Hardwick Hall Hotel

Beautiful scenic venue where my friend had her Nikkah ceremony using both the outside marquee and indoor Floral Chapel. Rooms: Nice decor, large comfortable beds, the bathrooms were super with large bathtubs and separate shower cubicles! Really lovely..with branded mini toiletries too! Customer service was excellent. Staff were very responsive and accommodating of requests. (To name a few 😉- Adam, Craig, John) Location: Easy to find once you get to Sedgefield. Spacious car parking facilities available. Nice walking paths around the premises especially when the weather is favourable 👍🏾

Can't comment on rooms, went in for Sunday dinner. Table booked for 14.00, no lamb, no chicken.. It's still early!! Now I'm not a fan of "Sunday lunches" but have to say the pork was very tasty. The other four in our group had beef and all said it was very good. Veg came up nice n hot along with the gravy.. Some negatives.. Some of the staff looked like they had been slapped with a wet kipper but fortunately our table was served by a very lovely lady. On going down to the gents toilet I was greeted by a very loud row going on in the what I think may of been a kitchen or perhaps a staff room (not sure didn't walk in to find out) between a chap and a lady, they were going hammer n tongs at each other, not something I wanna hear when dining out with friends. Nowhere on the menu does it state that a 10% service charge is added to the bill.. This is not Florida!! I'd of happily left a tip with our waitress without having it thrust upon us.. Would I use again? On this occasion I'm on the fence with that question..

I have visited here many times throughout my life and it's so wonderful to see it grow. The rooms are lovely and the beds are very comfy. The only reason why I give this hall 3 stars for service is because of something that happened last time we stayed (20th June 2025). As we were returning to our room we heard a dog barking (it was 12am). This was a shock to me as nowhere on their site does it state that dogs are allowed in the rooms. We asked Adam about it and he reinforced that dogs are allowed (although that particular room had not declared a dog but that's besides my point). Fair enough, lots of places we stay in allow dogs. However it was when we asked which rooms don't allow dogs in (for our next visit) we were told that "it doesn't work like that" and they allow dogs in all rooms and they don't deep clean them after they have vacated. I understand hotels have different policies and it's nice that more places are accepting pets. However, please please please make sure you put this on your website. People need to make an informed decision before they book.
