Aldwark is an excellent hotel . Refurbished the rooms are well furnished with good quality furniture. Breakfast was great, good quality ingredients . Day 1 was buffet service, and the food/plates weren't't very warm. Day 2 it was waiter service with hot, first class ingredients. Our evening meal in Elements was very enjoyable. Great steak, which was extremely well cooked.Downsides - no A/C, and window restrictors which only allowed a small volume of air in. Duvets were summer duvets, and far too hot, which meant we were too hot overnight.
Also small touches were overlooked. We were given 3 hangers, there was no mirror adjacent to the hair dryer, the shower had no shelf for shampoo/soap etc.Room lighting was poor, dark shades and too dark to read comfortably.
Would we stay again - yes but not during summer months.
