Such a peaceful location with fantastic food.
Locatie en ambiance. Ook het diner was van uitstekende kwaliteit.
Ontbijt kan beter.
personal adorable. Habitación agradable y silenciosa. Jardines muy bonitos. Bar con chiminea
no hay nada que no me gustase
Breakfast good. Location a little off the beaten track but very nice.
I would have liked to have stayed in the main house.
Beautiful spot. Lovely hotel
We had a lovely stay at Eshott Hall,it was our second stay there.Lovely breakfast & dinner.The staff were very welcoming also.😊
Lovely atmosphere friendly staff
A high standard, characterful hotel with excellent friendly staff. Our deluxe twin room was very spacious with a view over the vegetable parterre. The food was freshly cooked and the chef did very well in catering for our vegan diet.
The beds were a little hard for our taste. Our room was above the kitchen and there was a lot of noise from the extractor. This did go off in the evening but did start again around 6 45am.
Breakfast service was a little disorganised.
Very nice and welcoming staff.. dinner was excellent.. rooms were large with old world charm
They did well despite seeming possibly short staffed
Lovely place in q quiet location.Our r
Breakfast was nice but a full continental breakfast would have been nice as an alternative. Especially with a long stay. A bar/ light evening menu would have been helpful too.
The majority of staff were friendly. A few being a little less keen to interact though !
Setting, tranquility, loved the staircase and the stained glass windows. Liked them offering fruit. Very good service.
Beautiful location, gorgeous old house, delicious food
The room was nice and large with a very comfortable bed. The views to the garden were lovely and enjoyed sitting on the window seat reading my book. The shower was great. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Loved the restaurant and compliments should go to the chef - every meal was perfectly cooked. Loved the cosy bar area.
The Hall was probably very grand in its time but is now slightly faded. That being said, the new owners will be refurbishing the hall to a very luxurious standard and look forward to the upgrade. The bath's shower attachment didn't work but no doubt this will be rectified once refurbed.
All good
Everything ! Location is perfect , so quiet and peaceful, beautiful grounds.
Cannot fault it in any way
Very nice stay, some parts of the hotel are a little dated but it was a comfortable stay. Lovely garden which is very well kept too.
Booked this for my fathers 60th, him and the mother had a fantastic time and couldn't have said a bad words about anything regarding the stay, package, staff or venue
Nothing
Das sehr gute Restaurant, das man aber auch braucht, denn es liegt schon sehr abgelegen von allem. Die Gartenanlage drumherum!
Stunning building set in lovely peaceful grounds well away from everything. Yet so accessible to the A1 and everything the North East has to offer.
The bathroom was starting to look and feel a little bit tired in the room but the whole hotel is due to be closed in a matter of weeks for a 7 mo nth refurbishment.
Lovely rooms, luxurious, gorgeous spot, not far off the A1.
Kitchen didn't really get it right. Too fancy, huge meat portions, sweet sauces, potatoes swimming in sweet juice. Clientele seems largely fairly elderly, surely a steak at 10oz is too big to be the only size available? Keeping it simpler would be much better. Food not nearly as good as on previous visit.
Ideal location for nearby attractions. Rooms spacious and lovely bathroom. The cooked breakfast very good. Staff very helpful. Ample car parking.
Towels not changed and very sparing with toiletries. Buffet breakfast poor. Evening meal expensive and poor.
Tiny en ensuite spoilt stay. Whilst dog facilties good - absolute rip-off £30 extra! Hotel will be renovated/refurbed and our room de-commissioned but overall cost of £220 outrageous for a room worse than Premier Inn/Travelldge. Food and surroundings though were good. Such a shame and whilst receptionist at check out had read my note about ensuite did nothing. Very very poor value.
