Grathem Holidays from £196

This property was pretty cool. It sits on top of a hill and has goats right outside. There are lots of hiking trails nearby. We got there after 6:00pm, so they sent us an e-mail with instructions to get our room key that was privately put outside our room in a lockbox. The only thing I didn't like is there was still trash in our bathroom trashcan, but that won't ruin our review!

Not bad. Good location but hotel is not like in pictures

The hotel itself is lovely, you can see that a lot of effort has been put into the decor - especially the terrace area. Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy our stay too much. My partner ordered the mushroom risotto and let’s just say it did not sit well with him. On top of that it was the most overpriced food we ever had in a hotel. I ordered a starter soup and it was less the size than a cappuccino cup. My salad was 21 euros, which is already overpriced but then it was also disappointingly basic. A big chunk of green leaves with two round goats cheeses. Barely anything else. Maybe 2 chopped up tomatoes and 5-6 tiny pieces of cucumber. Less than a spoonful of apple ragout. In the morning light we saw that the toilet seat was very stained. It looked clean but that’s still unappealing and I hope they‘ll replace it. The shower drain was clogged up, too. So the bathroom can do overall with a better upkeep.

Nice rural and quiet location. Great breakfast and a pool.
