The shop has an area for currency exchange and always offer great rates of exchange. The store has a large shelving unit along one way with a huge range of holiday brochures which are free to take and browse through. Along the other wall is a long cashier style table area which is split into little sections for each different travel agent. The staff are extremely helpful and are happy to give you a lot of attention and advice.

Nice Hotel, lovely big old building, friendly staff, and half decent rooms. Never ate in here, but…read moreI believe the food is rather pleasant. The bar is ok, with late residents serving .. The guy that works as the security during late serving is very friendly and attentive, during normal hours the bar and restaurant are manned by happy and welcoming staff. This will come as a welcome relief to many staying here, as it is a great place to escape the local pillocks of Richmond, who don't seem to enter this place due to the presence of decent conversation and nice interior decor ..

The Douglas hotel is 3* star hotel with is located in a few minutes walk away from the town…read more The area is controlled by permit parking but the hotel will give you a permit to pop into your window screen, I didn't know this and instead parked many streets away until I found a street that was not a permit parking street (looked a bit rough thou) The hotel is quit a nice building with high ceilings and spotlessly clean. The room thou are probably what I would describe as ideal for contractors but not ideal to take the Mrs to but this was only my experience as I was located in the newer modern wing and not in the main hotel. The hotel gets many guests visiting to the restaurant and not booking into the hotel. The restaurant is extremely popular to locals and thou the menu is quit small, all of the food was cooked from fresh by chefs rather than from the freezer by cooks. The food here is absolutely spot-on and better than most restaurants. The staff are efficient, polite and friendly. In general it was quit cheap for the room, clean and food is 100% The hotel owners also own and run the local fishmongers what is the best I have ever come across. - See my reviews for Hodgson fishmonger in Hartlepool. The hotel therefore offers some really good, top quality, fresh fish in their restaurant.
