We stayed at the Temple Sowerby Hotel en route to Scotland, it was a quiet Wednesday evening at the beginning of February. The staff were very friendly, great welcome. The dinner was excellent and was worthy of accolades and wouldn't be out of place within the Michelin fold. Breakfast delicious and fresh. We would stay here again, if I have... More

The beds were extremely comfortable, the bathroom well stocked... More

We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed a leisurely drink in the intimate and well stocked bar before sitting down to a delicious supper in the conservatory dining room. Our bedroom was comfortable with... More
