I stayed here 3 separate times on my recent trip and was able to stay in 3 different rooms.
Pros:
- The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating
- Shortbread & sparkling/still water free each day in the room
- Shower pressure in all rooms was excellent
- The towel warmer was a nice feature
- Fans available
- Plenty of parkin,g including EV charging
- Front house rooms are charming and larg,e but could do with a deep clean and a bit of a glow up in terms of paint and curtain cleaning.
- Facilities within the hotel are fantastic
- Windows open in rooms for fresh air
Cons:
- Musky/sweaty smell in old rooms
- Lack of an elevator in front house
- Power outage every morning, sometimes multiple times
- No conditioner or amenities inthe bathroom
- No air conditioner inthe front house rooms
- Hard pillows unless in upgraded rooms
- Back house 'modern' rooms are falling apart eg, paint coming off the wall and lack of working fixtures (side lamps)
- Cleaning wasnt the best, checked into a room where side drawers had questionable items left and soap in the shower didnt get refilled for days
- Weird places for powerpoints, not close to bed.
- No minibar or place to keep things cold unless in upgraded rooms.
Overall I had a pleasant stay each time and would stay here again, just things to be mindful of.
The property is historical and charming, and the location is good. It is quiet and about a 10-20-minute drive to main destinations like Bishop Auckland or Darlington.
