The Ivy Tree

The accommodation impresses with top drawer breakfast, friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a convenient yet quiet location near the city center.

Yet another super friendly, comfortable stay, even down to the friendly welcome card on my breakfast table. Nothings too much, and everyone was super friendly even when I arrived for breakfast 5 minutes before it finished. This is my definite go to whenever I’m in the northeast working from now on

Clean, fresh with great food and staff Pros : Great welcome from Jack. Shown to room 3 which was a double en-suite. Perfectly adequate for us. Nice clean bedding and a clean shower and wc. The room was tastefully decorated with quality furnishings. A small compact room with a well stocked tea tray. The weather was lovely so it was great to open the window fully for a nice breeze. All the towels were fresh and nice and thick. Soaps, shower cap and body wash all supplied. Easy parking with a nice outside garden area which we enjoyed sitting in the sunshine with family. Compliments to the chefs here. Pork belly bites particularly good. All the dishes we enjoyed and again, the mince and onion pie of the day was lovely. A very nice breakfast with good quality ingredients too. Cons: Nothing to complain about but just a couple of things to mention. The shower cubicle is very snug. The green light on the ceiling was very bright at night. Flat batteries in the tv remote so it wouldn’t work. Not really an issue as we stayed just the one night. To summarise: Every member of staff we were served by were so lovely and professional. We will most certainly return when back in the area. Thank you
