Clennell Hall Country House - Near Rothbury - Northumberland

The room was amazing, so much space! The setting is wonderful,, so quiet and we were lucky enough to be able to see the stars. The staff were friendly, and how refreshing to meet Toni, who loves the place so much she gave us a little guided tour.

Everything was great! From the drive up there to tranquility of the place. I can't remember the name of the person who welcomed us (and did everything else from serving at the bar to breakfast) but she was incredible and very welcoming.

Appealing Country house

This is hostel style accommodation being charged out at punchy price point for a decent quality hotel , which it isn’t . It was grubby , mouldy , smelt , broken furniture , poorly cleaned and furnished from a car boot sale . I couldn’t leave quickly enough and can’t understand how it is even listed in this condition . It had all the ambience of a doss house .

Beautiful location aesthetically . . . looks really peaceful and remote . . . but the drunken bar noise is a shock!

Do not stay here if you want to sleep. There is a bar where loud bands are allowed to play which is just below the rooms. Then after the bands stop playing at 11, people congregate at tables below the bedroom windows talking loudly, drunk, shouting. Then there is the lovely piano in reception where drunken people think it's a good idea to try to play (without success) at 2 am. Do not be fooled by the picture of peace and serenity . . . it is far from it.

Ideal location for our stop during a walking holiday

Nothing springs to mind

Staff were amazing, super friendly and helpful. It did feel under staffed for the size of the property, but Toni and team worked their socks off to make me feel at home. Nice and quiet location.

Fresh coffee at breakfast would have been nice.
