Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located for breaking a long journey, situated right by the A66. The rooms were very good but had issues with noisy mornings from the service area and difficulty in temperature control. The service was friendly but had some maintenance issues like cracked tiles and limited mobility access to the shower. The location is great for a stopover with easy access and beautiful surroundings. The dining experience was enjoyable overall but with a minor issue of cold food. Facilities were decent overall.
Despite some room issues like tired elements and cleanliness, the hotel offers a dog-friendly atmosphere in a peaceful setting. While the service was a bit mixed with amazing highlights and some staff seeming unhappy, the location provides easy access to main roads amidst a charming countryside vibe. The dining experience, though sparse, was good value for money.
The hotel offered exquisite rooms with a wonderful view of the castle and grounds, yet a bit tired in need of TLC. The service was very friendly and professional overall but lacked proper communication leading to inconveniences. The location was near the A66 and Barnard Castle, with slight traffic noise. The dining experience was decent but underwhelming due to limited options. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfactory.
