Bowes Hotels

"This is a very "worn" hotel. We opened the door to our room to be hit with 40+ Celsius heat as there was an oil heater set to max running in our room. The window barely opened to allow little reprieve. We decided to go down and do some laundry as it stated they had laundry facilities... they do not. We had to go to a local laundry mat to do it. The bathroom sink plug would not stay open so we had to jam a spoon in it to prevent over flowing. Breakfast was good"

"Everything was perfect just the fire alarm went off in my room at 6:30am and woke me up but the hotel it’s self made up for it "

"Very old building, cold room. Decor was dated, room was spacious. Conveniently located for city centre, but not worth the cost."

"Breakfast was excellent and the staff very friendly."

"Amazing setting. Amazing inside and out. Would recommended "

"Fab! Friendly! "

"Excellent 5⭐️"

"Brilliant stay! The staff were very friendly and attentive and were happy to upgrade my room free of charge after requesting a room with a bath. The room (27) was spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was clean and shower had a good water pressure. The food at the restaurant was great and reasonably priced (pork cutlet and espresso creme brulee highly recommended). The booking offered a complementary breakfast of toast, jams, yoghurt, cereals, fruit etc and had a decent selection. Really nice walking/running routes behind the hotel leading off into the countryside also. Its a pity that hotel customers are not allowed to use the gym and pool however without paying extra for it. This was not made clear upon booking and I was slightly disappointed by this. Also would be nice to ditch the small single use toiletry minis and opt for more eco friendly shampoo/shower gel refill dispensers in the shower. Overall great stay and would 100% come back when next working in the area."

"Perfect location venue. Staff friendly and helpful. Good breakfast choice. Decor in room was tired; bathroom needs attention."
