    The shower was useless. Room 7. We could overlook the tired, water damaged carpet and the shabby bathroom as the room is huge and the bed very comfortable. BUT a decent shower is a prime requisite no matter the rate you are paying. This was an electric shower and the pressure was not good enough to maintain hot water and the shower head would not stay in the holder.

    Excellent breakfast, staff and location.

    The breakfast wasn’t as good as I had expected. The bottled water in the room wasn’t replaced once it had been drunk.

    The staff were friendly. The room was comfortable. The hotel had lots going for it. The cheeseboard was excellent.

    The wifi was very poor and the gas supply issue meaning reduced breakfast availability and lack of hot water was disappointing

    The very busy young lady that handled the check in, served at the bar and also worked alone in the restaurant was excellent!

    Two very minor things: With no key for the front door, it's difficult to leave the building after 10pm. We were told that the Northern Lights might be visible while we were there, but going out into the grounds to see them would have meant that we'd need to call the night porter to let us back in. Also our breakfast was really quite undercooked. We had the veggie breakfast - the sausages were still quite pink and the hash brown very pale.

    Dalston Hall is a beautiful building in attractive surroundings. A special thank you to the member of staff who checked us in, while looking after the attendees for a family fun day that was also running. She couldn't have been more helpful, or more professional.

    The only thing that we could fault was that the shower didn’t heat up and we had very cold showers which wakened us up!

    Everything was absolutely beautiful, the location was amazing, the place was spotless. Staff were very friendly and it felt like we had our own personal castle!

    The cups were too small for the beverage machine at breakfast and overflowed.

    We liked the gardens. It was a nice breakfast. It was enjoyable to play pool. There was a well stocked bar. Staff were friendly. Lots of interesting artefacts in the hotel.

    The only slight niggle was that the shower temperature fluctuated from warm to cold, but it didn’t cause any problems and it could well be due to something I was/wasn’t doing. And I will definitely be returning.

    Perfect stay for a birthday celebration. Stunning accommodation and exceptional staff, especially Samantha who went out of her way to make our stay extra special and memorable. The bed was really comfortable and the whole venue was immaculate. Food was great, a fantastic selection for breakfast and a lovely choice for evening meal and it was all delicious. We will definitely be returning.

    Some plumbing issues reported. Vegetarian options could be a lot better. Larger cups for the overflowing latte from the machine! Pot holes in the upper carpark and driveway need attention.

    Wonderful location, great breakfast, terrific room. We'd chosen Dalston Hall as our original booking had to cancel on us. Totally amazed at the room and the location. Despite arriving late, the staff were brilliant.
