Hardwick Hall Hotel in County Durham

Not been for 20 years plus, took a very special lady for mothers day lunch and was not disappointed. A little bit dated but that adds to it caricature, staff very helpful and tentative even though very busy. Food was excellent and plenty, not over priced. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous Christmas experience. Many thanks Hardwick Hotel.

Lovely hotel and grounds, the bedroom and en-suite were enormous, very comfortable and immaculately clean.

It's a nice place, but like others they abuse pricing of just about everything, after all this is not London! Rooms are just OK but I've experienced better more importantly cheaper. Location is good though

Room is tight to many tables squeezed together

I visited as had a gift of afternoon tea. Went for a walk around lake .its beautiful . There was also a craft fair in the Marquee. It's was excellent and very busy . The afternoon tea was delicious and so many beautifully decorated cakes . A very generous tea and so boxes were available to take things home. The only down side was we had our tea served in the bar which was a bit deflating .

This is an ok hotel set in a gorgeous location. Developed from an old manor house, the development bod in keeping with the original building but inside it's a rabbit warren that goes round corners. The room was hideously hot and seemed impossible to cool. But otherwise ok, if poorly appointed viewing a courtyard used for back door deliveries and staff on fag break ( or no doubt escaping the internal sauna conditions). The actual location was fabulous - about 5min drive from the A1, just before entering the pleasant town (village? - not in Scotland it would not be) of Sedgefield. Set in really glorious, rather cultured parklands, with huge ornamental pools and mature woodlands. To be enjoyed in their own right. So worthy of look. Lots of parking both in the parklands ( charged) or at the hotel ( free).

Every aspect of Hardwick Hall is outstanding. The staff clearly enjoy their work and made all the difference to our visit

Stunning setting lovely hotel and staff

We had a late night check in and the lady on reception couldn't have been more helpful. The room was lovely and we had a wonderful view over the nearby park and lake . Eggs benedict breakfast was delicious and more than enough fruit and pastries and the usual continental breakfast fare. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The shower in our room was great and our granddaughter enjoyed her bath. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back when we can.

Another great short stay at Hardwick Hotel. Nice big comfy room and bathroom with a great corner location having great views of the lake. Excellent full English breakfast. Nice quiet mid week break.

Slightly out of town, but the hotel provides a shuttle car, which is an excellent plus, lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings

The room was fabulous, very large, and spacious with lovely decor. The bathroom and toilet were huge with a his and her sink unit, with an enormous bath and a good sized walk in shower. However, when it came to the restaurant and food, we booked a table for 8pm, the menu was limited and the first two things that we asked for weren't available so we really had to settle for something as a third choice. The breakfast was very disappointing although a good choice some items didn't appear to have been cooked fresh. The staff were very professional, efficient, and friendly.

Much improved decor great location

Attended for 80th birthday celebration in the Floral Suite. Excellent food, the beef and lamb just melted in the mouth. The room was amazing and the staff were so friendly and helpful. They turned the music down automatically when there was a speech. Really excellent evening. Thank you.

Went here for mother's day dinner and was not disappointed fabulous location room was lovely and grounds look nice too will definitely be going back for a stay

Stayed overnight, super room, great meal on the evening. Full English Breakfast wasn't up too much, items over cooked. Reception staff friendly & helpful as were the bar staff & staff in the restaurant. The soup was so tasty compliments to the chef. Stayed again this time had Sunday lunch, super room.

Good service. Slightly dated hotel. Rooms are a good size however. Clean.
