I have used Farlam Hall on many occasions and it has never ever failed to impress me. It is very English Country House without being stuffy. It is very welcoming the food is marvellous and the rooms are all different and unique in their own way but equally they are all wonderful. If you want to splash out on a... More

Visited Farlam Hall, with a quiet 6 momth old child, for afternoon tea with friends to be told, arrogantly, that no children under 5 allowed. No mention on telephone when booking made. Pretentious and arrogant staff and sarcastic remarks made about a special diet requirement for an adult. Didn't take it up on the day as I didn't want to... More

For those perhaps more familiar with ''Mercure'' type basic hotels, it should be noted that Farlam Hall is a traditional English country house hotel with decor and old fashioned attitudes to good service to match.

I was up graded to a large room and had a wonderful nights sleep (very rare for me in hotels!). I did eat dinner at the hotel and the food was excellent (they catered very well... More

Many places describe themselves as “country house hotels”. Few actually actually achieve the aim of making you feel almost like you’ve been invited to someone’s home for the night. Farlam Hall hits the mark on all counts. There’s a lovely building in lovely surroundings. You’re welcomed at the front door by a member of the family and immediately offered afternoon... More

Stayed for two nights on full board terms. One of those few places where the owners have managed to strike a perfect balance between relaxation, without abandoning appropriate formality, and the maintenance of high standards both in accomodation and in the kitchen. Nothing was too much trouble and all the staff displayed a sympathetic understanding of what was required. If... More

The bedrooms lacked nothing and the bed was just right for a back sufferer. The service was very good and helpful. Dinner was excellent but some fresh fruit would be a good addition for breakfast. More
