Lovely stay, food was fantastic. Both evening meal and breakfast was devine. Room was beautiful and immaculate.
Great castle with lots of history, we did the castle tour that they do every morning which we thought was a lovely touch.

Generally we liked everything, though lots of items, the bathroom for example was what we would call 'tatty' doubtless because you have been closed due to Covid for lengthy periods this year and last. Thus repainting has not been able to be done. Sleeping was good, not least because Elizabeth was able to have sheets and blankets rather than a duvet.....exactly as we requested in fact. Good. But we loved being there and the setting is wonderful. You may indeed suffer the doubtful pleasure of...

Fantastic, authentic castle with such history and higgledy piggledy corridors. It was our anniversary and we were welcomed with an anniversary card which was a nice touch. The staff were excellent. We only had breakfast which was delicious and staff were efficient and friendly. The food in the library looked good. We had a courtyard room and were very happy with it. If you're expecting modern, corporate decor it might not be for you but we liked it and so nice to stay in a castle with character....

We had a great welcome after walking all day on the Pennine Way. The room was comfortable, clean and met our every need.
The evening meal was delicious and ample.
We would definitely recommend High Force Hotel.

Lovely room (room 4), but needs a mirror over the chest of drawers so that you can use a hairdryer, as there is no mirror and plug together in that room.
A coat hook on the back of the bathroom door and also a shelf in there would be useful.
Always a pleasure to stay at this lovely hotel.

The hotel is lovely and modern it’s right by the quayside. The car park is directly behind the hotel.
Our room didn’t have a magnifying mirror or a minibar however the receptionist made a note to add these if we visit again.

Lovely room and bed very comfortable. I hadn't realised there was a pool so can't comment on that but it looked very clean and quiet.
Very close to metro centre so ideal if that's what you are there for. Taxi to Quayside cost around £14 one way
