Breakfast not great, bacon served folded and over cooked, sausages swimming in grease. No water provided at breakfast either. Over £6.00 for a Madri (beer) very expensive!

Location good, free parking.

No map of the hotel to show it has two wings It's very easy to get lost (I did) if you happen to enter the building in any door other than the main entrance

The position of the hotel in peaceful countryside Breakfast was very good! Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean

The kettle which came room was not clean. I had request to be changed. The heater did not work at all. Again had to insist to get a handy heater which was not providing sufficient heat. Hotel restaurant dinner was not good. I am vegetarian and I was made to keep on changing my order since the restaurant would not have the dish which I ordered from the menu.

The paper bath mat

Lovely hotel with history and decorated to bring that out. Breakfast was fab with an abundance of choice; one of the best I’ve had at a hotel. Will definitely stay here again

The room was clean and bed very comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet with tea/coffee served to the table which I prefer.

The duvet cover didn’t fit the bed size too small. No bar staff all in doing wedding . People whom were staying there had to wait for a drink. My pie I had had no meat in it. Breakfast soon went cold because plates weren’t warm. Need a plate warmer. If they have one they need to use it. Don’t know if because they we’re short of staff due to wedding going on but also need to think about other guests paying to stay there.

We like this hotel. Room was comfortable. It was one of the old rooms that needed a makeover. But bed was comfortable. And nice view over garden instead of a courtyard. It was also quiet to say there was a wedding on. Food ok not thrilled this time.

The shower is too slow and uncomfortable. The rooms are not pre heated and The central Heating system takes too long to get heated up. The iron is of very low quality, defeats the purpose in the busy morning hours.

Minor observation, the bar service was very slow on the two evenings I stayed this week. The bar tender had to keep walking to the second bar across the reception area if certain beers were ordered.

Room was excellent, food choice was improved from my previous visit with far more selection. Good choice of food, very well cooked and the restaurant service was very professional.

Direction given to our bedroom at check-in could have been better received if delivered patiently but we eventually managed to find a staff to redirect us after wandering around for a while in the wrong section of the building with our heavy luggage. Heating was off by the time we got back late at night and we had to tuck into bed earlier than we would have. However, heating was otherwise good. External lighting in the area walking back from the big car pack at the rear could be better in some areas. We were kept awake for sometime from around midnight by some inconsiderate guests who appeared under influence. Hotel staff responded promptly once alerted and acted swiftly to summon decisive help from security and law enforcement. We all then had a better night sleep.

Excellently located for the venue of the event we came for at Darlington Golf club. Easy reach of the train station. Beautiful and well kept large grounds with ample parking. Check-in was quick and easy. Property interior with beautiful period features which flows well into the more contemporary sections of the building. Room was clean and decoration simple but ok. Had the usual basic facilities and mattress was relatively good providing us with a good rest except for period of disturbance from one of the neighbouring rooms. Breakfast was better than expected compared to what we've experienced in the chain hotels. We didn't have time to explore the other facilities including the swimming pool.

The bin in the bathroom had not been emptied and was full to overflowing with ‘ladies products’ rather nasty. Whilst the decor was good it was a little on the dark side for my liking and was a little unsettling given some sight problems.

Breakfast was good. the bed was the most comfortable I have ever had in an hotel. The room was nice and quiet even though there was a wedding in progress.

There were two events going on in the hotel so plenty of noisy revellers banging bedroom doors until fairly late. The hotel was very clean and looked after which made it seem even more strange that the leisure facilities were so incredibly dirty and uncared for... absolutely unbelievably filthy changing rooms. The only nice part of the leisure facilities was the new sauna which was in a separate little building of it's own.

Hotel room was very comfortable and clean.
