Low level customer service, Rode old lady in reception, but other receptionists were nice ladies. All rooms in this place has Toilet flashing issue. Bath has bad covering design, after taking shower you have the toilet floor full wet. And they do not do house keeping every day. They need some major refurbishment.

Absolutely loved our stay here. We stayed for the Beyoncé concert and the transport links were nearby and easily accessible, and staff were so helpful in navigating how to get to and from the stadium. The room was huge and had all necessary amenities, bed was super comfy and it was a quiet area. The hotel decor is lovely, and the staff were all fantastic. We will definitely return!

We had a lovely stay at The Ridings. We didn’t stay in a room we were expecting from the photos when I booked, however it was still a nice room and was decorated lovely. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

This hotel is in a lovely setting. It hasn’t been opened long so there are a few areas that need to be developed more, but the staff are all so professional and deal with any issues fairly and efficiently. The restaurant staff especially Luke are a real asset to the hotel. Luke is so friendly but also very professional which is what made our meals in the restaurant so enjoyable. Compliments to the new chef , the fish pie was the best we have ever tasted. So often in reviews the cleaners do not get a mention so I want to say that Gemma who cleaned our room went above and beyond in her role. The hotel is really developing in the right direction and we look forward to experiencing this each time we stay in the future. Sally Waller.

I would highly recommend this property, we stayed here to see Beyoncé at the Tottenham Hot Spurs stadium and it was easy to travel to and from. Our room had an issue with the radiator but the staff on reception were quick to resolve this for us.

Rare and Unique

It was an unusual place, but clean and unique. The Main gate was broken, old and padlocked. No directions for Ubers or travelers to use the other entrance. Our transport cancelled itself and made things a challenge trying to explain how a driver needed to gain access especially when you are a guest. The Food exceptional.

Lovely stay - will be back

Lovely location. Stayed in the old part of the hotel which was a bit surprising as the pictures on the booking site didn't match the room my parents got. So, maybe update the booking form to reflect that. It wasn’t an issue for us. The room my parents got was big and nice. They enjoyed the bed and how peaceful it was. Unfortunately, the lift was out of order which was a problem as we had a very heavy suitcase to drag up the stairs. Again, we managed it. We didn't try the restaurant as we ran out of time sadly.

Great service - New managers - New facilities

Excellent accommodation in the Restaurant accommodation block for wheelchair users. The shower room was luxurious with its double shower! New signage to find the restaurant block was better than my previous stay - but still needs a little improvement (the taxi driver dropped my friend at the Reception house). New disabled parking bays are great - but could be wider (to allow fully open car doors) and more clearly marked out. It is a great hotel in beautiful surroundings. I wish I had been able to know about the history of the buildings and the estate.

You don't expect this quality at this price

Lovely and quiet set in woodland down a long private driveway. Rooms are great with the lovely twist of being around a central courtyard. Restaurant kept to the philosophy of less choice but better quality, even the basic burger was lovely.

Amazing location, beautiful room and friendly staff. Only criticism would be the breakfast. I dont mind continental at all but the choice was very limited and for £20:i definitely would expect more variety.
