The Manager was quite friendly at checkin but did not tell us the buffet rules I paid 500 and they started taking food away before everyone had eaten, we were told there was a 2 hr rule but they took full trays of food away that I had paid for, looked like they were taking it for the next party of staff members very disappointing to say the least.

Not good
Most of the staff at the bar were very pleasant and polite. The two ladies who were checking me in were incredible rude. Continued their conversation for a good minute and didn’t acknowledge me, then looked at the computer screen and demanded ‘you checking in’ Then in the evening one of these ladies (blonde bob hairstyle) was serving behind the bar. I asked for two bottles of water, only sparkling was available when I asked for tap instead (as I did not want sparkling) she banged the glass down and rolled her eyes. All the ther staff were pleasant enough, including the lady at reception in the evening. The room was grubby and while cleanish, had many marks and stains. The curtains also did not close properly making it a bit unnerving for a email travelling alone. It’s a shame as location was ideal, but I won’t be back

Room was clean and nice. Pub linked to hotel was just full of people who have never seen an outsider before. Had to move table 4 time because they would just stare at you. They are a different breed! Cheap food and drink though

The stay was easy to book and check in, pub just downstairs that does food and drink with easy access, Room was clean, sometimes the noise of people on the corridor can be heard quite easily and the shower pressure was very weak.

Felt quite dated and smelt musty as entered corridor to rooms, bathroom had mould stains and water wouldn’t drain in shower so filled up as using it. Nobody on reception to tell and even when we checked out again nobody there. Couldn’t find anyone in bar or around so couldn’t report before leaving. Good parking, check in ok, Very comfy bed and nice little touch with biscuits and tea/coffee sachets. Breakfast nice, prices in pub high compared to others in area but do get 10% off if staying in hotel. All in all was okay and got a good nights sleep.

Average at best
Hotel and rooms were average, booked a double and a twin to be given 2 doubles, then I was told no way I could have a twin as they where fully booked to go I. To my room and find two singles pushed together to Form a double, the. Was to much trouble to get extra bedding to split the beds. To then be told after we had food and drinks we get a discount, but then attitude from staff moaning about having to refund. Average at best but was only one night, food was nice

We did not go ahead with our stay after being informed by friends that it had had problems with clealiness as the Middlesbrough Gazette reported that after failing one inspection the second inspection found mouse droppings in 3 areas. To add insult to injury they would not return our booking fee.
