My Husband, daughter and i stayed here for 1 night and we really did have an enjoyable stay.We arrived early, had a light lunch, service was friendly and efficient, with sandwiches, burgers and salads on the menu.
We were given an early check in, the reception team friendy, ensuring we had dinner reservations made and information on services advised.
Valet parking was offered, which pleased my husband and he very happily accepted the offer.
The room was clean, a good size and well maintained with a super kingsize bed and a golf view.
We took our Daughter for a swim, which she enjoyed, the pool was a little cold, there is a small sauna and steam room and a small jacuzzi, pool size drinks and snacks were also available,
We eat in the Brasserie for dinner which was excellent tasty food with very quick service which was fantastic for us with our daughter only 2 we wanted to get her to bed for 7.30ish Breakfast,food and service were good with friendly attentive staff, my only complaint would be the staff work to hard! Most of the staff served dinner and breakfast.
Thanks for a very enjoyable stay

Stayed at Slaley for the first time and on first appearances from the car park I thought it looked like any usual Travel Lodge/Premier Inn hotel. Inside the corridors and bar were nicely decorated and staff very welcoming and friendly. We were able to check in early. The bedrooms were again the same as any other run of the mill hotel and outdated however bed comfortable. On looking out of the window we faced a roof and no view at all which was a disappointment. The food in the bar was very expensive but tasty, costs around £8 for a sandwich and £12 for a burger. Drinks were also expensive, £9+ for a cocktail.

The Spa was also disappointing and looked just like a local leisure centre with a steamroom. The changing rooms were outdated and I couldn't get a shower cause they were not working. I ordered breakfast in the room for 8am and never recieved this until 9am. Beware any food which is brought to youe room incurs a £5 charge, they also add a 10% tip to every order in the bar for drinks and food and they also add a donation to charity which results in an expensive stay!

Overall I wouldn't rush back to stay at Slaley, It is not what I would say was luxury just average. I would recommend the outdoor activities centre in the grounds as we went quad biking and was really good fun, especially in the wet, snowy weather.

We recently stayed at Slaley Hall having booked the half price Winter deal. Here's my review:

Positives
- The communal areas (corridors, informal seating areas, reception etc.) are gorgeous. Very decadent and give you high hopes for the rest of the hotel.
- All of the staff that we came in to contact with were unfailingly polite and helpful.
- The grounds are wonderful with some great walks.
- The room was meticulously clean.

Negatives
- The decor in the communal areas does not follow in to the bedrooms. I understand that the hotel is being renovated and only 20 of the rooms have been decorated so far. As it was the hotel room was tired and the decor (and TV!) outdated.
- The pool area (inc. steam room & sauna) was just ok. I expected it to be sumptuous and inviting, but it wasn't. The steam room and sauna were tiny and the jacuzzi didn't work on one of the days we were there. Similar facilities at my gym are much much better.
- The changing rooms for the pool / gym are in need of an upgrade. The wooden veneer was peeling, there were only 2 hairdryers and only 2 of the 4 showers were working. The shower cubicles were disgusting, the grout in the tiles covered in black mould.

Overall
I wouldn't recommend this hotel. I expected a little bit of luxury but it was average. If I had paid full price for my stay I would have been very very unhappy.

Stayed for one night only to try it. Got deal for upgraded room, including dinner, breakfast and a bottle of wine in the room on arrival. Bearing in mind we stayed here 2 weeks ago and it was below freezing outside, we didn't avail ourselves of the golf course or the walks around the grounds. Food good at dinner and breakfast but price of drinks very high (bottles of Suavignon @ over £30 and cocktails £9+). Would stay again and use as base for exploring area and may consider their in-situ chalets.
