Lovely hotel.

We love coming back to this hotel. The beds are great “ very comfortable, breakfast has a lot of choice and is tasty. The staff are very good. The central location is ideal for retail therapy and restaurants. Overall great.

What you see is definitely not what you get! The hotel and its facilities are tired and desperately needs a makeover. The room had a bad smell, the extractor in the bathroom was not working and no air conditioning just a small pesky and ineffective fan. Would have scored lower but for the hotel staff (except the receptionist when we checked in) were friendly and courteous. I will not be staying in a Bannatyne hotel again anytime soon.

Overall comfortable

Comfortable bed, room needs a bit of a tidy up. Paintwork chipped here & there, window in bathroom totally broken. Service rather slow.

Not bad but a bit one the cool side in December

The room was spotless and the bed comfortable. Room was a bit on the cold side better than too warm. Breakfast was okay but I’ve had better. Location is good easy access to town centre if your catching a train you need to allow 30 mins from checking out of the hotel to been on the platform which is a leisurely walk for an able bodied person. It’s a 10 minute walk to local auction. Staff were helpful without been over the top.

Warm welcome. Room was available befre the 3pm recommended time. Lovely large room with comfy bed. Paintwork around the property needs a refresh. Windows need cleaning. Good facilities in the bathroom. Had to wait a while to be seated for breakfast but willing to forgive that as it was new year's day. Hearty breakfast and staff were excellent.

Good location in central location

Nice hotel with limited parking. I had a bad bad smell in my bathroom. Room 37. Drain smell. Was going to order room service but the smell put me off. Reported it to housekeeping

Property is looking tired in places with DIY in bedroom very evident - paint on sockets, flaking paint on ceiling. TV was a challenge to get it to work but was good once going. Car park was a nightmare with no defined parking spaces so Amish mash if parking angles and areas. Staff and breakfast were great though

£5 for a empty glass and a ice bucket So greedy

The hotel has limited free parking. The staff are polite, friendly. Massive problem was when I asked for. Two glasses and a ice bucket £5 they wanted to charge me!! I asked to speak to the manager who still wouldn’t waver this charge !!!

This is the fourth or fifth time we've stayed here in the past two years. We love the hotel because it's so relaxed, the rooms are good and we like to wander into Darlington and down to South Park. For us, the food is always good, too. I have to say that having to cater for more people at Christmas meant the food wasn't to the usual high standards. It wasn't bad, but the beef was overdone (though my wife liked it) and the sticky toffee pudding wasn't the same as in the past (it tasted more a like a bought-in ginger cake with toffee sauce). The Christmas pud was like the individual ones we buy from the Co-op, only not as nice as the Co-op's! And my brandy sauce was actually custard. But all things considered it wasn't a bad meal. Just not as good as we normally expect. Breakfast was as good as always, however. It ranks as my favourite hotel breakfast! So, will we be back? Of course. We really like this hotel and always feel relaxed after spending a night or two here.
