Originally built in the early 1800s, The Boot and Shoe enjoys an unrivalled position in the centre of town and has quickly established a reputation for its warm and friendly atmosphere and for the high quality bed and breakfast it offers.

Newly and attractively refurbished and spotlessly clean throughout, The Boot and Shoe retains its period aura, while providing stylishly furnished accommodation in each of its cosy guest rooms.

Traditional comfort is the theme and the décor, in warm russets and restful pastel tones, complements period fireplaces, window seats and woodwork to give each room a homely, individual ambience. Centrally heated and with every facility close at hand, most rooms feature a generously-sized, fully fitted en-suite shower room and all are equipped with colour TV and tea/coffee making facilities.

Accommodation on The Boot and Shoe's top floor comprises one double and one twin room with a shared bathroom, making it ideal for added privacy or families with children. Downstairs in the snug, friendly bar, guests will discover that the same high quality applies to The Boot and Shoe's full breakfast menu, served in the airy glass-roofed conservatory, adjacent to the bar.

A large selection of home-cooked lunchtime meals are served from 11.30am - 2.30pm and whether you choose to relax in the snug bar, or watch the world go by from the Boot and Shoe's cosmopolitan pavement café, you'll agree that The Boot and Shoe offers the perfect choice for visitors to Darlington.
