Nent Hall Country House Hotel

My wife & I stopped overnight here a couple of weeks ago - and were very happy we had! This was the first time we'd taken the A689 en route to Scotland, and I expect we'll do it again. A lovely scenic route! We arrived too late in the evening for dinner, but received a warm welcome on arrival and help to take our luggage to the room - which was an upgrade to a four-poster bed. Comfortable, but quite compact. The following morning, breakfast was fantastic! Generous and well cooked "full English", as well as help-yourself to a range of "continental" options and coffee. (We tried to book again on our return the following weekend, but prices had almost doubled from 1 week to the next! Don't know why this should be...)

I stayed here for 2 nights with my partner and was satisfied. I’d have happily stayed longer. The hotel is pretty much as described and has been maintained to a good standard. Our bedroom was a decent size with a comfortable bed and was perfectly quiet. The bathroom needs refreshing at some point but is more then adequate - nothing to complain about. We had an evening meal in the pub which was a reasonable price and acceptable standard with a wide choice of dishes including veggie and GF. There was a full English breakfast included plus cereals and yogurts and fruit plus other cooked options including veggie. Some items had been cooked quite a while earlier so not the best but acceptable. This place is not perfect but I’ve read some rather unfair reviews. Overall a good value stay in an amazing area - I’d be happy to stay again.

Nent Hall hotel would not suit everyone. It is in a gorgeous location surrounded by stunning scenery but the building is old and a bit tired. The staff were great, helpful, pleasant and keen to ensure the place ran smoothly. The room was comfortable though old fashioned and the shower over the bath was hot and powerful. Sadly the room smelt damp and the bathroom was in need of a refit. So if you want sleek, modern or high end then avoid Nent Hall but if, like me, you're comfortable with outdated, old fashioned and needing some input then you will fall in love with the place. I firmly intend to go back with my dog, yes it's dog friendly but my friend would not book there again.
