STAY AWAY
Do Not Book This Hotel As They Advertise Free Cancellation UpTo 48 Hours Before Your Intended Stay, We Were Booked In June And Had To Cancel In March Due To Covid And The Hotel Still Took The Money for the room From Our Credit Card We Cannot Get It Back and The Hotel Will Not Respond, Thieves They Are Not Worthy Of a One Star Rating
Family celebration
After booking this hotel for 2 nights for a family celebration, what a mistake. We were shown room 1 which after travelling looked OK. As the weekend went on and on more inspection how wrong could we be. The headboard and foot of the bed all scratched and torn, ceiling rose not fixed, insufficient sockets so extension leads . No hairdryer, carpet disgusting under bed never been cleaned, beautiful large mirror not fixed just lent against the wall. Bathroom cabinets not fixed and around the toilet base was disgusting, no glasses in too. Plastic cups I stead. As I researched the hotel and recommended to other family members I felt quite bad. Advertised as a 3* not even 1 . If we hadn't paid upfront there is no way I would have given them the full amount. In the defence the bed was clean, breakfast delicious and plentiful , staff very obliging but no manager or owner to speak to
More B&B with a restaurant than a hotel.
When we booked in we were offered a second floor room with no lift, I asked if there was an alternative as my wife is disabled. We were moved into room 2 on the ground floor. This is quite large with a huge double bed 6’ square. The bathroom is also large but the bath is rather high and we had difficulty in getting in or out, I managed to assist my wife but I declined as I could not swing my legs in as half the bath side was taken up by a solid glass shower screen. The restaurant meals were plain with nothing special, we had pate as starter and pies with chips and peas for main course. See the photos. The breakfast was really good. Plenty of choice and cooked perfectly.
Comfortable
Comfortable, if slightly worn in places. We had room 2 on the ground floor. Very spacious with room for our dog. Nice bath/shower. We were a little disturbed with coming and going residents late at night and early morning. Breakfast good and plentiful. Room 26 on top floor was tiny and shower not good. Lighting down the corridor patchy.
Excellent Break
Have just enjoyed 3 excellent Nights staying at The Sir William Fox Hotel. I was here to do The Great North Run. All the Staff were very welcoming and helpful . My Room was beautiful with a lovely View over Westoe Village which is wonderfully peaceful. It was very nice to stay in a Hotel with a fascinating History. All my Evening Meals were delicious and very substantial I successfully completed the Run and hope to come back to this Hotel next Year. !! A sincere Thank You to all who looked after me.
