Area information

The Blackwell Grange Hotel nestles between the North Yorkshire Moors and the beautiful City of Durham in a county full of mystic legend.

The hotel is just a short walk from the thriving market town of Darlington - with its quaint alleyways, ancient market-place and historic buildings.

To the north of the hotel is Durham, with its spectacular cathedral and castle, whilst south takes you through James Herriot country - rolling hills and meandering rivers - to Richmond, historic York and the spa towns of Ripon and Harrogate.

The Blackwell Grange is ideal for business or a relaxing break.

With this area being steeped in so much history there is just so much to see and do. Visit the magnificent castles around the county of Durham, built by the medieval Prince Bishops. Or wander around the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle, which is astunning French-inspired chateau with impressive paintings, artistic treasures and beautiful gardens.

Beamish Museum shows early 20th century life vividly reconstructed, giving you the chance to experience the life and times of an era gone by.

Just a short drive away to the south is England's Eternal City of York, its history living in its streets, museums and buildings. Whilst sightseeing you can relax over lunch or a drink in the many cafes, bars and restaurants.

To the north, there is the fantastic Metro Shopping Centre - simply you can shop from morning 'til afternoon and still have more to buy!

Important information

Please note that from 1st July 2007 the hotel will be 100% no smoking including bedrooms, when the smokefree England legislation comes in to force.

The room was immaculately clean

The pipes were very noisy, I suppose just because it was an old building. Also the kitchen generator was outside my window, I did not sleep well.

We took our dog with us and we were given a very good room on the ground floor where we could take her our easily. The health club was very nice and we made full benefit of it even though the pool was quite small, it was adequate. The location was excellant

The breakfast was very poor, but this could have been due to the fact that there was a big wedding that had taken place. More staff were needed

the setting of the hotel, the public areas

no hot water on last morning: could indicate either a bolier problem or boiler sizing problem. A warning for the winter months?
