stayed here for our wedding night and was allocated the oriental suite. Must say it was sublime, massive bed, flatscreen tv, stand alone bath, power shower, wine and chocolates in room, everything was fantastic. The staff were also very good, all very friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast was served in the restaurant and was of a very high quality, just... more

We just happened to pick the hottest day of the year to stay -yes there was one! rooms did not have aircon or a fan and the windows only opened a fraction so a very very hot night. Rooms were spacious and clean, though the themes a little odd. Very old building as the floors are quite uneven so if... more

Describing itself as Darlington's premier boutique hotel is, I think, damning itself with faint praise. The staff were brilliant - in every respect. Helpful, friendly and efficient. And full marks for free wireless internet access and free wine and water in the rooms. Many hotels that cost three times the price don't provide these facilities.

The Croft is worth a visit. Staff are very friendly, personal and helpful - makes all the difference. General fabric of the place is a little tired and the plumbing in the rooms is not great. Themed rooms are good fun - some are a bit quirky though. more

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Restaurant ok and reasonable value, but decor is a bit overpowering. Breakfast service was very slow - not a good start to... more

I recently stayed at 'The Croft' formally Croft Spa and I have to say what a refreshing change. The hotel has been lovingly restored and offers very refreshing bedrooms. The room I stayed in was called 'The Oriental' which had marvellous authentic 'thai' furntiure and deep red walls. Definatly the best small hotel I have come across in years! more
