3-star countryside hotel overlooking the River Tees

This 16th-century coaching inn is just a short distance from Darlington, making it accessible for both leisure and business travelers. Guests can enjoy the surrounding countryside while being close to major towns.

The hotel offers 33 unique bedrooms, each reflecting the history and character of the inn.

Event Spaces

“I found the staff consistently helpful and the setting by the river surprisingly tranquil, especially considering its proximity to Darlington. Rooms, particularly those in the newer block or the 'cottage,' are spacious and well-appointed, with comfort as a clear priority, though some of the older main building rooms retain a rustic charm that might appeal to certain tastes. The value here is notably strong, making it a practical choice for a return visit.”
