The Morritt Country House Hotel & The Garage Spa

Lovely hotel and surroundings off A66…

5 / 5

We stopped here for a change on our way to Scotland. The hotel is lovely to look at with idyllic surroundings. The staff were very friendly upon arrival and throughout. We enjoyed a drink in the lounge area before our room was ready. The room was a good size and very comfortable. We had dinner in the bistro which was also very good with the bar area offering lots of character. Breakfast was very good the following morning and checkout easy. Will definitely staff here again.…We stopped here for a change on our way to Scotland. The hotel is lovely to look at with idyllic surroundings.

We enjoyed being out in the country again. The land lady was extremely helpful and friendly. Beautiful home made scones in the room when we arrived. A full size kettle to make a pot of tea and homemade biscuits. Really lovely touches - chocolates on the towels! An extremely well organised hostess - lovely breakfasts - smoked salmon and scrambled eggs was delicious.…

Brunswick house break…

5 / 5

The accommodation was very comfortable with lots of little extras, eg: homemade biscuits, fresh fruit bowl, small fridge with fresh milk and bottled water. Fabulous choices for breakfast. This is a very old building so do not expect the rooms to be large but they are adequate and beautifully decorated. We had a 3 night stay and we had taken both car and our motorbike as we were not sure how the weather would be, so the secure parking was appreciated. …The accommodation was very comfortable with lots of little extras, eg: homemade biscuits, fresh fruit bowl, small fridge with fresh milk and bottled water.
