This was my second stay at Whitworth Hall and once again I wasn't disappointed. Its situation is divine with the deer all grazing in the grounds, which visitors are welcome to walk around. The room was clean, comfortable and had wonderful views. I highly recommend evening meal in the hotel restaurant. The service and the food are fantastic with a... More

Stayed at this Best Western hotel in County Durham recently and was amazed too find a deer park in the hotel grounds. I was taking my daughter back to Newcastle University and booked a couple of nights for me and my wife. As we were early, we took our daughter along and she was delighted to be able to buy... More

Visited for a birthday party and was very impressed. The hotel is located in very picturesque surroundings - ideal in good weather. The hotel itself was superb with a nice restaurant, plus the added bonus of a deer park, where you can feed the deer. Reception and service staff were very helpful.
