Although the bar was out of stock in my chosen drink there were plenty of alternative choices. All the staff couldn't be more helpful, both at check in and the bar

Somewhere cheap to lay your head for the night. Ok but certainly not sparking clean or somewhere to stay for more than a night. Bed was quite comfy and the noise wasn’t too bad considering bar below.
The staff were fantastic. So welcoming and kind, nothing was too much trouble. The decor is a little worn, but all tasteful and clean. The bed was comfy, the shower was great and the breakfast was freahly cooked and delicious.
Staff were fab, food good and very well priced. Room clean and comfy but oh boy the walls were so thin! We could hear the the sound of just about everything next door… including the quietest intake of breath!!

Rooms are OK, dont expect high standard. Food is typical pub food but menu was large so plenty to choose from. Lots of parking and convenient to motorway.
Having family in the village ive known this place my whole life but never stayed but we will definitely be back. Super friendly staff, fabulous room, clean comfortable and elegant. Perfect for a night or two and overall good value.
The darrington is a lovely upbeat place to stay the decor is in line with the place and building itself just right. The pub within the building is great the staff are always helpful even when the bar is full and busy. A pleasant place to stay.
Fantastic staff gave a great welcome from reception to the bar team. Room was brilliant really spacious, clean and comfortable. Food was brilliant with friendly and attentive staff
Customer service excellent room clean condition of room very tried shower did not get very warm crack in ceiling above shower and skirting boards in bathroom paint off it’s a shame because staff were so good
The room was lovely & very big. Nice sofa bed infront of the tv on the wall. We were only there 1 night, so we didnt use the sofa or the tv. The bed was huge, & sooo comfy.
Only issue we had was the shower. It was either hot or scolding. And we couldn't get hold of anyone on the phone to assist us. There should be a direct number to reception for emergencies or problems, as I had to go down to reception in my pj's & then wait for someone to come from the restaurant to see me.
However, the lady was very helpful. She came & tested the shower & agreed it was far too hot. She gave us access to an empty room, luckily it was only next door, so we could use that shower. I must say that the shower was one of the smallest I've ever seen. Anyone larger would not have got in there. I could'nt reach down to my feet lol. But at least I was clean & could wash my hair.
It was easy to get to . Sraff were helpful . Food was good

Great service, great staff. Decor a little tired.
The staff were excellent and the room was lovely and quiet. The beds were really comfy. I would only say that the shower cubicle was very cramped with a drench shower head which was unnerving for my elderly mum and the carpets and some fixtures were a little tired.
Was a lovely hotel with lovely staff in a nice location, I do like the kings inn hotels but admittedly the bathroom wasn’t very clean nor modern and it did smell a little, but it was still good for the price we paid to stay there. The bed was comfortable and we had a sleep without any disturbances. Also breakfast was nice, and the bar maids were very nice and it was very calm and chilled to sit and have a drink in the evening.
