Top Darlington Railway Centre and Museum Hotel Reviews

Hall Garth Hotel Darlington, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

8/10 Good

"It was pleasant enough. The staff we encountered were really friendly. The decor is a bit dated. Smelt a bit fusty … but it’s an old building so what do you expect. Lovely grounds. I struggled to sleep as the bed was too soft for me (personal preference). Not sure I’d stay again but did the job for the evening."
