Clennell Hall Country House - Near Rothbury - Northumberland

What a strange place! A lovely, old country house, run by a family, who undertake all the roles. We had to go looking for staff sometimes, when needed, but once found very helpful. Very comfortable. Good food at reasonable prices. Fabulous location for walking/cycling (or just enjoying the scenery).

If you can cope with the quirks, this is a lovely hotel

The room was big, clean, and the view was breathtaking. Staff, especially reception and bar staff, very good service.

However, no hot water from shower and bath water is hot only at certain times. The evening meal was awful. Salmon and potato with wilted greens at £17 should have been edible, at least. This was not. Bones in cod fish meal. Noise from other very loud residents at 2am in the morning. Not what you expect from a relaxing cou try retreat. Bar and restaurant area too small and dark. Only a few rables. Stay was not worth the money we paid. We only paid for the room and view.

Room very large and comfortable Large Tv Bar was fantastic with an 80s Night on was really fun Lovely meal Very uninformal Don't go here if your wanting quite Night posh restaurant Its just Fun and Quirky

Bathroom a bit small and toilet seat loose But nothing terrible Breakfast they ran out of eggs in the Countryside 🤣🤣🤣 But we wernt really bothered

The location. Comfortable room altho dated.

Breakfast. Was served smoked bacon and not told ruined our breakfasts and wouldn't change for something else. Very poor. Evening meals too expensive we had to eat out. Sofa ripped at seams and cobwebs in the bathroom on the lights

This is classed as a 3 star hotel, therefore, my grading is based on 3 stars. You will be hard pushed to find better. The building is full of character and the staff are first class. Our short Valentines stay was made more memorable by the staff's hospitality and friendliness. The hotel is located in a beautiful part of Northumberland.

There was nothing to not like about this 3 star hotel.

One member of staff was lovely a young lady

The staff were pleasant, We visited last night as a get away after a stressful xmas. We were left to fend for ourselves, never anyone on reception There was a staff member an older gentleman Sat at the dining table he had been poorly by the looks of it and was falling asleep at a table across from us. It was abit annoying that both the TV and a music station was playing at the same time. As we left the bar to go to our room we almost tripped on the stairs due to I think was a staff or the staff members son leaving a bag and another personal item on the stairs, there was also a smell like a foisty smell from the minute I walked in to the reception. The place was tidy to a degree apart from a section of the bar seemed quite cluttered with paperwork, but didn't seem clean as a professional cleaner myself I noticed this right away. The food was also not worth £15 we had the cheeseburger and as harsh as this sounds a mcdonalds burger is nicer it tasted dry bland over cooked , i don't mean to sound harsh but it just definitely wasn't worth £117 per night We left the same night for that reason and another, due to losing my bank card the payment was unable to come out of my bank at first but full payment has been made to the hotel within a few hours we just won't visit again its sad because the location is beautiful

The location was lovely with countryside views from our windows. The building is beautiful.

Nothing.
