Very poor VFM. Underwhelming experience.

Our high expectations for this place, following the widely reported £20m refurb in 2023, were dashed sadly. No room in the customer car park on arrival. Offered a complimentary rum punch that had never had a sniff of the rum bottle. Annex room was small & unremarkable. Room condition was fine except that both bedside lights needed new bulbs, the hairdryer was missing and there were hairs on the shower wall. Eugh. Contacting reception to rectify these issues was not straightforward. Spa facilities were good. Bar service: inattentive but friendly. Dinner: waited almost an hour for starters. Then they brought out the wrong main course. To Mark's credit he immediately removed the wine from our bill by way of an apology and managed to get the correct main course served more quickly than expected. Food was good. Served the wrong red wine. Breakfast: chaotic service. Was brought the wrong order 3 times while other tables around us waited endlessly for theirs. Asked for a flat white coffee and it was made clear by the waitress that this was an awkward request "because we're very busy". Eventually she brought a cappuccino. Hmm. The toast we ordered never appeared. Staff are mostly friendly and well intentioned but seem disorganised and insufficiently well trained. On checkout they didn't bother to ask about our stay or experience. I asked for the GM's name which didn't even provoke the question of why I wanted it. We spent £440 for this 1 night stay including dinner. Won't be back.

After staying at Matfen Hall for an anniversary trip, our experience had its positives and negatives. I thought the room was excellent, spacious, clean and comfortable throughout the evening. The service and breakfast was great , staff very friendly and polite. The breakfast tasted amazing. Unfortunately they were some negatives to our stay. I felt the cleanliness of the spa was poor especially in the steam room and sauna as around the drainage areas were unclean and seemed to not have a great smell. Our expectations of the spa were quite high and it was a shame that we failed to relax around the pool area due to kids screaming constantly and the couples didn’t seem considerate of others around. Additionally, upon on checking in we felt that we would be showed around a little bit more of the facilities from the staff as we struggled to find certain facilities. We constantly had to ring reception to ask questions as we were oblivious to where things were and timings of certain things I.e menus times, checkout times etc. Overall staff were friendly and we did have some positives but were just disappointed with a few areas.

The property is absolutely stunning, the team there provided beyond 5* service and made my parents feel like royalty. The room was gorgeous, the bar was fantasy and visit The Keeper restaurant for a more relaxed evening which was excellent. Thank you to the team for making the pre Christmas break so fabulous!

Great hotel, disappointing experience.

The hotel was beautiful and the staff welcoming. We were taking part in the great north run so the staff opened breakfast up one hour early which we appreciated as it meant we could leave with our bellies full. The only negative to our stay was that my fiancé had planned on proposing at the hotel and apparently had it all organised with the venue. However, the day before they called to say he wouldn’t be able to go ahead with the planned engagement and so he scrambled to find a different location on our way down. He told me afterwards about the stress this caused (understandable) so that was a shame.

Beautiful and comfortable country house hotel

Our stay here was wonderful . We were at first offered a room which was stiflingly hot . (It was a hot muggy day ). As result we requested a cooler room and this was done with no fuss . The new room was much cooler . It was spacious with a large comfortable bed and a very well appointed bathroom and lovely view across the golf course. Highly recommend and reasonable value considering the amenities.
