Feedback about The Morritt Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently appreciate the spacious rooms, especially the classic plus doubles and those with four-poster beds, finding them well-equipped and comfortable. The breakfast is often mentioned positively for its variety and quality, though some have noted that the continental breakfast selection could be more extensive. The hotel's location just outside Barnard Castle is convenient, and while the decor in some areas, like doors and skirting, might show some wear, the grounds are generally considered neat and welcoming. Many found the bar area particularly attractive, highlighting the painted mural walls.

The lady at reception was amazing! The bed in my room was comfy and the breakfast was great. Staff was friendly. I was allowed to come earlier to drop my bag off and it was in my room when i returned later.

a decent experience

friendly staff ample parking heating issue small radiator
the staff was friendly and helpful. the breakfast choice was good, and the food was well cooked and plentiful. i appreciated the quiet area and the ample parking space. it was also convenient for traveling on the main road.
the heating wasn't working when i arrived, and it took a while to get sorted. a small electric radiator was provided, but it didn't really warm up the room enough. later that evening, the heating went off again, and it stayed off until i checked out!
