Great hotel and location

Check in was very easy, staff were very friendly and helpful, room was lovely , larger than expected with 4 poster bed. Great hotel in great location. Bar area was very nice with painted mural walls. Only minor negative comment would be that the paint work i.e. doors and skirting was looking very tired, could do with a refresh.

Excellent hotel and great value for money

Stayed one night on a visit to the nearby Bowes Museum. We had a very pleasant drink in the hotel bar (famous wall murals) followed by an excellent dinner Our room was comfortable (though I needed to remake the bed - sheets were crumpled and not tucked in). Lovely full breakfast. We're looking forward to our next stay in this great hotel.
