Hotel Newfield Hall (Skipton, United Kingdom)

If peace and quiet is what you are after, then Newfield Hall is the place for you. The hotel is set in the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of town life, never mind city life, and is very tranquil.

Food at Newfield Hall is well regarded by guests past and present. There is a wide selection to choose from at breakfast time, including cooked options, while the lunch consists of a packed lunch which can be taken out on walks through the beautiful local countryside. The evening dinner menu gets positive reviews too and is made using local produce where possible.

As you might expect from a large manor house, the rooms at Newfield Hall are on the large side. The spacious nature of the rooms at this hotel helps guests to feel more comfortable, especially if they have been out and about exploring during the day.

A number of guests have complained that visiting Newfield Hall feels like being in a school canteen, as they are told they have to sit with strangers at breakfast time at communal tables. Some guests find this very annoying, and that it has put a dampener on their overall experience.

Wi-Fi is advertised as being free at Newfield Hall, but as can be the case in older buildings, the Wi-Fi does not always work depending on which part of the hotel you are in. Guests find this frustrating.

One gripe common among non-group visitors is that Newfield Hall is geared up to take groups of walkers as guests. Unfortunately this means that solo visitors or couples can feel excluded, and that staff are not paying them enough attention.
