Best Western Walworth Castle Hotel

This hotel was a trip highlight. Stunning building, easy parking and delicious breakfast. Huge bathroom and possibly the cleanest we have ever seen in a hotel. Fresh air, friendly staff and we would love to have stayed longer. Special hour out to the stocks in the kids playground. Love it!

It was our first stay and we will definitely consider a return. The downside was the extra cost for the taxi to and from the train station in Darlington as it’s about a15/20 minute drive to get there. It looks like the perfect venue for a wedding, one was happening during our stay and it looked fantastic. The staff were very good and we had a lovely Sunday lunch. Another slight issue was the noise in the annex building rooms, doors slamming, and expel air as well as conversations could be heard from the adjoining rooms as the walls are very thin. However, overall it was a great overnight stay and subsequent perfect family Sunday lunch. We will definitely return at some point in the future and will recommend it to friends. The wedding package looked fantastic at a very good price and I would recommend it to anyone planning one to check it out.

We stayed one night while visiting family nearby, we were greeted warmly at reception and provided with information about the hotel and our stay. The room was comfortable and clean and the facilities to a good standard. This is a very old building and as such some aspects were either a little dated or in need of sprucing up. But having said that there was nothing to dislike about the hotel. Staff were always really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The surroundings were beautiful. And the price was very reasonable. I would be happy to stay again.
