Rooms, staff, care to our dogs.
Food closes a little early (I think last orders were 7.45 ) but they were clear about this so we were able to plan in advance.

The property was exceedingly good. I do not know how long the full renovation has been, but it is in exceptional condition and all aspects of the operation are run in a top class way. The evening meal was a culinary delight and the breakfast freshly cooked to bespoke order.
We stayed in Room 3 which was wonderfully equipped and furnished very tastefully. My only criticism is that the room looks out onto the car park and such lacks a bit of privacy especially in the morning when it is necessary to keep the curtains closed. Also the room did not have a shower only a bath which I found a bit strange especially as the bathroom was very big.

My stay at The Fleece was exceptional, I had been concerned because of earlier negative reviews but all the staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and made my husband and I, & our dog, very welcome. We had a really lovely evening meal, the food was delicious & the presentation first rate. Our room was dog friendly with our own private entrance to the grounds & had everything we needed for our stay, including a bed, bowls towel and treats for our dog. It was a pity that we could only stay for one night but we will be back.
We would have preferred softer pillows & were only told as we checked out that this would have been arranged if we had asked. Maybe this could be included in the guest information in the room?

This has to be the highlight of our 7 week trip around the UK. This was the best accommodation. I have worked in hospitality and this location does a lot of things really well. Comfortable room, Very comfy bed, great in room facilities, wonderful bathroom - the list goes on.

Comfy, well equipped room, good quality food. Breakfast staff were friendly and efficient.
The service in the restaurant was probably the worst I have ever experienced! Twenty minutes after we were shown to our table nobody had come to take our order, we had to call a waiter, who seemed very put out, to take our order. We then had to wait for the wine list.
The food was okay, but the choices for vegetarians was very limited.

The hotel was excellent. My bedroom was large with a king bed, nespresso and tea making facilities, large TV and a lovely bathroom. Breakfast was freshly cooked and first class.
Nothing.

This is an immaculately clean, beautifully appointed place to stay around 5 miles from the M6. Perfect stop off point on our way to Scotland.
Food was delicious, in particular the breakfast. I had the best tomato omelette I’ve ever had.
All the staff were professional, warm and friendly.
We will definitely return. 😊
Nothing. All fantastic.

It was a great location on way home from Scotland to Manchester to see both Hadrians Wall and the Lakes. Amazing and modern interior, still like new.
Could do with instructions on shower.

This is an amazing hotel with great decor and welcoming staff. The food is really good and locally sourced. The library is a nice touch and it would be very difficult to improve on what the Fleece offers its guests. They seem to have thought of everything.
Highly recommended.
