Regno Unito: hotel con palestra nella provincia di Darlington

First impressions Exterior of the building is impressive, beautiful honey-coloured stone. Gardens and grounds lovely too. Extremely well situated just a short way off the A1 but not close enough to be bothered by road noise. Dinner & Breakfast Dinner served in Oswald's restaurant was quick, and well presented, but not exceptional - so worth trying if you don't want to drive out, but if there is a next time I'd probably try a local pub instead. Spa Initially looked nice but despite being extremely quiet (i.e.no-one in there - on a Saturday afternoon), and there being 3 staff on duty, it was not particularly clean. There were crumbs on the chairs in the reception lounge area, the changing rooms had dirty wet floors, including tissues and it smelt damp. My friend and I had a treatment each. The girls, whilst pleasant were very inexperienced and couldn't answer simple, basic , questions about the treatments or products being used. Disappointed. Hotel interior and bedroom The newer part of the hotel didn't seem too bad, but the old part in a word... Filthy....particularly carpets in the restaurant, door paintwork and handles. The more I looked the more nauseous I felt. In dire need of a deep clean and refurbishment. Age of the building is no excuse, I've stayed in many very old properties with tatty old carpets and furniture but they were immaculately clean.

Ideale per un fermo sul nostro viaggio a sud dalla Scozia a Londra. L'hotel ha carattere e la camera prenota è super con un bel bagno, compreso un bagno spa. Le strutture spa sono davvero buone anche con piscina, una sauna calda decente e una stanza a vapore. Solo un po' di cena. Vorrei incontrare il cuoco che mette il suo nome al burger della firma - non era molto buono. Il buffet per colazione, dall'altro lato, era molto buono.Rimarrà ancora.
