Disappointed

Hotel lift was out of order had to drag my case up 2 flight of stairs with a bad knee. Staff were friendly but hotel was bedrooms were dated the ceiling in my room looks like it had been water damaged and artex all cracked abd discoloured, Bathroom looked newish but sink obviously had issues with the plug as it had been removed leaving broken edges. The shower was terrible water just dribbled out, Carpets were all marked and look very tired. The saving grace was my evening meal this was delicious and staff were very friendly but bedrooms need some TLC

Gibside, good job

We only stayed at this hotel for one night and it was great. The check in/out was quick and straightforward. Staff were pleasant and very helpful. It’s a lovely looking hotel, the decor was beautiful. Only little problem was the shower was difficult to turn on and not hot enough when turned to max. Other than that we all said we would stay there again.

The premium room was large, warm & comfortable, a significant improvement over the standard room in which I have stayed in the past. Unfortunately, the soundproofing from the road roar outside & noise from adjoining rooms was poor, leading to my being awoken by “rutting bison” in the early hours.
