Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club

Great value for money, the hotel and grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Parking was very easy and lots of space. There is a lift to all floors. We were given a choice of which floor we would like to stay on which was really nice. Free wifi was really helpful and worked very well. Lots of space to sit downstairs and work/watch TV etc if you didn't want to be in the room. We didn't use the spa but the posters around the hotel had lots of good deals, if we had stayed longer we would have taken advantage of that. It wasn't very busy and the noise levels were low.

The hotel is beautiful and has lots of beautiful features like stain glass windows and rooms to sit in and relax, it is high up on a hill and the landscape is beautiful, even with all the snow it was very magical. Our room was a standard double but it was warm, clean, and very comfortable, had no issues, I called for extra pillow, which was given to me straight away, even with the fire alarm going off (a false alarm) it was still a great stay, food was great breakfast and dinner and all staff were friendly and polite. Thank you for a great stay in a beautiful area. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.

The welcoming atmosphere & the staff. This hotel has original features, featured ceilings, stonework, leaded glass windows & in the old part of the hotel, the magnificent staircase which is gazed upon by ancestors old. To the extensive grounds there is a giant chess set, table & chairs, proper golf range. Pets are welcome inside. The Spa was great using Elemis products. We had back, neck & arm massages follwed with a facial, so relaxing. We then went into the clean pool & also used the jacizzi, steam & sauna. As snow was down outside and it was a barmy -6° the hotel remained warm. We asked & were given extra blankets for our beds.

I had wondered if this hotel, which I visited many years ago, would have gone downhill on changing hands. Not so. Cleanliness immaculate. The room (ordinary double) was big enough and the bed comfortable. You can choose how often you want it cleaned and request additional tea, etc. The staff were professional, friendly and helpful. One review had commented on slightly 'tired' decor but the overall impression and ambience are really nice and there are thoughtful touches, such as the sofas and lamps on landings, which is a boon if you suffer from insomnia, as I do, and don't want to disturb your room mate, or have to hang around waiting for companions. It's leisure club is also the best I've used - decent size pool without being too deep, hot tub, sauna, good air and water temperature, poolside hooks and benches for towels (which they provide), sun beds, all the facilities you could want in changing rooms, etc. We were also allowed to use it immediately after checkout. With hindsight we wished we had used the Grill on The Hill (hotel restaurant), as the prices weren't bad and the steak pie in the local Chef and Brewer left much to be desired!

The property is lovely and spacious with excellent facilities. The pool, steam, sauna and gym are very good as hotels go. Room was clean and comfy. Breakfast was OK, bacon a bit dry (but I am being fussy!). Staff are very friendly.
