First class food.
Pros:

Food was amazing - fantastic chef! Good for parking. Great for visiting Barnard Castle.

Cons:

Room 1 was above the front. It was very noisy up to midnight with very rowdy customers. If we’d known in advance we would have chosen a different room.

Pros:

I had a 2 night stay in The Stables Annexe - everything about it was perfect, especially the location. The breakfast was very good indeed. I will definitely recommend it and hope to stay there again one day!

Very comfortable
Pros:

The room was quite big enough - unlike some hotels where they think you only need just enough room to walk round the bed. I would give the breakfast full marks. The breakfast menu was like you would expect in the best hotels - choice between full English and the likes of eggs royale etc. There wasn't the range of fruits and yoghurts to help yourself to but the smaller range was quite sufficient. I couldn't find an HDMI port on the television to connect to to watch my own programs so I had to make do with what was on or use my laptop (for which the broadband wifi was quite sufficient).

Cons:

There was some "pub" noise in the evening from patrons sitting outside but that is inevitable and stopped at closing time.

Pros:

We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend it. The location is excellent, making it easy to walk to everything. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, with modern, well-appointed bathrooms and all the facilities you would expect. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the showers were powerful with plenty of hot water.
The breakfast was absolutely exceptional and far exceeded our expectations. It was one of the highlights of our stay.

Cons:

The only slight issue was at check-out. When we arrived, we were told that check-out was 11am, but as we were attending a wedding, the gentleman checking us in kindly said we would be fine leaving around 11:30am or even 11:45am as there was no rush. However, the following morning the cleaner knocked on the door asking us to leave immediately, which suggested there had been a misunderstanding between staff. It wasn't a major issue, but it did make the end of our stay feel a little rushed.
Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay, and we wouldn't hesitate to return.
