Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms felt luxurious with a beautiful bathroom and a relaxing atmosphere, although some fittings could be improved. The service was top-notch, especially with the staff fulfilling all my requests promptly. The location was perfect, near Hadrian's Way footpath and other attractions, making it convenient for exploring. The dining experience was delicious with a fabulous view over the golf course. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few room for improvement on certain fittings.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms felt like a 5-star retreat with beautiful fittings and a stunning view of the surrounding golf club. The service was top-notch and the location was pure luxury by a mature forest. Dining with a view over the golf course was a highlight, and the facility was top-notch. If you are looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway, this is the place to be.
The hotel is located near Hadrian's Way footpath, in a casual pub-like setting rather than a grand estate, with the 19 restaurant situated above the golf reception, providing easy access to the coast. The rooms offer a luxurious 5-star feel, complete with access to the golf club's restaurant bar, featuring spacious beds, great bathrooms, and high-spec fittings. Although the dining boasts a fabulous view over the golf course, the cuisine focuses on local fish. The service is prompt and meets special requests such as dry cleaning.
