Blackwell Grange Hotel
Review
Blackwell Grange Hotel in Darlington is a stunning 17th-century retreat that fully earns its place among my Top 100 Romantic Destinations. Privately owned and run, it has that warm, attentive hospitality you expect from its Irish owners, no surprise, given I’ve also endorsed their sister property, Breaffy House Resort, in my Island of Ireland book. Bedrooms are fabulously designed for lingering: plush beds, thoughtful touches, and a calm, contemporary elegance layered over period character. The spa is a soothing escape for two, perfect before dinner and a sunset stroll. If you’re feeling swept away, this is a beautiful setting to pop the question, then maybe return to plan your dream wedding with a team who do actually listen. Set within landscaped grounds and mature trees, the house feels secluded yet convenient for exploring the area. For a weekend of romance, celebration, or simply reconnection, Blackwell Grange has everything you need.
