This was the first time we stayed here and we felt warmly welcomed. Very well maintained hotel and restaurant, where the food and service also matched up. Will definitely be returning in the near future and would recommend this place to others. Thanks!

Have been using this Hotel on and off since about 2007 and have always had a soft spot for it. It is one of those hotels that just seems to work. It is getting a little bit worn and would benefit from a bit of redecoration here and the, but it is still a great place to stay. A nice... More

On a cold night the December, my wife and I arrived in Darlington. A typical town in England conuntryside and locals very friendly. Our surprise was to find a hotel with excellent standard as the Bannatyne. The hotel is not new but is well maintained, very beautiful inside and out. The bedroom with bathroom very spacious and comfortable, large bed... More

Our room (no:21, I think) was glorious, huge bed, big squashy sofas, lots of antique furnishings and plenty of room for the 2 extra beds that were required for our children. Everything was spotless.

Stayed here on a Monday Night. Beds were comfortable, staff friendly and room spacious. Breakfast average - have never had toasted crusts at a hotel before!! (maybe they ran out of bread??). Overall seems like the best hotel in Darlington Centre and very handy for walking into the town (only took 5 mins). Would book again if in the area!

Stayed here overnight rather than drive home after a night out in Darlington. Parking was a bit of a nightmare unless you get there early. Room was a decent size, bed comfortable & clean, decor was dreary & worn, could do with a good make-over. Tried to order hot food from the 24hr room service menu, only to be told... More

After a very positive previous experience, my second visit was not so good. The moron in the room next to mine arrived back at 12.30 in the morning and proceeded to blare his television set. After 20 mins of trying to reach reception on the telephone I was forced to walk downstairs in my PJs to find the night porter... More
