Myself and my family stayed at The Bowes Incline hotel for 2 nights, to attend a family wedding. I cannot speak kindly enough of the staff, and how well the place is run! The rooms are deluxe, I was in Room 3 and my family were in rooms 12 and 13? We all saw all 3 rooms and they are spotlessly clean, modern and stylish! Breakfast was included in our tariff, and guests were requested to fill out their breakfast order the night before. No problem with that. We had dinner in the restaurant on the night of our arrival, where the food was absolutely delicious and plentiful (the value for money really is tremendous) - personally I chose the Posh Cheese on Toast and the Smash Burger. I'm a big eater, but I was beaten by these two courses alone so couldn't quite stretch to a dessert! Food was absolutely fantastic. After that, and a delicious breakfast served by a cheerful general manager, we disappear to get ready for the wedding only to have our taxi to the wedding venue cancelled. Admittedly quite stressful, although the staff really did shine here, first offering to round up taxi numbers for us - but after we had no luck with each of the taxi companies, the General Manager and one of the chefs took us in their personal cars. With this alone, it's fair to say the team go above and beyond for their guests - and clearly they really do care. Absolutely lovely people, running a clearly very successful business. Being in the hospitality trade myself, it's awesome to see another local business doing a brilliant trade, with truly passionate staff. The staff knew what they were doing, in the restaurant and hotel alike. I would absolutely, without a doubt, stay here again. I only wish I were more local to dine more frequently in the Restaurant. However, a 5.5 hour drive may be a tad bit of a stretch for a dinner, unfortunately. Many thanks to the staff at The Bowes Incline for their hospitality, which did not go unnoticed within my family whatsoever.
