Overall it was a pleasant stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The decor was traditional rather than the contemporary look favoured by big chain hotels. The facilities could do with modernising, but hopefully not at the cost of the hotel's character. More needs to be done to improve the soundproofing of the rooms. One the plus side the hotel... More

Night 10 of our C2C walk. We'd enjoyed our first taste of the Moors, but even more so, the first touch of the sun for several days. Together with fellow walkers we waited at Clay Bank Top for the pick-up to arrive, and pretty much as promised, it did. We had a cheerful ride into Great Broughton which, when compared... More

Our daughter was married in August and we had considered lots of local venues but were absolutely thrilled when we decided to go to the Wainstones. From the moment we met David to book the date we had excellent support and were made to feel that our wedding was the most important event in the world ( the Hotel only... More

I feel a bit stingy giving the hotel four stars not five (it really deserved 4.5), so I'll start with the pluses: a brilliant walker-friendly welcome, starting with being collected in a hotel car from Clay Bank Top and not being asked to take my boots off (and punctual and friendly drop-off the next day); offered to take our cases...

We stayed at the Wainstones hotel during our Coast to Coast trek and had a wonderful experience. After a truly diabolical night the day before at another establishment, the excellent service, comfortable, clean and stylish rooms, proved to be just what we needed. The staff in particular are very attentive and even picked us up from Clay Bank Top (a... More

After a hard day on the Cleveland Way, we received a warm welcome, an excellent room and a first-class meal. Next morning we were given a lift back on to the Cleveland Way, saving at least an hour's uphill hike; had we known we would have been met on the trail the day before rather than having to walk off....

The hotel looks fine from outside but first impressions inside not good at all. Very old fashioned decor and fittings, and not in a quaint way! Gap between window and frame in my room was so large that the (tacky) net curtains had been sucked out by the wind and I could see them flapping in the breeze outside the... More

Walking the Cleveland Way, a free taxi service helped us chose this hotel as it was 2.5 miles from the route. A nice hotel, better than others we stayed at. Staff were friendly; the owners very concerned at a minor problem and generously recompensed. Can recommend to walkers and would happily stay again if visiting the area. Pleasingly, a variety...

We stayed her on 4th night of Cleveland Way. The service received from staff from the moment we got there to the moment we left was exceptionally good. The room was large and well appointed though the bed was a little uncomfortable for one of us. The food was excellent. Would definitely stay here again. More
