Darrington by Greene King Inns

Do not stay here if you want a restful nights sleep!! Blaring music from 8am and didn’t turn it off until 11:30pm! Especially after we had a 4 hour drive to get here followed by a 4 hour drive home. Shower cubicle was dirty with mould and water cut out half way through. Unless you don’t want to sleep, don’t stay here

Great place for a stopover as room clean with all the usual amenities. Food and drink available and was a good at reasonable cost. The staff were friendly helpful and efficient. very easy access to and from the A1 and if you have the time the village is nice to walk round after dinner.

Overnight stop on our way north. Great location just off the A1. We really enjoyed our stay here, such a friendly place with the loveliest staff. The receptionist was funny and welcoming, the bar staff were great and the wonderful lady taking the breakfast order was a delight. The manager (Chris I think) was fabulous, so friendly and attentive. By chance, we were staying on the evening of their quiz (Tuesday). It's all done by mobile, meaning that we could eat dinner while doing the quiz and hosted by Chris. It was great fun, and it was obvious that there are a really nice bunch of locals who come for the quiz ( but the Tartan Travellers still managed a pretty decent third place!). The food was lovely, my wife and I both had the sea bass which was delicious, and the breakfast was really good. The bar and restaurant areas are really nice, with the only small gripe being the bedroom. It was definitely in need of a bit of an upgrade, and has a hole in the floor which my wife ( who has mobility issues) tripped on several times. We had to put toilet roll on the floor over the hole so that she could avoid it. This did not spoil our stay, the bed was comfortable, there are tea and coffee making facilities and as previously stated the bar and restaurant are great. A bit of tlc in the rooms would really lift the place. Overall a pleasant stay and the hotel should be proud of their staff if not the quality of the room!.

Lovely welcome. Exceptionally clean room and both supper and breakfast meals were good. It's a young team here but the service was good. They are working hard and prioritising customer satisfaction despite the tiredness of some areas of this Hotel. Thanks guys.

First time visit to the hotel a great hotel close to the motorway what makes this hotel a great place to stay is the staff they are just super friendly and helpful not one staff member we met could not be more helpful food was good and breakfast was excellent the rooms were large and very quiet

Great food and great service wonderful quiz , staff very helpful never been into a pub like this one almost life changing I can’t believe a pub like this exists , would 100% visit again , I transcended when I ate the chocolate fudge cake and the chips , thank you to the staff for a wonderful experience