Excellent location and very well maintained grounds. Stayed in one of the seperate buildings which was nice and clean. Room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good (only had the full english though). All round a good stay with no negatives
Bar area is basic
It was very comfortable and spacious
This is an excellent country hotel, about 1.5 miles down a lane from the main a1, it’s quiet and peaceful and although in need of refurbishment, which it’s getting after November this year, is still extremely nice. The rooms are old fashioned but comfortable and warm ( when you work out how to turn the heating on (why don’t they tell you?)): staff are wonderful and the food is excellent. Breakfast is really good with continental and cooked meals, evening meals are brilliant, they seem a little expensive until compared with neighbouring restaurants after checking, but the variety and quality is really exceptional. Service is good, efficient but not over friendly, and exactly as it should be. The extensive grounds provide the perfect backdrop to this hotel. I highly recommend it, but hope that the alterations and extensions starting this November, don’t spoil the experience.
We were travelling onward to Scotland, so this was a great location for us. Also it was lovely and quiet at night- except for the owls- again lovely! Breakfast was alright. Fruit salad was a bit limited and looked like the leftovers on our second morning. The cold meat/cheese didn’t look at all appetizing. And the toaster(do your own toast) took forever. The hot breakfast was a bit limited. And on the second morning it was set on a cold plate- a real no-no!My room was in the separate building- The Grange. Nice room, comfy bed and good pillows. The bath had a big rainfall shower but the doors didn’t fit well and were quite grimy. The hospitality tray was ok but no hot chocolate (had to ask). The room could have done with a fridge for fresh milk. Easy to park.
The hotel has been sold and will be closed from November 2025 to May 2026 and so it seems that things are being left rather than fixed.
Beautiful grounds and house in lovely rural location. Very dog friendly.
Nothing
Location was good for exploring Northumberland and Scottish Borders. Lovely grounds in a picturesque setting.
Property is tired and is about to be re-structured by new owners. We were here two years ago and it’s a completely different atmosphere . Food prepared by the chef was excellent, however the continental breakfast was extremely poorly presented.
Location, gardens, welcoming staff, style of property Standard of food was good and cooked to request . The grounds are very well maintained. Great location for visiting Northumberland.
Room overall was shabby and dirty . Room serviced but not cleaned during stay so by day 4 the bathroom was dirty . Had to track down extra toiletries as not automatically replaced . The beer glass from day 2 stayed with us all stay ! As did the dead spider on the curtain. Not black out and lights from other rooms shone in all night . The green exit light annoying . The ancient hairdryer was glowing bright orange/red when on, dangerous.
Property was pleasant but tired and in need of the forthcoming refurb.
A bit tired
Our room was in an annex so a walk to the main hotel in the rain
Very peaceful location. Spacious accommodation. Friendly staff. Beautifully kept grounds. Homely feel. Great breakfast.
Nothing to say
Lovely setting with beautiful gardens. Friendly and helpful staff and comfortable rooms.
The hotel is dog friendly, our room had had furry friends in it quite a bit
Schönes Herrenhaus in herrlichem Parkgelände
Nichts
The hall is set in natural surroundings and is architecturally beautiful. The breakfast was good and the dinner was excellent.
Stayed in one of the other buildings on the estate but wish I had stayed in the main house.
Lovely period house and great location
Nothing
Peaceful, comfortable and staff were excellent
Individual rooms, walled garden
What an amazing stay. Incredible food and drinks and fantastic, helpful staff. just great!!
Everything was fine!!
Grounds exceptionally well kept, wonderful flowers and mature trees. Interior decoration, original ceilings and other features, lots of top quality paintings, plenty of comfortable chairs. Restaurant food very good, staff friendly,.our room 9 was excellent .
Doggy smell in the lounge. Poorly stocked bar. No fans available, not the best standard of service for our requests, no loo brush in bathroom! No explanation for being overcharged in restaurant, and unaware there was a 10 per cent gratuity, overcharge was refunded, when we checked out. Thought wine prices were sky high.
Perfect location Lovely grounds Will be fantastic after upgrades Great staff in dining room
Breakfast was good, bed was comfortable, room was nice.
