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.

The central location is ideal for retail therapy and restaurants. Overall great. ##### Graeme Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Akin Jun 18, 2025 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. ##### Akin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sheila Feb 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overall comfortable Comfortable bed, room needs a bit of a tidy up.

Room was a bit on the cold side better than too warm. Breakfast was okay but I’ve had better. Location is good easy access to town centre if your catching a train you need to allow 30 mins from checking out of the hotel to been on the platform which is a leisurely walk for an able bodied person. It’s a 10 minute walk to local auction. Staff were helpful without been over the top. ##### Philip Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### mark Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort The room was very hot ##### mark Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ken Jan 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Warm welcome. Room was available befre the 3pm recommended time. Lovely large room with comfy bed. Paintwork around the property needs a refresh. Windows need cleaning. Good facilities in the bathroom. Had to wait a while to be seated for breakfast but willing to forgive that as it was new year's day. Hearty breakfast and staff were excellent. ##### Ken ### 8/10 Good #### Ruth Oct 7, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness #### Good location in central location Nice hotel with limited parking.

Reported it to housekeeping ##### Ruth Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Caroline Dec 14, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Property is looking tired in places with DIY in bedroom very evident - paint on sockets, flaking paint on ceiling. TV was a challenge to get it to work but was good once going. Car park was a nightmare with no defined parking spaces so Amish mash if parking angles and areas. Staff and breakfast were great though ##### Caroline Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Steve Jul 24, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service No hot water in room and bathroom out of action.

The staff are polite, friendly. Massive problem was when I asked for. Two glasses and a ice bucket £5 they wanted to charge me!! I asked to speak to the manager who still wouldn’t waver this charge !!! ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Dec 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is the fourth or fifth time we've stayed here in the past two years. We love the hotel because it's so relaxed, the rooms are good and we like to wander into Darlington and down to South Park. For us, the food is always good, too. I have to say that having to cater for more people at Christmas meant the food wasn't to the usual high standards. It wasn't bad, but the beef was overdone (though my wife liked it) and the sticky toffee pudding wasn't the same as in the past (it tasted more a like a bought-in ginger cake with toffee sauce). The Christmas pud was like the individual ones we buy from the Co-op, only not as nice as the Co-op's! And my brandy sauce was actually custard. But all things considered it wasn't a bad meal. Just not as good as we normally expect. Breakfast was as good as always, however. It ranks as my favourite hotel breakfast! So, will we be back? Of course. We really like this hotel and always feel relaxed after spending a night or two here. ##### David ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave Nov 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Helpful staff. ##### Dave Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Peterborough.h2928593.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Novotel-Milton-Keynes.h892420.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels-Lumley-Castle-Hotel.h175571.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-London-Gatwick-Hotel.h6579.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information)
