Hall Garth Hotel, Golf & Spa.  

Nice setting, friendly staff, got a bit of character

All of the staff from the spa to reception were really friendly - had a willing genuine smile and couldnt do enough - was really surprised and delighted at the prices of the food and wine in the bar and restaurant - it made everything much more affordable - one titchi thing - could have done with more people working in the treatment rooms cause it was really busy and we would have had more treatments if there had been a slot - but it didnt spoil anything - we had the best time thanks xx

Good location,friendly, great facilities and comfortable

My first visit to Garth Hotel, first impressions count and the staff at check in were very firendly and helpful. The setting and room were excellent. Although I didn't get chance to use the pool and spa facilities I will definately be back to try these. The on site pub was friendly and served good food. The main plus point for me was the peace and quiet, it was a very relaxing stay. Having used a large chain of hotels for many years when staying in the North East this was a breath of fresh air and I intend to make this my base for future business stop-overs.

There is not much to dislike so being very picky here! A better choice of beer at the pub would be great, a couple of local real ales would perhaps attract more people? I know a lot of people who check what is on offer at the bar before deciding where to stay! That is it really, everything else was perfect.

It was a very friendly and clean hotel and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

This 3* hotel is conveniently located for the business traveller, as it is only 0.5 mile from the A1 and close to the large Aycliffe ind estate . It is based around an old manor house which has kept a lot of traditional features. The bedrooms in the old part of the building have sloping floors, low doors etc A more modern annexe has also good but more standardised rooms. There is a seperate pub/bar with real ale and snacks,a leisure centre and golf course. In the restaurant , you can eat in the old main room or in the conservatory which looks out over the golf course

Hot bar food is no longer available in the pub so you have to go to the restaurant and pay a lot more to eat. We were put in the conservatory where it was rather cold ( same problem last winter when I stayed) as only heated by fan heaters . The leisure centre needs updating . The pub was rather dead and at one point we were the only customers. From past visits the few bedrooms above the Stables pub are rather small and should be avoided.

Excellent hotel with high standards throughout. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Good location being approximately 5 miles from centre of Darlington

I have stayed at the Hall Garth on a number of occasions and will continue to stay. I was disappointed however, that there was no hot water on the second night of my stay and none the following morning. While staff were very apologetic, they said the problem had been caused by the boiler blowing out and that this had been a problem since Christmas. Given that I stayed there in mid January I would have expected this to have been remidied earlier.

The suite we had

The deal that we booked was excellent value for money. We had a suite which we were not expecting. The staff were helpful.

Room very small and warm.Unsuitable areas to work from.Unable to open a window for fresh hair.No lift facility to rooms.Room facilities were below Premier Travel Lodge standard but much more expensive.Difficult draging suit cases ect across the unmade car park and us stairs to reception.

Great location in countryside with easy access to A1 motorway and Darlington centre.

Nice location friendly staff great food

The WiFi cannot be connected until midnight. The staff was not helpfull. Just saying that they could not do anything. The facilities are very disappointed.
