one bed missing for one of the kids and lack of shampoo.

sofa bed for kids bed was very hard.

a long journey i was hoping for a menu to suit kids and adults/ home cooked food and comfy bar area, there was

amazing wallpaper decorates each room spacious room, the kids had a blast with a corner bath

the room fit four of us (2 adults, 2 kids (14, 11)) comfortably

children are allowed in the pool would have been useful as it was not a relaxing environment with kids

was 2 singles pushed together , far too expensive but as a parent we needed that break from the kids to have a

t feel hugely amenable to kids, pool is definitely more for adults and kids felt frowned upon

guests were sniffy when the kids were loud playing in the pool but that's to be expected with older swimmers

great location and a fantastic family room that the kids loved

little bar, room was decent enough just very squeaky floors and bed, and noise of kids outside wasn t the best

wifi was intermittent

more like a small apartment with sitting area and kitchen facilities

great location, very good wifi and great hot water

lovely bar downstairs with great cocktails, and the manager is a lovely chap

the menu did not present healthy options for kids so we only ate in the hotel one evening.

kids loved the pool & the room was a very good size.

one in the bedroom section and one in the living room section which was perfect for us as the kids could watch

the kids used the on-site pool (free) and enjoyed themselves

grand kids dessert was not as described, brought it then asked if we need a spoon

after finding one i was told the cleaner never showed up and the bar staff was left to clean all the rooms

centrally located, great staff, cheap bar downstairs

reception and bar staff were good

place, nice bar and excellent staff

the owner who showed us to our room was friendly and kind, the bar also looked great

staff great with kids

they were great with the kids and were generally very flexible and helpful

was lovley and comfortable, kids loved it

the wifi signal not very strong, cold bathroom (no double glazing)

wifi access

very noisy guests younger kids banging doors constantly through the night

breakfast and additional facilities are in the other locations and while you are with a small kids running out

food is good but trying to eat and have a pint when people in gym kit and kids are running around isn t great

i d recommend this hotel any day especially if travelling with kids

pool is only avaialble for guests at the same time as public so dont go and plan on taking kids in the morning

kids running around in the bar area

kids running past nocking on door and running away from 6

most of the staff just kids, no conversation or manners though the older ones

didn t like the fact that there was a kids party on when we were in bar having a quite drink trying to any

team were lovely - great with the kids (and the dog

kids without bottles

breakfast was very simple- the kids were happy but we would have liked a wider choice

it was dirty, mouldy and i didn't feel comfortable having my kids stay there.

value for money a kids breakfast bag of fruit (apple or banana) kids yoghurt and a bottle of orange or apple

the tv wasn t special but again the wifi worked a treat

pool times for kids was poor

charged extra for kids breakfast

just young kids

not relaxing as kids swimming lessons taking place

lovely place to stay for a get away for myself & my husband for our birthdays without the kids

kids menur could be a lot better

screaming kids running up & down the corridors, slamming doors

receptionist lady margaret and the lady who serves breakfast were wonderful and so friendly

separate section with single beds for the kids which was great for everyone

having to leave. the kids wanted to live there.

family room actually had a separate room with door for kids which was excellent

a small issue with the second tv in bedroom 2 but didn t cause a problem with the kids

the kids i was with couldn t use it

room was huge, with separate space for kids

was a bit too warm and didn t fancy opening the balcony doors through the night when we had the kids

room was very spacious for the kids to wonder around and have their own space

room was great, large bed for adults and split separate space for 2 single beds where kids stayed

were kids running all around in the corridors down the stairs knocking on doors

kids pizza is huge, i feel maybe chef could make smaller pizzas for the kids, as there was a lot

a lovely little get away (from the kids) for us

i stayed in the phoenix room which was amazing, the huge spa bath was incredible

breakfast bacon, eggs and mushrooms again cooked to perfection

plus there was plenty of parking on site

one room turned into a very small fitness suite to de stress from kids or keep up with fitness if away for work

staff are great and even gave the kids the time of day

our room was big and the sofa bed was perfect for kids. tasty breakfast

i hadn t realised that kids ate for free so that was a lovely surprise

the room was lovely mattress a bit hard for me and my partner but kids were fine with it personal preference

the best but i dont mind it overall its in a quiet area really good place to stay and take your kids to

good parking

spacious bedrooms and wifi was good

the little touches like leaving a chocolate bar and bottled water made it a lot more personable than other

wifi would ve been welcome (but with the overall price being so low not a big problem) and a plug

property was just what we needed. a night off from the kids and some peace and quiet.

