Hotels in Allendale

"Breakfast was excellent although if you go late not everything is replenished even though it is 30mins before finishing! "

"Cosy , perfect staff and really wholesome food "

"Lovely hotel opposite the park, within walking distance of all the shops. Easy parking outside. Friendly and attentive staff. Clean and comfy room. Dinner was amazing! "

"Really lovely. This was exactly what we were looking for as we traveled from London to Edinburgh by car. We wanted a quiet, homey feeling stay in a real country inn. String of Horses was exactly that. Dinner, the rooms, breakfast, the staff were all excellent! Cheers!"

"Whilst I am sure this kind of property appeals to many, it wasn't what we were expecting. We appreciate it is a castle first, then hotel, but we have stayed in plenty of castles that still offered a very good hotel experience. Our room, apparently an upgraded one [we booked a superior kind] was small and very cold. The host promised us a heater, but it never materialised. The rooms have no TV ["because it is a castle"], but still have TV points in the room. Despite the hotels.com description, there is no spa and there is no hot tub, not that that aided our choice in the first place, but putting it out there for others; they don't exist."

"Breakfast felt rushed (all items brought to the table at the same time). Staff were pleasant. Furniture and decor in the room looking a little tired. Beautiful surrounding area. Castle and grounds are lovely, quiet and relaxing."

"The free breakfast was absolutely wonderful. Great menu and large portions."

"A beautiful place to stay. Very comfortable, clean and fresh. The breakfast menu is excellent and the staff are lovely too! "

"I had a breakdiwn on route to the hotel Tom was understanding and helped me despite arriving at almost 1am. He was welcoming and made every effort for me, I really appreciated his assistance in a stressful situation."
