West Layton Vacation Rentals

"Everything was excellent "

"Room was nice, coffee and tea excellent.and a nice breakfast hamper in the morning."

"Ideal location for visiting Durham etc & good Internet. Rooms outside a little tired but superb bathroom with lovely hot water and good lighting especially good for ladies applying makeup. Bed comfortable and bedding lovely. Room very clean. Staff were good at conversing with customers. Although only stayed one night would have no hesitation in booking again and would book direct."

"Not clean Pet hotel Not suitable for anyone with animal allergies When we arrived at the hotel at 11:30pm we then found out that the room was a room used for owners with pets We were not offered a room pet free. As it was so late and been driving for over 6hrs we looked at the room - but the room had a really strong cleaning product smell - probably trying to mask the animal smells, and looking closely on the floor you could see animal hair. So we left the room as it was not suitable for us. The animal smell etc is a problem as we both suffer from Asthma and dog / cat smell / hair can give us an asthma attack So after driving 6hrs to the hotel we could not stay and had to decline the room. As it was now after midnight it was too late to book anywhere online so we had to sleep in the car. At no time during the booking for this hotel did it state all rooms would be used by animals - if I had known this I would not had booked this room. The staff member at the desk could not deal with the booking issue so she wrote down my mobile number for the manager to give me a call. It’s now Monday and I still have not received a call. I would like a refund for the distress this has caused, maybe highlight in the booking that this hotel is a pet hotel for future guests"

"Lovely hotel, beautiful grounds, nice deluxe spa room, comfy bed, friendly, courteous staff, all across the hotel departments. The only negative is the evening meal. The restaurant had a nice ambience. The starters were nice then we both went for the Wagu cheeseburger which made your mouth water when you read the description on the menu. It arrived and was dry, no taste, in not the toasted sesame seeded brioche bun as described but a dry catering type bun, a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato, it was served with about 12 dry fries, really disappointing to say you were allocated £32 each towards the evening meal. We would stay again but not eat at the hotel. "

"If you’re disabled or just an older guest beware the rooms have not been reviewed by an appropriate person. I found the bathroom a death trap. No grab rails in the shower but the worst was the slippery floor in the toilet with nothing to grab onto when struggling to arise from the toilet. My husband had to help me but not before on making an attempt my feet slipped and I finished up with a nasty fall and a now painful back. At 2am I had to ring reception I was frozen- the radiator didn’t work and I couldn’t sleep the duvet was Summer weight, I had my coat on the bed and wearing tights and cardigan. Eventually I decided to contact reception or go home. The young man sorted my problem and brought me a portable heater and mended the radiator. He was very pleasant. The phone of course didn’t work I had to use my mobile. Otherwise the room had a lovely view and was large and I’d love to return . The staff were very helpful and pleasant, I feel it fair to warn other future guests. "

"Absolutely beautiful grounds and hotel. Impeccably kept; an extremely high standard throughout. Restaurant food and breakfast were also of an extremely high standard. We took our dog who was made to feel very welcome - there was never and issue. Would heartily recommend this hotel."

"Parking was fantastic. Such a beautiful place to visit and enjoy the cask ale. This place is a dream come true "

"Enjoyable and relaxing "
