Lovely overnight stay
Stayed before the hotel was renovated. Now everything is lovely and tastefully decorated. Very calm amd relaxing. Food and service excellent. Room 8 was a little small but perfect for a 1 night stay, ensuite immaculate. Would recommend staying and doing the low force to high force walk on the opposite side of the river.

Good venue, brilliant staff.
Fantastic service throughout our stay at this unique hotel.
The dinner and breakfast were excellent and nothing was too much trouble.
The only slight negative is the size of the classic room.! A tad snug.

Peacefully set close to an attractive waterfall in upper Teesdale, the High Force hotel is very professionally run. Our room (9) was spacious and well appointed, with good heating.
The quality of food and its presentation was good, though we would have liked some variety in the menu from night to to night.
We enjoyed our stay and would happily return.
