Hotel Blackwell Grange Hotel

Blackwell Grange, Darlington, DL3 8QH, United Kingdom –

Lock in a great price for Blackwell Grange Hotel – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Public areas are lovely and bar food was great. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Kate, United Kingdom

Old paintings and ambience Nice surroundings Close to the town centre by walk Reception and restaurant staff were excellent

Derek, Turkey

The main entrance and hall gives you this amazing traditional country house. But the accommodation wing is a complete let down.

Andrew, United Arab Emirates

I recommend this hotel. Loved its history & enjoyed walking the grounds (despite the lawns needed a cut!!!)

Regine, United Kingdom

This hotel is very dated and in need of a refurb, beds had springs that stuck in pit backs, on mentioning this the receptionist said they were getting replaced soon - not much use to us, we were kept awake all night by slamming doors, on the 3rd floor so wasn't like it was the ground, however, staff very polite and let me check in early to get sorted for my wedding party, I thought check in was 2 and it was actually 3 so that was very kind, can't fault the staff at all.

Rachel, United Kingdom

Hotel is undergoing some refurbishment and so far its looking splendid, décor very pleasant, comfortable bed, good sized room for our 4 night stay. Reception staff very welcoming and happy to help. Nice quiet location to chill out at but still very handy for the town centre and surrounding area access.

Annie, United Kingdom

We had a lovely breakfast and they did nice soft poached eggs. Good coffee at breakfast.

Georgina, United Kingdom

HIstory of building / estate and Golf facilities although I couldn't use this trip

Kenneth, United Arab Emirates

We liked just about everything. Breakfast was fine and a good selection. Staff all efficient and very friendly. Improved since my last stay several years ago. Staff much more knowledgeable. Food was very good indeed. I'd just had some dental treatment and I was able to find options that were enjoyable and didn't hurt!

Ian, United Kingdom

Great staff and lovely surroundings. Rooms really need a refurb and although some refurbishment is on going they need to hurry up as it looks a bit dated. Food was nice and the public areas are really nice too. Bed was not a bit comfortable but hopefully they are replaced when they are done.

This historic 17th-century mansion is set in 15 acres of woodland, a 20-minute walk from Darlington town center. With free Wi-Fi, it features a leisure center with an indoor swimming pool and a gym.

The modern leisure club also has a spa pool, solarium and sauna. For outdoor leisure, Blackwell Grange Hotel is close to both Blackwell Grange and Stressholme golf courses.

Havelock Restaurant offers a varied à la carte menu, and the less formal Captain Cook's Bar has superb views over the grounds and golf course. Continental breakfasts are also available.

The Blackwell Grange Hotel is set in lovely grounds between the North Yorkshire Moors and the historic city of Durham. The hotel also provides easy access to the A1 motorway.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.

Whilst the public areas had been treated to some recent paint, corridors were tired, paint chipped and flakey, and our room was much worse, mismatched worn out furniture, damaged paint on walls and woodwork, but was clean enough.

We have had heating problems in the room when staying in the past, now that the property has had a make over we were hoping the heating was a thing of the past, unfortunately the heating still didn't work, we had to have a little electric heater provided to the room.
Stayed quite a few times prior as we have family near by, The property is reasonably priced so suits us for budget & location. Recently had a lot of work done this has made a great improvement, looks really impressive & has a nice warm friendly atmosphere.

Wet used towel found next to the bed on arrival. Room was cold. Shower pressure intermittent in both heat and pressure. The leisure centre's women's changing rooms/lockers poor. Pool was small compared to the photos.
Lovely interior/heritage hotel.

There was only one bath towel and not enough hooks to hang the towels on.
Loved the hall and the stairwell. The room was nice and big but could have had a better view, looked out on the service parking space and it was very cold, the heating did not come on until about 5. The breakfast was very good.
