My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and slightly disappointing experiences. The rooms were clean and spacious, but they didn't get very dark, so I woke up early. Despite the upgrade with a lovely view and very clean accommodations, there were some minor inconveniences.

Location

The location, although a bit tatty in appearance, is lovely being surrounded by quiet countryside. It's conveniently situated for the event we were attending and near Hamsterley Forest.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience varied from self-service cereal and coffee/tea, which was a bit average for my taste, to a delicious meal that I would highly recommend visiting. The full English breakfast wasn't my cup of tea, but it was well-cooked.
