Hotel a Carlton

“Really lovely hotel. Very large comfy bed. Big fluffy towels. Excellent breakfast. Very dog friendly. Close to Barnard Castle and Bowes Museum”

“Everything done to a very high standard. Wonderful setting and food quality 2nd to none ”

“Room was compact but comfortable, the bed especially comfortable. Best in room coffee ever! TV was impossible to sort out, HUGE but useless. A leak from toilet cabinet meant floor was wet most of the time, and was reported to manager, I'm sure it'll be fixed for next people. Pub is oozing with atmosphere, food is excellent. Staff are great. Somebody could pick up litter outside once in a while to improve the look.”

“Room was clean, as was bathroom, though the latter could do with modernisation. Food was fine - all in all, did the job and good value”

“A warm welcome from all staff for us ( & our Dalmatian who was spoilt rotten!). Food superb and room clean & cosy. Easy beautiful walks on the doorstep. Perfect! ”

“The Hotel has a lot of character and is in a beautiful location in the Dales. We watched lambs playing in the field as we had breakfast. There are great walks on to the Dales or down to the river from the front door. The staff were very friendly, and we had a lovely restful stay.”

“Excellent location and views. Friendly staff .”

“An incredible spot, fabulous breakfast and a friendly team there to offer any help they can to make your time away amazing! Highly recommend. ”

“A stay over at The Tan Hills Inn was on our bucket list. Boxed ticked and it certainly didn’t disappoint.”

“What a terrific spot! The bar was comfy, and cosy; the room clean, and tastefully decorated with a comfy bed, and wonderful view of the viaduct and Whernside. And, the fish & chips - exceptional! For us, the staff made our stay, Will, Courtney, Angela, & Val, couldn't do enough for us, despite a very busy bank holiday weekend. Thank you, we had a great evening and a cracking breakfast to boot.”

“clean tidy well kept room food was very good staff polite well mannered made to feel welcome i would stay there again ”

“A really good location to stop overnight and very happy with the room. Breakfast was delivered in a hamper box outside our room and was rather disappointing. No egg/cold meats option. The main option was oats with fruit. We ordered with banana and strawberry. Tiny amount of strawberry and the banana slices were dried and chewy. But the evening meal was good honest pub grub.”

“A lovely hotel situated in a wonderful location. Staff very attentive, everything was 1st class and as for Peter Smith he played a blinder! We will be back. ”

“Fantastic location next to the cathedral with grounds and parking. It's a beautiful very old building but some of the decor is tired. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is a set menu served in two parts, first part is continental style which was lovely, the second part was more traditional English breakfast which had real potential however it was spoiled as the sausage was overcooked and dry, but the bacon was murdered and just shattered as it was extremely overdone, inedible...

“The hotel and lake setting is beautiful. The spa is too expensive when you are limited to only two hours when it is extremely quiet.”
