We had a lovely stay at The Ridings. We didn’t stay in a room we were expecting from the photos when I booked, however it was still a nice room and was decorated lovely. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

This hotel is in a lovely setting. It hasn’t been opened long so there are a few areas that need to be developed more, but the staff are all so professional and deal with any issues fairly and efficiently.
The restaurant staff especially Luke are a real asset to the hotel. Luke is so friendly but also very professional which is what made our meals in the restaurant so enjoyable.
Compliments to the new chef , the fish pie was the best we have ever tasted.
So often in reviews the cleaners do not get a mention so I want to say that Gemma who cleaned our room went above and beyond in her role.
The hotel is really developing in the right direction and we look forward to experiencing this each time we stay in the future. Sally Waller.
I would highly recommend this property, we stayed here to see Beyoncé at the Tottenham Hot Spurs stadium and it was easy to travel to and from. Our room had an issue with the radiator but the staff on reception were quick to resolve this for us.
It was an unusual place, but clean and unique. The Main gate was broken, old and padlocked. No directions for Ubers or travelers to use the other entrance. Our transport cancelled itself and made things a challenge trying to explain how a driver needed to gain access especially when you are a guest. The Food exceptional.
Lovely location. Stayed in the old part of the hotel which was a bit surprising as the pictures on the booking site didn't match the room my parents got. So, maybe update the booking form to reflect that. It wasn’t an issue for us. The room my parents got was big and nice. They enjoyed the bed and how peaceful it was. Unfortunately, the lift was out of order which was a problem as we had a very heavy suitcase to drag up the stairs. Again, we managed it. We didn't try the restaurant as we ran out of time sadly.
Excellent accommodation in the Restaurant accommodation block for wheelchair users. The shower room was luxurious with its double shower!
New signage to find the restaurant block was better than my previous stay - but still needs a little improvement (the taxi driver dropped my friend at the Reception house). New disabled parking bays are great - but could be wider (to allow fully open car doors) and more clearly marked out. It is a great hotel in beautiful surroundings. I wish I had been able to know about the history of the buildings and the estate.
Lovely and quiet set in woodland down a long private driveway.
Rooms are great with the lovely twist of being around a central courtyard.
Restaurant kept to the philosophy of less choice but better quality, even the basic burger was lovely.
Lovely stay at this picturesque hotel. Friendly staff. Beautiful restaurant. Clean and offers lovely grounds to walk around.
Breakfast could be a little better.

Simplicity and comfort
Clean and simple with an excellent restaurant and staff.
Amazing location, beautiful room and friendly staff. Only criticism would be the breakfast. I dont mind continental at all but the choice was very limited and for £20:i definitely would expect more variety.
I stayed for two nights. The staff were fantastic, really friendly and always making sure everything was ok.
The room was a good size, and the bed was really comfortable. Great bathroom too.
I had breakfast and dinner there. Breakfast was limited. The cafetiere had great coffee in it, but food was just some small baked pastries, a bit of cereal, and one type of ham and cheese.
Dinner was a great experience though. Can highly recommend their fish pie! The wine and drinks selection was really good.
Just a couple of points for improvement.
1).If arriving at night it can be difficult to understand where to go as the signage isn't easy to see. Putting lights on the signs, and then have a sign on the doors leading to the courtyard would help.
2) The room didn't have a desk to work on or drawers to put things in. There was plenty of space for something like that.
The woods around the location are lovely, and I know they have plans to develop the surroundings. I'd love to go back again when the work is done as I did enjoy my stay overall.
