I stayed for a weekend at the Traddock with my mother: I had the hotel's only single room (actually a 'bijou' double which would have been fine for two people for a night), and my mother had Room 4. The beds in both rooms were wonderfully comfortable, with lovely bed linen, towels and toiletries. Yes, the bathrooms are small, but as someone else has said, this is only to be expected in a very old building, and my power shower was great. The heating was easily regulated via the radiator thermostats. Our only slight concern was the lighting levels, which on dark winter mornings were a bit inadequate, and the decor in Room 4 made it seem even darker. Having said that, though, this was only a slight concern and others would probably find it romantic and atmospheric.

Everything else about the hotel was wonderful. It was warm, cosy, relaxing and friendly. The staff were all extremely helpful, informative and professional; we didn't ask them for much, but I'm sure if we had they would have provided it. The hotel was full of current magazines, lots of books and games. The food was terrific, and the wine list was extensive and not too pricey. On the first morning we were served freshly-squeezed fruit juice which was heavenly, but inexplicably on morning two we got standard juice, which was a disappointment.

The weather was awful, so we sat around in front of the log fire for ages reading the papers and magazines, and it felt like a very cosy home. We would definitely stay here again - and indeed hope to - and would recommend it to anyone.

2/2 found this review helpful

The hotel is situated in a lovely village and has fabulous views over the countryside. Inside, the hotel is welcoming and the public rooms are tastefully and comfortably decorated. The restaurant is excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the food.

We stayed in room10 and, as other reviewers have commented ,the bathroom set up is barely adequate. We would not stay in this room again as we prefer to have all bathroom fixtures in the bathroom and not in the bedroom, ie the sink! I would advise people to check the bathroom set ups before booking.

However, we would definitely stay in this hotel again, but we would request a different bedroom. Overall, the hotel is to be highly recommended.

“A Real Bargain”

The Traddock

26 Jan 2008

We stayed one Friday night in January when there was a 50% discount on offer and what a bargain. Very friendly welcome, brief tour of all public areas and accompanied to the Penyghent room which was stylish, warm and full of character. Evening meal and breakfast both excellent, staff helpful and attentive without being obsequious. A genuinely memorable stay

    • Disliked — Shower cubicle a bit small for a big guy like me!

“cosy atmosphere”

1/1 found this review helpful

I phoned and got the last room for a 2 night stay with my husband without children. Hotel was lovely, very warm and inviting, lovely log fires, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. We ate in the restaurant on one of the nights and thought the food was great and reasonably priced for the quality, including a very good wine list.
Our only complaint was that after a long day's walking our bathroom was tiny with no bath - only a shower -although to be fair I did know that when I booked.

“Wonderful experience”

The Traddock

24 Oct 2007

My husband and I stayed here with our baby daughter for 4 nights (Room 2). It was the most wonderful experience - a lovely hotel, with excellent staff, first class service and superb food - all organic. Although we had the largest room (family room), I peeped into some of the others and they all looked nice. The only tiny thing that I could say on the downside was the size of the bathroom, but that seems so insignificant compared to all the good things that it's hardly worth mentioning.
