The Scotch Corner Hotel

Clean and comfortable hotel used a lot for informal meetings. Leasiure centre facilities good and very good value at £54 for DBB

The staff although pleasent gave the impression they were chasing their tail and overstreched. Food was ODD - flavoursome but risotto was more a mixture of cooked rice and cooked duck and steak had an almost braised texture. Breakfast looked a bit tired as though it had been topped up a few too many times.

The freindliness of the staff and the breakfast is sublime

The kettle sitting in the drawer still had water and it was quite dusty. There was also no shower gel nor hand washing liquid in our room. With the swine flu pandemic, alcohol gel should be made available and a box of facial tissues in the rooms.

Impressive building, nice decor.

I had booked an executive double room but it was tiny and certainly not worth the £90 I had paid. The shower was dreaadful as the water pressure was so low you needed to run around to get wet.

convenience to my next meeting down the A1

After booking a certain room the staff in there wisdom moved me to a dirty cheaper room without discussing options with me .Wont be back here in a hurry

The room next to the lift

Lovely large rooms and ensuite - for the double room we booked. Bed was comfortable, the hotel environment was good.

basic stuff like bin in the room missing, no telephone, absence of chair - all of which remedied when asked for - but really should not have to.The hotel is located literally on the roundabout of a busy route and you can hear truck traffic almost throughout the night.

It's location is ideal for working or visiting the area. It is an old looking building but has a modern, friendly and welcoming atmosphere inside.

The hotel is in an excellent location, very easy to get to and from the a1. Although the breakfast was buffet style (not freshly cooked) the was no shortage of food. There was a good supply of hot water in the room. Free internet - not common in hotels but a definate plus point for me. There was some confusion as to whether or not it was free in the bedrooms, I tried it and it was, maybe all the staff could be told and the literature left in the bedrooms updated.

The lounge area appeared pretty stark. Basically the outside and inside of the hotel didn't seem to match; outside the hotel seems to say 'old fashioned luxury' inside it is brightly lit and almost antiseptic. The room was small; a large tv almost blocked the bathroom door and a floor standing lamp made getting around the bed an 'interesting' experience in the dark!

Staff were friendly, reception and bar area were nice

The hotel was shabby, the food was not great, drinks were expensive.

Room clean

Room noisy, close to lift & extremely creaky floorboards above & in room meant sleeping difficult late at night or early morning. Limited choice at breakfast compared with other hotels I have stayed in.

The reception, the size and comfort of the room, and the friendliness of the staff.

The evening meal menu was uninspired, but nicely delivered by the staff

Large room, excellent breakfast, friendly helpful staff, although situated on major roundabout very close to Richmond which is a loveely place to visit

Lack of comfortable chairs in room
