High Paradise Farm aptly named as this place is truly magical. I loved the individual character of my room which had all amenities to make it a truly comfortable and relaxing stay. Well stocked kitchenette, lovely big bathroom and very comfortable bed. I particularly valued the privacy this place offered. Ginny (one of the owners) was around and extremely helpful and friendly. I love the ethos of this place and will definitely return come rain or shine.

The Croft Hotel

Darlington

10/10 Excellent

Such a shame this fabulous hotel is not advertised on more websites like Expedia because they must be missing out on a great number of bookings. The accommodation is excellent and comfortable with everything you could want or need. The breakfast is also excellent, well cooked with high quality locally sourced produce. The staff are friendly and a joy to talk to. This is a lovely hotel and we would not hesitate to visit in the future. Highly recommended.
