Spent one night in this hotel in Barnard Castle. Bedroom in 'dungeon' maybe 'shabby sheik', although bed clean which is my main concern. Miserable older barman couldn't raise a smile but staff later on were very pleasant. Ordered poached eggs for breakfast, looked like they had been cooked in dirty water with soggy toast. Wouldn't stay here again but would... More

I went for a pub lunch with a friend and found the staff to be lovely and welcoming but the food was really disappointing, the portion size for the price was very small, my little girls child meal was very nearly the same size!! The Scampi was nearly burnt and tiny, obviously cheap frozen Scampi, the peas were dried up... More

This has to be the best Inn in Barnard Castle, from entering the premises we were made very welcome, the staff were wonderful, we got a warm welcome, and the attention continued until our leaving. We met the proprietor Peter, and his sister Lyn, who ensured our stay was comfortable. The room was furnished with beautiful furniture, and comfortable beds... More

Really helpful and welcoming staff without exception. Beautiful historic building complimented by thoughtfully designed decor in the rooms. All combined to make our stay memorable we will definitely return and would recommend to anyone staying overnight in Barnard Castle

We booked a 4 night stay at the Old Well to attend a friend's wedding and ended up extending for two extra days. Ideally located in the quaint town of Barnard Castle, this old pub prides itself on good food and a wide selection of real ale. It certainly seems to be the pub of choice in town and the... More

Average facility with dated everything. Although, the large sink in the room was pretty cool. The en-suite was in the tiny closet and that was sort of a cheat, methinks. The breakfast was ok. My wife ordered the sausage sandwich...it was a hamburger bun with two links of mediocre sausage. We were not disturbed by the church bells or traffic... More

12 of us stayed at the inn whilst doing the W2W. Rooms were very large, clean and very warm (wouldn't like the heating bill). Evening meal was excellent and the group were well looked after. We couldn't eat all of the food. Beer (landlord) excellent. Breakfast was ample. Would have scored this very good but could hear noise from other... More

We went for a meal at the Old Well, no experience of the rooms :) The Old Well advertises as serving food until 9pm, but we turned up on a Friday night at 8.50pm and we were still able to order food, and pudding, with no rush whatsoever, despite it being well after 9pm when we reached pudding time!
