Hotel a Wensley

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

“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.”

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

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

“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! ”

“An independent family run B&B. Very helpful and obliging host. Lovely location”

“From check in to check out the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. In fact, from when you pull into the car park you get the feeling it’s a special place. The building is a beautifully well maintained old building with some rather stunning modern extras. The room we had was spacious and beautifully presented, with a very comfy bed! Spacious bathroom with walk in shower. The bar area, lounge areas, breakfast and dinner room were clean, tidy, and again had that old style feel but with modern...

“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...

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

“We were comfortable in our room but we found it unusual that the cleaning staff weren’t cleaning rooms until very late in the day. So the first day we said just leave our room for today but we do require a few things (TP and coffee). Other than that our room was never refreshed at all. The front of the property had two lovely patio sets however staff had overlooked cleaning them, so we gave them a quick brush off so we could use them. Because we sat out front in the late afternoon we seemed to...

“Personale cortese ed accogliente, parcheggio ampio, poca scelta birre locali, menù discreto, camere confortevoli anche se mancava una scrivania per lavorare, vasca al posto della doccia ”
