County Hotel

County Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"It was really good value for money. The staff, party the young man on reception, were friendly and helpful. As a grade 2 listed building the property is showing signs of age and the floors were very creaky. The room was a good size , clean and the bed was really comfortable. The location is brilliant with excellent views from the room. Very close to the station, Citadel and all local amenities. Overall would be happy to stay there again."

"A brief stay on a journey north. The room was the standard I would expect for the price, although I found my single bed less comfortable than most. Breakfast, however, was excellent with really good sausages!"

The staff were really helpful and friendly, they took the time to stop and chat and nothing was to much trouble. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. Dinner and Breakfast were excellent with plenty of options, served in a stunning restaurant. I would highly recommend Langley Castle, will definitely be going back."

North Lakes Hotel And Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We had an excellent stay at the North Lakes hotel last weekend! As we were travelling with our toddler, we chose a superior room to allow for more space. The room was clean and appeared to be recently refurbished. The small extra touches such as a full-size fridge, coffee machine and welcome biscuit were welcomed. This hotel is fab for day trips into the Lakes and evenings in the impressive spa and restaurant onsite."
