3.1 / 5 3.1 / 5 Marc [bishop auckland, GB] on 22/07/2009 (Mature couple)

The Manor and its grounds are beautiful. The room was really nice, clean, spacious, so definitely good value.

The service in the restaurant was really bad. The food is so expensive, that one would expect better service. When we ordered our food in the bar, we were not helped carry our drinks through to the restaurant. The service was very casually and quite cheeky in the restaurant. The main course was cold. We told the waitress this, who told us she would tell the chef, but we heard nothing after that, no apology, reduction etc.

Overall: If you want to stay the night and not eat, this is a fantastic place, and I'd recommend it. But the food and service are bad. Don't go here for a special occasion. What a shame, this place has such potential.  (108604160)

Freindly, helpful staff. Quickly changed our room when asked as the first room in the couryard rooms was cold (we were travelling with a small puppy and guests with pets are allocated these rooms for easy access) Very comfortable bed and also nice and clean. Food in the restaurant was well cooked and enjoyable. Swimming pool temperature nice and warm.

None that mattered - could possibly do with a bit of updating in places. Changing rooms etc in the swimming pool could do with a bit of TLC.

Overall: All in all a pleasant stay in a lovely old house - would definately go back.  (107831166)

Fantastic room, very warm and clean. Excellent bathroom and shower leisure area warm and good facilities Good breakfast

A bit noisy from the floorboards from the room above.

Overall: We stayed on business and we picked it becuase we are sick of those anonymous boxes which all look the same and where you could be anywhere. In this hotel we found warmth, individuality, attention to detail and good customer service. I would definately recommend.  (107835055)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
