Beautiful setting. Made more special with the Fallow deer in the park opposite the hotel. We took a drink, bought some deer food and sat in the park.The deer are at peace with us and it is just so calming. There is a lake here too and it is just so lovely walking around. If u have children there is a small park area. Staff are pleasant, food was nice and weather definitely helped towards a lovely first stay at Whitworth. We were in room 22 which maybe needs to be updated in the not too distant future. Collapse

The hotel looks great from the outside. But : I was in room 24, it was quite dark to start with, I noticed the radiator under the window is only just hanging on, the screws have pulled out leaving a big hole in the wall and therefore its very loose. Don't sit on it even though its under a nice big window with no views much. The wardrobe doors are so out of sqaure they are catching and need a good pull to open. Bathroom was a bit dated in my opinion, but functional so I suppose its OK. They have a maintenance ticket on the door for guests to fill in, but they should check not me. I went for a beer and had to wait about 10 minutes until someone turned up to serve me! I had booked a table for 7.00 at reception, and turned up 5 minutes early noticed the sheet had me down for 7.30, how hard is it to listen to what a customer wants. but they put me in as there were only a couple of others in there. I had fish and chips in the library (yes thats a nice room) but the battered fish was cooked from frozen and the batter was soggy, the quality of the fish was not good either and at £15.50 I would have expected better quality food, the chips tasted like yesterdays. A pint of guinness had a 1inch head and should have been topped up a bit, but I got an excuse "its not pouring well tonight?" So not a great experience. It was not busy but the staff seemed to think they were rushed off their feet. Another couple were given a steak night menu but it was a pie night last night, shame I was never even offered the special pie menu so what kind of service was that. Slept OK duvet a bit thin, but heating was on all night so OK. For breakfast I asked for 2 fried eggs with toast, and just 1 sausage and 1 rasher of bacon. I only got 1 egg first time and no toast. the second egg came later and the toast came even later. Same comment as before. Try listening to your customers please, we only want simple things that we ask for. I should have complained this morning but after the experience I just could be bothered. Consequently I will never stay there again. This is soley based on my stay there last night, perhaps its just me and remember its my opinion only. But as I said Its not for me and I wont be back. Sorry not a delighted customer. Collapse

This is a lovely hotel, set in beautiful grounds. There is a Deer Park - with many, many deer happily feeding from your hand! Also a lovely lake and Church. The hotel is well appointed - decor and facilities are excellent. Our room was very comfortable and all the staff we met were helpful and welcoming. Our only criticism was the menu in the dining room - it was a little uninteresting and the food, while perfectly acceptable was not as good as expected from the pictures on the website and the prices! The wine, however was very good value. We were also disappointed that there was not a Brasserie menu. All in all - we would recommend the hotel and I hope we will find time to return. Collapse

I needed a hotel to stay in after watching my team, Darlington FC beat Spennymoor 2-1 away, and chose this. Having parked up immediately over a low stone wall in front of Reception entrance was a herd of deer, very tame, could walk right up them, a great start to my visit. Not that impressive a reception area and I had to walk through the bar to my bedroom, but the carpets in the corridor and bedroom were plush, the standard of a 5 star hotel. Very well equip bathroom nicely decorated, sizeable bedroom and a comfy bed. Public rooms included a lovely conservatory and the restaurant looked nice from a distance. I only had a sarnie in the evening and no breakfast but from purely an accommodation perspective I will return if ever I need to stay in the area again Collapse
