The location is superb but the hotel does not match this. The staff are reasonable, the food is very expensive for not much quality or quantity and the place is tired. Coupled with problems in checking out it was nice but we will likely not return.

The hotel is in a fantastic location. If you’re expecting modern and contemporary then think again. It’s an old building but the staff are very nice and it has character.

Such a beautiful and relaxing setting. A quiet ambient indoor setting to and furnished well. The food was adequate at breakfast and the evening meal was good. An improvement would be better quality pillows as the ones provided where flat and uncomfortable.

Hotel, restaurant and bar meals all grossly overrated and overpriced. For example, £10 for soup and £12 for a piece of cheesecake on the bar menu. The breakfast selection was poor; full English and/or cereals. No continental options such as meats, fruits or pastries. The hotel is very tired looking, with damp areas showing throughout. The rooms are very basic, even though we paid for an executive room. Woken in the night by the noisy shower in the next door room. Altogether, not the experience we were hoping for. Very disappointed.

Stayover for the Sheepdog Trials

We both slept well in very comfortable beds. My average scores reflect the draughty and cool Derwent Bar which reduced the pleasure of a pre-Dinner drink. My wife’s diet is restricted and she was allowed to order the Haddock and Chips in the Restaurant - sadly - no Mushy Peas. My choice of the Lamb Rump proved to be mediocre and as such well over-priced at £30. We enjoyed sharing the Cheeseboard which was enough for two. The Waitress was helpful and very pleasant. Breakfast OK but limited choice of Cereal.

Poor quality hotel in good location

The only thing going for this hotel is its location. The rooms, staff service, are poor. AA 3* is very generous. Everything seems to be very basic.
