Excellent! The best (small) hotel we have stayed at! The staff were simply fantastic, very friendly and helpful which helped to make our stay easy and relaxing.

10/10 Exceptional

Peacefully set close to an attractive waterfall in upper Teesdale, the High Force hotel is very professionally run. Our room (9) was spacious and well appointed, with good heating. The quality of food and its presentation was good, though we would have liked some variety in the menu from night to to night. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return.
