Dukeries Lodge

Great food and a lovely atmosphere Food drinks: The Stilton sauce should be served by the bucket load as it's that good! Service: 5

Food drinks: Meals are always lovely, with good, fast service Rooms: 3 Service: 4 Location: 4 Hotel highlights: Quiet, Kid-friendly, Great value

Not the best for food in the area tbh. Also the server on the day at the bar seemed like they would rather be somewhere else rather than serve customers that actually provide an income for them. Service: 3 Location: 4

Called in for a meal at teatime. A nice clean setting, friendly staff and a lovely meal (salmon fillet and new potatoes)! Very Tasty. Perhaps the Decor is due for an overhaul as it's a bit outdated. Service: 5 Location: 5

I will never stay here again! The room was covered in dust in several areas, and it seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned properly in months, if not longer. There was a bright green light in the room that couldn’t be turned off, making it almost impossible to sleep. The double bed was made up of two twin beds pushed together, which is common in hotels, but one of the beds was lower than the other, creating an uncomfortable experience. The bathroom was tiny, resembling an airing cupboard, and the door hit the sink, preventing it from opening fully. While not a huge issue, it was still less than ideal. The walls were paper-thin, allowing me to hear everything going on in the next room as if they were right there with me. The water pipes were incredibly noisy, with loud splashing sounds that resembled buckets of water being thrown into a bathtub. It felt like I was listening to a drowning scenario in the next room for most of the night (I can’t confirm that, but it was unsettling). I stayed for two nights and only managed to get about five hours of sleep in total.
