kids friendly ( goodie bags at arrival for kids, snacks for the road at the departure ) - the

breakfast was very good, but hadn't realised at first, that one could have both uncooked and

i booked the room i thought breakfast was in the price

us back within 10 minutes, upgraded our room, fully refunded our stay, and included complimentary breakfast

the roomsare a good size and comfortable, and the bar and restaurant welcoming and comfortable

nice breakfast, adjoining rooms which helped with the kids. nice pool and good overnight stay.

this hotel now for many years either as a family or just as a couple gettn away from the kids

mattresses were too soft and springy, a bit like a kids trampoline no lifts

room size and the pub and the out door space was amazing the kids absolutely loved it, all the staff were a

my kids and dogs weren't there

rooms are quite small, at least ours was, so when the sofa bed is down for kids, the space is very

very small, one bed was a sofa bed which was uncomfortable and the queens bed is very high for kids to reach

kids portion for adult price

breakfast the first day was a little manic, kids running around in breakfast area, trying to find where things

breakfast was excellent with loads of choice - the kids loved the waffle machines

kids menu would have been good

we booked a room with extra fast wifi and allocated parking the hotel had neither

location, clean room, easy check in with very friendly bar man

good location and a quiet hotel. great for parking free

central location friendly reception bright airy room good shower/bath free parking opposite

you want to use the pool it belongs to the gym next door that is used for kids swimming lessons at weekends so

were & so helpful there was a few off us staying they made sure we were all in same floor for the kids and the

even goody bags for kids and carrot mince pie and milk for santa

only thing i'd say is maybe a little kids area would be good just for like

for what i payed i didn't expect it to be as nice and clean as it was bed were so comfy the kids loved the

if you have kids the play area is good with lots of outdoor seating

wifi is weak

wifi worked well

very friendly and helpful staff. lovely room. clean. good location. plenty of car parking.

no lighting in extended car parking area

we had kids in the room beside us and the walls are thin, so lots of noise from 7am from next door, doors

loved the christmas decor, kids loved it

pet friendly at no extra cost. good value food

evening meal , very comfortable bed, exceptionally clean room,, really excellent breakfast,good parking

breakfast - awesome, pick what you want and its made for you oming down in the morning, totally

bed was great. bar looks cool. nice vibe

breakfast with lots of options -also had a superb lunch in the restaurant

very helpful staff, great restaurant and bar on the ground floor

quality hotel, a jewel in the centre of darlington. great decor, room, bar & staff.

may be worth creating a small card with important information on for each room that contains the wifi code and

radiators in full blast during night. 3 kids too hot.

the pool itself was great for us with little kids, it was warm and fairly small but deep enough

kids running amok from a wedding, making a nuisance of themselves in various corridors, went on for

when we came back from our day out the place was totally trashed kids running

needs replacing as does the stairwell , wedding on so got room next to family with young kids very noisy, woken

asked for extra cleaning as got kids with allergies,but room was dusty,specially beds around pillows and carpets

the kids and myself really liked the rest (croissants, coffee, mini savoury cupcakes etc)

was there for a spa weekend and it was spoilt by kids taking over the pool and jacuzzi

we had a cooked breakfast and there was lots of continental options especially for kids

no morning supervisor and lots of poorly trained kids wandering around doing an inadequate job

the kids loved the bunkbeds

very large room, foosball table in reception was fun with the kids.

our room was for two adults and two kids (8 & 5) and it wasn t really big enough

in the restaurant but the hotel manager set up the conference room with colouring books for the kids which was

the bar prices were a little high as well which was surprising

given that we spent a bit of time between rooms checking on the kids, and trying to shower etc, it didn't feel

the only thing that lets it down is the poor wifi.

breakfast was really good, with accommodation centrally located offering additional options if you

loved everything about the hotel, the breakfast the following morning was amazing

it was the dog treats on the bar she actually wanted

also the wifi signal can t reach to the

parking was limited, but was to find a spot.

would have liked more secure parking, however we could see the car from the bedroom window.

main probelm is parking, there is a large parking area in front of the hotel, but as its first come first served

i could not get the wifi to

i work very hard to earn the amount of money they charge and on a night away from the kids, i want a bath and

lifts where abit outdated and small especially for familes with kids

kids enjoyed it, there was a kids menu in the main restaurant

the food was great, room amazing, friendly staff and wonderful spa treatments

nothing! except perhaps a swimming pool but thats being picky but it would be perfect!

