“overall very pleased.”

Beech Hill Hotel

3 May 2008

just read the review on the 28th April and I must say my experience was the complete opposite. we stayed for 2 nights and booked DBB via the web (cheaper than booking direct with hotel) and the food was excellent. on both nights my wife and I ate the fillet steak which was cooked to perfection and the other 2 courses were also very good. considering we eat in some of the best restaurants in london this was highly competitive and i would definitely recommend to stay here. the staff were very friendly and as we have a 7 month old baby were very accomodating with him making special seating arrangments for our evening meal on the 2nd night. the breakfasts are excellent and make a great start to the day. the only downside i would add is that the rooms can get cold in the evening as they turn off the heating and the beds are very soft so if you are used to a hard mattress you may have trouble settling down for the night. we stayed in room 29 which is one of the recently refurbished rooms and it was very spacious, clean and has a fantanstic view over the lake from the room or ideally sat on the outside terrace. my only other recommendation to the hotel would be to put some plants in between the rooms on the outdoor terrace otherwise you are sat together with other guests right next to you the plants would add some needed privacy.

“wedding breakfast”

Beech Hill Hotel

28 Apr 2008

just returned from attending a wedding at the hotel. i have to say was very very disappointed with the wedding breakfast.
the quality of the food was very poor , the beef we had was as tough as old boots ,curling up burnt at the edges and the veg was raw, i like crispy veg but this was raw !! The waiting staff did not have a clue on service and ' basil fawlty' stood in middle of dining room barking orders at them. considering this hotel has 2 rosettes for food, the service and standard of food was appalling.
i stopped at motorway services on way home and had a better meal the next day !!!!!!!

would not recomend to anyone , try any of the other hotels in the area,

“Cosy Hote & l Great Views”

Beech Hill Hotel

Save Review
3 of 5 stars
Northumberland England
1 Apr 2008

Friendly & Cosy. We visited in February and the tarns were frozen. Great walks as was no rain. Hotel was very warm. 4 flights of very steep stairs to our room. Lots and lots of stairs and no lift - no good if you are not fit! Breakfast was OK but tomatoes were a bit off - tasted odd. Food lukewarm. Great views. Carpets very worn and dodgy on the stairs.
Otherwise pleasant.

In summer road would be a problem as is very very busy & tricky getting out - sharp turn with mirrors.

“do not stay here!!!”

Beech Hill Hotel

Warrington

1/2 found this review helpful

As we arrived we noticed a sign outside saying "Rooms £45 a night", having paid £200 for one night we had great expectations of the room we were getting.

This hotel is set in a beautiful location. this is the only good thing about the hotel.

This hotel is what I would only describe as a poor, shabby 70's building, falling to bits. It was like being on the crystal maze running to keep up with the porter showing us to our room.

The smell of warm damp, dirty walls, broken lights and many other poor faults was not what we expected, the room was utterly dissapointing, it was totally unacceptable.

We checked out within 15 minutes and received a refund. We stayed at the Old England Hotel in the town centre, absolutely outstanding hotel in every way, highly recommended and also £45 cheaper!
