WELCOME TO BLACKWELL GRANGE HOTEL

Blackwell Grange Hotel is a stunning 17th Century mansion, which enjoys an enviable setting in the beautiful County Durham Countryside. Situated midway between the historic cities of York and Newcastle, right on the border of North Yorkshire and nestled between the stunning landscape of both the Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors, Blackwell Grange provides a warm northern welcome like no other and is the perfect base to explore the wonders of this beautiful part of the country.

The A1 (M) is less than 10 minutes from the hotel and Darlington railway station on the East Coast mainline is also close by with links to London’s Kings Cross St Pancras just 2 ½ hrs away. These excellent transport links, along with Free WiFi throughout the hotel and free parking make Blackwell Grange a great meeting venue for your next business event. A choice of 5 meeting rooms can cater for up to 250 delegates.

After a busy day exploring the North East, or a busy day of meetings, relax in the leisure club situated on-site at Blackwell Grange. You can enjoy a dip in the heated swimming pool, spa, solarium, sauna and gym – or enjoy a treatment in our beauty salon.

WEDDINGS

Blackwell Grange Hotel is the perfect wedding venue in Darlington. From the moment you turn into the long winding driveway and catch your first glimpse of the Georgian façade you know you are somewhere very special. Set in 9 acres of glorious countryside the hotel grounds are perfect for those all-important photographs. Inside too, the splendour of the original sweeping staircase and fireplaces are truly breath-taking and a perfect backdrop to celebrating your special day.

Our Hotel offers a choice of beautiful suites within peaceful and picturesque surroundings to enjoy your wedding day. The Jacobean with its original high oak beamed ceiling and staircase can accommodate up to 150 guests by day and 200 by night. There is also a rear walled garden for your photographs and you also have private use of Minstrels Bar. For the more modest weddings, we can offer the George Allan Suite, with its traditional décor; this beautiful room overlooks the grounds and offers direct access to the gardens.
