The hotel has a stunning building and location, creating a beautiful atmosphere. While the restaurant serves excellent food, I found the service to be lacking during my visit, especially at the spa, which was disappointing due to cleanliness issues. The staff were friendly but seemed overwhelmed, which affected the overall experience. Despite the potential, I left feeling that the establishment needs to focus on maintaining standards and improving service to truly reflect its luxurious offerings.

I had a lovely weekend break at this hotel, with beautiful grounds and charming rooms. The dining experience was exceptional, particularly the dinner and breakfast options. However, there were issues with the gas supply affecting our first night's supper and the breakfast bacon being cold, which was disappointing given the high price point. Overall, the spa facilities and attentive staff made up for some of these inconveniences, but I feel there should have been compensation for the inconvenience we experienced.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, close to Alnwick and Berwick, and the historical architecture of the hall is truly impressive. The room I stayed in was luxurious and spacious, which I really enjoyed. However, the customer service left much to be desired, as I had to actively seek assistance multiple times, which was frustrating. Overall, while the hotel has a lot of potential with its great amenities, the service definitely needs improvement.
