“I found the bar area to have a pleasingly traditional feel, contrasting well with the modernised, yet still classic, bedrooms. The showers were particularly impressive, and the staff consistently proved to be welcoming and helpful. The proximity to the River Tees offers a pleasant escape, and the quality of the food makes the journey here well worthwhile.”
