Good value stay in historic pub
Nice historic old pub near centre of town. The room was very spacious with a massive bathroom. However, I found the bed far too soft for me and uncomfortable. Breakfast was good. Overall reasonable value.

Barnard castle overnight stay brilliant
Marvellous .We stayed there numerous times now Its old fashioned but it has all the amenities Bedrooms and bathrooms are huge The breakfasts are lovely. They cant do enough for you.I have intolerances which they catered for. The only downside is the breakfast is 9am and earlier, 10am would be brilliant but i will still go again without a doubt x

Be careful what you book
Booked a family room from the images did not get either of the pictures room was a tiny shower which was not a relaxing experience. Spoke to the person that booked me in and they responded by saying that the hotel was fully booked so no alternative. Complained to the manager through hotel . Com and they responded by saying that the pictures are random and it was unfortunate that I got that room and if I was to visit again to ring them first to see if a different room was available! No thank you not a good experience and I don’t like to complain but when you expect something like a picture it’s disappointing when you get something far less than expected

We were in a spacious, well-appointed room and bathroom. Dog-friendly, for an extra charge per dog. Excellent real ale; I loved the Timothy Taylors Landlord. Excellent Indian food, and breakfast. Friendly landlord. Recommended and would stay again!
