We had a wonderful stay at this exceptional stately hotel. Having stayed in similar properties, we’ve sometimes found that while the communal areas have been beautifully presented, the bedrooms and other areas can feel a little tired behind the facade. That certainly wasn’t the case here. The hotel was beautifully maintained throughout. The reception areas and bar were comfortable, elegant and welcoming, with plenty of lovely spaces to sit and relax. Outside, there are wonderful areas where you can enjoy a drink in the sunshine while overlooking the beautifully manicured gardens. It was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The staff were absolutely amazing — professional, polite, attentive and efficient throughout our stay. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and they really couldn’t have done any more to make us feel welcome. We didn’t dine at the hotel in the evening, but we did enjoy a delightful breakfast with an excellent choice of both hot and cold options. Our bedroom was particularly impressive. It was large, airy and spacious rather than the more typical boxed-in hotel room. It was very comfortable and had air conditioning, a large bath and good-quality toiletries — all lovely touches that made the stay even more enjoyable. The hotel is just a few minutes outside Yarm, so you would need to drive or take a taxi if you want to visit the town. A taxi costs approximately £15, but we felt the peaceful setting was well worth it. Overall, this was a lovely, relaxing stay in a beautifully maintained hotel with outstanding staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be returning.
