Park Head Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasant staff, lovely room and amazing shower"

Hall Garth Hotel Darlington, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a feature room, really authentic. Staff are great and spa access was £15pp."

Manor House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Basic double courtyard rooms. Spacious rooms but standard double beds - though from the indentations on the carpet in mine, a Queen or King resided there before. Even so, the base "flat" sheets did not fit the mattress to the head exposing no protector. Total lack of information in my room (27) that was there in our daughter's (25) regarding wifi access and other info. I had to wash a tea cup in my room that had a sticky residue at the bottom of it and clear lip residue around the rim. No mixer taps for the bath or basin - fine. I'm British - I can "mix my own bath". But there is something uniquely annoying about a hand basin where the taps are set so far back the water only just reaches the basin. The blind in my room was functional but lop-sided and needs attentjon."

Pets - Parking - Patio - Wifi - Sleeps 4

10/10 Excellent

"Property in good location , quiet and friendly environment. It may look as bit dated but very comfortable including accessible for kitchen , garden and TV programs. It’s worth for the money for sure Laura is very helpful and spot on with the communication. We were stayed for s week and wished we can come back again when needed ."
