High Force Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A very luxurious stay, such a wonderful comfortable bed.. Fabulous food and drinks , with exclusive early access to the High Force waterfall. A magical walk in the very early sunshine.. Thoroughly recommend to others, and can't wait to go back for more !."

Brunswick House

10/10 Excellent

"What a fantastic B&B this is. I stayed with my sister just for one night but wished it was longer. The owner, Andrew, is such a lovely bloke and made us feel very welcome. Our room was a twin and attention to detail was amazing. We had a little fridge with fresh milk and water. There was tea and coffee, homemade biscuits and fresh fruit. Breakfast was cooked to order and was fabulous. There are pubs and a couple of restaurants nearby and Andrew provides an honesty bar in the property. We ordered a packed lunch for the next day and it was the best I’ve ever had. We parked onsite. It was tight on the driveway but my Ford Puma was ok with it. This place is fabulous. I highly recommend."
