The Gibside Hotel
Due to being so cold through night, we didnt sleep until the bedroom heated and consequently, being so tired, we missed breakfast. This was a special time for us... But sadly it was ruined by the room being so cold. We were booked for Saturday night so wanted to cancel, but were told it was too late. ...
