Swallow hotels were the best hotel brand in the country. They were owned by vaux at Sunderland for many many years till they turned PLC.
Three years ago whitbread plc bought out the company and transformed the best into Marriott Brand Hotels. The plan was then to sell off the Swallow Hotels that were not branded , however this did not happen no real buyers and in fact some Swallow Hotels were doing really well.
The two best hotels are Rushyford and The Eden Arms. both old coach houses well managed nice and cosy.
Swallow hotels are called after the Swallow because they always return to the same place every year.
And so it is with the Eden Arms just outside Durham.
This hotel is well Managed wonderful staff and great food and acomodation .
You all must try it give it a go its sparkling.
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
Sorry for the rating, but op requires much more info - no of outlets, price range, facilities, your comment about the best two suggests you have stayed in quite a few - what about food quality, service, room space, facilities etc. If you update, let me know and I will be only too happy to rerate.
