Cockliffe House

This was an overnight stay for us travelling from Somerset to the North East, so it was a convenient and comfortable stop. The bed was particularly comfortable and the room was certainly spacious. The staff were lovely - very friendly and helpful.

Our room was in an annexe which looked to be a converted outbuilding. We had to walk outside in the cold and wet from the main building to reach it (which we hadn't been expecting) and there was no lighting except for a safety light that came on at the end. More importantly, there was a glass panelled door to the room with an inadequate mesh-type net curtain which gave no privacy to a large part of the room, especially as some cars drove up to park outside, motel-like - so we were well illuminated by headlights on occasions. There was no bin in the bathroom which meant any sanitary products had to be disposed of in the open bedroom bin. As the shower was over the bath it would have been helpful to have a grab rail for older visitors No teabags in the tea & coffee making facilities in the bedroom!

The idyllic location and friendly staff made my stay at the Cockliffe a pleasant and comfortable stay. They were so kind to provide me a delicious dinner in my room after a long trip from London. The room was beautifully decorated and the peace and quiet was lovely to sleep to on a cool autumn's night. The room was exceptionally large as was the bathroom. Fresh linen and plenty of towels were provided along with quality staples for the shower if you forgot yours.

I was only staying for one night and I couldn't partake in the fresh breakfast provided.
