Great welcome. Easy parking. Good atmosphere in the bar and restaurant. Food delicious. Room clean and spacious with comfy bed and big opening sash windows for fresh air in this hot spell. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Clean, but small.

Great place. Would gladly return.

The hotel staff were friendly and polite. The room was clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water. The room was serviced every day, which we didn't expect. There was an extensive menu with excellent food. (My coeliac husband was well catered for.)

Great place,clean and friendly

Excellently appointed, very clean, excellent service, very comfortable room and great breakfast. What more could you want?

Great pub, with lovely staff and delicious food. We stayed in one of the offsite rooms which was clean and comfortable, would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Lovely hotel, very clean & friendly. Perfect location. Would recommend.

The hotel offered very comfortable accommodation. Room was very clean and quiet and we enjoyed our hot bath after a long walk earlier in the day. Breakfast was excellent. We would certainly come again.

Located in the centre of town - a short walk from Barnard Castle itself, the magnificent Bowes Museum, local shops and bus services. Although the pub and restaurant were packed, the staff provided excellent, friendly and efficient service. Great menus for dinner and breakfast and the food itself was superb in every respect. Parking can be an issue - the hotel's own parking has very limited spaces and is some distance from the hotel itself although porterage was offered for baggage. Our room (4) was very comfortable, quiet, clean and peaceful - perhaps stronger bedside lighting for reading would have been useful. We very much enjoyed our stay and the hotel would be our first choice for our next trip to this beautiful area of Durham and Yorkshire.

Staff were great, breakfast was excellent.

Great food and atmosphere at dinner. Everyone is so friendly. Well worth staying here for a few nights when visiting the area. We will be back

This is an excellent family run hotel. The owners' care and attention to detail is apparent throughout. Our room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and with all the necessary facilities. The bathroom was spacious - we would have preferred a separate shower rather than climbing in and out of the bath but that is a personal preference. Breakfast was very good with a great selection of fruit, cereals etc and delicious fresh cooked hot food.

Lovely little hotel/pub/restaurant. Spotlessly clean and warm! Food excellent. Couldn't fault it.

First class stay. A gem of a find. Will definitely stay again.

Room really nice. Nice and clean. Nice comfy bed. The breakfast was spot on nice choices available. Staff nice and friendly. Definitely go again. Bar nice and lively on Saturday night with a nice vibe. Restaurant food very nice.

Lovely stay, also had a meal in restaurant whoch was very good

Well appointed and spotlessly clean room, delicious food (dinner and breakfast), friendly and efficient service and a great bar too. What’s not to like?

Wonderful cheerful staff , impeccable cleanliness & comfort in our double room Left today after a lovely Full English breakfast 👍👍👍👍👍

Lovely hotel, very modern and looks great. Food in the restaurant was lovely, definitely recommend the breaded Brie for a starter!

Friendly, very clean. Would definitely stay here again

Lovely room spotlessly clean.

Nice hotel

An excellent place to stay. The room was comfortable and the food good. Free parking is a plus. Helpful staff. Good breakfast.

First class accommodation. Spotlessly clean with good facilities. Excellent breakfast. Highly recommended

A nice modern room but the drain in the sink smelt and there was someone’s underwear in one of the drawers in my room.

Very clean as always. Stayed here a number of times, always good food, friendly staff and clean

Lovely comfortable room and great food. Easy parking available immediately in front of the hotel. Would thoroughly recommend.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and clean. Our evening meal was excellent, however, with hindsight we would have asked for a table in the restaurant area rather than the bar which was extremely busy and noisy

Very friendly staff. Excellent service, one of the best full English breakfasts I have ever had. Great central position in Barnard Castle. Spotlessly clean. Overrall highly recommended. We stayed in the 1 bed apartment which was superb, just over the road from the pub.

Compact but clean and welcoming

Amazing location right in the centre of town, the staff were super helpful and accommodating with regards to information on the parade etc. Rooms are clean and modern, no issues whatsoever. Overall it was a great stay and I would 100% stay again on our next visit 😊
