Lumley Castle Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Staff were excellent. Room a lot smaller than expected. Bedding and en-suite very clean. Room in need of updating/decotation. Parking facilities were very poor."

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

10/10 Excellent

"Very conveniently located, lovely room with space for unpacked belongings."

Gisborough Hall

6/10 Okay

"We were gifted a voucher as a maternity present and chose to spend it on a hotel. We decided on Gisborough Hall because of its promise of a luxury experience. The initial room did not feel luxurious and was more reminiscent of a standard chain hotel room than a premium country house hotel. Our view overlooked an active construction site with workers, building materials, and construction equipment. Upon request we were upgraded to a room with a forest view, which was appreciated. However, it left us wondering why guests who had already booked and paid were not allocated the better rooms in the first place. Were we treated differently because part of our stay had been paid for using a gifted voucher? Another major disappointment was the "king-size" beds, which are actually two separate mattresses pushed together. One of the reasons we chose Gisborough Hall was for the comfort and space a true king-size bed should provide as a family. This felt misleading. The Chaloner dinner service staff were attentive and professional throughout. The food itself was underwhelming. The duck was overcooked, lacking the flavour and quality expected, while the beef shin resembled a fillet rather than the slow-cooked, fall-apart texture one would associate with the dish. We also overheard diners at a neighbouring table making similar comments about their meal, suggesting our experience was not an isolated one. We left feeling that we had paid premium prices for a distinctly average experience."

The Golden Fleece Hotel, Thirsk, North Yorkshire

8/10 Good

"The hotel room was very good, but the dinner we had in the restaurant did not match the quality of the hotel itself. We would stay there again, but find somewhere else to eat."

Hall Garth Hotel Darlington, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

8/10 Good

"The hotel is set in lovely grounds and the view from the breakfast room was delightful. Breakfast was a normal hotel spread and well set out. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the room was clean though very dark because I was on the wooded side of the building. The big let down was the state of the windows which must have been neglected for years and had to be propped open with a block of wood left on the window sill. General decoration was in need of a refurb and the main entrance doorway was in need of repainting. I assume the whole building is due an update and I'm sure it will all be lovely next time I book in."

Holiday Inn Darlington - North A1M by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Really great value. Breakfast was a bit average."

Hotel Bannatyne Durham

4/10 Poor

"Hotel staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly but having stayed in bannatyne hotels previously, this one is extremely disappointing. No breakfast was included nor was the gym so all additional extras and to be told if I booked direct the gym would have been included is very unhelpful. The one morning I went over to the health club for breakfast I was greeted by a very unhappy woman behind the till in the cafe who complained she had too much going on by herself. This might have had something to do with 5 members of staff stood at reception talking! Definitely won’t be staying here again, utterly ridiculous!"
