Once again we had a lovely stay at The Grange. The hosts Sarah and Stewart were very welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. Spotless room with delicious breakfasts cooked by Stewart. We will be back.

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.
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!
Although close to the A1 road you enter another world at the Darrington. The rooms are at the back of the Building and are reasonably quiet. They are newly refurbished and very comfortable.
The Staff are all fantastic making you feel welcome and if they know you personally without being too familiar.
This is a Hungry Horse franchise so the range of food on offer is great value and excellent quality. Recommend Mollys poached eggs for breakfast if she is cooking.
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.
Lovely room. Looked like the hotel had been revamped as all decor was fresh throughout. The room had tea facilities, a hairdryer, decent TV and a good shower room. The bed was very comfy. Located within a pub so perfect for a few drinks and food. Good location for travelling up the A1 as a stopover.
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!!!!
The hotel was clean and very comfortable with all facilities you would require during a work trip away. It was very close to the A1 which was handy for me working. The food in the evenings was also great
For the price breakfast was ok. But lower quality of food.
Bath in bedroom was small and difficult to get out of.
But over all the hotel was great for a stop over.
