"A friendly welcome by George & his staff at The High Force Hotel. Our room was small but comfortable (room 7) with an excellent shower & the mattress / bedding were superb. Breakfast was a feast with a huge range of foods to choose from. Added bonus was the free access tickets to both High Force Waterfall & Raby Castle which were both delightful & well worth visiting. With free car parking to boot, my husband & I would definitely recommend a stay here to family & friends. Thank you."

"Parking was easy being right outside the property. A lovely lady called us to check our arrival time as we had booked an evening meal and the last order time was 8pm and she didn't want us to miss out. We had a lovely evening meal, with it being their weekly Pie night it really hit the spot after a long journey! Our room was very spacious and extremely comfortable too. There were lots breakfast options and what we both had was delicious. We will definitely return as this place is a real gem. And being centrally located for visiting family, the Yorkshire dales and the Lake District the location is perfect."

"Staff were kind and friendly. Food was good in the bar but over priced. My room was grubby, the bedding and bathroom were clean but there was dust and dirt on the ledges and windowsills. No shower gel in the bathroom either. I was also above the kitchen there was lots of banging about outside and a constant humming/droning from what sounded like extractor fans. This did stop around 9pm but then started up again at 10pm. It was really quite loud, I could still hear it when I had my headphones in. I was charged twice, payment taken by expedia and by the hotel. I have been advised that the hotel have refunded my payment but nothing showing yet. It is such a shame this beautiful building is being left to deteriorate but not spending money is one thing, there is no excuse for it not being cleaned properly."

"Lovely location near Hexham with stately home vibes and comfortable bedrooms. The bar overlooks the golf course and has lots of nooks and crannies to settle in with a glass of whatever to people watch. The restaurant has a very good menu and the staff are attentive and make sure all is OK with your meal. Breakfast is self serve with full platters of tasty food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

"Yes, very, it is dog friendly in both the bar/restaurant and the rooms."

"Clean rooms and property. Just couldn’t find an iron"

"Whilst I am sure this kind of property appeals to many, it wasn't what we were expecting. We appreciate it is a castle first, then hotel, but we have stayed in plenty of castles that still offered a very good hotel experience. Our room, apparently an upgraded one [we booked a superior kind] was small and very cold. The host promised us a heater, but it never materialised. The rooms have no TV ["because it is a castle"], but still have TV points in the room. Despite the hotels.com description, there is no spa and there is no hot tub, not that that aided our choice in the first place, but putting it out there for others; they don't exist."

"Lovely place to stay room was spacious bed was comfortable even if a little squeaky breakfast was huge and delicious bar meals were lovely and very reasonably priced the staff were all lovely highly recommended "

"Great welcoming place to stay "
