We really enjoyed our stay. We have been before and always have a lovely time. The staff are friendly and helpful.The Spa is amazing and very clean and relaxing. We love it here. The only thing was the change of menu and choices, last time the menu and the food was amazing. This time the menu and food was more pub grub than restaurant style. It was ok but not the best. Although breakfast was amazing lots of choice and everything you could wish for. I

Lovely massive hotel. Spa/pool/thermal suites really good Lovely food Nice, friendly staff apart from Sara the lady behind the bar who was rude to her co worker in front of customers. Very unprofessional! Rooms could do with sound proofing as can even hear toilet habits of people in the room above!

Stayed 3rd September 2022

Pleasantly surprised at the standard of accommodation and the general ambience of the hotel. Staff pleasant and service good. Dining room well organised. Breakfast was amongst the best.

Stayed 2nd September 2022

A lovely setting and interesting history to the hotel,originally a castle with additional blocks added on,which makes it have a lot of corridors,but fine once you get used to it. The weather was lovely so had a drink outside and then took advantage of the pool for a swim before dinner. All the staff were very welcoming, the restaurant team were very helpful both in the evening and at breakfast.

Lovely hotel with spacious rooms. We were upgraded on arrival which was really nice. Everything you need is in the room including an undercounter fridge. (ventilation needed as the fridge caused the sideboard to get really hot) staff are very attentive and polite. Food was amazing and presentation was outstanding. Spa was open but have to say there was 3 steam rooms but only one worked. Huge lovely pool with swim in sauna. Locals mentioned that it had went downhill since reopening. My first impression was WOW when I first entered only to find not all perfect. Some blocked off doors as well which makes me think there's more to come perhaps. Will be back again.

Our mistake in turning up a day early. Reception were very kind and managed to accommodate us. Room clean and tidy and bed v comfortable. Curtains well fitted, ensuring total room darkness. V good. Generous bathroom with both bath and separate shower. Enjoyed dinner first night but service was really slow! Two hours plus was a lot of waiting time between courses. I know there was a large wedding party going on but the restaurant was just plain understaffed. We last stayed here back in the late eighties. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

Great value hotel for the price. Fantastic room. Staff lovely and really helpful. We arrived on Thursday and it was difficult to get a drink at the bar due to no staff. They did give us all complimentary drink with our evening meal.

Hotel was great the staff were brilliant. The food was overpriced and tasteless. Some of the food was also overcooked and dry.

Stayed 14th May 2022

Myself and My partner recently stayed here I was blown away with how clean and lovely the hotel was and not to forgot how lovely all the staff members are we were all inclusive for dinner and breakfast and complements to the chef and the dinner was absolutely amazing! The only slight downfall for our trip away was how warm the room was we loved the room just not the heat of it as it was above the pool we are all ready planning our next trip to here but will remember to ask to be put away from the pool as the heat was unbearable at points

We enjoyed our break at Dunkenhalgh Hotel and Spa. Very welcoming staff. Evening meal and breakfasts were of a high standard, plenty choice. Attentive staff. Dunkenhalgh is centrally placed in Northern England, with good motorway links. Even with these links, it is peaceful and rural.

Smooth check in, lovely big room. Came here on the dinner bed and breakfast. Enjoyed the food a lot and had a really good time. The only feedback I would give is that when guests have finished eating give them a minute or two before whipping away the plates. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and I really enjoyed it. Lots of options veggie wise for my wife. She did ask for just vanilla ice cream as a dessert and was told that there was none. However I got vanilla ice cream with my sticky toffee pudding which seems a bit strange. So overall we had a really good time. I did say on the booking that I booked for our wedding anniversary. It would have been nice to have someone on reception acknowledge this I'm not a suggesting we should get something for nothing. Just a simple "We hope you enjoyed your anniversary while here" it's those little things that leave a lasting impression. Overall though very impressive thank you.
