Willowbeck Lodge

Stayed here last night whilst working away. From start to finish what an enjoyable experience. Andrew the owner greeted us at reception in a very friendly manner, the room was superb and probably the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed. The guiness on draft was perfect and then we get to the food. The food was beautifully presented and came out in no time. I had a 10oz steak that was cooked exactly how a requested. We even ended up staying up a little later than expected as we sat with a few residents and the owner putting the world to rights over a few more pints and brandies (sorry andrew for keeping you up 😂). The next morning breakfast was faultless with plenty of selection and the cooked breakfast was just what was needed after the night before. Andrew thank you for the wonderful service that you provided.

We had a lovely afternoon tea / funeral tea at willowbeck lodge. Truly a beautiful space inside and outside. The care and attention was very evident in every aspect, from the comforting selection of coffee, teas and refreshments to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was excellent with a variety of options. A very big thankyou to the staff, who were very attentive and kind making sure all guests felt supported and cared for throughout the afternoon. We would love to be back soon. Again thankyou to willbeck lodge.

We had a buffet meal here for my Nana's funeral tea last night. The food was incredible, all homemade and amazing quality. The staff were so attentive, helpful and kind. The dining space we used was just beautiful, so serene. Already planning on going back to the restaurant soon. The perfect end to the day ❤️ thank you all so much. ❤️

Stayed here last night for my partners birthday and it was perfect, lovely spacious room, the bathroom and the shower are amazing. From the moment we arrived the staff couldn't do enough for us, we had a few drinks in the afternoon, the staff brought them over to our table, we then had a perfect meal, followed by more drinks in the bar. Both of us really enjoyed our stay and will 100% be back. Thanks again Jon and Amy

Fantastic accommodation, and really good value for money! The breakfast (eggs benedict, pancakes etc ) is one of the best we have ever had! Staff and owners very friendly with excellent service too.

The Willowbeck Lodge is a little oasis close to the M6. The grounds are lovely. We stayed in Eva's cottage and it was decorated very tastefully. We had a small patio outside which was a treat after a long journey to relax. There were a couple of issues with the room as there was no mirror in the room to do your makeup or dry your hair. There is a mirror in the bathroom but no plugs nearby. The door to the bathroom wouldn't shut properly which was annoying. Lastly, some kind of privacy film or blinds on the large windows would help to give you a bit of privacy. In the evening we ate in the restaurant and the food was well priced and excellent. The communal areas are decorated tastefully and are very relaxing. Our breakfast experience wasn't great as I was served cold de-caff coffee, I requested scrambled eggs with my breakfast and only received a small tablespoon of eggs, the bacon was over done and the sausage was very pale. Most of the staff were really friendly and helpful. The young lady serving breakfast in the morning could try and smile a bit more. Overall a nice stop off when travelling.

This is our second stop here, and it won't be the last! Exceptional service, and a modern-designed room with a very chic en-suite. We stayed in Eva's, a little cottage overlooking a gorgeous garden and beautifully maintained pond. Dinner was delicious, beautifully prepared and cooked. I had octopus with padron peppers and chorizo from the grill, my husband a perfectly cooked steak. The creme brûlée was delicious, as was the chocolate bread and butter pudding. We both slept like stones in the quiet countryside night, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast, the French toast being extremely memorable - I wish I could make it half as well!|Thanks to Andrew and the team for a wonderful stay. We will see you again!

Owners unbelievably rude and I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Gave away our prebooked room with no warning to guests that had turned up without booking. Changed us to a different room, even though we had been very specific with our requirements. Then went absolutely mental when we complained. Offered us a bottle of alcohol, which we don't drink, and expected it to fix everything. When he realised I was recording the situation, he went even more irrational and aggressive following us to our car still shouting. Real shame as the building itself looked great. But not worth the hassle of the owner. Really upsetting experience after a long day and on our only holiday of the year. Ended up leaving and finding somewhere else. Would NOT recommend.
