"Very relaxing area lovely walk, very pleasant village. Very tasty food and good menu clean room. Plenty of parking spaces. We will be back again. "

"From arrival all staff were super friendly and helpful. We mentioned at the bar in the afternoon that it was my husband's birthday and much later that evening he was presented with a happy birthday plate with chocolates on it. The food was beautiful, lovely wine and a chilled out ambience in the lounge. Our room was comfortable and quiet."

"I love staying here. This is my 4th stay. Staff is lovely, rooms are perfect comfortable and it’s great to have the addition of the gym can’t wait to be back"

"Staff were so helpful. Received a free upgrade when we arrived. Only negative was paying £7 per night for parking which we were unaware of."

"Love staying at Blackwell Grange. They always make you feel so welcome. The grange has its mix of the tradition and the modern. The grounds are lovely for a little stroke around too. It will be fantastic when the update on the spar is completed. "

"Fantastic location in Darlington, the hotel was very clean and staff were brilliant. Highly recommended "

"I would like to have given 5 star for service as when we ordered food from the bar the staff were attentive, polite and very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. However earlier in the evening I called the restaurant from the room to book a table, when I had only said hello I was met with a very abrupt ‘the line is terrible’ to which I stated ‘I’m sorry I’m calling from one of the phones in the rooms’. I then proceeded to request a table and again very abruptly told we have nothing until 8.30/8.45. I really felt like it was too much trouble and didn’t feel welcomed at all. I booked the table initially for 6 people, we were I fact part of a lager group of around 20 people staying at the hotel for an event we were attending the next day. Having spoke to the other people in the party we decided against it and ate from the bar instead. I would not recommend anyone to book to dine at the restaurant based on this encounter. Also may I add that most of the tables were not occupied from around 7pm until the time we were told we could eat from so I don’t understand why we couldn’t get a reservation either. Very disappointing experience. "

"Excellent, will definitely use again"

"Fantastic hotel. Pool isn’t in the actual hotel so we didn’t try it, but the hotel is great. Very clean, very helpful staff, very comfortable. "
