Thought to date back to the 1770s, Houndgate Townhouse provides an elegant setting for luxurious en suite accommodation in central Darlington. With a restaurant, bar and lounge, it also offers free Wi-Fi and room service.

This is a beautiful 1770’s property which gives a boutique classic vibe. Exceptional quality and value for money with the added bonus of the Saltfish restaurant showcasing seafood. Lovely outdoor terrace area , very friendly staff, well placed for town centre and easy reach of Durham and the beautiful NE in general . Highly recommend.

    House was spotless upon arrival Rooms are gorgeous it's clear this house is loved and cared for by the owner. There was more than enough space for 2 couples to have privacy in the evenings Brilliant, quiet location Quite large garden, would be lovely in summer months, and sand bin was provided for those of us who smoke. We definitely plan to return to the property

    The hotel is nicely appointed and decorated. The public areas are super with some lovely interior design pieces. The restaurant is also very nicely done out. The food in the restaurant is good also. The rooms are comfortable and clean and there are leisure facilities available. The price I thought was exceptional.

    Working away from home is never great but being able to stay in this gorgeous place made it so much nicer and a perfect date night for us ! I was greeted by lovely staff and a warm welcome is always a good sign ! The room was a lovely size , spotlessly clean with en-suite and tea/coffee making facilities. We both slept incredibly well in a large comfy bed and felt very refreshed .

The food was excellent well priced and absolutely gorgeous. Considering the most reasonable price there were no short cuts, 5 star accommodation and food at 1 star costs.. Couldn't have asked for more. Just wonderfull
