Matfen Hall  

Total relaxation in comfortable surroundings. Excellent leisure facilities

Restaurant expensive. It would have to be nice to have had more choice of eaterres

A very enjoyable stay at the Hall. Staff were very friendly. Spa treatment was wonderful. Food at dinner time was fantastic. Breakfast was just as good and the waitress very helpful.

The only disappointment was that they automatically placed a charge to thier registered charity onto my account (before settling bill) without first notifying me. I am happy to give to charity particularly if the question had been asked upon checking out. However to assume that people will pay without any explanation (or request) is very rude.

The food was excellent and the staff were very helpful. No complaints at all and we would stay there again. It s a nice relaxing atmosphere and the pool and spa are excellent.

Tasteful, beautiful environment - excellent and discreet service.

the ambiance, and place itself is fantastic. Clean, beautifully presented, romantic old fashioned rooms well matched with contemporary modern facilities and bedrooms. Staff superb, breakfast tasty, fantastic value for money for what I paid and what was available.

just the price of drinks in the bar, but this was not unexpected

Fabulous hotel. Nothing to complain, just praise :)

Coziness of room and good sized swimming pool

Everything about the hotel was top quality cant wait to return.

The only thing negative that I can say about hotel was the food was only average.

Our week-end trip to Newcastle City was made truly delightful because of our stay at Matfen Hall. The grounds at Matfen are stunning. We were made to feel welcome. Our room decor was 1st class. We settled in very quickly. The breakfast was the best ever. Fresh,nicely presented, piping hot, lots of variety. The reception staff were very attentative and friendly,

The informal eating place in the conservatory close at 6pm. The Keepers Cottage eatery was more down market, and although the food was good it didnt have the same atmosphere as the main hotel. It was more suited to the golfers.

Excellent value for money, good facilities

Breakfast was superb, served in a beautiful room overlooking the golf course. The pool was always nice and quiet, and the fire and ice experience ie sauna, steam and salt room was different and very invigorating. We ate in the Keepers Lodge which although not very romantic or atmospheric serves very good food at reasonable prices. There is also a very nice local pub in Matfen village which serves food at weekends, and a brewery 2 miles away which my husband was delighted to visit. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and would return to this hotel.

A relaxing experience with staff very friendly and eager to help without being intrusive. We only experienced the breakfast, but this was of good quality and well-cooked with attentive and efficient service. The view over the golf course is delightful and I would highly recommend this hotel.
