Good restaurant and service

Facilities looking a bit tired and dated but nice and clean. Was impressed with vegan options on the dinner menu and the quality of the food was very good overall. Service was also very good. Shame that the spa is a mile away so didn’t bother to use it. Parking a bit tricky. Prob won’t use again as didn’t like the location, but was convenient for us as a one night stopover in a long journey. Pluses are definitely dinner and lovely service.

Decent hotel in Darlington

Decent hotel in Darlington, although the gym is not on-site and this isn't very clear when booking. Could probably do with some updating, my room felt a little bit dated - but was comfortable. Car-park was a good size and I was able to park ons-it no problem.

My bedroom was clean and comfortable, with an incredibly comfortable bed. However, the bathroom was poorly maintained and in need of renovation. The black grouting and stained bathtub made it an unpleasant space.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
What you see is definitely not what you get! The hotel and its facilities are tired and desperately needs a makeover. The room had a bad smell, the extractor in the bathroom was not working and no air conditioning just a small pesky and ineffective fan. Would have scored lower but for the hotel staff (except the receptionist when we checked in) were friendly and courteous. I will not be staying in a Bannatyne hotel again anytime soon.
