Stayed here several times, even a couple of times when they had only just re opened following each of the Covid lockdowns and always enjoyed, had a fab welcome and the rooms are clean.
Not saying its perfect for everyone as some of you will not be a fan of the gold and red decor in the rooms , reception and corridors. But its not shabby its just old fashioned.
The bathrooms are moden and the bar and restaurant have had a face lift with a not ultra moden colour scheme of cream and blue but it suits the building style.
Dont expect spa, gym or pool and dont expect room service or cocktails.
But you will always get a warm and friendly welcome and service.
The setting is off the beat and track , but worth finding this gem, at the side of the woods , with stream running over waterfall and rock oh and keep your eyes peeled for red squirrels.
Food is good at breakfast though no veggie sausages which some did complain about, food is good value in the evening though a limited choice of 4 starters 4 mains and 4 puds including a veggie option. Yorkshire portions for the main and loads of veg.
Bar prices higher than pub prices but not that bad for a hotel.

The hotel used to be a manor, with garden bridges and artificial rivers, the environment is very beautiful. The hotel also has recreational facilities, where you can play table tennis and billiards. The food is a little lackluster, but otherwise good.

Stayed on numerous occasions as is just a lovely quiet getaway. Do need your own transport if you want to get about and see towns and villages around the area. Staff amazing as always and make you feel right at home. Hotel is dated if a little shabby but this is the charm and character of the place. Surrounding grounds are perfect for just relaxing and watching the red squirrels and a variety of birds. The breakfast is great and evening meal offers plenty of choice.

Great hotel rooms were large and everything we needed. Super value for money. The staff were amazing considering it was Easter and how busy they were, still managed to smile and make time for us. Would highly recommend to stay there as more than reasonable and near the Lakes and The Dales .. will definitely return… thank you guys

Lovely 'ArtDeco' hidden gem off the M6. Old quaint place that looks like a set off Hercule Poirot. Dining room is like being on the Titanic !
Lovely staff and great breakfast. Enjoyed our stay.
