The Grey Horse - A historic pub with en suite rooms, live sports, and a cocktail bar

Established in 1832, The Grey Horse offers seven en suite rooms, including two family rooms, each equipped with free WiFi, TV, tea/coffee facilities, and private bathrooms. Guests can enjoy live sports on in-house screens and a selection of premium drinks at the bar, including signature cocktails like the British Breeze and Purple Rain. The Grey Horse is located in Haughton, approximately 1.6 km from Darlington city center, with Teesside International Airport 5 km away. Nearby attractions include the National Railway Museum at Shildon and Butterfly World.

Pros

The historic pub setting provides a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Live sports screenings and a well-stocked bar cater to entertainment needs.

Family rooms accommodate larger groups comfortably.

Convenient location with proximity to Darlington and key transport links.

Cons

Limited dining options beyond breakfast and bar snacks.

“Location proves ideal for travellers needing Teesside Airport, and it's a short drive into Darlington for shops and theatre. Rooms are consistently reported as clean and spacious, and the presence of a convivial bar is a definitive plus. For a budget-conscious stay, the hotel presents real value.”
