Hardwicke Hall Manor Hotel

We visited our favourite venue today for lunch. Hotel is decorated beautifully with open fire and Christmas tree in the hall . Food was delicious as always , plentiful and hot , staff are so friendly,we are treated as friends, it’s so lovely. As we finished our lunch we were treated to Christmas carols and Christmas songs played by Peterlee brass band and a visit from Santa ! A special start to Christmas week. Thanks again to everyone for making our lunch so special today.

A stopover on the way North to visit some National Trust Properties and this country house hotel fitted the theme of our trip very well. We were in a large room overlooking the side lawn. The room was well furnished and equipped and with a comfortable bed, We dined in the restaurant where the food was good in quality and quantity as well as being reasonable priced. The staff were exceptional and should we find ourselves in this part of the country in needed of a hotel again then this would be our first choice.

We came here for our Grandparents 70th wedding anniversary party and stayed over night. It was amazing! The party was very well staffed with food being brought out promptly and cleared in good time. Staff were all lovely and more than helpful when needed. The green out the front was perfect for the little ones to have a run around and burn off some energy. We had a family room (2 rooms adjoining) and it was great! Lovely and clean, plenty of space for us all, comfy beds! The tea/coffee station was very generously stocked. We’d asked for a few extras (ironing board and iron) and the staff were very happy to help. Breakfast in the morning was great. Quick service and well cooked. All the staff in the morning were lovely and cheerful! Could have easily stayed another night!

If you are ever travelling up North and are looking for a wonderful lunch or rest stop, I implore you to stop here. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and accommodating - one of the wonderful waiting staff brought a sample of the soup of the day for my daughter for her to try before she ordered!! Needless to say we all ordered the soup. It was delicious! It is so nice to receive such attentive customer service in such a beautiful setting. Doggy and children friendly also. The grounds are extensive and have lots to explore for youngsters. Also, the most delicious ice cream sundae menu 😋 Please give it a go. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommended.

Lovely afternoon tea, Yum Yum, with my wife on a Saturday afternoon. Very popular by the number of tables taken up. Staff so friendly and attentive. More than enough to fill your tum and washed down with a glass of presecco in an elegant room, so very Bridgerton Would highly recommend a

Went for a birthday meal with my wife on Wednesday evening. Service was great, food delicious and hot, cannot fault anything at all. The starter was really nice, I enjoyed the beef for main, and my wife had the chicken. The bumpy chocolate pudding was gorgeous. Well done and thank you
