A fantastic romantic getaway!
Pros:

Staff very friendly. Swimming pool was great first thing for me.
Food was outstanding. Evening meal was a great selection and at a very reasonable price. Breakfast was just what was needed after a few at the bar.
Grounds where very pleasant and shops not too far away if you need anything.

Cons:

Great countryside location, clean, amazing staff who also made my dog welcome.
Pros:

Amazing location. Very helpful staff. Very comfortable bed & bed linen.

Cons:

Midges were out en mass in the evening, so couldn't keep door open to cool the room without them trying to eat me, but that wouldn't prevent me from using again.
Steep steps to room
Didn't find code for WiFi

Potentially excellent
Pros:

Very nice location perfect for my end to end walk, Lands End to John o’Groats.
Bellingham is beautiful.
After being shown to my room, I quickly realised the room hadn't been made up but was promptly given another room.

Cons:

Very noisy during the night with a rowdy golf party and no hotel staff managing the noise. Some guests had to bang on the walls very loudly to tell people to shut up.
Made for a very uncomfortable night after a very tiring 20 mile walk on the Pennine Way.

A very pleasant stay, with friendly staff in a beautiful part of the country
Pros:

Regarding breakfast see below.
Otherwise an enjoyable stay

Cons:

For breakfast the scrambled egg appeared to have been made in a microwave as it was rather dry and not creamy as described. Last year the smoked salmon and scrambled egg was exceptionally delicious. My suggestion is to go back to traditional cooking for scrambled egg.
