Nice hotel with parking out at the front. Easy check-in. Room was very clean and looked nice. In some areas it could do with a re-paint and the TV’s could be updated to smart TV so guests could stream their own media but otherwise a well equipped room with everything i needed.

Lovely hotel in a lovely village setting
Check in was great, we (me and my hubby), were there for a wedding and they allowed us to check in two hours early as the room was ready, which was a great help to us, to get unpacked and finish getting ready before the ceremony. The staff were friendly, professional and polite. Our room(number1), was delightful, lovely muted green colour scheme, with a very comfortable king size bed resulting in a good nights sleep. There was a nice bathroom with a big shower, just the job! Also provided was an iron and ironing board. For some reason we didn't have a kettle in our room, although the cups and tea and coffee were there, so perhaps an oversite of the domestic staff?We reported it at check out and they made a note of it. We were disappointed not to be able to have our morning tea in our room, as we always do prior to breakfast, but it wasn't a major issue. We had a full 'Classic' cooked breakfast which was lovely, although my yolks on my fried eggs were hard, but then I am particularly fussy over that, ha. I didn't say anything about it though, but I'm sure they would have changed them if I"d asked. We also had two pots of Yorkshire tea, which we thoroughly enjoyed. All in all a fantastic stay and would highly recommend.

Good Location for Croft Circuit
I was visiting Croft race circuit for a weekend race meeting. Local hotel to the track. Just one night. Checked in around 7:30pm. Hotel first impression was it was tired. But no probs - it was ok, I went on to reception. Waited few mins for someone to appear. Staff member appeared, eating. Then she went to get help. Was quite odd - like secret squirrel with the two girls whispering what room to give, I presume, as they moved the mouse around the screen. But all ok. Just auite odd. Up to the room. Adequate and looked fairly recently refurbished. I had a shower, made a call, and then went downstairs for a drink and food. It was 8:35pm. No-one was at bar to serve. It was a small bar. I went and found someone. Ordered a drink and asked for a menu, only to be told that food is stopped serving from 8:30. It was now 8:38. I had missed the opportunity for some food. I went back upstairs after my single drink. No dinner. There was a wedding reception at the hotel. I could hear the music until I fell asleep at around 11pm. A nice sleep. That’s the full summary. Checked out at 8am. I just left the key card in the quick check-out box and left for the circuit. But, all that said, which is more feedback to the hotel than anything else, I will ask myself the usual question - would I stay there again? Answer - all in all, I’d definitely stay there again.

Attended wedding, the 'Chapel', reception room and reception all beautifully decorated. 3 course Meal for wedding reception was delicious, well presented & hot. Breakfast, cooked fresh was of a high standard. Staff very friendly & helpful, although not a lot of them, they seemed to be muti-tasking. Only complaint was the heating, far too warm in rooms, windows didn't open & no way to cool off.

Stayed one night with my wife, and had dinner and breakfast in the hotel. Have stayed here before, but it’s been fully refurbished since the last time. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Steak for dinner was good, as was the cooked breakfast. Couldn’t fault it really. Very convenient for Darlington.

Really disappointing stay
A dreadful stay unfortunately. On the night of my stay there was a wedding going on downstairs. Whilst the noise from the wedding didn’t bother me when going to bed, I was woken by wedding guests shouting, singing and playing music in the corridor. The carry on continued until 4am not before wedding guests passed from room to room shouting and banging doors. I tried calling reception to complain but no one answered the phone. No compensation or apology provided when checking out the next day, just confirmation that another guest had also complained to reception. At breakfast the porridge was dry and I heard another guest request tomato sauce for their bacon only to be told they were out of stock. My room was tired and dated, with the odd leftover stray hair from previous guests found in the bathroom. No water provided in the room either. I won’t be staying again as I simply cannot afford a bad nights sleep when away on business. Very disappointing.

Wedding stay
We had a lovely stay for a family wedding. The venue is stunning. My only complaint is that the cist of rooms was almost trippled for the night of the wedding which i think is a bit unfair.

I would not rate this hotel or the service at all. I came all the way from Bristol to go to a funeral at the church mins away. I arrived early and explained my friends were outside but would it be possible to check in early or leave my bag (I also emailed ahead to advise of this). I was advised to wait in the bar/reception. They did allow me to check in early but only after did they tell me I had to pay an additional charge of £20. If I'd known this in advance I wouldn't have checked in! Also a light switch was hanging off the wall, bathroom mirror is rusty and sheets are dirty. I asked for a room upgrade but this didn't happen, although the light switch has been fixed.
