The Leven Restaurant in Stockton-on-Tees

We booked in for two nights and although it was very clear light renovations and decorating we’re taking place Becky bent over backwards to ensure our stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed.We checked In early, which wasn’t a problem for her, the free continental breakfast was lovely, and the hotel was in a great location of StokesleyThis lovely couple ventured into this new business adventure a few months before Covid hit, I couldn’t begin to imagine the financial pressures they were hit with. The hospitality industry has suffered more than most but to hang onto a dream and be given so many bad reviews must be soul destroying.All too often people dive in without knowing or understanding the facts. Words in bad reviews are so damaging.This place is going to be amazing when it’s finished it’s not a huge hotel chain, its someones dream, be kind.Thanks Becky and good luck for the future. Will definitely book here again.

Nice enough room but only had shower no bath & long walk along corridors & up lots of stairs to get to my room. A cooked breakfast not available but would have been nice.

The new bar staff where very friendly and helpful however the Sunday lunch was very disappointing from microwaved Yorkshire puddings to lumpy mash potato and dirty cutlery.

We booked a room to stay while having some house renovations done. We were lucky enough to get one of the brand newly refurbished rooms which was really nicely done out. Our other room was awaiting refurbishment but this is a work in progress and if all rooms are refurbished to such a high standard then I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Rooms were imaculate and lovely and warm. They provided complementary breakfast. We have stayed there before and would definitely stay there again.

We really loved our stay here! It is a no frills, good value hotel. It is clean, comfortable, warm, amazing shower(!) and quiet with super helpful staff. We had room 1, it is worn in places and could do with some simple upgrades but the bed was sublime! I slept 11 hours the first night! Breakfast was £7.50, simple changes could help aid service like having tea/coffee out and not served individually - more options for each item in the continental breakfast inc. toast. Maybe some music, also quite cold in there. But considering for the 2 nighrs prior to our stay we were in a far more expensive/higher graded hotel where we literally didn't sleep - this place was great!

what I liked was one could smell the history in there from centuries past, I did sense a presence there, there was one original wall and lintel...fascinating and the old horse and carriage entrance is listed...the old cobbles just blew me away, but they do a cracking breakfast , a bit spartan if that's your take but I would say no more upgrading and uncover original walls....not everyone likes a disco.. !!

Horrendous. Cold and dingy room, shower took 10 minutes to warm up. TV did not work, was told they would leave TV remote with new batteries in reception as we were going out, when we returned nobody on reception and no remote. Asked about food and was told a private party were arriving so the chef would be too busy. Seems paying guests aren't as important. The private party were really noisy until almost 1.00am. This was supposed to be a relaxing break, but was ruined completely by an inconsiderate hotel owner, only interested in taking our money. Do not use.

The staff were really welcoming, friendly & helpful.The food was the best I've had in a long while & considering the high standard it is cheap for what it is.Rooms were clean & comfortable & are due to get even better as they are currently going through a refurbishment. (Which didn't affect our trip in the slightest)The staff & manageress should be proud, would definitely visit again.

Superb food and very friendly and attentive staff.
