Darlington High Cross House Hotels

"I didn’t receive the automated email with check in information. But a quick email to the owner & he replied quickly with the code. I didn’t arrive at the property until the evening (dark out) I think it would be good in the check in information it’s shared where to find the key box. The house is on a busy road; so you could hear the traffic a lot. The parking at the front of the house is questionable. Expecting you to park on the path. I was worried my car would get hit. The pictures show the back of the property which would be an ideal parking space if they made it accessible. On the welcome note, it would have been nice to include the WiFi information rather than having to hunt for it. Kitchen facilities were adequate - if you intend to cook, I would bring disposable trays with you as the one that they have is going rusty. We didn’t use the pans, so can’t comment on that. Lack of glasses - had 1 juice glass & 1 wine glass. So we were stuck using mugs for cold drinks. The bedrooms were spacious. Comfortable beds. You can hear the main road from the back bedroom. Fortunately I’m a deep sleeper & once asleep, I stayed sleep. On our 2nd night we were awoken at 3am by very loud music playing - assume it was a neighbour. Lasted for about an hour. Whilst relatively comfortable, if I had known the house was by such a busy road & parking wasn’t off road, I would have booked a different accommodation. "

"Staff were friendly parking out back - and easy access to room "
