Ravenstonedale / Kirkby Stephen

"We loved our stay at mallard Lodge and would definitely recommend. The weather was awful but expected in January but it didn't stop the kids fun. Lots of places to see. Great walks. Was wonderful to return to a warm, cosy lodge and a relaxing dip in the hot tub. Not fantastic TV reception or WiFi but we were there to escape all that. Anything we needed help with, selina was only a call away. We are looking forward to visiting again. X"

Ravenstonedale / Kirkby Stephen

"We all had the most wonderful New Year stay at Curlew Lodge, it was spotless with some lovely personal touches such as fresh bread, eggs, butter & a chocolate cake that was delicious! The garden & views were lovely. The weather was terrible for most of our stay so didn’t manage to explore as much as we’d have have liked. The local village was a 25 min walk, we enjoyed a few visits to the Kings Head which was lovely with good food & atmosphere. We look forward to going back again. The only...

Top Barnard Castle Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

8/10 Good

"Staff very friendly and helpful. Had meal in the bar in the evening, service very good and food was nice although felt portions were small for a main course. Room was clean and amenities were good, lovely shower. Hotel had parking on site which was very spacious and plenty of spaces, but £11.00 charge of overnight until checkout,"

The Old Well Inn

"Room in an old, character property, pub and restaurant on the ground floor. I was on the second floor, which was"

Redworth Hall Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, in older side of building could do with modernising and revamp."

Slaley Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely stay at Slaley Hall. The building, grounds and setting are beautiful. Our spacious room had a huge picture window overlooking the golf course, a large comfortable bed and good amenities. The complimentary minibar was a lovely touch. The food was excellent. Breakfast had a great range of cooked and continental choices and our evening meals were every bit as good, if not better. The bar staff were always friendly, smiling and chatty, despite the bar appearing understaffed at times. There were some housekeeping issues. The sofa was stained, the iron needed cleaning before use and glasses left in our room on day two hadn’t been cleaned properly, with lipstick still visible on one rim. Restaurant service was our main disappointment. On one occasion I waited while two staff continued discussing which tables they would serve before acknowledging me. On our final evening, around five staff were talking together while we waited to be seated. We could hear them discussing which guests had or hadn’t tipped, including guests who had experienced problems with their stays. This felt inappropriate and unprofessional. These issues didn’t spoil what was otherwise a really enjoyable stay. We’d happily return, but greater attention to housekeeping and restaurant service would make a very good stay an excellent one."

North Lakes Hotel And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our second time at this hotel great location for a Scotland/Wales meet up. Great spa friendly staff came last year also and plan to come back next year. Great fo r a spa break. Really comfy bed and great coffee in the room. Suni the supervisor was v helpful and accommodating"

The Morritt Country House Hotel & The Garage Spa

8/10 Good

"Location is lovely quiet and picturesque. We were at a wedding close by so only needed the hotel to sleep at, the hotel is a bit in need of a re-furb but very nice staff and the room was fresh and comfortable. The room was clean, bedding and bed were comfortable we did not eat as arrived at 3 dropped bags and headed to wedding.left at 8 in morning Would stay again as we both said apart from corridors and general impression it was a nice nights sleep Plenty parking and nice area for a morning walk"
