We got married at Bannatyne Hotel on October 6th and we can honestly say it was the best day of our lives! From the moment we walked into Bannatyne we knew it was the place for us and the fantastic service we had on the day confirmed this. Every email I sent and every question I asked (no matter how...

I don't believe Mr Bannatyne can have stayed here recently otherwise he may be concerned about his name being linked with both the standard of accomodation and some of the customer service. We stayed for one night when attending a wedding in May. Originally we were shown to room 33, the 'only' 'family' room. It was up a narrow staircase,... More

Stayed one night on a business trip. Staff were friendly and helpful and the room comfortable and well equipped. It's an older building, with more character than most and kept in good repair. Minor niggles: the WiFi made changes to my computer and I had to delete browser history afterwards to get rid of them. This is not on. The... More

Stayed here or 1 night as part of a Hen spa doo! The reception staff were very warm an welcoming, and first impressions of the exterior and interior of the hotel were very good. It's a lovely character building, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere inside. We enjoyed a lovely spa treatment at the nearby gym. This was then followed... More

I visited the hotel recently for my birthday meal. There was 19 of us altogether and we therefore decided to book out the study (which can be made private) and can seat up to 20 guests. I have dined at the hotel many times before and it is consistently excellent, yet the private dining offers an extra special experience. The... More

Whenever we are in Darlington, we stay at Bannatyne's and it never disappoints. Clean, comfortable, good food, good service, good prices, excellent location, what more could you want? Although the health club/spa is not located on premises, it's an easy walk and well worth going. We'll be back in Darlington again and will look forward to being welcomed by familiar... More

This was the first time we stayed here and we felt warmly welcomed. Very well maintained hotel and restaurant, where the food and service also matched up. Will definitely be returning in the near future and would recommend this place to others. Thanks!

Have been using this Hotel on and off since about 2007 and have always had a soft spot for it. It is one of those hotels that just seems to work. It is getting a little bit worn and would benefit from a bit of redecoration here and the, but it is still a great place to stay. A nice... More

On a cold night the December, my wife and I arrived in Darlington. A typical town in England conuntryside and locals very friendly. Our surprise was to find a hotel with excellent standard as the Bannatyne. The hotel is not new but is well maintained, very beautiful inside and out. The bedroom with bathroom very spacious and comfortable, large bed... More
