Sandra, United Kingdom

This is my favourite place to stay in the whole of the U.K. I come here regularly and it never disappoints. It is elegant, comfortable and welcoming. All rooms have superb fittings, luxury linen, towels etc. The staff are outstanding in their helpfulness and warmth. The food is excellent,wonderful bar where you feel quite comfortable as a woman travelling alone. Great location in the heart of Darlington which is a charming town with ready access to the dales, moors, York, Durham etc. If you haven't stayed here, you are missing a treat.
