Hall Garth Hotel Darlington, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

We had a 1 night stay while attending a nearby festival, but wish we'd stayed longer. The most wonderful staff, particularly Mandy on Reception who was super friendly and helpful. 11 out of 10! In addition, the bed had a very comfortable mattress, the rooms had lovely views, the location was great just off the A1. We had a drink on the terrace in the sunshine and enjoyed everything this hotel had to offer. Recommend!

Dilapidated and in need of a revamp. Superior room was miles from reception down narrow corridors. No lifts. Key lock very difficult to use. Would be a nightmare trying to unlock in an emergency. Bedroom very outdated. Minimal coffee/tea sachets and no biscuits. Bed was comfy though. Bathroom not up to scratch with mould evident round tiles. Kitchen facilities out of order so no food except basics. No breakfast due to kitchen faults so only a (very) limited continental breakfast. Both toasters on offer were broken also so not even option of toast. Spa was an extra cost which we weren’t aware of at time of booking. Possibly our fault but we presumed the cost wouldn’t be relevant to resident guests. We had booked for 2 nights but only stayed for one. Very disappointed as this was for my birthday and I booked out in tears

Great stay

Friendly staff, comfortable room, excellent dinner, lovely setting

3 in the morning fire alarm went off room was too hot even with windows open spiderwebs everywhere windows frames were dirty paint was off in the bathroom dust everywhere not worth the money we paid

Tired throughout in need of some refurbishment.

One night stop just off the A1 and the room 219 in the stable block was very poor. Cobwebs everywhere, lot of mould in bathroom, disgusting bathroom extractor fan not been cleaned in very long time, very noticeable dust on all surfaces, old food on carpet, and windows that hadn’t been cleaned in months if not years. General decoration condition was poor, shower water pressure low, no hot water in morning. Windows had secondary glazing and outer window wouldn’t close. Bathroom window was a struggle to open or close due to its poor condition. The mattress of one of the 2 beds was sagging and needed replacing. I gave a list of issues to receptionist but in the main I would avoid this place. It might be a lovely hotel in the main building but the stable annex is fairly awful and having just spent 3 nights in a wonderful guest house in N Yorks the contrast couldn’t have been greater.

10/10 very lovely and beautiful, relaxing and staff very friendly

Parking: Plenty & Free Staff: Friendly Check in: Quick Restaurant: Didn’t use. Bar: Didn’t use. Bedroom: Clean and comfortable. Breakfast: From 7am, buffet, very nice.

Breakfast was very limited and basic.

Hotel staff attentive the rooms are a little tired and could do with modernisation but perfectly suitable

Liked basic functions for good price...free parking, breaksast, 3 star hotel

A handy stopover and an honest, straightforward hotel

Plenty of parking, great welcome. Was out in the accommodation above the pub but very reasonably quiet. Needs some TLC as it’s showing its age. Fire door outside my room needed the closer repairing as banged shut every time it was used!

Hall Garth was a visit we looked forward to. The mapping App couldn’t find it easily and tried to locate it in the village the opposite side of the A1M, once we’d returned and crossed over Google maps insisted on trying to get us into the top end of the property (near the spa) which we ignored and finally found our way in. The hotel is lovely and the premises are fine, we had a larger room which unfortunately was a real trek through the buildings to reach. However comfortable room and quiet we found….For the first night. However the property holds weddings and our second night corresponded with one. So although our room was almost at the end of the property, guests in the room next door gathered shouting, singing and obviously enjoying themselves noisily until nearly three o’clock in the morning, after waking us around 12:30. Not ideal for a restful night before a long drive home.

The golf course is closed and as a result the hotel is now dated and showing its age.

Gym & Spa closed at 6:30 the only reason I booked this hotel was for the gym…very disappointed

Lovely staff ,fab breakfast our bathroom was a bit sad,value for money

Great little hidden gem. Only used as a stop ober, but will be back for sure.

Characterful place but it was dirty and staff were friendly but the floors didn't seem to have been vacuumed and the bathroom had hair on the floor.
