Rooms at the Boot and Shoe

Gone are the magnolia walls and tired furniture and the rooms are now spectacular. --- newly decorated and refurnished with modern furniture. A staircase leads up to the rooms( this has also been highly decorated and a beautiful thick grey carpet. Stayed in what's now called the "Green"room. You can instantly tell that the landlord Chris and his wife Sue have worked really hard getting this room ready. It's spectacular. A plush green velvet bed with beautiful bedding very comfortable mattress. There's a large seating area complete with matching green velvet armchairs-- white coffee table that matches the 2 very large storage units to complete that area there's a beautiful fireplace. One the wall is a large smart tv with Netflix included -- free Wi-Fi available. Tea coffee facilities plus a Tassimo coffee machine. Hairdryer provided -- only problem I noticed was there was no mirror in bedroom area so you can see what you're doing when wanting to use hairdryer or put makeup on. Have mentioned this to Chris and he's going to rectify that issue. The bathroom area has also been gutted out -- it's now a beautiful spacious room--complete with electric shower which is very easy to use. Loads of fluffy towels and shower gel/ shampoo and conditioner all provided. Some of the rooms have yet to be completed,but they too are going to be the same high standard. Next time you fancy staying over in Darlington,call in and see Chris or Sue about one of their rooms --- you will not be disappointed -- very high standard and worth the money

Real down to earth pub, rough and ready- I love it. Beer great, karaoke great - don't like the new red hooter machine that supposedly gives you a chance of 25% off- it keeps going 'full price' which I suppose it is designed to do. Bring back the bonus card system where you are guaranteed 10% off your drinks. Some dreadful singers but some pretty good ones and the DJ is a terrific wag.
