Lack of staff in the Claret Jug when we arrived at lunch time. The bar was busy with people wanting food and drink. Only one member of staff behind the bar. When it came to my turn I asked for a drink and the menu for food only to be told they weren’t doing food as he was on his own and that it may be after 2pm and he was closing the bar. He told us to go upstairs. As we walked into the upstairs re was a large queue (all been sent from downstairs). I find it hard to believe that this is a quality hotel which was golf course was full all day and no staff in the bar. Not a good start to our golf break. The rest of the stay was good.

Room was lovely, very comfy bed toiletries a bit basic. Coffee/tea facilities were also basic, breakfast tea and coffee sachets. Quite a shock to the system as hotel was very busy and not really much social distancing or face masks especially in busy areas. Most staff also chose not to wear face masks which was quite surprising, especially when government are still recommending masks worn in busy areas. Lack of staff and I thin experience of staff was pretty obvious, took us two hours to have our dinner in the restaurant, then I had to go up to ask the waiting staff for our sweets. Tables very slow to be cleared and prepped for next guests, same applied at breakfast. Hardly any visible staff, no bread for toaster, no fried eggs left, no milk for cereal, lots of empty trays. This spoilt the experience, when we came out from breakfast huge queues had formed which might not have happened had tables been promptly cleared and prepped. Beautiful place lots of nice little nooks and crannies and nice seated outdoor areas. Would be a good idea to have a matrede in the dining room to make sure everybody is utilised as efficiently as possible.

Such a shame the place is running short staffed. When you wait 45 minutes between your main course & your desert & the chips were cold. I am not a complainer, I sympathise with the staff, the chips were cold as there was probably no one to bring them out. Just like the deserts would have been, if they weren't deserts! The new thing with Slaley Hall is, If you want fresh towels, toiletries, t bag or coffee you have to ask? As they do not service your room until the "Third" day/night of your stay. Sorry to all the hard working staff, but your employer isnt helping you guys, your jobs or their reputation. As their standards are way down.

Course is well laid out but the rough was deadly lost ball everytime entered it. The greens had been Hollow Tyned so the actual putting surface was poor but had that not been the case the greens would have been very challenging. Unfortunately due the numbers playing progress was slow but the fantastic scenery made up for that disappointment. Obviously due to the increased popularity of golf and the aftermath of lockdown the number of golfers on the course has increased I think a Course Marshall would have been a good idea if only to remind players of golf etecate and to help look for lost balls.

We enjoyed the Priestman Course, but not quite as much as the Hunting Course. It's a bit tighter, but makes good use of the natural contours. Course condition was good, but the Hunting Course was better. Got round in 4 hours which wasn't bad considering how busy it was. Good course, though, and a pleasant complement to the Hunting Course.

We enjoyed the Hunting Course. It's a long track, but we were in buggies which helped the weary bones. The course condition was excellent, the greens very fast but consistent. Only slight criticism, and not of the course itself, was we experienced a man walking across a fairway with a small child on his shoulders, seemingly oblivious to the danger of doing so, even when it was pointed out to him. In a similar vein, small children playing in the sand bunkers beside the 9th green. They knew they shouldn't have been there though. A great course, in great condition.

An outstanding golf course with varying degrees of difficulty it offers high reward for risk, good Bertie opportunities combined with very difficult long path falls. Situated in stunning surroundings it was a real pleasure to play a course in such good condition in the middle of October.

The course layout is above average with the fairways tea boxes and general length of grass from fairway second cut to rough or on point. However the greens in particular were very poor and were probably suffering as a consequence of a very long hot summer however there were too many bare patches with long grass making the ball jumping around. The bunkers were not in very good condition either with very inconsistent amounts of sand. But all in all playing with five friends it was fun And we would most certainly play the course again.

very challenging course. for many holes you have to hit very big and quite accurate off the tee to give yourself any chance of making the green in regulation. The course definitely got the better of my friends and I, but we enjoyed the challenge of playing it all the same.

Fantastic course. We found some holes quite sheltered and others very exposed to the wind. Good range of challenges to contend with across the 18 holes. good variety of length of holes.
