"Rooms were dirty! Stains all over the carpet. Dead flies all over the windowsill. Locks broken on the windows so couldn’t be opened or closed, just constantly ajar and in a windy area so just a constant whistle. When ordering food starters and mains came together, and the waitress then said you need to tell them when ordering that you wants starters first….. I mean isn’t that the point?!"

"Terrible all round experience. Greene King should be ashamed"

"Really nice hotel handy for the Teesdale Way with Pool and Spa - food was great and staff first class"

"Easy check in, friendly staff and nice modern room. Would definitely recommend. "

"Used as a weekend visit to Guisborough and the surrounding area. The hotel is only a few minutes' drive from the centre of the town, which has an array of street and other car parking. I understand that it is also possible to travel by bus from outside the hotel, but I did not explore this further. The hotel itself has a welcoming beer garden, but there is nothing around it that you might walk to. The hotel has a huge free car park, and the reception we had from Ben was first class. The bar was smart, well-used by locals with a good choice of drinks in comfortable surroundings. Our room was a twin on the first floor. Had all that you would expect at the price point charged. Overall decent value. We ate our evening meals in the restaurant. Good menu with again a reasonably priced choice of meals. Quality decent with good sized portions All in all, a good experience if you are visiting the area."

"Room was nice. Very creeky floorboards which I suppose can’t be helped in an old building. We had a lovely view of a roof."

"Very large room. Room 53 in a separate building from the main hotel building. Huge living area and 2 bedrooms and one bathroom. Just a minute off the motorway. Tired fittings and fixtures. Dated bathroom. Sofa and chairs look newer though. Perfect for overnight stop which is what we used it for (very spacious for 3 adults). We arrived at half past midnight and reception was friendly, quick and helpful."

"Staff were kind and friendly. Food was good in the bar but over priced. My room was grubby, the bedding and bathroom were clean but there was dust and dirt on the ledges and windowsills. No shower gel in the bathroom either. I was also above the kitchen there was lots of banging about outside and a constant humming/droning from what sounded like extractor fans. This did stop around 9pm but then started up again at 10pm. It was really quite loud, I could still hear it when I had my headphones in. I was charged twice, payment taken by expedia and by the hotel. I have been advised that the hotel have refunded my payment but nothing showing yet. It is such a shame this beautiful building is being left to deteriorate but not spending money is one thing, there is no excuse for it not being cleaned properly."

"Excellent service, nice room and good value food, nice spa and gardens"
