Stayed 2 days on business and could not fault it. Great service, excellent facilities, shame I forgot the swimming kit. I was running a training course on site. I don't play golf, but the course looks beautiful. The breakfast was exemplary, the food throughout the day almost too much. There is also a choice of evening restaurants and even the... More

Matfen Hall created a favourable impression before we even arrived though the helpful and accommodating service provided by the receptionist when when we phoned to request bringing forward our arrival day and adding an extra night. When checking in we found the staff to be courteous and friendly, but, most importantly, efficient. We found our room to be well appointed... More

Booked hotel en route from Cumbria to Durham, we had dinner in the library restaurant,drinks in the conservatory,sauna swim and treatment. Just as we thought that was it, we got a guided tour of the great hall, entrance, gardens and a very detailed account of the halls history. Food was amazing all staff were fantastic could not do enough for... More

We recently stayed at Matfen Hall as a weekend away for our wedding anniversary. We got a great deal through Secret Escapes as the rooms are quite expensive normally. Matfen Hall itself is beautiful as are the grounds and the surrounding areas are perfect if you enjoy country strolls, quaint pubs, visiting breweries or something more active such as Go... More

I'd stayed here a few years ago and had been anxious to come back for another visit and it didn't disappoint. Since then we've got a dog, so I was delighted when I called up to be told that the hotel allows dogs (for a small charge). The food and service were as good as I remember. The only bit... More

Stayed here after purchasing a deal on Secret Escapes. A little disappointed with the overall experience although the staff, except on reception, were very friendly and offered good service. The entrance is more like someone's house rather than a country house hotel. The conservatory bar is scruffy and dirty. The main restaurant is dark and small. The bedrooms were spacious... More

Spent a fantastic day/night/day here celebrating Belle's birthday after Bella's naming day. 100% relaxing, tranquil, staff very friendly and helpful,great food, good choice of places to eat with similar price range. Hi quality furnishings, good ambiance. Looking forward to going back soon.

Just back from a 2-night break at Matfen Hall and could not fault the comfort, cleanliness and quality of the accommodation. We stayed in the original wing of the hotel (room numbers 1-16), in a deluxe room, which was very spacious. The staff were welcoming and helpful; the leisure facilities well looked after (the bright swimming pool, with its glass... More

we love staying at maften hall. the staff have always been so welcoming, approachable and at times entertaining. we often come here 3 or 4 times a year to relax and have had some great affordable last minute deals. the old part of the hotel is much better than the newer rooms as we've found on previous stays that the...
