Crathorne Hall is a lovely old fashioned hotel in a peaceful setting. We had a room upgrade which did help but the staff are excellent, as is the food. The highlight at breakfast was the uttapam, a traditional Indian breakfast dish.

More than a 4*

Everything was wonderful - offering so much more than a 4* hotel! Stayed at Matfen Hall (5*) a few days earlier and this stay was so much better in every way - food, room size, decor, staff, comfort, value for money and attention to detail - well impressed! It was an added bonus to be able to enjoy the farmers’ market in the beautiful grounds!

Disappointing stay

The hotel staff were very friendly. We were given a classic room and discovered that the wash hand basin was severely cracked. We reported this immediately and were told a new one was on order,no offer of a room change despite the hotel being very quiet.We feel that as a 4 star hotel,guests should not be placed in a room that has a damaged hand basin.It was a disappointing stay.

Not only is it posh, elegant, serene, and welcoming, the personalized service and attention to detail make it one of the best finds and values I have experienced in 20 years of travel. The staff is very professional, and is evident each one of them loves what they do. The grounds are beautifully manicured. And the rooms make the guests feel like royalty.

I spent 2 nights, attending a family birthday event. It was all quite pleasant, and the staff were welcoming. The food was pretty good, although fairly limited in range, particularly for vegetarians. I have no reservations in recommending this hotel. It is a little out of Yarm (the nearest town), and public transport is not available, so reliance on a car or taxis is required. (No buses serve Yarm railway station, which needs addressing by the local authority.) Warm itself is a charming market town.

Very disappointed

We recently stayed at Crathorne Hall for a two night stay. We were extremely cold for the majority of our stay. Not only did the heating not work in either ours or our friends room but the window in our room had been left open by the cleaning staff to dispel the condensation. During dinner on Saturday evening we notice other diners putting logs on the fire as they were frozen too. The hotel looks as though it needs some money spent on it and the staircase is in desperate need of a good clean. For a two night stay costing £475 you expect more.

Crathorne......only a little thorn.....no prickles

We were invited to partake of the Blood donor lunch to begin with and were disappointed that it was changed that morning from roast beef to afternoon tea which was tasty but not at 12.30.
We stayed overnight and felt that wedding arrangements for the following day took priority over us.The lounges were out of use as these were being converted to a wedding chapel and reception area and we were left to sit in the corridor.
We had (and enjoyed) the Friday fish night which had been advertised on your website.Although extremely tasty we felt that we were given the 'ends' of the fish as it looked nothing like the picture on the website and the four of us in our party had small pieces of fish.The staff were not a aware of the 'fish night' advertised but were extremely helpful in finding out. We found the staff at the hotel to be excellent but paying at reception was a little fraught with a long queue and unanswered ringing telephones.......just glad it wasn't me trying to get through.!!
The breakfast was the best we had ever had in our lives and the porridge with cream and maple syrup was to die for.....well not literally.
We all enjoyed our experience and shall return in the future......even if we have to sit in the corridors!!

Stunning hotel in a stunning location.

The hotel is located very close to the A19 near to Yarm, however it is located in the beautiful and tranquil grounds which enjoy stunning views of the Cleveland Hills with only a very low level of noise drifting up from the A19. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout. We were made to feel both very welcome and comfortable with nothing being a problem. Also, the staff were attentive without being overly familiar or making us feel uncomfortable. The bar service was quick with a quality range of drinks and aperitifs. We selected our meal from the table d'ote and were not disappointed in any way. Again, the staff being friendly and attentive, helping with our wine selection and ensuring our experience was memorable. The room was warm and comfortable with the most stunning view over the river and towards the Cleveland hills. Finally, a good selection of breakfast options and a smooth check out made this a stay which we are looking forward to repeating in the near future. Many thanks.

A Christmas stay ruined by a third rate hotel...

Old Hall that needed a little TLC, This was a stay over Christmas and boxing day nights with relatives visiting from overseas. From the outset after booking we were made to feel like second class guests, Struggled to get a booking for xmas lunch in preference to those eating lunch and not staying or those who booked a complete three night package, upon arrival the decorations were very poor and sporadic you could have been mistaken in believing it was actually Christmas in most rooms, log fires were not lit, lounges closed or full and other rooms cold. service was very sporadic, as there was no bar in the lounges you were reliant upon staff serving you, we waited in the lounge for 30 minutes before our lunch and no service. lunch took four hours with over long delays between courses, a 40 minute wait for our first drinks to arrive despite repeatedly asking and another 10 before any food we honestly thought we were invisible !!!. The choice of vegetables was very poor and portion size was small, A meal served the next day was delivered incorrect and it took almost 30 minutes to provide a replacement - how long does it take to make up a wrap ?? all the others in our group who had hot food were finished long before its arrival.

the niggles carried on throughout the whole stay inc cold toast, failure to keep the breakfast bar stocked up, poor room service - beds unmade etc......i could go on and on....

Overall not recommended,A premium price for a cheap boarding house stay
