A friendly welcome by George & his staff at The High Force Hotel. Our room was small but comfortable (room 7) with an excellent shower & the mattress / bedding were superb. Breakfast was a feast with a huge range of foods to choose from. Added bonus was the free access tickets to both High Force Waterfall & Raby Castle which were both delightful & well worth visiting. With free car parking to boot, my husband & I would definitely recommend a stay here to family & friends. Thank you.

Breakfast and our evening meal were very good, service pretty quick. Our dog was allowed in all areas if I remember correctly. There was not much parking directly outside and it seemed that visitors for High Force used it so that they didn't have to pay for parking! I believe the receptionist said we could use the paid parking if we gave our Car Reg.
