Slaley Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

The room was good the hotel was clean and tidy and the staff were friendly.

We had evening meals at the hotel, however a couple of times it did take quite a time for the food to be delivered.

Plush hotel in vast grounds. Very beautiful (despite the inauthentic neo-Gothic scaffolding appended to some areas being refurbished). Food is of excellent quality reflecting the superbly talented and well-drilled kitchen squad. Front of house waiterage is of high quality too. Subtle and considerate. Evidence of welcome depth of staff training and execution. Thanks all. My only quibble is the food courses in the restaurant are delivered in rather long time intervals which may suit an all-evening family gathering or date night but not necessarily those who wish for a quick in-and-out meal experience. Bar staff were friendly and well-motivated. Good bit of banter too. Good sound insulation in rooms. Bed, duvet and long pillow was superb. Possibly my favourite hotel bed ever, like being enveloped in a firm cloud. Perfect. And a fridge in the room too, a rare treat. I was very happy to stay here and very much looked forward to returning to my room after a hard day touristing.

I took my son on a Golf package as a present for a 16th birthday. We played both golf courses which were immaculate the golfing staff were very helpful and I would really recommend this to anyone. The room was a feature twin which had good views of the golf course and was clean and comfortable. We booked a table at the bistro and as part of the deal, we got £35 each towards food. We both ordered a Medium rare fillet steak Which was not cheap £42. When they both arrived They were blue if not raw. We pointed this out to the waiter who took them back to the kitchen. They came back after 10 minutes and we’re cooked to the right degree however because I had cut into my stick and it had been put back on the grill it was not correctly rested and was a lot tougher than it should’ve been, and it bled in the plate, it did, however taste okay, and I hate it as I did not want to send it back again. I did let my disappointment known to the waiter who called the manager who came for a chat and was only apologetic. To be honest, I expect better when you’re paying such a high price for a good piece of meat.

Countryside location.

Service from the guys in the bar/restaurant .. comfy bed..

The hotel is VERY tired… paint work was terrible due to lack of maintenance. Furniture was all marked and quite dirty… bathroom was disgusting with mold , grout black… food in the 19th hole was really really poor… even the waiter said he wouldn’t serve it if it was up to him… poor show

Enjoyed a four night stay in the Ladywell suite, which is a lovely room with one of the best views in the hotel. It has all the facilities you want in a hotel room. All the staff are friendly and helpful especially Matthew in the restaurant who remembered us from last year. Breakfast was excellent every day. We ate in the restaurant on two evenings and the bar on one evening. Mostly the food was good in the restaurant but didn't like the soft shell crab starter. The salmon main course that my husband had one one night was dry but Matthew sorted this out to our satisfaction.
