Large & friendly old inn, Barnard Castle outskirts
Large & friendly old inn about 15 mins walk from centre of Barnard Castle. Pub serves food and has letting rooms plus adjoining caravan/campervan site. Some might find the rooms a little basic but my room was clean, light and airy, the bed comfortable. I had a small dressing room/study area between bedroom and bathroom which would have been great for catching up on work or writing memoirs/novel etc! I enjoyed my stay, slept well and deeply, and they did me a fantastic gluten free full English breakfast the next morning.

Booked this at it's advertised as having a restaurant. Turns out that's not the case on a Sunday evening though and the bar closed at 7pm.

I think we were unfortunate arriving when there was a problem with the heating. As a result the room had no hot water (we found no-one to ask about it until the following morning only to be told the boiler had clicked out but they had switched back on now). We were also unable to switch the TV on. The instruction books says there were two devices but we could only find one. Gain it was too late to find anyone to help

Nice place with very friendly staff. Only stayed the one night as a stopover. Room was comfortable and clean, maybe could do with a refresh but totally fine for a short stay. A little outside Barnard centre, about 20 minute easy walk Had an evening meal in the bar which was really nice and great value for money. The bar area itself was very nice with a relaxed atmosphere, great to unwind. The included breakfast was very good with a variety of choice. If yiur looking for a stopover with breakfast in a quiet area close to Barnard then you wont go wrong here.

Greeted with a warm and kind welcome.
Very easy to find and plenty of parking on site.
It was a perfect choice for the 1 night stay we had in breaking a long drive from the north of Scotland to south yorkshire.
Food and drink in the inn was very nice and the service by the staff likewise.
Breakfast was included in the cost of the stay and we knew it was going to be as good as its past reviews. All in all a great stay.

Grand for a one night stop over
A one night stop over, small room which we knew we had booked. A bit of a problem with the T V which was sorted, using the i Player. Couldn't fault the staff, a very pleasant stay and we would go back there again.

Old established pub on the outskirts of Barnard Castle, within a 15 min walk of it's shopping area. Decorated to a good standard, room was bigger than average, with all the usual facilities in working order. However the bed was very soft & its mattress in need of replacement. Food the usual pub menu & of a reasonable standard. A good cooked breakfast was within the room tariff, making it a good value stay.
