Superb Hotel & Restaurant; exceptional staff and service...

Cannot rate this place highly enough. Perfect location for travelling on business (or social/holidays) in the centre of Darlington just a short walk or cab from the station. Exceptionally decorated and maintained hotel, extremely comfortable rooms/beds, perfectly proportioned. They think of everything - room has space which can be used as a desk or vanity unity, excellent high speed wifi. All floors lift accessible.
The bar is brilliant and the restaurant even better - exceptional food at every meal. They host events at times and I can see why; you could have a lovely party / (small-ish) wedding here and everyone would complement the food. Fresh fish, Oysters, vegetarian selection, high quality steaks. Fish is their speciality (Saltfish is the name of the restaurant). Very good selection of wine to suit all tastes and budgets but very, very good quality at all levels.
Finally, the thing that really stands out is the service. Jack and his team are just brilliant. Accommodating and welcoming I cannot recommend this place enough. Have stayed twice on business and will be bringing my family back for a leisure break soon.

Sixtieth Birthday celebration

My lovely wife has spoilt me to a night away and a foodies fairytale of excellence and exquisite wine.
A Birthday treat that was like no other!
Made feel at home as soon as we walked in. Drinks at the bar served by lovely staff and so knowledgeable.
As a chef of forty years under my belt it was such a pleasure to listen to their wine recommendations. A real treat!
The room we had was second to none but 5 star standard. Amazing. A lovely touch from the team, a bottle of Fizz awaiting us as we unpacked.
For me my meal was simply an epicurean delight, Oysters to start which were divine.
Followed by a very comforting surf and turf steak and huge red prawns. Delicious!
Accompanied by a superb bottle of Fleurie. Along with great friends for company, the whole team at Saltfish are simply amazing. So helpful and super efficient!
A massive thank you to you all for making my Birthday so special.
Also….. The best Old Fashioned and Espresso Martini ever!!!
Thank you‍

Disappointed

Not too impressed with evening meal or breakfast. Had small fish and chips and the chips were obviously REHEATED and there was very little FISH in the FISH at a guess about 3 or 4 ounces peas nice. Breakfast very very oily I had a poached eggs with mushrooms but they were lathered in cheap olive oil. Room nice but very very small
