Lock in a great price for Blackwell Grange Hotel – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

I was there for my son wedding and they made the guess all feel welcome

Fiona, United Kingdom

I had my wedding reception there 35 years ago and it was lovely. There was parking to the front of the hotel

Dawn, United Kingdom

lovely atmosphere, felt most welcome. Lovely big bed and the availability of iron, ironing board, hairdryer all in room ,not having to go to reception to request the use of one as in many places.

Marian, United Kingdom

Bed ok. Staff are great and very friendly. Check in was quick. There were wedding doos on the go but we couldn't hear the music in our room.

Gordon, United Kingdom

We have travelled extensively all over the world and were a little concerned about eating in the hotel. The menu in the restaurant and the bar were very good and the food we ordered on both nights excellent. Breakfast was good and very reasonable.

Happy, United Kingdom

The staff are very friendly, approachable and accommodating, they couldn't have done more to make for an extra pleasant stay.

San, United Kingdom

Comfortable well appointed rooms. There was a wedding reception but it was muffled enough to ignore. The building has many original features and is well maintained. It is in its own grounds set apart from roads and buildings. Great location for exploring the North East and right on the outskirts of Darlington.

Robyn, United Kingdom

Staff genuinely extremely friendly and helpful. Friendliest hotel I've ever been in.

Christine, United Kingdom

A beautiful venue that I attended for the evening reception of a friend's wedding. The room was comfortable, clean and all in all a lovely hotel. Would happily stay again.

Rebecca, United Kingdom

My visit was to attend a funeral so little time or appetite for entertainment. Did not take costume so did not make use of sauna. No time to take advantage of grounds. Shelf in bathroom for toilet bag needed.

Sheila, United Kingdom

Great location!

This historic 17th-century mansion is set in 15 acres of woodland, a 20-minute walk from Darlington town centre. With free Wi-Fi, it features a leisure centre 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 for a two-person trip.

“Could be better”
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눇Dinner on 1st night was very poor. Inedible vegetables, tasteless gravy. My wife's Linguine had clearly been kept warm for too long - looked a mess and was generally poor quality. We had invited friends for dinner on 2nd night but decided that food was so poor that we went elsewhere. Paid extra for executive room. Room was big and pleasant but had a 4'6'' double bed and really needed at least a king bed. Needs money spending on it. At least 2 members of staff told us hotel has been bought by an Irish company. They were delighted and happy with the promise of money being spent. Needs it

“Nice hotel to an extent spoilt by smokers”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Smoking outside doors -cigarette butts on ground. Smokers should be confined to a shelter some distance away from doors/thoroughfares to avoid passive smoking and litter.
눇Large room [in 'cottage']

“There are many other hotels in Darlington that would be worth a try before this one.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉How places change or don't change as there had been no work done to this place in 35 years. We were attending a family wedding which was a short walk and thought it would be handy which it was in fairness. On arrival my son was told he couldn't have his room number as it was confidential, the place was very shabby and almost dirty. Bar was poorly stocked. The breakfast food was awful hashbrowns were frozen inside and mushrooms crozzled the staff had tattoo's on their hands and piled the dirty plates up on the table in front of us and started scraping the remnants onto one plate slopping debris all over the table. It was obvious that these people had not had any training at all.
눇I had my wedding reception there 35 years ago and it was lovely. There was parking to the front of the hotel

- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Parts a bit shabby. Slow to clear tables, except at breakfast. The whole place just needed someone to go round and titivate/tidy a bit more. Poorly stocked bar with dreadful wine. Pity it wasn't closer to town. Tiny bath!
눇Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Large bed. Cheap cab ride into town. Good breakfast.

“A relaxing weekend away”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉There was a wedding on both nights which in itself was fine, we weren't disturbed by these at all, but on the first night they were smoking right next to the door and you could smell inside. I think a proper smoking area is needed
눇We were given an ice Bucket so we could have cold drinks in our room. We ordered from the bar menu for an evening meal - pizza chips and onion rings. We couldn't finish them, and I'd go back just for the chips! Proper homemade like my nana used to make

Pleasant
- • Leisure trip

- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The hotel is a little seedy round the edges. Flaking paint and some tired areas. Lights not working in our bathroom, I hate it when the plug doesn't fit in the sink. No batteries in TV remote. But we were given a new one soon as we asked. Beautiful old Georgian (I think 1769) building to the front aspect with extensions to rear which are dated and reminded me of my University college hall of residence. I did not use the leisure facilities but my partner did and they were also a bit seedy.[her description] Pool small. Obviously the hotel is a major wedding venue in the locale which impinges on other none wedding guests. Seating and bar areas are limited on the ground floor and there is constantly a feeling of being overcrowded with not enough seating. We were attending a birthday dinner and were given a room without windows and dull light with no atmosphere. It would have been better for the family to have eaten in the restaurant.
눇Bed ok. Staff are great and very friendly. Check in was quick. There were wedding doos on the go but we couldn't hear the music in our room.

“Good short stay would stay again, but some areas need a facelift, to modernise the hotel without los”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Swimming pool was small, the corridors of the hotel could do with a face lift, which spoilt the overall experience, but did not affect the short stay
눇Large king size bed, good selection for breakfast and friendly staff. Clean bedroom and facilities
