Top Bowlees Visitor Centre Hotel Reviews

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."

The King's Head

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place. What a beautiful pub and inn. Stunning location. Staff in particular were brilliant; friendly, welcoming and excellent hosts. I will be staying here again."

The Fox Hall Inn

10/10 Excellent

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"

The George Of Piercebridge

The Kings Head Hotel, Richmond, North Yorkshire

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night on way north. Nice room. Nice evening meal. Paid £10 to park overnight at hotel. Did not want to pay £32 for breakfast for two (went to The Station). Very central. Would recommend."

The World Famous Tan Hill Inn

8/10 Good

"The night we were there there was a gig on and also a 50th birthday celebration so the place was heaving & it was difficult to find somewhere to sit until our dining table became free at 7.45pm"

Appleby Castle

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing experience to be in a real castle we chose a cheaper room so we didn’t have an en-suite but a beautiful bathroom in the corridor instead. The owners were so helpful and friendly and we had a very good quality evening meal with beautiful romantic piano music played by the manager and a history talk too. The owner was a beautiful lady who chatted to us in the bar area. We’d like to go again. Breakfast was good."
