Overall great stay

Place was amazing, room was perfect, hot tub exactly how it should be. The only thing that let the stay down was how slow the service was with food in the restaurant, the food was really nice just the overall service wasn’t great that was both the evening meal and breakfast, the restaurant wasn’t busy either on the evening or morning so not sure if this is a 1 off or the normal but overall great stay I would definitely go back again but maybe not have a meal on the night especially.

Amazing Stay – Relaxing Hot Tub & Fantastic Food!

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The hotel itself was beautiful, but the highlight was definitely the hot tub – the perfect addition for a truly relaxing getaway. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless and welcoming. The staff in the restaurant were fantastic—so friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding, full of flavour and beautifully presented, and the cocktails were just perfect. Every little detail made the stay feel special, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious break!

Thoroughly recommended

This is a lovely place to stay, very peaceful and quiet and close to Barnard Castle. The staff are friendly and the service was excellent. The rooms are as good as they look on the photos. Good WiFi and place to catch up on work near the bar area. I see it is a Wedding venue too, I’d say it’s a great place for a party.
