"We visited Rushton Hall hotel for a short break, attracted by its history, the ability to go for walks in the grounds, and the spa. On arrival, we were upgraded to a larger room, which had a generous super king bed and an enormous bathroom, in the old part house. The bed was comfortable, with quality bed linen, and our bathroom had both a shower and a deep freestanding bath. The towels were lovely and fluffy, and were changed daily. A bonus was the addition of air-conditioning, although it's location meant you've got a bit of a breeze if you left it on overnight. The decor was a little tired in places, but it did not affect our stay. The house itself dates largely from the 17th century, and the wood-panelled interiors are what you would expect of an English country house. The Great Hall and the Drawing Room are particularly impressive, but it was also lovely to sit and have a drink in the central courtyard. Breakfast was not included in our package, and it was an extra £20 per head. However, the buffet (both continental and cooked), meant you had a good choice, and additional items were available to order at no extra charge (such as poached or fried eggs, vegetarian sausages, kippers, etc). We ate our evening meals in the Brasserie; quality was good, some items better than others, although desserts were very nice. Staff were obliging and very pleasant throughout. We would happily return."

"The staff were wonderful "

"Having stayed in the Holiday Inn Darlington the previous night and having a terrible experience I was worried about what I would find at the Holiday Inn. Any concerns disappeared on entering. The hotel foyer was inviting, the reception staff professional, welcoming and friendly. The bedroom was immaculately clean, well furnished and inviting. The restaurant staff could not have been more helpful and in comparing with Darlington the quality of the ingredients and production of the meals were very good. The range of food at breakfast was again excellent. Overall the experiece could not be faulted."

"The staff were very kind and helpful. The room was excellent in terms of the size and view. "

"Fantastic Hotel. Fantastic service. Really comfy bed"

"Great hotel, fantastic bowling addition - was great to have a few games with the family. Dinner was ok, very little gluten free options on the childrens menu but the kitchen tried their best to accommodate a 10 year old. Our room was very spacious, only let down was the shower - this was broken, so trying to get 4 people bathed was a pain. "

"This hotel is definitely an experi"

"Fantastic hotel and superb value for money. The room allocated to me was spacious and quiet. Breakfast also very good. The only niggling point was the warmth of the room at night - the desk fan helped but the room still felt a bit warm to sleep in. Appreciate not an easy fix! "
