Houndgate Townhouse, Durham

Description: Houndgate Townhouse

Located in the historic centre of Darlington, Houndgate Townhouse is situated in a Grade II listed heritage mansion, originally built in the late 18th century. After a long and eventful history and a number of different uses, the house was purchased by its present owners in 2010. Featuring a careful, sympathetic and extensive renovation, combining modern design with heritage elements, this magnificent property is now an eight bedroom design hotel, restaurant and bar, offering boutique accommodation in the heart of Darlington.

Ideal for both business and pleasure in this buzzing market town, Houndgate Townhouse is less than ten minutes' walk from the railway station, an important stop on the east coast line, and is within easy reach of local government buildings, shopping centres, and many cafés, pubs and clubs.

Featured in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain & Ireland 2015, Houndgate Townhouse's Eleven Restaurant serves a delicious seasonally-changing bistro-style menu, based on the finest locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Meals are served in the light and airy orangery-style extension or, in the warmer months, on the south-facing courtyard. An excellent selection of cocktails, wines and soft drinks are available to accompany meals, and there is also an elegant lounge-bar with chic, contemporary décor.
