    Pros +

    • Great stay once again and the staff work so hard. Great evening meal too. Nicely situated for The Witham where we attended an evening concert.
    • Rooms was very comfortable, breakfast was very good.
    • We were at a wedding most of the time and didn’t see much but what we saw was good. The breakfast was good

    Cons -

    • Room was very hot and the heating wouldnt go off.
    • It was difficult finding where the carpark was situated and access to the 3 horse shoes from the carpark. We then had to walk from the main building across roads to a separate accommodation building carrying bags etc. if it had been raining it would have been really bad. However we found street parking next to our accommodation. If we had known about this from the beginning it would have improved the situation a lot.
    • It was a bit noisy until about 11pm being in a pub and in the town but honestly that's to be expected.

    It was lovely and clean with a good size room and a comfortable bed. We were given the key early which was great and managed to park in the car park.The hotel is extremely central and looks like the nicest choice for a hotel stay in Barnard Castle. The breakfast was very nice with a good selection of cereal/fruit a yoghurt a very nice pot of coffee and a surprisingly good choice of hot breakfasts included in the room price. We chose a vegetarian breakfast and eggs Florentine which were both really good.

    It was a bit noisy until about 11pm being in a pub and in the town but honestly that's to be expected.

    Great accommodation in central location. Spacious rooms, spotlessly clean, friendly and helpful staff, great food and lovely atmosphere.

    Nothing - perfect stay.

    10JudithPosted on: 2-14-2026

    Spotlessly clean everywhere, comfortable room, excellent breakfast, one of the best we’ve had.

    The weather, but plenty of shops to browse.

    10SarahPosted on: 2-13-2026

    We stayed last year when we were in the area for a wedding, however didn't get that much time to spend at the hotel. However, we thought we'd return. We did, and stayed on 6 February for 1 night and we weren't disappointed.Dinner in the restaurant was fantastic. I'm a picky eater and had the chicken kebab, which was lovely. My husband had the baked cod. It isn't something I'd ever choose, but tried some. It was one of the best meals I've had. We ended up sharing!!!There's so much choice for breakfast, and the quality of food was excellent.The room was clean, tidy and had everything you would need.The staff also go out of their way to make your stay a good one - thank you

    Friendly welcoming staff, room was warm (January),bed very comfortable, all very clean. Our room was in separate building (coach house?) but close to main building and nice and quiet. Good food in restaurant. Live music on the Friday night a nice bonus.

    Nothing bad to say

    9PeterPosted on: 1-31-2026

    Good vibe in bar and restaurant both of which were busy on Monday evening. Fair prices and excellent menu choices included daily specials. Breakfast was excellent.Comfortable and warm bedroom just the ticket on cold winter get away trip.

    7DavidPosted on: 1-31-2026

    Breakfast, dinner good. Very nice fish and chips.

    No choice of pillows very hard. Bathroom very cold could not turn on radiator. New carpets on stairs and on room 7, could still smell the glue.

    10HarrisonPosted on: 1-25-2026

    Friendly staff. Lovely room. Excellent food

    10SarahPosted on: 1-18-2026

    Lovely, clean, spacious rooms. Lovely food and welcoming staff.

    Nothing!

    8JunePosted on: 1-18-2026

    The room had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We chose the location across the road from the main hotel so that we were not bothered by noise as we needed an early night. The breakfast was very tasty.

    9AlanPosted on: 1-13-2026

    Room was lovely, spacious, clean, but a bit dark.

    A lamp on the desk would have improved the lighting

    10GrahamPosted on: 1-12-2026

    Very nice studio accomodation just across the road from the main pub. It was well equipped and spotless

    10PeterPosted on: 1-8-2026

    Attentive staff , and the manager was very helpful. Also breakfast was excellent.