Location and grounds were very nice.
Room, especially the bathroom, was very poor. Access to the room via a very steep staircase was downright dangerous and probably in contravention of regulations. Evening meal was very very average and very poor value.
Beautiful property, great location & fantastic staff.
Nothing
The building itself, cream tea (the scones and the jam were excellent)
In need of a refurb and redesign, from the reception to the dining room. No real vibe, food was mediocre at best - very average dinner cooked to a poor standard, breakfast akin to what you experience in Premier Inn rather than a luxury hotel. No effort on staff part either. No offer of help with the luggage. And to top it up, 5 minutes after our check-in for a one night stay an email arrives prompting you to submit all your details and get ready to depart. All-in-all, don't expect much from this hotel.
Lovely setting
Our room was quite cold as heating cut out too soon in the evening.
Cleanliness, space and ambience
Na
Beautiful grounds. Friendly staff
Stables rooms a bit dated
Loved the setting. Beautiful grounds. Walled vegetable garden very well cared for. Junior staff very willing to help. Huge potential as a wonderful hotel.
Very tired building . Room very hot and noone had bothered to open any windows or pull down blinds on an extremely hot day. The receptionist, eventually when I went down twenty minutes later to check where it was, said there were no fans. She didn’t ring me. Bed uncomfortable and shower only gave out a small spray of water. Food mediocre, rather fatty with few vegetables. My salad was made up of rocket and unripe tomatoes. Junior staff need more training as having delivered the sourdough toast at breakfast , we asked him for more butter and he took away the pot containing what butter we had leaving us with nothing to spread on the rapidly cooling toast!! The whole set up needs the planned refurb urgently.
The old character of the Hall , Rooms and grounds were just as advertised.
Nothing
Nothing really
We stayed for 2 nights in a 'superior' room, there was nothing superior about it. The room was dirty, dusty and the furniture was worn and chipped. There were large cobwebs in the corners of the ceilings with spiders visible, dead wasps and flies along the dirty windowsill. There was a thick layer of dust along the mirror of the dressing table that clearly hadn't been touched for a while, and the drawers were dusty inside it. There was a hairdryer that didn't have a nozzle on the end of it in the dusty, smelly wardrobe (that had a mish mash of coat hangers). I would NOT hang my clothes in there! I asked about replacing the hairdryer or at least if I could have a nozzle to put on the end and was told they didn't have any or any spare hair dryers! The carpet was stained, and the seat cushion under the grubby window was stained and dirty. We did not realise that we would not have a shower in the bathroom but just a bath at the bottom of the bed! I asked if we could have a room with a shower instead and was told no. During the night several times, we were woken by an intermittent buzzing/humming noise. I'm not sure if it was a washing machine, but it was loud and disturbed our sleep massively. Breakfast was ok, not great, and the tables were not set properly, we had to take butter off another table as none on ours and no staff around to ask. No 'do not disturb' signs in the room. On our first morning, I left the curtains closed to keep out the hot sun and to keep the room cool. When we returned to our room later in the evening from being out all day, the curtains had been opened, and our room was boiling hot! We only realised when we were there that the hotel is being revamped in a couple of months but the cleanliness of our room etc has nothing to do with this. This is definitely not a 4* hotel and we could not wait to check out and I would not recommend.
Location
Facilities could be better
sehr, sehr gute Küche, das Dinner war hervorragend, das Frühstück sehr ausgewogen und reichhaltig, keine Wünsche sind offen geblieben. die Zimmer sind geschmackvoll und sehr gut eingerichtet, das Gelände ist sehr gepflegt und lädt zum Verweilen ein. das ganze Hotel, innen und außen, hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
das Personal zum Dinner hätte aufmerksamer sein könne (insbesondere Nachschenken beim Wein)
De plaats van het hotel.
Waterdruk uit de douche en best gehorige kamers
Ontbijt was beneden verwachting. De staf oogde weinig gemotiveerd.
