Just returned from a three day stay at Matfen Hall and what a superb hotel!.....The re-furbishment work is truly stunning with amazing rooms and lounges to relax in. The bedrooms are 5 star, the food in the hotel and the golf clubhouse was excellent and the staff were all so very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts in the hotel were also excellent, the hotel and grounds were maintained to a very high standard. The only issue we had was that our room close to the spa was extremely warm but we were moved to a room with patio doors which solved the problem. This is one of the best hotels we have stayed in and once the new golf driving range and golf course improvements are implemented next year together with a new spa being constructed it really will be something special!....well done to all the staff at Matfen Hall!

I went to Matfen Hall for afternoon tea with my daughter in the snug today and it was honestly the best I’ve ever had. Everything was absolutely delicious tasty and fresh. Will definitely be going back with friends in the near future. Staff were very attentive and friendly too.

A beautiful hotel, set in lovely grounds with glorious views! Impossible to recommend too highly! We stayed a week & had the most wonderful holiday! We were 3 generations, the youngest being too young to be completely alone but too old for no privacy, so we got two interconnecting bedrooms (one sealed from the outside), each with its own bathroom, with Dinner, Bed & Breakfast. It was a great deal and it really worked - the breakfasts are so generous that they keep even a teenager going until evening! And if you fancy a walk around the grounds before breakfast but would like an espresso in the bar first, that’s no problem: it’s prepared instantly, it tastes really good, and you’re not charged extra. Matfen is no cheapskate. Trips to its lovely, light & airy swimming pool are pure pleasure, because the water’s just the right temperature & they provide everything you could possibly need; there are loads of outdoor games like croquet or badminton; they lent us a putter & 3 balls so we could putt whenever, and it was a brilliant thing to do early in the morning or late in the evening. It’s impossible to list everything that’s great about this hotel, but it’s first-class at every level. You never see anyone cleaning, but it’s spotless, with all the brasswork glowing; clothes come back, carefully laundered, the same day; the gardens are immaculate, but wonderfully imaginative, and you can spend hours working out the different planting schemes, or simply enjoying them; the Keepers golf club is welcoming, with a nice terrace where you can enjoy a drink or a meal, and offering lessons from the kindest, most patient pro on the planet, with state of the art equipment; the chefs are all in a class of their own … Anyone reading this will be asleep by now, so I’ll stop, but not before saying that the jewel in Matfen’s crown is its staff - without exception, they are incredibly competent, hard-working and genuinely friendly, and will go to great lengths to ensure that guests are comfortable. I hope their hospitality will never be abused.

I was looking forward to my birthday treat and it was a huge disappointment. The food was very overpriced for what it was and I think that if you have a set price menu, £ 60 for two courses and £70 for three you shouldn't then have to pay extra for any vegetables. the chips to go with our fish were £6 per portion. The best part of our four day stay were the staff who were absolutely delightful

Matfen Hall is a great place to stay, and is set in a wonderful location. We have stayed many times and I'm sure we will stay many more. We have just returned from our latest, four night stay (09th-13th July). Unfortunately on the 11th July we found the breakfast service very poor, not what would be expected from a 5 star hotel! Breakfast started well and our main course order was taken, we noticed guests which came after us were served before us. Eventually I asked a member of the dining room staff, if we had been forgotten ( that was obviously the case) and she said 'no'. We waited a further 15 minutes and eventually we were presented with a cooked breakfast which, must have been kept warm for some time under a halogen lamp? the sausage was dry and shrivelled, the mushrooms had the texture of rubber etc. This food should not have been served, and should have gone in the bin. We entered the dining room at 09.30am and left at 11am (after all the other guests had departed) it should have been noticed that we had not been served, especially when we were seated in the centre of the dining room. We also had to request butter, milk and toast (which had previously been ordered to accompany the cooked breakfast). The toast arrived after we had finished breakfast. I came out of the dining room and made my disappointing experience known to the lady on reception. As it was 11.00am, meaning many guests were checking out, I did get the impression that she wasn't interested!!

Arrived to a lovely welcome from receptionist for our Sunday lunch the setting is beautiful a bit of work going on to improve facilities but all very discreet not interfering with what was a lovely relaxing afternoon. The lunch was excellent and great value both food and service excellent. We sat out on patio afterwards for coffee’s, James was very attentive as were all of the staff we encountered we will definitely be back

I was recently invited to play Matfen Hall by current members who were quite literally embarrassed by the state of the golf course — and it’s not hard to see why. Once known for having some of the finest greens in the North East, Matfen has completely fallen into decline. The greens are a disgrace — covered in black mould, riddled with disease, pitted with holes, and so uneven that the ball won’t even roll in a straight line. The tees are in equally shocking condition — many of them resemble practice mats or poorly maintained temporary surfaces. Despite this, the club is only replacing 9 greens out of 18, leaving the others untouched, even though they’re also in dreadful shape. Worse still, the new greens have been designed with shape and interest, while the rest are flat, uninspired and completely out of place — making for a jarring and inconsistent round. Members were saying that there’s no clear communication about when the rest will be fixed, and members are being charged full fees to play on a substandard course. Guests not playing with members are charged £80 per round which is disgraceful. Even the £40 I paid was crazy as I wouldn't go back if it was free. You’d expect some sort of concession or reduced fee given the course is half-finished, but instead, you’re paying top dollar for what feels like a temporary municipal set-up. The truth is, the golf course is clearly not a priority here — it’s all about the hotel and spa. Meanwhile, those passionate about the game are being completely let down. Clubhouse is new but the prices are ridiculous. Why the clubhouse was prioritized above the golf course is beyond me. Golf first as this attracts people to the facility then the membership and visitors grow. If you don't prioritize golf, members leave and guests won't come and will share far and wide how bad the course is. Avoid at all costs. There are dozens of better courses across the North East offering better conditions, better value, and more respect for the sport. This is not one of them.

Writing this review from the beautiful Matfen Hall, where we've just enjoyed a truly unforgettable anniversary celebration. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the immaculate grounds and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff have been exceptional..attentive, professional, and genuinely thoughtful throughout our stay. A special thank you to Chey, who went above and beyond to make our celebration even more memorable. We were touched to find an incredibly generous anniversary gift waiting for us in our room upon returning from dinner, a thoughtful gesture that truly elevated our experience. Our stay has been absolutely faultless in every way. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking luxury, tranquility, and top-tier service.
