Surprisingly good accommodation here at this hotel.. on the same site as a Bannatynes gym and pool which also serves some food and close to other restaurants and bars .. it actually has a bar and the room was pretty decent overall for a very good price .. would recommend

The bed was lovely, comfortable and big.
The shower was superb, defo a highlight.
Was gutted that our tea/coffee wasnt replenished so we could have a cuppa before we left (stayed for 2 nights).
Room was a great size.
Would have liked some more spa essentials in the bathroom such as moisturiser, thought that would have been a nice accompaniment for the stay. There was shampoo/conditioner and body wash in the shower.
Overall was a good stay, in a good location for a wedding we were attending.

Staff were very polite and welcoming. Only downside, if you wanted breakfast you had to walk across the carpark to the next building for dining.

Caught out by the fact that the spa was 100yds from the hotel. Very basic serivce and breakfast at the spa. No complaint given the price
3.0 / 10.0
Very basic hotel, requiring refurbishment. The main problem: they offer brekfast using a Gym structure 50-100m away out of the parking. This structure is not suitable for food and the breakfast is very poor and NOT cheap. Apart from this, there is no agreement with the hotel and you have to sign a book each time you enter. Sure I'll NOT came back.

Two night stay rooms were very nice clean.food in the health spa wasn’t great so ate out rather than on site

Stayed when there was snow and sub zero temperatures, electric heater in the room did not work, advised reception after first night, this was still not repaired after my 3rd night. Checked out voiced how terrible service was, got an apology but no discount for the premium room I’d booked and paid for. Will definitely not visit again and will steer clear of all Bannatyne hotels in the future.

Lovely rooms in excellent decorative condition and friendly front desk staff. Quiet location but close to city. Downside is the dining option. The only walking distance option is the restaurant in the adjoining leisure centre. More cafe than restaurant and everything from the microwave. It was ok but no more than that. We would stay again but as the room was so lovely but eat elsewhere

The booking had been cancelled due to an error, but they were able to find a room. The hotel was fully booked, really noisy and insulation was poor.
I was blocked in the car park by another resident and the staff were reluctant to help saying it may not be a resident. When i threatened to call the police, they checked and asked the resident to move the car. Given the parking was visible from the desk, i am surprised it was allowed.

Functional. Property atmosphere was flat . Staff were friendly. Couldn’t get my devices to connect to the TV even with leads. As a travelling businessman little bits at the end of a long day count. Was told there were only bar snacks in the gym. Went out in to Durham. Didn’t need to. Found out they had basic food just wrong info given. Didn’t want the 90 mins messing around finding somewhere.

Very tired room in need or refurbishment. No services to speak of in hotel, you have to go to the spa for food and drink which we weren't informed of and if yhave an earstarton a weekend the spa isnopen so you can't get anything. We also weren't informed that we had to put a sign on the door for the room to be serviced. Rooms are exceptionally warm and there is no air-conditioning.

Looking at the property it looks great but it's not !.
If they put you in a back room you won't sleep simply because it backs onto the A1 M.
If your not on the top floor and facing the car park then good luck with sleeping .
If your on the two lower floors people are walking about all the time the walls are thin and I was told by a local the hotel is used as a knocking shop for men seeking extras.
Be careful.
I went to have something to eat at the spar and I was creating by a very ignorant woman with a real attitude problem it was like she really didn't want to be there .
To be honest I was glad I was setting off early the next morning with the noise of the A1M keeping me awake.
Good luck with this hotel.
And with this one it's a wolf in sheep's clothing .

Tired no atmosphere felt more like an Accor chain and European feel
5.0 / 10.0
Comfortable, clean, all in good repair. A no frills sort of hotel with more facilities in the spa opposite the hotel. Didn't use the spa facilities so can't comment on those, but did get food there. All I'm going to say on the food is that it was cheap and the quality reflected the price.
The staff were uniformly polite, helpful and friendly, definitely the high point of experience. Overall it was pretty good.

Shower room door didn't open so you just mannaged to get through.
Extractor fan in the shower room made a loud buzzing noise when automatically activated, which disrupted our sleep.
Reported these faults to reception desk.

For the price we paid i expected alot better.

When we walked into the room we were greeted by this overwhelming moldy smell. We opened the windows and turned on the heat and tried to air out the room. There was hair in the shower and the flat surfaces were dirty. The bed was comfortable. There was not a microwave or fridge but they had conditioner for my hair :). The "restaurant" is just a place they heat up frozen food. We did not enjoy our meal. The staff was very nice.

Tired overall. Advertised with pool however pool has to be paid for separately.unless youve booked direct (outside hotels.com). No restaurant in the hotel
6.0 / 10.0
Very basic room, no fridge, smart tv which was old and didn’t actually do anything smart, freeview only, cheap toilet roll, no breakfast facilities in the hotel, you have to go to the spa and food wasn’t great. Buses never arrive when you expect them though I appreciate this is not the hotels issue. The hotel said there was a welcome pack, there wasn’t.

Very comfy bed and an overall great experience