Enthousiasme van de staf.
Escott Hall was a standout on my UK trip, offering the largest and most comfortable room I stayed in. The beautiful historic estate with serene garden grounds made for a truly relaxing escape. Its isolated location provided peace and quiet, perfect for unwinding.
While there’s no elevator and breakfast could use some improvement, the overall experience and setting were unforgettable.
Location was beautiful
We were accommodated in an out building and not the main hotel which was very dated with dirty carpets.never again
The location is magnificent, the staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, the garden is lovely
The bed is too small for two big people, the food is disappointing, the coffee should be served at prison, the toilet was dripping
El sitio es precioso y el edificio principal muy bonito, parece de película. El césped, las flores, la vegetación... todo está muy cuidado. También nos gustó el desayuno.
El hotel consta de un edificio principal, muy bonito y varios edificios separados. A nosotros nos tocó en el edificio de la granja. No me gustó la habitación en la que estuvimos, estaba muy descuidada. La moqueta estaba llena de manchas, la tapicería de las sillas igual, daba un poco de grima y no nos hizo sentir cómodos, además olía a humedad. El baño era espacioso y tenía ducha adaptada para personas con movilidad reducida pero había bichos. En fin, fue una decepción porque el sitio debería ser para disfrutarlo.
Location and the building/grounds
A little dated and tired in the bedrooms - furniture
The food is excellent and I think pretty good value for money. The service was good as well
The room was not good. We stayed in the annex "The Grange". The room was an adequate size but the shower room was far too small. The basin was the smallest I have ever seen and the lavatory did not flush as well as it should have. I have been in bigger bathrooms in a Travelodge. It is pretty obvious that the owners are concentrating on the wedding market and know that most guests who would be staying opver after a wedding are not going to be as worried about such things, having enjoyed the wedding, perhaps a little too much.
Friendly and professional service throughout our stay.
The hotel is tired and needs a refit whilst still retaining it's character.
Beautiful old house, great staff! Gorgeous food.
Bedroom was quite small.
Dining was good but a little on expensive side compared to similar accommodation in the region.
The rural ambience and mix of modern and traditional aspects. Very good service and a notable restaurant experience. Not our first visit and we will return when we can.
Ruhig gelegenes sehr individuelles Hotel
Nice setting and residence
Fijn bed, heel schoon, heel vriendelijk personeel in zowel bediening als schoonmaak. Prachtige tuin en mooie omgeving. Ik vond flesjes water en koekjes in kamer ook erg leuk:)
We zaten in de lodge beneden en die was redelijk donker. Ik miste (meer) daglicht. Verder ruime kamer met fijne douche. En ik miste haakjes waar je wat aan kan ophangen.
Needs a little make over.. Furniture is tired
Kettle woukdnt fit in bathroom sink to fill.. Coffee wasn't very tastefull
Beautiful place, with immaculate grounds. Really well thought out for dog owners
We were very pleased to be able to get an early (0700) continental breakfast. The food for dinner was very good.
Nothing
Character and staff
Staff were great. Lovely setting. Tops marks to the Gardiner... no weeds anywhere and the garden looked very tidy.
Quite a difference between the quality of the two rooms we had.
Choices at breakfast were excellent and freshly cooked to perfection. We took our dog with us and they're not allowed in the dining room so the staff laid a table for us in the bar. The location is very quiet and secluded.
Nothing really.
Our room was very dusty. Furniture old, tatty and mismatched. Bed was very lumpy and uncomfortable. Stains on bedding. Bathroom not clean and we complained about toilet which was black from water line down. This was cleaned later. Food basic often running out of poor buffet breakfast. Definitely not worth the money we spent. Bar was not manned we had to find someone to serve us. No information book in our room and receptionist miserable. Would not recommend and will not return.
The rooms were cleaned regular. The staff went above the call of duty to accommodate us. I will be staying here again.
