We spent a night at Matfen Hall this weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday - and what a perfect choice it was! The first big plus was that we were able to take our little dog with us and nobody seemed to mind. The rooms were fabulous and the fact we had our own balcony was a real plus. The... More

Although, on the surface, Matfen Hall Spa gives you all it promises, I couldn't help feeling that something was missing. And thinking about it afterwards I realised that the place is generally rather “tired” and I felt that I was treated as a "commodity" rather than a valued customer. A little cleaning and sprucing up of the spa area and... More

4 of us stayed for Dinner Bed and Breakfast, plus spa facilities/massage. The staff were warm and friendly. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable with modern decor and good facilities. Food was of excellent quality. Overall a very enjoyable stay and we will certainly be returning. Such beautiful views! Would highly recommend. More

The furnishings complemented the surroundings to perfection. We booked a Spa treatment and we were not disappointed, the spa is beautiful and relaxing with complimentary fruit and teas. The pool is... More

We had our wedding in Matfen hall in October 2011. Everything about the hotel was fantastic! We were not the easiest party to cater as we booked about 90% of the hotel and had people travelling in from abroad for a full weekend. This included a full typical English dinner buffet in the Keepers lodge, the wedding breakfast and dinner,... More