of free parking, clean room, comfortable bed

really enjoyed my stay, got room service, used hot tub and felt nice & relaxed after my stay

of free parking, nice clean room, comfortably bed

i was in a limited view (cheaper) room which overlooked the kitchen and although there was a constant

every night there was a prom / kids party but to be fair music and noise stopped around

great service the stables restaurant and bar was amazing, food was top class as was the service

the initial room we were allocated. no view, over the back of the kitchen.

the room, staff, room service were excellent

room service and the food was fantastic, really enjoyed it

little gem, spacious room that accommodated family with 3 kids

next to historic escomb church, very convenient by car to bishop auckland centre and with on-site parking

bar prices was good lower than expected

a good choice aswell drinks the room was so comfortable and clean and very cosy and modern free parking on site

wifi and tv reception was poor due to low location of property

fabulous outdoor eating and drinking areas perfect to relax in sunshine with amazing kids play facilities

was a get away from the kids

are lovely & would be perfect for families as there looked to be a very nice play area for kids

breakfast was pretty good too

a delicious breakfast was included all for an absolute bargain price

we were shattered after a 9 hour drive and kept awake by the school kids and then the cars turning up to collect

i travelled with my 3yo and is was ideal, deluxe room had plenty of space and the kids menu in the bar was spot

location great, right on the park and large bath tub, great for the kids.

ample parking

didn't dislike anything .would be nice to have a swimming pool.

we had an evening meal which was very nice (good kids menu aswell) and the breakfast was excellent, plenty of

menu choices could have been better strong smelling lillie's in bar area off putting

the adjacen 9 hole golf course & driving range were a bonus

convenient for dog owners with direct access to outside via a patio door from your room, vehicle parking space

which was also undercover bar and restaurant really good staff were all lovely and helpful try room service damn

it wouldn't put me off visiting again but would probably avoid xmas time if bringing kids

food was amazing would definitely recommend the women were absolutely amazing with our 3 young kids

had kids running up and down the corridor and shouting on until bout 10pm as there had been a function

definitely recommend for all people especially with kids

noise, kids running around the corridors at night, bathroom very old and needs updating and draft coming

no food, no kitchen on that night but italian restaurant next door was good

also the wifi signal can t reach to the

very enjoyable stay. good bar food, with friendly staff, comfortable bar/ lounge area.

poor kitchen staff rushed off there feet.

parking difficult, but manager kindly moved his car to that we could park

given that we spent a bit of time between rooms checking on the kids, and trying to shower etc, it didn't feel

the breakfast was top notch too

place but improvements on wifi hanging facilities in bathroom, and maybe chairs in room, more power in shower

the only thing that lets it down is the poor wifi.

great location, bar and staff.

adele cooked us a lovely breakfast and even made pancakes for the kids

staff was polite to serve when kids wanted additional sausages than what was ordered

the gathering of the kids was not an issue, just the engine noises

even the kids enjoyed the atmosphere

our room was on the front and had a sea view (which was wonderful even on a dull day) plenty of parking

very spacious, the kids loved the space

an old sock and kids lunchable packet under the sofa bed

spa swimming pool shouldn t be full of small kids screaming and jumping in and throwing things around

the jacuzzi bath was a big hit with the kids

negative was spa small and pool full of kids

little bit of a problem finding a lounger around the pool, with many people leaving towels and/or robes on

the spa is so relaxing, and the recently added heated outdoor infinity pool is unbelievable on a cold

the spa was fabulous and so was the food

small-medium size gym with everything we needed

one evening we asked for room service and food came after an hour and very cold, the reason i didn t return

last time i stayed here treatments were optional but still enjoyed my stay night away from the kids with the

did not have a separate option for kids breakfast. paying the same for all did not make sense.

we asked if there was anything they can do early for us, even a banana for the kids would've sufficed

staff accommodated a 45 minute early check in - albeit reluctantly

safe parking

room was immaculate and had so many added extras including some sweets on the beds for the kids

i had read about that in a previous review and brought a sound machine with us so that my kids could sleep

very helpful on our arrival, i found it hard at 65 with suit case etc, not being able to leave kids alone,

the bath water was fine and my kids could take baths, but neither my husband or i were able to shower because
