Overall, we enjoyed our stay - there are a small details that could be improved (for example, it's a bit cold in the bathroom) and no kettle in the room (however there is an area where you can make a cuppa yourself), but the biggest bummer for me was that the breakfast is only till 9 which was not ideal on a holiday and especially New Year's Day. But honestly, excellent value for money and breakfast was good indeed.

What an amazing place!…read more Blink and you might miss one of Northumberland's true hidden treasures. It's only a small inn (4 rooms) but each room is delightfully appointed. I was fortunate to get a tour of the rooms by the owner and they were spotless and modern. The pub itself serves cold beer with a warm atmosphere. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable too. But the food is the real star here. British classics and local favourites professionally prepared. The evening I was there the place was packed and every plate was empty at the end. Oh, and free wifi too!

Lovely old hotel in heart of Durham provides a great base for the city and area. With any old hotel…read morethere are a few negatives as well as positives. The rooms are spacious and well equipped but my 3rd floor room did not have a good bathroom. Shower was underpowered and in a very slippery bath with a shower curtain. Not ideal as shower curtains are not what I expect in a high end hotel, while the bath is pretty dangerous and I would be concerned for older guests stepping out. In addition some tiles were missing above wash basin. Breakfast consisted of hot and cold buffet and was very good. So some hits and misses but location was a winner.

Came for a Day Spa at The Garage, The Morritt recently. The place was lovely, surroundings were…read moregorgeous. As it was a week day it was really quiet. The Spa was very quaint, different to others I have been but very well thought out. Robes, towels and slippers provided along with a tour of all the facilities. Outdoor sauna and Jacuzzi, plenty of seats to chill in the sunshine. Indoors there were 3 treatment rooms, steam room, salt room and 3 tubs to soak in. Treatments vary: I had a sea salt scrub which lasted 25 mins and later in the day a full body massage which lasted 50 mins. All very relaxing. Included in the £109 price was a 2 course meal in the restaurant. Delicious, well prepared and presented food. The staff were exceptionally helpful and pleasant, nothing was too much trouble, which made the whole experience a delight. I really can't fault my experience and will be returning.
