The Duke - North East Escapes

The property and area were great. Perfect for pets as there was an enclosed garden. We would definitely go back.

Everything you could possibly need in a perfect setting. Welcome pack, space, hot tub, comfy beds. Staff easily contactable and provided a fantastic service. Perfect for family and friends getting together. Will definitely be back.

N/A

Excellent facilities Home from home

The Duke was spacious and very well stocked to host 8 people with regards to pots and pans and plates etc, the exterior was very aesthetically pleasing and clean. Beds were clean and plentiful towels. Voucher for tennis was nice the sausages voucher we used and the butchers was delicious. Fire was lovely and ample amount of logs provided. Showers were nice and powerful(but need to see next point) but as it was a wet room your feet get wet if you go to the loo a little later ( even if you did use the squeegee). Plenty parking spaces.

The hottub for a 8 birth apartment was only 4 man, the kitchen looked clean but many dirty dishes at the back of the racks and many of them had hairline cracks, the oven wasn't clean. There are 2 dishwashers which is ideal but you were only supplied 3 tablets for the 3 days which I feel is a little disappointing considering the price, only 2 teatowels and 3 black bags. It was great getting first shower of the day as if you were last to get dressed you had a cold shower. Generally the place could do with a deep clean, under sofas and in-between sofa cushions etc.
