This weekend away was a treat for me from my Fiance for my 21st Birthday. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Such a perfect location, first time I ever visited Darlington and I will go again. What made it extra special is that staff at both the hotel and the leisure centre were absolutely fantastic, great manners, always cheerful,... More

We stayed at Bannatynes Darlington on the 10th December 2011. I can only say that although the room was on the small side it had everything you could want. The bathroom was clean and warm. Plenty of water for showers in the morning. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were all very pleasant and polite. More

The car park is a little bit confusing to locate if you haven't checked a map before setting off. The staff were very friendly and helpfull The bar is more of a waiting room for the restaurant so I would suggest heading down the road for a beer. The only strange thing was that you have to leave your key... More

Booked four nights directly with the hotel. Rooms of a good standard. Breakfast, buffet starter, main prepared to order. Staff responsive and willing to help. The leisure club is a five minute drive away but be aware at rush hour can be significantly longer. The Hotel is a little scuffed in places but this is not a problem. A real... More

Visited the Hotel with a couple of colleagues, we were entertaining customers in nearby Yarm. This is a boutique hotel so don't expect the usual Travelodge type accomodation.

Great value for money, friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms - what more can you ask for. The breakfast (full english) was of a good quality and they were prompt and quick which when working is very important.
