Overall, the stay was pleasant - we checked in late after a party and checked out on time.
The room was spacious, but (perhaps because it was a mobility access room), it felt like a hospital room refurbished into a hotel.

Facilities were great and the staff were lovely. We had a really comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Only suggestion would be a few more veggie options on the restaurant menu?

All staff at this establishment are friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the chef was happy to accommodate my allergies which rarely happens!
Rooms are clean and the outdoor area and bar is an extra bonus!

We had a lovely stay at The Ridings. We didn’t stay in a room we were expecting from the photos when I booked, however it was still a nice room and was decorated lovely. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

I would highly recommend this property, we stayed here to see Beyoncé at the Tottenham Hot Spurs stadium and it was easy to travel to and from. Our room had an issue with the radiator but the staff on reception were quick to resolve this for us.

Amazing location, beautiful room and friendly staff. Only criticism would be the breakfast. I dont mind continental at all but the choice was very limited and for £20:i definitely would expect more variety.

Nice early check in. Walking a mile to work mainly through the beautiful grounds of what was a massive estate. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. The on site restaurant served an excellent selection of food. This hotel has only been open for 3 weeks but I’m sure it’s going to be a massive success!
Great location!

Fine stay with nice staff.
Nice functional place to stay for a night. Room was fine and clean. Nice touches, staff were lovely and friendly also milk served in a bottle, nice pottery cups. Could be nicer by having a way to keep the milk cool, or and a coffee machine but they have Nescafé sachets. Felt like it was trying to be swanky but not quite there. Breakfast- continental was £12 and then charged extra £3 for coffee plus included £3.70 service charge for a help yourself breakfast. Breakfast was sparse and food not replenished so not much selection. Asked for yoghurt & marmalade but they didn’t have any. I don’t mind paying a service charge ( they bought more toast when I asked) but surprised that coffee wasn’t included with breakfast !

Great Place For a Short Stay
I stayed for two nights. The staff were fantastic, really friendly and always making sure everything was ok.
The room was a good size, and the bed was really comfortable. Great bathroom too.
I had breakfast and dinner there. Breakfast was limited. The cafetiere had great coffee in it, but food was just some small baked pastries, a bit of cereal, and one type of ham and cheese.
Dinner was a great experience though. Can highly recommend their fish pie! The wine and drinks selection was really good.
Just a couple of points for improvement.
1).If arriving at night it can be difficult to understand where to go as the signage isn't easy to see. Putting lights on the signs, and then have a sign on the doors leading to the courtyard would help.
2) The room didn't have a desk to work on or drawers to put things in. There was plenty of space for something like that.
The woods around the location are lovely, and I know they have plans to develop the surroundings. I'd love to go back again when the work is done as I did enjoy my stay overall.
