The staff were very friendly and helpful, the receptionist had booked guests in a million times and was very efficient. The young waitress who served me was originally from Kent and l recognised her accent from coming from where l used to live.
My room 101 was a nice location, full view of the Scotch Corner roundabout and could see the snow and when it was clear so l could get on my way to continue my journey to Scotland. It really is in a fantastic location.
Breakfast was good the chef made the best porridge in the North East so he tells me.
We opted for breakfast in our room and enjoyed the options we received, especially the pancakes. Everything was spotless and all the staff we welcoming and helpful. There was a cafe option as well as the restaurant which was nice.
Perfectly adequate stay. Free room upgrade thank you, but room was quite cold and road noise disturbing, but not enough to stop a good nights sleep. Very friendly staff

Decor is getting tired and needs a refurbishment. We had a room overlooking road and road noise was loud. Bathroom felt cold as no heating and large window with no window dressing and downpipe noise. We have stayed previously with room away from the road and internal bathroom which was better. Staff were helpful and friendly and location is convenient for exploring the area.

Great hotel for a pit stop
A great hotel for a comfortable and friendly place to stay. It’s not fancy, and a little tired in places, but it’s super clean, the beds are great and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of parking - just remember to put your reg in at reception. Overall a good pit stop
1-night stay for a business trip. This hotel is in a convenient location right on the Scotch Corner junction.
Room was clean and as expected, easy parking.
The restaurant was OK for both breakfast and dinner, not fine dining but decent enough.
I recommend this one over the next Holiday Inn further north.
