The hotel has a great location for walks and is within easy reach of Darlington. The rooms were very small and poorly decorated, lacking amenities like a proper shower and wardrobe facilities. However, the staff were friendly and professional. Dining options were limited and inconvenient due to staggered meal times. The picturesque stable block area was quiet but not easily accessible without a car.

The hotel feels more like a staff accommodation than a guest bedroom, underwhelming for the location and past its prime. It had a lingering smell resembling that of an old people's home. On the upside, the grounds are beautiful and the atmosphere is relaxing, with lovely food and beer available.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were warm when we stayed, and although we hadn't informed the hotel, we ended up spending time at reception which was a bit inconvenient. On the bright side, our room had a lovely four-poster bed and was extremely spacious, almost like having a tennis court inside!

The hotel offers a mix of spacious and small rooms for the same price, with a through lounge and kitchen corridor layout. Despite some noise issues, the room was well-appointed but cozy. The service has adapted well to health protocols, and the staff, including the chef, were exceptional. The location is convenient near the A1M, great for a relaxing stroll, and the friendly staff enhance the pleasant atmosphere. The dining, although off the menu, was a bit overdone at times. Overall, the hotel provides good value for money.
