Slaley Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

8/10 Good
"A good impression on arrival as you drive to the front door. There are a few appointed disability parking spaces but there is additional space that can be used providing it does not limit the thoroughfare. A large parking area is nearby but involves a 5 min walk back. Check-in was handled well for our group although dining that night as a group required meals to be pre-selected to help the catering staff. Whist complying with this requirement, the actual meal service was sporadic with some meals not as hot as they should have been. Rooms were well appointed with all the amenities including a fridge. The hotel has a few disability rooms available with a shower area & sliding en-suite door. These rooms must be requested during the booking service. Rooms have an aircon or heat system to warm the area and easily controlled with wall mounted thermostat. A room card is required to be inserted to activate room electricity to lights, sockets & heating. Beds were comfortable & duvets sufficient for a warm sleep. Rooms are of sufficient size to incorporate a small table and 2 chairs. Room cleaning undertaken each day if required and refreshments replenished - tea, coffee etc & 2 bottles of water. There are a few lounges where you can sit in comfort, have a drink which can be ordered at the bar. Eating is available in the bar area for lunches/meals seperately to the dining room. Pool, sauna etc is available & spa treatments can be pre-booked. Our 2nd 3 night stay at a good price."
