I enjoyed may stay at The Grange. Room was very clean, comfortable. Breakfast was perfect, I couldn't of asked for more. Everything was well organised. The hosts where very nice and helpful which I very much appreciated.

An excellent location for travellers on the A1 and easy to find. Very helpful staff. The restaurant was very popular with families, but our menu choices was not as well cooked as I would have liked and the breakfast was poorly cooked, but this is a personal view. The whole place looked tired and Greene King need to take more care of its inns, this is the second time we have stayed in one and the hot water boiler has failed and there has been no hot water.

Darrington is a small well to do village near Pontefract. Bus service is minimal. Lots of big houses and well tended lawns. There are two pubs and a small general store. Church and church hall are set back from the road (which is busy) We were having a post breakfast stroll guessing the property prices and a local lady invited us to a coffee morning, which was nice.

The hotel was right next to the A1M but had little if any noise from it. It was ideal to break up the journey further north for a funeral & then the return journey. Bed was very comfortable and large, staff were very welcoming and friendly, having a pub attached gave a great choice for evening meals and breakfast.
The only criticism was the occasional uneven floor in the room

I travelled to spend time with family. The staff are great. Location is good just off the A1. We visited Bridlington Beach for the day, which has a lovely beach and funfair and restaurants. It is about 1 hour and 20 mins from Darrington.

The only good point for our reason for being there was the location.
Every other aspect of the Darrington Hotel was unpleasant, in fact downright disgusting! The place is filthy and the constant TV sport, in every nook and cranny, is unbearable.
The rooms are tiny, the shower was minute and we had one chair between us. No hanging space or drawers.
The food was awful, badly cooked, badly presented, cheap and nasty, though not to buy! The breakfasts were appalling! Little choice, poor quality, like warm water to make tea or coffee, there was nothing good about the breakfasts. The staff? Scruffy! One lad in particular, with filthy jeans, long dirty hair and an arrogant swagger, looked more like a tramp than a waiter!
Many years ago we lived in Darrington and that hotel was our local. It was then a decent, well kept place. Now, it is simply disgusting!
It was a good place to stop for an overnight stay as we were going to our sons 40th birthday party, which was just a few minutes down the road from the hotel. The room was clean and tidy, as was the toilet. There were coffee and tea making facilities in the room as well as the usual hair dryer and iron. So all positive. The receptionist was pleasant and quickly booked us into our room. As we were eating and drinking at our sons, we couldn't comment on the bar facilities at the hotel as we didn't use it that night.
Vicky, Paul and Lorraine were all outstanding in their hospitality!!! couldn’t rate them enough. The food was very enjoyable and the staff were all incredibly friendly. My mum and I arrived at the Darrington with my two small children who obviously are very needing. Everyone was super helpful and I asked for a lot from them and they were all ready to help out! Even when it came to warming to the children’s milk up! No complaints, just genuinely happy to help.
Hotel reception is just left of the pub, so you don't have to walk through the pub. Our room was large, with a full ensuit. Shower over bath, lots of very hot water. The staff were all lovely & friendly. The hotel is located just off the A1 but we didn't hear any traffic. Large free carpark.
Decent breakfast, choices of fresh fruit, yogurts, pastries, cereal, toast and the hearty full English.
Very good, spotless room. Comfortable bed/pillows. Excellent breakfast/meals at the adjoining restaurant. Loads of outside areas to sit/for kids to play. All staff we had contact with were exceptionally friendly & helpful. Perfect location for our needs very close to A1 and M62. Will use this hotel again.
We were looking for a reasonably priced hotel to break our journey and this was just off the A1, so fitted the bill. It was a no fuss, no frills experience - simple check in, the room was recently refurbed with a comfortable bed and was fine for one night. We ate in the pub which was really convenient.
Location brilliant for closeness to pontefract.Small problem with milk+teabags in room but but Ian on reception was awesome!!!,Sorted it asap!!Really nice staff in the hotel+Restaurant,Well done guys!!!!
Great location, although near A1 it was very quiet. Just refurbished and spacious room. Friendly and helpful staff. We ate dinner and breakfast at hotel, both very enjoyable.
