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.

    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.

    Lovely cosy barn conversion which was spotlessly clean. The outside area was great with comfortable seating and the hot tub was excellent to relax in especially at night. The property is ideally suited for Barnard Castle. The hosts (Allison and Jamie) are really friendly and can't do enough to help. The welcome pack was a great addition including milk, cereals, jams and a bottle of Prosecco. We had a top experience and will be back.

    It's cheap and cheerful. Stayed here numerous times over 7 years and naturally looking a bit 'tired' (aren't we all‽) but basically a nice hotel in a super location. Spacious free car park. Good bus service into the town centre. Tea and coffee making facilities in room and kitchenette available if you bring your own food, although a very decent chain pub/ restaurant literally next door. As a budget hotel, I would recommend.
