    Cozy atmosphere with friendly staff made our stay enjoyable. Breakfast cooked to order was top-notch. The Wi-Fi connection was frustratingly poor. Super close to great hiking trails, perfect for a weekend getaway.

    We had a lovely stay at High Force Hotel! The room was cozy with a comfortable bed and a charming view of the stunning surroundings. Breakfast was outstanding, cooked to order with a fantastic variety to choose from. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home.

    cozy atmosphere
    quality breakfast
    limited space

    Cozy log fires set a cute atmosphere, perfect for winding down after a long day. Breakfast options stood out, cooked to order and offering a nice variety, making for a solid start to the day.

    The location can feel quite isolated, especially for those seeking additional amenities or options beyond the immediate hotel. Some rooms overlook a busy road, so be prepared for potential noise if that's your situation. Wardrobe space seemed cramped, with a lack of personal areas like a dressing table, which might be inconvenient for some travelers.

    food wait

    I had a delightful stay at High Force, where the staff's warmth shone through. The cozy atmosphere made it easy to relax after my day of exploring the stunning natural surroundings, particularly the nearby waterfall. The breakfast offered a nice variety, though a bit of a wait for food occurred during peak times.

    lovely garden
    sun terrace
    cramped room

    Our stay was fantastic! We enjoyed relaxing in the lovely garden area and the sun terrace, soaking up the beautiful views. The only downside was that the room felt a bit cramped with furniture, but it didn't take away from our overall experience. 😊

    lovely décor
    spacious bathroom
    clean amenities
    small room
    snug space

    The small double room was snug but worked well for our one-night stay. The décor was really lovely and felt high-end. The en suite bathroom was surprisingly spacious and super clean. The toiletries were nice. It was a cozy space that made us feel comfortable, even if it was a bit on the smaller side. Nice touches overall!

    A Relaxing Group Getaway

    We enjoyed a warm and inviting atmosphere with great food. The veggies stood out, though a little more meat in the dishes would enhance the dining experience. A dog-friendly environment made our stay enjoyable. Future guests should look for the dog-friendly areas, a real bonus!

    friendly staff
    delicious dishes
    long service wait
    slightly dated decor
    room size limitations

    Staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, contributing positively to the overall experience. The evening meal was fantastic, and breakfast followed suit with delicious dishes. The room was cosy and well-kept, with comfortable bedding and an immaculate ensuite. there was a bit of a wait for service during dinner, and the decor felt slightly dated in some areas.
