    We stayed here overnight for a relatives christening in the area over halloween weekend…read more First impressions were not excellent, check in was a little bit of a hassle there were two staff on checking people in and there were two couples/families waiting to check in before us and it must have taken over half an hour to get checked in which I feel was way too long. We were however given free WifFi once checked in BUT as the rooms were set out I could not get a signal on my smart phone other than when I was in the bar area. Speaking of how the rooms were set out, it looks like the hotel has been converted from an old resedential home. Other than that the rooms were comfortable and clean. Once we had check in out of the way the experiance took a bit of a step upwards the bar area is really nice and the touch with all the wine bottles scattered around the bar as the pictures I took look well. There is a decent variety of drinks on offer as I sampled quite a few of the whiskeies which were all very nice. We didnt eat in the restaurant in the evening but the menu looked very nice. There is a nice pool area and a large gym which is also available which I didnt make use of while staying there but is a nice touch. Breakfast was nice with a buffet style set up with fresh fruit cereal and full english breakfast available to choose from, so naturally I chose all three! All in all after the palavour of check in the stay improoved and was much better and for £50 a night was quite reasonable

    My partner and I had booked a wedding package with this outfit for July 2020. Despite frequent…read morechanges in coordinator (they currently dont have one at all) and very little in the way of communication we thought all was looking ok as the time approached (We initially started the booking in 2018) When the lockdown began we realised we had backed the wrong horse. All efforts to reach them failed up until 2 months before the wedding when we managed to get in touch to be offered an alternative date. we stupidly agreed to move the wedding to the next year but had an uneasy feeling regarding the continued lack of communication or engagement from the coordinator regarding decoration, seating plans etc. Attempts to contact were fobbed of with claims that the person we wanted to speak to wasn't there or had left the business (seemingly a common occurrence for sporting lodge employees) As the 30 people restrictions showed no sign of being lifted we enquired about costing up a smaller event, we were told that this would be fine and to expect a price the next week......2 weeks later I ask again, again, by the middle of next week you'll have the price. My partner is a Nurse and I work in public transport so we have little time to be running after people to persuade them to let us spend money with them. So I asked to cancel in order to book a place that is actually geared up and has the staff to host wedding receptions. This is where things got nasty. Despite guidelines from the government saying that weddings which are cancelled due to the coronavirus should be given a full refund of any advance payments, and even without the virus the government guidelines say there should be no retaining of deposits that dosent reflect actual costs incurred by the cancellation, we were told repeatedly that the overseas owners of this establishment refuse to adhere to this and will retain the substantial deposit. Attempts to ask how 2 meetings with 2 different wedding coordinators could possibly cost £600 were met with a week long silence followed by rude and dismissive conduct by the general manager (Dean Long). So, to sum up, this venue is incredibly insensitive and would gladly screw over key workers for their own financial gain during a global pandemic. I genuinely hope no one else books with these unscrupulous characters and can only pray for the poor couples who'll have their money stolen if they need to cancel with the new 15 people limit in place. May I add that every other supplier from Cars to photographers...even the kids entertainment have been nothing but helpful and understanding.Show less

    I booked in here in an emergency as it was close to my mum who was ill. I was appalled at the state…read moreof it. I was shown a room which can only be described as hostel like. There was no phone (which they had said there was), no wifi (I was too far away from the hub according to them), the toilet was broken and dirty, the waste basket hadn't been emptied and there was underwear in it and the bedding was a counterpane - this was January and it was snowing! There was little heating in the room. I called the receptionist on my phone and when she came to the room she said she couldn't see anything wrong with it. The smell of cooking (cabbage like) in the reception area was overwhelming. I had to argue with the "director", who refused to look up from his computer, just to get my money back. If you're thinking of staying here only do it if you like dirty places with staff who don't give a damn. If I could give this zero stars I would.

    There are very easy road links to this hotel as it is on the 172/174 junction. Plenty of car…read moreparking spaces on the grounds. This hotel always seems to be busy however it needs a big revamp. The decor is very shabby particularly on entry. There is a large function room which is big enough to hold weddings, antiques fairs etc. The hotel has an established hair dressers. Near by is a little row of local shops for any needs you may have and is on the main road into middlesbrough for easy access to town
