Hotels near BrightHouse, Hartlepool

A newly fitted friendly very clean venue that was highly recommended. I have had to significantly update my perceptions of Travel Lodge

The service was very good, got checked in early with no issues. The rooms are standard but warm and very clean and comfortable beds. The breakfast was good a good selection. Never got bar food so can't comment but the staff were all very helpful and polite. Would stay here again.

Wonderful stay at this central location. Very welcoming reception upon arrival and the customer service was fantastic. The comfortable room and hot breakfast was perfect for our business stay. Would recommend.

It suited our needs. The place itself is ok, Mary the lady in charge was great. The place itself was really tatty and needed some money spent on it. Doors not fitted properly, no carpet on the stairs. Paint coming off the ceiling. Wires everywhere in the room.

funeral reception booked for today 29th may, @ 2.15pm. the family come from australia for the funeral and i done the booking.i got to the pub at 2pm to find empty tables. 1 barmaid starting to put cups and saucers out,followed by an urn for the boiling water for the 20 coffee,s and 20 t,s that had been paid for.people started to turn up,its now 2.30pm and still empty tables, the 1 barmaid knew nothing of the reception and was very apologetic, i asked ref managers ,under managers and was told only 1 manager onsite but she was upstairs.no boiling water for the hot drinks ,no milk, no spoons, no serviettes, the machine was not switched on so nobody had tea or coffee.by now ive asked 3 people where is the food , and told it would be 5 to 10 minutes.about 14.45pm the food started to arrive some out in the passage way,not good.now this has been my local for 24 years and i feel totally embarresed that this was the best they could do with visitors from the other side of the world,poor poor service, the 2 girls were run ragged, but this is down to management, so lay your heads down in shame for a disgraceful exhibition, so the way i see it a refund for the hot drinks that could not be had is due as a minimum starting point.disgraceful and embarrassing.

The drive up to the castle was was fantastic as the view of the castle looked stunning. The entrance to the court yard for parking was quaint and inviting. The look of the court yard looking at all the out buildings looked inviting and very well presented. The “stocks” make for great entertainment The entrance to the reception is like looking for the secret door but the plaque at the side with history information explains why and is interesting to read. Inside the reception is is quite dark but this for me added to the ambience of the place. The staff where welcoming, polite and explained the hotel set up. We stayed in one of the room in the courtyard which was beautiful. Very nicely decorated and good value for money. The room was cozy. We’d booked to have a meal in the Knights Restaurant and we had pre drinks in the bar first The walk to the restaurant through the corridor into the central courtyard was very different yet beautiful. It’s so old and it was nice to see it was decorated and kept within “keeping” The bar again was inviting and cosy and it was great to see that the drinks and wine list was very reasonably priced. So often places know you are a target audience and inflate the prices ridiculously however in our opinion the castle had not done this. There was a good choice of cocktails and the “smoked” cocktails added that something a little bit different and we didn’t mind paying a few pounds more for the “quirkiness”. Again the staff where very professional, friendly and well presented. The walk from the bar/lounge area to the Knights Restaurant was stunning through the corridors of the castle and past a lovely looking staircase and when we walked into the restaurant I was overwhelmed as it was stunning and not what I was expecting. The arched ceiling, the lighting, the privacy of how the tables where set out we felt was very nice. We thought it all created a romantic setting. It was very secluded but included. The menu choice was good and the food was beautiful. The service was great too and again the staff were very professional, polite and very well presented. The prices on the menu varied so I would say they’d catered fo most people’s budget and it was your own choice on how much you spend Our nights sleep was comfortable and the walk back from the restaurant to the courtyard was well lit but again in keeping with been in a castle environment. Great use of mood lighting. My husband even went into the stocks on the was home (🤣) Breakfast the next morning again did not disappoint. The selection was fantastic and plenty of food to choice from Overall we can can not fault our experience. It was a lively venue with great facilities and very well presented. The staff where Courteous, polite, friendly and very well presented. I would recommend this as a place to go and stay. We must go back so we can stay in one of the castle rooms as I am sure they would be as good and maybe even more “quirkier” than the courtyard rooms which were very nice.
