The Chequers Inn, hotel in Darlington

A 9-minute drive from Darlington, The Chequers Inn offers well-appointed rooms and a restaurant and bar. In the village of Dalton-on-Tees, it offers free parking and Wi-Fi.

This was a little stop over on our way up to Scotland. We were met with a very warm and friendly welcome and were able to check in straightaway. The family room was perfect, with a full sized single bed in addition to a king size. Both were extremely comfortable. We ate at the Inn on both evenings - WoW! You won't leave hungry - very much enjoyed our meal on the first night and decided to eat there again on our second night. The Inn is very dog friendly and we felt that our stay, including food, was very good value for money.

The Devonport, hotel in Darlington

Located in Darlington and with Middlesbrough Cathedral reachable within 22 km, The Devonport provides express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, a restaurant, free WiFi and a bar.

I had a flat as it was the only room left on that particular day. I was a solo traveller there for one night so it wasnt of great benefit to me but if you were there in a couple it would be a great base as it also comes with a reasonably sized kitchenette. The views over the countryside are superb. The hotel is cosy, busy with a lively atmosphere and reasonably priced menu and drinks.

The venue was right in the centre of the town - easily accessible to all the local places. The host was wonderful - even when I had to rush off for a family emergency and forgot to pay! The pub was opening the weekend I was staying there, with excellent live music and great beers on offer.

    We were in room 5 and it is bigger than most - very comfortable. We ate dinner at the hotel and it was superb. Breakfast was al la carte and very scrummy.

    An easy stroll from the station, the Houndgate Townhouse is ideally located. The room was small but had everything I needed, was spotlessly clean and a bed I could have slept in for days. The breakfast was off the charts, so, so good. Would definitely come back and try dinner next time. Strongly recommend.

    The property was immaculate. The room was very spacious and comfortable. We ate dinner there too and both it and the included breakfast the following day were delicious. The staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly and we were able to charge our EV for free overnight making our trip totally relaxed and hassle free.

    Hands down the easiest place to stay for Croft circuit - it's about a 2 minute drive away. Breakfast from 7am on weekdays for early starts. Rooms comfortable and great value for money. Breakfast is great and the Sunday lunch roast dinners (best to book - can be very busy) are fantastic and absolutely enormous - highly recommended.

    Wonderful period property in a central location. The rooms are so spacious and clean with very comfortable beds. Both dinner and breakfast that we had in the hotel’s Saltfish restaurant were amazing. The thing that really sets this hotel apart is just how friendly and welcoming are the staff.

    Located in a small village south of Darlington & off the A1 the accomodation was perfect for our needs. A local Inn, with local friendly, northern charm. Great value for money, good choice of evening meals & a great cooked breakfast to set you up for the day.

    Lovely Roman fort and bridge ruins in the village - worth a visit.. Nice river walk. Pretty setting. Although heavy traffic! Coaching inn dating back to 1500 - which is still in the process of being restored - bit by bit! It looks like a slow project but what has been finished is nicely done. Bar area rustic and lovely. Upstairs for rooms. Beautifully furnished, clean and very comfortable bed.
