"We booked a 2 night stay in one of the family rooms. For what the hotel offered it was exceptionally good value. We barely found any other hotels around with decent rooms for the same price, nevermind one with a swimming room and gym! The family room was great, although we did switch it to begin with. The rooms are in 2 sections and our first room had one of the kids beds in with the double bed, meaning if we'd stayed there with our 2 year old we wouldn't have been able to watch TV, make a brew or even talk! Probably not an issue with older kids who stay up later, but just something to be mindful of when booking with younger kids. That being said they staff switched out room with no hesitation and we did get one that had both kids beds together and the double separate. We arrived with bikes and the staff kindly allowed us to store them inside a locked room in the hotel which saved us the worry of leaving them on the car roof for the whole visit. Another nice touch. Breakfast was great, porridge, fruit, cereals, croissants, yogurts and a full cooked option too. Enough there to fill our kids up and save a few quid on lunch! Swimming was an added bonus, but just be mindful that kids can only swim 8am-10am (which is right through the breakfast time) or 2pm-6pm. This did take some careful planning on when to go without it interfering with the rest of our plans. However, we did manage to go twice in the 2 days. The later check out of 11am as standard was very helpful as well!"

"Very cosy, welcoming place. Everything you need is available even some groceries for the first days."

"We found the property clean but lacking, certainly not "Superb". The decor was sparse e.g. bare light bulbs. Negatives Bathroom: no mirror, no towel rails, only one hand towel in the property for three. Kitchen: Two sets of knives & forks for three, no large glasses or wine glasses, no fire blanket/extinguisher, no downstairs smoke alarm I could spot. Small bedroom: no hanging space, one plug socket (used by lamp), only one half of a pair of curtains. Large bedroom: two hangers on a free-standing rail, only one bedside lamp. Lounge: no live TV channels despite the obvious lead trailing to a wall-mounted aerial. Slow WiFi for streaming. Positives Close to Bishop Auckland. Complimentary tea/coffee, kitchen & toilet roll. Comfortable bedding and soft towels."
