Surroundings good- staff good if a little too formal -- food good maybe vegetables could be better selection and amount could be added to-- drinks ok but missing Newcastle Brown Ale -- need to get that sorted. Overall good but no custard with sticky toffee pudding -- ?? what are they think of --

Room at the rear of the property overlooking fields resulted in a comfortable stay and a great nights sleep. Room was spacious and well appointed. Beware the ferocious power of the shower. The spa facilities are great for unwinding with the pool,steam room and jacuzzi being well maintained and of an excellent standard. Dinner was taken in the restaurant with... More

We are a privately owned, family run business and it is our priority to give a friendly, personal service to all our guests and this is appreciated by many. I do not feel that with 34 bedrooms, a 60... More

We got an executive room for one night. Very nice spa, good breakfast, pleasant staff, room/bathroom very clean. Not much to complain about. Overall, very good value for money - would definitely go back again.

Another great night at The Hempstead House hotel and Spa. We went to the murder mystery night and it was very entertaining. The food was first class as was the service. I can highly recommend a visit. They have a "Fawlty Towers" event in June which I am sure will be just as entertaining
