    time-consuming order

    Beautiful and historical stay

    We enjoyed a lovely night at this historic inn with charming decor and a spacious room equipped with a comfy four-poster bed, along with attentive staff who provided a warm welcome. The breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious, setting us up nicely for the day. One thing to improve would be the payment process, as using the app for orders can be cumbersome and takes time.

    generous portions
    live music
    worn surroundings

    I loved the amazing Indian thali, which had generous portions and was bursting with flavor. The melt-in-your-mouth paratha. The vibe was great with live music, and the kids had a blast in the play area. The only hitch was that the place felt a bit worn around the edges, but it didn't take away from the overall experience—definitely try the food! 😋

    charming decor
    comfortable beds
    great parking
    bathroom upkeep
    limited dining hours
    stair navigation

    I had a pleasant stay in Room 9 at The Old Well Inn with my dog. The room was spacious and offered a lovely sitting area, exposed brick walls, and stone floors. The cleanliness was commendable, and the bathroom was large and tidy. The staff were friendly and genuinely helpful throughout my visit. Parking right outside was super convenient. Breakfast featured a great range, including hot options that were well-prepared and satisfying. I enjoyed the variety of dining areas, and the location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions like the Bowes Museum. the bathroom could have used a bit more upkeep, as some areas showed signs of wear. a key limitation was navigating the steep stairs. it wasn't ideal despite being labeled as ground floor access. The dining hours were somewhat lacking, as the kitchen closed early on a quiet night.

    clean sheets
    good location

    Just perfect for a weekend trip in Barnard Castle at a good value for the price. The sheets and towels were very clean, which was appreciated. Make sure to arrive on time for breakfast to avoid missing out due to limited seating.
