Rooms decorated nicely although a bit tired looking. Staff very friendly. Bathroom had not been cleaned properly, hair still in the shower and sink and an awful stain running down the side of the sink. Room was advertised as having a rainfall shower, I received a room with a tiny broken shower head that was leaking so badly there was no pressure, it was also far too low, I’m 6ft and I had to bend down to shower. You can also hear all the noise from the corridor as there are large gaps in the door.

Not quite a premier inn
Check out on the Hotels.com website says 12:00 noon check out but its 11:00 am, main carpets need cleaning and a little paint in the room wouldn't go a miss Toilet takes required to pump the flush.
TV signal on and off. Would stay again even though a few minor points.also first time ever I've seen a insect trap in the room at the side of the Bed and I've travelled the world.

Bathroom in the bedroom was dirty, roof peeling black mold around shower. Picture frame in main bedroom broken and sharp edge.
Staircase is missing a spindle which is surely against the law with risk of a child falling through.
Banister outside broken and unsafe.
All outside area dirty rubbish blowing around seating area at front of pub dirty tables & manus in pub area.
The best thing about the pub is the manager who was on shift Saturday day / night.

The darrington is a lovely upbeat place to stay the decor is in line with the place and building itself just right. The pub within the building is great the staff are always helpful even when the bar is full and busy. A pleasant place to stay.

Would not return there
Friendly staff, however I feel sorry for them working in an establishment that as had no investment or upkeep for a long time. Our room was very tired, the bathroom was dusty, mold in the shower and the ceiling was in great need of attention, the corridor was smelly. Shame on a company like Greene King not to take more care of one of its establishment.

Darrington visit
Quick trip to the area. Hotel was very handy for where i needed to be. Plenty of free parking.. check in lady was great. Room was fine. A bit chilly but the heating soon sorted that. Neighbours were a pain in the rear end. Noisy at 1am. Not the fault of the hotel of course. Had dinner on site. Reasonably priced and very nice. Breakfast was included and was great. Key drop check out. Will i use this one again. Definitely yes.
