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.

Hotel: With only a few rooms it is a rather small, very personal hotel. Everything is nicely done and it rather feels like coming home, than checking in. It is very clean, modern standards and has all facilities you might need, such as sewing kit, ironing board, blow dryer,… it’s all there. We needed adapters for continental plugs - no problem - got three! The beds (we had room 5 with two separate beds) are great. Long enough for a 6 foot person, not too soft and not to hard, with a fluffy blanket a good nights sleep was guaranteed! But the best was the service. The team is as friendly as it can get. Everyone is looking after giving you an easy, pleasant stay. Restaurant: the included breakfast is great. You can hardly ask for more. We also had dinner at ‘Saltfish’, the restaurant at the hotel. The food is very good and so is the variety of offered dishes. They serve non-fish as well as vegetarian. There is also a small bar, but we didn’t try any drinks.

This historical town house is less than a mile from Darlington town centre. It has free limited parking and free internet.

The stylish and modern Maxine’s Restaurant and Bar offers fresh, seasonal British food, great wines and single malt whiskies.

The quality of the accommodation was fantastic. The hotel is beautiful and the breakfast was well worth it. The grounds outside the hotel were beautiful. This is the most exceptional place I have stayed in Darington.

    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.

    The hotel architecture and interior design is beautiful downstairs and in the restaurant and bar. Very beautiful. Also the outdoor garden with two lovely bandstands in a hidden part of the town, screened by large trees is just lovely. So the location, hotel outdoor and general areas are very nice. Staff are also lovely.
