I stayed here for a night recently, very convenient location right at the city centre…read more Beautiful interior, I would say not that long ago that it must have been refurbished in high standards. The bed was very comfy, lots of pillows, dark furniture, modern shower. Their breakfast was pretty good although the chef decided to discard my preference for scrabbled eggs and offered a simple fried one, just because ?? I did raise it to the waiting staff and he did remember my order and offered to correct it, but I was too hungry to wait :-) More eclectic options from the typical breakfast are also offered, like eggs Benedict, cooked per order, so I will definitely give them a try next time I'm around. It would be appreciated if they would provide in advance tips for accessing the wifi from a non-Windows device / Internet explorer rather than having to call their reception to troubleshoot it. Even in that scenario though, I still didn't manage to connect successfully from my room, luckily I could use the phone fine - 4G reception is strong within the centre. Last but not least: book your breakfast from the reception rather than at the restaurant on the spot: it's about £4 cheaper that way! Enjoy!!!

Nice Hotel, lovely big old building, friendly staff, and half decent rooms. Never ate in here, but…read moreI believe the food is rather pleasant. The bar is ok, with late residents serving .. The guy that works as the security during late serving is very friendly and attentive, during normal hours the bar and restaurant are manned by happy and welcoming staff. This will come as a welcome relief to many staying here, as it is a great place to escape the local pillocks of Richmond, who don't seem to enter this place due to the presence of decent conversation and nice interior decor ..

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.

It is not only a hotel but a successful pub which seems to have built much of the new business around food trade. It reopened with its new smart look and now offers decant pub grub for reasonable prices. With it been owned by a chain the food is clearly chain type food with it's snazzy well planed menus to suit all tastes and with everything looking perfect but like most chains it does lack from a chef ran kitchen rather than everything from packets or the freezer but in general the quality of the food meets customers expectations. They offer a number of meal deals very much like the likes of Witherspoons. Overall Good value, smart decor, clean, friendly staff with fair price / chain type food

The food arrived in very good time and was delicious. The chocolate brownie almost defeated me because it was so massive I nearly didn't finish it.

The small complaint I had was that the music was a tad loud but that us nothing really.

As of October 2014, The Mowden Pub is under new management and has been refurbished. As someone…read morewho's been visiting the pub on and off for 20+ years I can say, hand on heart, this is the best thing that has ever happened to the Mowden. The new owners have managed to refurbish the pub whilst keeping a lot of what made the The Mowden "The Mowden". Whilst still a pub, the emphasis is now on the food and what a pleasant experience it is. All the food seems fresh and is rather tasty. The staff are helpful and pleasant and the atmosphere is just right for a nice family meal or a romantic meal for two..if you can get a table (so ring ahead and book one). Whilst there isn't a huge choice of dishes on the main menu, there are special daily dishes and certain nights cater to certain meal types along with all the other pub activities you'd expect. Drink wise however, I'm not sure what to think. One one hand they have some nice ales and beers now but on the other they got rid of some of my favorite brands in the change over. Regardless, if you've never been or not been in sometime, now is the time to visit and enjoy a newer nicer Mowden in every sense!
