Spa Hotel  

Owner's dog was friendly and fun to have around, a good way to mingle with everyday English folk, close to airport, shuttle was offered to airport when needed, supper was tasty, breakfast adequate.

For a night this place if good, it was clean and we had an en-suite which was good.

The hotel itself was clean spacious and the staff lovely.

Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Nice clean rooms. Don't be put off by the location. Stayed for 2 days and di dnot see or hear one plane! Recommended. Very good value.

Don't be put off by the location when you first get there because it is a really nice place to stay! The rooms are modern and the hotel is undergoing further renovations at the moment. Great reasonable priced food at the restaurant! The staff was very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay here!

The hotel was very clean and located in a good position .The price was very good.

Nothing.

Leaving!

This is without doubt the worst hotel I have stayed in anywhere! The room was an ice cube, a large room true, but with both a tiny low powered heater in a corner where an equally tiny tv in this corner. Windows single glazed, double bed (two singles together) had damp sheets due to the cold. The bathroom was unusable without wasting 30 minutes of hot water from the shower to make it possible to use the room. Blocked an air vent that was partly blocked with old newspaper with a towel to stop an arctic draft coming in. Asked if could be moved to another room was told they were full but could have another heater, given this very reluctantly. My wife checked later on using her tablet and the hotel was not full. Room was not cleaned on the first night and was told by Booking.com after I complained that the room was to hot to clean. What utter nonsense and what an untruth! I hate complaining but please please avoid this hotel at all costs. If you have a large car, I have a small car, better to sleep in your car than sleep here. Staff were very unfriendly and not interested in anything except taking your money as son as you arrive and then letting you freeze. The breakfast as many reviews have said is equally appalling and useless. This is the most dreadful hotel possible and was so bad we left on the second night of three booked nights as we were so fed up with it. Avoid and please do not ignore this genuine review.

As was attending a course next door the location was ideal. The food was very good and the overall stay was very good. Price very reasonable, no complaints at all.

perfect room nice hot water shower and bath

no cooked breakfast i there had of been it would have been great

This hotel although basic is well worth a visit because it is quiet even though it is at a small airport, has loads of parking, the food choice and quality is good and reasonably priced. All the facilities in the room worked perfectly including excellent WIFI.

Rooms were very clean and modern. staff very friendly

would have liked a cooked breakfast but other than that everything was fine

The price and the friendly personel.

The breakfast was a bit ordinary, but for the all-in price quite OK.

We stayed only the one night but will return.

There was not a thing i could find wrong with the hotel

the staff were great and very friendly

the only things i would say is that the carpets could do with being cleaned

Welcoming, very clean and comfortable; friendly staff.

Not easy to find first time.

Very clean, friendly staff and nice breakfast provided. Also had the carvery in the restaurant which was lovely

Not very well sign posted and could not get through to them on the phone

good food every thing perfect

Friendliness of staff, cleanliness and value for money, good choice of food in Restaurant.

We wanted somewhere 'out of the way' for a quiet weekend away. This hotel was ideal. Excellent value for money, small, extremely friendly hotel. The service was excellent, the food was gorgeous, the room clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and attentive - and the owners dog is beautiful! Nothing was too much trouble. We were very late arriving due to the coach from London running late but the owner offered to cook for us even though it was almost 11pm. I would recommend this hotel very highly. Due to the location you need a car but taxis are available from Darlington only 10 minutes away. The hotel is situated next to Durham Tees Valley airport but the airport isn't very busy and we weren't affected by the noise. We would definitely use this hotel again.

Nice and quiet,lovely staff who were very helpful,we ate there oin the evening and the food was good. The breakfast in the morning was good with plenty of choice. We liked our room....which was a decent size as was the bathroom. Shall definitely stay there again

good sized spotlessly clean rooms, friendly helpful management, great evening menu with lots of choice, well stocked bar. Ideal base for walkers. Visit High force waterfalls and saltholme a fairly new RSPB site, it is excellent for children with lots for them to do. Will definately stay there again

friendly staff good food quirky location clean and cheap

lack of cooked breakfast hard to find without a satnav

Easy to find, pleasant reception, room very tidy and clean, easy to use and powerful shower!! Breakie could be upped to do full english for the price but still good, will stay again if still doing the competitive price! Thank you
