This is above a pub 2 minutes from the station. Eaglescliffe is a nice place to stay though there isn't much around the station to look at. The hotel is a bit basic but clean and good value for money.
The hotel was fine for what was paid for , it’s a busy pub and nice restaurant and feels like the rooms are an after thought not really the focus of the business . The staff were polite , the area was nice with amenities nearby . I would stay again
Me and my partner stayed for the weekend and enjoyed the hotel which was very spacious and the bed was comfy. The food in the pub was also amazing and would definitely book again
The room was spatious, clean and had all the basic amenities. I was pleasantly surprised considering the price and I'd definately stay again when I'm in the area.
Food in the pub was also smashing, decently priced homemade food and you get a generous serving. Service was quick and staff friendly.

Solid comfy stay , could do with an update .
Lady doing check in was lovely , super friendly and helpful . Couple of issues resolved quickly after a few laughs . TV positioning and size bizarre . Would recommend displaying WIFI login details in the rooms in future . Room needs a bin , not just a bathroom bin . Good close parking, big spacious room with a nice comfy sofa . Lots of potential in room , but in need of updating .

Acceptable considering daily rate when compared to other hotels
The accommodation was basic, there was no chair in the room and only one light switch was put on all the lights. A bit cold in the night.
The chef was on holiday so no food was available.
Very handy for the station.
I have stayed before in this place - just on this occasion very slow to get in my room and no towels and it was dirty this time . I would stay again though
Very convenient for the station, basic but fine for my needs, just needed to get my head down ready for a meeting in the morning

Basic backstreet boozer.
The TV did not work and staff unable to fix.
The pub was very basic and did not sell real ale, so I watched TV in the pub without a drink! Rooms adequate but single bed very short for the taller person. Not much in the vicinity, unless you go into Stockton.

Great having private access to the rooms, however the stairs are very steep. The room had everything I needed for my short stay but it does feel a little unloved.
I will be back.
The electrics felt like i was going to rip them out of the wall as they were not secured in correctly.
there were huge cobwebs and dust gathered quite a few places.
The shower had a broken hose.
The flap to the chimney bangs every time it is slightly windy so don't bother getting any sleep!!
Where can i add photos?

Too hot to sleep.
When we first arrived in our room, the stands and some of the floor were covered in bird feces. The girl from the bar came up and cleaned the areas, then I wiped them down with an antibacterial cloth. The room was hot and stuffy, though the window had been open, which is how the pigeons got in. There was no fan available to move any of the semi cool air from outside into the room, nor was there any air moving, so the room remained hot and stuffy all night. There wasn't even a fan in the bathroom! The TV did not work, we could get sound, at times, but no picture. We did get internet. There was a store across the road. The room was spacious and "clean". I'm not sure if the bed was comfortable, as we didn't sleep well, if at all due to the extreme heat and stuffiness of the room.
One of the worst places ive stayed, i waa looking for a base to work from when ive got jobs in the area.
Checking in was easy and so was the parking.
As soon as i went through the main door of the accommodation part i knew it was going to be bad.
No working tv.
Foisty smell.
Lights not working properly.
Very dated and dirty bed covers.
I ended up sleeping with my clothes on on top of the quilt.
There are much better places locally.
The cleaner clearly makes a superb effort to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. It was dusted and vacuumed BUT the place stank of cigarette smoke and felt very grubby. Even the key fob smelled.
The windows and sills needed attention, the shower needed a good mould spray and the entrance to the 'hotel' was miserable.
In the photographs I saw pleasant pine furniture and a bright white duvet cover. I got MDF type furniture and dark green sheets. It was very masculine circa 1970.
The ONLY light switch was a piece of grubby string, yeuk! A bedside lamp would have been useful as would some shower wash.
It costs very little money or effort to brighten up a dingy room to make it welcoming. This place missed the mark by a mile.
Never again.
🌟 Locomotive Hotel Review - A Journey into the Abyss 🌟
Having just completed a 6-hour pilgrimage from Essex to the promised lands of Eaglescliffe, I've discovered what can only be described as Fawlty Towers' unsuccessful younger brother. The Locomotive Hotel is, quite frankly, a masterclass in how to disappoint guests while simultaneously making Premier Inn look like The Ritz.
For the bargain price of £40, you too can experience what I can only assume is a social experiment gone wrong. The room comes complete with three different types of wallpaper (clearly inspired by the BBC's Changing Rooms circa 1998) all unified under a hastily applied coat of magnolia - because nothing says "we care" quite like paint that matches your nan's living room.
The bed appears to have been made by someone fleeing a crime scene, while the TV is so small I initially mistook it for a calculator. There's a desk without a chair - perhaps it's art installation commenting on the futility of work? Or maybe the chair is simply having a gap year finding itself in Ibiza.
The bathroom features a creative wall installation where previous guests have contributed to a collaborative art piece involving toilet paper and a hole in the wall. There's also a deceased fly stuck to the window - I've named him Geoffrey and we've become quite close.
The room's piece de resistance is the kicked-in door that's been "repaired" with
