Find the Cheap North Lodge Hotels

Stayed here last night on a coach trip to Durham,rooms modern and clean,small bathroom but sufficient, no fridge in room,there was a hairdryer,nice shampoo,bodywash,tea/coffee facilities. Evening meal, if you are on a trip you have to sit as a party,and the like you to share tables with other guests,but we sat on our own and insisted we stayed there,but you could tell staff weren't happy with some staring looks from the manager,the meal was OK,you get a sheet of paper with 3 choices for srarter main and pudding,we chose chicken dinner,not big meals but quite nice and hot,a bottle of wine was £14,with a discount you get with your room card,now breakfast is fantastic full English which you helped your self,warm also.cereal yougurt fruit, porridge,toast station very plenty full,would stay again, just off putting about seating arrangements,as you feel you are treat differently to other guests,and I feel its the coach party's that bring the money in.

Me and my partner visited the Campanile Hotel Washington 20th-25th. Our stay was absolutely brilliant from beginning to end. Going from arrival, the staff were so pleasant I'm greeting and welcoming us, they constantly asked if everything was alright everyday. The food was brilliant breakfast in particular was perfect. The room was outstandingly clean and everything was replaced when needed. Shower was impeccable! Some staff even treated our pooch which was very appreciated. No problems at all throughout our stay. Many thanks to all the Campanile Hotel staff and the Deputy General Manager for everything. See you all again soon.

The drive up to the castle was was fantastic as the view of the castle looked stunning. The entrance to the court yard for parking was quaint and inviting. The look of the court yard looking at all the out buildings looked inviting and very well presented. The “stocks” make for great entertainment The entrance to the reception is like looking for the secret door but the plaque at the side with history information explains why and is interesting to read. Inside the reception is is quite dark but this for me added to the ambience of the place. The staff where welcoming, polite and explained the hotel set up. We stayed in one of the room in the courtyard which was beautiful. Very nicely decorated and good value for money. The room was cozy. We’d booked to have a meal in the Knights Restaurant and we had pre drinks in the bar first The walk to the restaurant through the corridor into the central courtyard was very different yet beautiful. It’s so old and it was nice to see it was decorated and kept within “keeping” The bar again was inviting and cosy and it was great to see that the drinks and wine list was very reasonably priced. So often places know you are a target audience and inflate the prices ridiculously however in our opinion the castle had not done this. There was a good choice of cocktails and the “smoked” cocktails added that something a little bit different and we didn’t mind paying a few pounds more for the “quirkiness”. Again the staff where very professional, friendly and well presented. The walk from the bar/lounge area to the Knights Restaurant was stunning through the corridors of the castle and past a lovely looking staircase and when we walked into the restaurant I was overwhelmed as it was stunning and not what I was expecting. The arched ceiling, the lighting, the privacy of how the tables where set out we felt was very nice. We thought it all created a romantic setting. It was very secluded but included. The menu choice was good and the food was beautiful. The service was great too and again the staff were very professional, polite and very well presented. The prices on the menu varied so I would say they’d catered fo most people’s budget and it was your own choice on how much you spend Our nights sleep was comfortable and the walk back from the restaurant to the courtyard was well lit but again in keeping with been in a castle environment. Great use of mood lighting. My husband even went into the stocks on the was home (🤣) Breakfast the next morning again did not disappoint. The selection was fantastic and plenty of food to choice from Overall we can can not fault our experience. It was a lively venue with great facilities and very well presented. The staff where Courteous, polite, friendly and very well presented. I would recommend this as a place to go and stay. We must go back so we can stay in one of the castle rooms as I am sure they would be as good and maybe even more “quirkier” than the courtyard rooms which were very nice.
