The Ivy Tree

Anniversary weekend Lovely place, very clean and nicely furnished, lovely food with a fabulous breakfast although a little pricey. Great staff, very helpful and friendly.

bar , food lovely. room 5 absolutely stank, the bathroom must of had blocked draina or something. very hot stuffy room

Don’t stay if you want sleep! Not the place to go if you want a good nights sleep. In the ground floor rooms you can hear every footstep taken in the rooms above extremely loudly. Was woken up at 11pm, 2am and 6am on the first night. When asked if I could change rooms was reassured that the room above mine would be empty the next night and I wouldn’t be disturbed but once again I was awoken through the night. Room also had lots of spiders in it, especially the shower which had 2 dead spiders and 2 live ones inside. Bed was very comfortable and bedding and towels were clean. Struggled to check out because the bar was closed and we hadn’t been told that it might be closed, so didn’t know that there was a box to drop keys in behind another locked door - took about 15 minutes to figure this out and manage to leave. Didn’t try the breakfast because it was expensive, but dinner from the pub was average.

Stayed with work as my usual Middlesbrough hotel prices were sky high. This place is Ace. Free parking, comfy, rooms and the food was amazing.

Very friendly welcome, and superb service during breakfast, which was fantastic. Couldn’t ask for more

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
