Eshott Hall - Northumberland

Lovely team of staff, receptionist caitlin was marvellous answered all of our questions and more couldn’t of been better with the great local knowledge.Breakfast was a little bit of a wait for hot food, however the girls running the shift were so polite and made my experience even better. Appreciation to Amanda Amelia and Maria.The rooms were also lovely and had a nice view of eshott’s garden.Over all would return especially due to the amazing staff.

We were staying in the hotel and elected to have dinner in on the first evening. Food was excellent. It is quite expensive but the quality makes up for it. Breakfasts were also great. Staff were really pleasant and helpful

We booked the Luxury Afternoon Tea, yesterday, as it was my birthday. I requested a proper height table and chairs, as we find eating from low coffee tables and sofas, not comfortable. I was assured that was not a problem. On arrival we were shown to low sofas and coffee table!! A table, in the darkest corner of the library, behind a wedged open door, was quickly set up and the tea and food arrived almost instantly. The waiter departed, never to visit us again. There was no tea menu, until I asked. The whole 'Luxury Afternoon Tea ' was the worst I 've ever had. Poor presentation, appalling cake selection, comprising 6 brown cubes, 3 of which were stale, 3 macarons, and 3 of the tiniest eclairs ever! It looked really unappetising . The sandwiches were very dull and poorly presented. Not to mention the milk jug with a large chip out of it!! The best thing was the scones and the tea. Both excellent. Maybe we should have had a cream tea instead LOL As it was my birthday, it was so disappointing. I know that we won 't be going again. They ought to have a look at what a Luxury Afternoon Tea should be See The Cookie Jar in Alnwick!

Stayed at Eshott Hall for our wedding anniversary and had a dinner included as part of the deal. Excellent in all respects. Chef produced lovely flavour blends. The two staff on duty worked relentlessly to please all. Wine available by the glass at reasonably good prices Really recommend it

Only had one evening meal as the menu was tiny and not enough choice plus quite expensive. Enjoyed it very much but dining room is dated, needs to smarten up as do the staff although they themselves were lovely. Just a little lacking for the prices.
