The family who own the hotel were excellent hosts.
Food was exceptional.
Loved the old manor house with its slightly unraven floors amd squeeks all which I expect from a period property.
Rooms were clean and bright.
Nice grounds where you can sit with your glass of wine and if you require any information on wine choice, Alan, one of the owners is extreemly well versed in this field.
When I travel to the North East the Hardwicke Manor Hotel near Hartlepool is where I will stay.

I enjoyed my stay at Hardwicke Hall Manor Hotel. It's an old hall, with a long history. The building certainly has plenty of character. The room I slept in was up on the top floor overlooking service buildings at the back - I imagine it was originally staff quarters, or perhaps a storage room. The room was very spacious, with a good sized bathroom, and a large comfortable bed. I appreciated a cordless kettle, desk, TV, and an armchair. The WIFI worked well while I was there. The room was perfectly clean.
The morning breakfast was traditional full English, with a choice of yogurts and assorted cereals. Not the greatest range of options, but it was well prepared. The staff that I met were delightful, helpful, and a pleasure to talk to.
Parking was not entirely without concern, as the space is shared with other businesses. The surface is mostly loose gravel, with some tarmac. The surrounding grounds are very pleasant. I experienced no unwanted noise during my short visit, no banging or shouting from neighbouring rooms at all.
I would definitely recommend Hardwicke Hall Manor Hotel based on my own experience.
From stepping in to reception area we received a warm welcome both by staff and an engaging fire set within a characteristic fireplace.
It’s an aged hotel/Manor House with lots of charm, wood panelling, beautiful staircase.
Cleanliness was superb along with the standard of food. We enjoyed a perfect stay!
