Great hotel, disappointing experience.
The hotel was beautiful and the staff welcoming. We were taking part in the great north run so the staff opened breakfast up one hour early which we appreciated as it meant we could leave with our bellies full. The only negative to our stay was that my fiancé had planned on proposing at the hotel and apparently had it all organised with the venue. However, the day before they called to say he wouldn’t be able to go ahead with the planned engagement and so he scrambled to find a different location on our way down. He told me afterwards about the stress this caused (understandable) so that was a shame.

Best hotel we have stayed in in the North East. Quality of decor and furnishings was outstanding. Staff were generally very professional. However, there appeared to be a shortage of staff in some areas and some inexperienced staff.

Beautiful and comfortable country house hotel
Our stay here was wonderful . We were at first offered a room which was stiflingly hot . (It was a hot muggy day ). As result we requested a cooler room and this was done with no fuss . The new room was much cooler . It was spacious with a large comfortable bed and a very well appointed bathroom and lovely view across the golf course. Highly recommend and reasonable value considering the amenities.

The world's most expensive sauna!
Beautiful building and wonderfully friendly and efficient staff, but, for this kind of money, I would expect air conditioning in the rooms. I appreciate that the weather was unseasonably warm, but it was like an oven in my room and, although there was a little fan supplied, it really made no difference. I would imagine that adding air-conditioning would be difficult in such an old building, but to justify the price and the rating, I feel it is necessary and, if our summer's get hotter (as seems inevitable), this problem is going to be a regular occurrence.

The rest of the hotel never quite lives up to the jaw-drooping grand entrance hall, but it's still all very impressive. The main dining room gives you an idea of what eating at Blandings Castle would have been like, the bed was very comfy, and the gym/pool are top notch

£300 per night is an absolute rip off for a double room with damaged furniture, cracked bathroom sink, no coffee (they boast a coffee menu with five flavours), and one small bottle of water for two. After ringing reception for over an hour with no response, a member of staff turned up only because the in-room fire alarm was activated ! To his credit, he returned with extra water and sachets of coffee…..all decaf! C’mon Matfen you need to do better than this. Needless to say, despite being a beautiful place, I won’t be hurrying back, I’d like to keep my eye sockets.
