Cbh Hardwick Hall Hotel

Very nice service And stzy and good food

We enjoyed our stay, the location of our room was good. The only few niggles that we had, was that although the room was clean, it smelt a little bit smokey, it was too hot, we tried turning the radiator down a little but it wouldn't stay down, we did open the window, and the pillows were too hard for me. But for the 1 night we stayed it was ok.

More like a club 18-30 experience. The hotel was fantastic, food excellent and staff went way, way beyond. However, the main function of a hotel is to have somewhere to sleep. The hotel had two weddings on the night of my stay and between 12:45 and 14:30 I was unable to sleep for the screaming, laughing, partying that was going on throughout the corridors. I never heard any staff trying to resolve the situation, just plenty of noise. I had to pay £20 surcharge for my dogs to stay and they were not allowed In the restaurant - which is very reasonable, but have to say that they were better behaved that the other animals who were not required to pay any surcharge or not required to follow any basic behavioural rules. On checkout, I was not even asked if I had a pleasant stay. I assume the staff did not want confirmation of their mismanagement. If this is the sort of establishment used but Trip.com, then I can only say first impressions go a long way and I will stick to other hotel brokers in future.

Lovely hotel just a little busy with weddings at the moment. Went in for breakfast on Sunday morning no orange juice, only one slice of brown bread. Ordered our breakfast and after 45 mins told there was no eggs - gave up at that point. That said location was perfect for North East attractions (had a great day in Beamish). Our bedroom was large and comfy. Excellent food on Friday and Saturday evening - just let down by the breakfast!.
