Nearly perfect
The Bannatyne hotel is perfectly located for a great night out in Darlington. With a 5 minute walk your in the town centre. My room was clean, bed was comfy, staff were really nice and helpful, breakfast was plentiful and tasty. My one and only criticism is that there Menu doesn't cater for people who just want a lite bite like sandwiches and chips, or wraps or quick salad. They only do a set Menu.
