The Grey Horse

Good for stay not bad..but poor wifi connection

Was away with friends for a weekend in Darlington so we booked 2 double rooms. Rooms above a pub that on the photos looked pleasant and clean but appearances were deceptive. Room 2 our friends stayed in, broken curtain pole, stains against the wall, uncomfortable bed and shower was cold! Room 6, bed uncomfortable and again another cold shower. Left both showers running for 5 minutes and no change! The carpets in the hallway are a trip hazard. Worst of all there the door into the bar was locked and the exit door was locked and we didn't have a key and had to wait until the manager turned up at 9.30am to let us out! What if we needed to leave early?? Fire hazard as well. When we raised all our concerns to the manager he really wasn't interested and didn't offer any apologies. He simply didn't care!! Will book into a Premier Inn next time.

We have stayed here 4 times in the last couple of years, cheap and cheerful, well, was, new manager, not very friendly and messed us about, won't be staying again, shame really. The room this time had a half assembled cystern unit that was not fixed, the landing carpet has a flapping gap.

Stayed for one night. Had a room directly above the dart board, pool table and could hear music until late in the night. Walls are pretty thin so could hear the people in the room next to me and opposite. Could hear everyone who came onto the floor of the rooms. Friendly staff and pretty basic room. Had no curtain as it was broken but had blinds. Bathrooms could be updated.

The food is absolutely first class we eat here quite often and never had a bad meal Hustle also do Sunday carvery also spot on, service is always good nice clean environment friendly helpful staff would highly recommend

Due to circumstances beyond my control we were not able to stay at this hotel as planned. What I can tell you it that the staff here are brilliant, gave us such a warm welcome and really made us feel at home. Plus the food smelt absolutely delicious

We found this place as a stop gap to a long drive to Scotland, staff really friendly and helpful, food and drink exceptional. Accommodations great considering it’s not expensive. I would recommend anytime if you are look to stay over or visit tees

JHC!! where do i start with this one?,......... Room was stinking, hairs everywhere, blood stains too. mold, filth and dirt add to that excessive noise from the bar, playing music really loud, even when the pub was empty. it does not stop. i went into bar, empty not even staff were there yet the music soooo loud. food menu was awful, literally everything comes covered in cheese. and nothing nice on it either. i served 2 tours and stayed in better and cleaner holes than this place