we hardly ever get a break from the kids so was a little

good bar and evening food

wifi quite poor but this would not stop us returning in a shot!

that said, room service was available so we didn t miss out

free parking a great bonus

i travelled with my 3yo and is was ideal, deluxe room had plenty of space and the kids menu in the bar was spot

we were shattered after a 9 hour drive and kept awake by the school kids and then the cars turning up to collect

location great, right on the park and large bath tub, great for the kids.

the wifi.

good parking

plus, along the beach there is playground for kids with separate swimming pool for only kids

the sofa bed for our two (growing) kids was a little small but we appreciate it would be difficult to get two

the room heater on for our arrival, the room was the closest room i have ever stayed it and the kids had to

walking around the street with all your luggage isn't good when you have 2 kids in tow

deluxe double room has fantastic sea views and relaxing spa bath

pancakes on the breakfast buffet would make the kids happier

of food i gave a 10 pound tip it was that nice breakfast was amazing booking again to bring kids

our kids' room was not next to our (parents') room.

room, awkward shaped bathroom, fitness suite was smaller and less obulant than described and had kids swimming

kids thought it was posh as the suite we were in was very big

the tv, bathroom door didn t close, fire alarm going off at 1am, scared the life out of the kids so we ended

wifi doesn't reach all rooms

receptionist told me there was room service when i checked in, told me to call 0 to speak to reception, later

wifi didn t work for me the whole time i was there

needs more life in the bar etc there s so much potential for the hotel

our room was incredibly generous in size, giving us and the kids ample space to spread out and relax after a

and the room was super spacious clean and would certainly recommend the family room it meat the kids had their

so many things for the kids to do on the lawn and the pool in the morning was a nice was to start the day before

enjoyed my stay with my family what i loved about it for families extra play games for kids.

the food was great, kids meals were excellent and big portions but the sea base was over priced,

with kids this was an issue

if you'd had some kind of kids play area, it would have been the cherry on the cake but we can't have everything

the location was beautiful kids lived playing in the stream

at this property on our way from scotland to scarborough to break the journey up for the kids

the kids were anxious to leave quickly

room is spacious and well-renovated, with an internet-enabled tv that s very convenient for the kids

no room service

parking spaces the main course lamb the fresh croissants at breakfast the bathroom and the

rooms are beautiful, plenty of safe parking, the bar and restaurant are great and are a stroll through the garden

rate this hotel highly enough from super friendly staff, early check in, amazing room which was more like a

the kids i was with couldn t use it

having to leave. the kids wanted to live there.

my kids like chinese food so we ordered takeaway delivery to days inn

separate section with single beds for the kids which was great for everyone

kids beds were great

to the rooms when the bar was closed was up a very steep set of stairs

it was a little inconvenient the bar being closed on sunday 8th september

parking was the main thing, on the main street

off the market square where free parking can be had but difficult to get on market day

i can only descripe experience like sleeping on a bed of nails on the motorway there was no parking you could

screaming kids running up & down the corridors, slamming doors

for an early check in if possible when booking due to looking after kids during a funeral reception and wanted

lovely and peacefully nice gardens and great for kids

location is great with good swing park for kids and plenty of parking

place very friendly staff fantastic food brilliant beer garden plenty of space for kids to play will be going

staff was polite to serve when kids wanted additional sausages than what was ordered

even the kids enjoyed the atmosphere

the gathering of the kids was not an issue, just the engine noises

adele cooked us a lovely breakfast and even made pancakes for the kids

so friendly and the breakfast was gorgeous made fresh

breakfast was very simple- the kids were happy but we would have liked a wider choice

kids without bottles

it was dirty, mouldy and i didn't feel comfortable having my kids stay there.

value for money a kids breakfast bag of fruit (apple or banana) kids yoghurt and a bottle of orange or apple

fast wifi and modern bathroom

the walls of the bar and restaurant display historic photos of the hotel and staff over the past century, and

poor wifi on the second floor. fast but unreliable

we had room service as i was with my 11 year old daughter who was very tired and wanted to snuggle in our

ample parking wifi upgrade lovely breakfast love the bar - great for a drink before

there was a long wait at breakfast.

the large family room had a separate sleeping area for kids and

kids were very welcome

good location on the edge of moors, also good access to major roads, large secure car parking

nice location and good for families. liked the bar and also the interconnecting rooms.

excellent position, loads of parking, very clean , good food available
