Hotels in Barnard Castle

Voordelen:: lovely food and traditional service

Nadelen:: a couple of repairs needed and drawn to attentkon

Voordelen:: Venison meal was superb.

Nadelen:: In the morning I could hear a whole conversation in my room, word for word. Unless someone was on flat roof outside my window the walls are too thin.

Voordelen:: Food quality and standard of presentation was very very good

Nadelen:: Nothing

Voordelen:: The gardens were beautiful and you could hardly hear the road. Beds were comfy and great breakfast! Country house hotel and looked every inch of it.

Nadelen:: Too far from Barnard Castle centre. Couldn't really walk to it so captive audience.

Voordelen:: Héérlijke sfeer,goed eten vriendelijk personeel

Nadelen:: Badkamer klein en gedateerd

Nadelen:: Op booking.com een kamer gereserveerd, eens in het hotel was dit niet mogelijk wegens het aanwezig zijn van een huisdier. Nochtans staat er vermeld huisdieren welkom + bij booking.com kan je dit niet eens apart aangeven, dus van de veronderstelling dat dit niet noodzakelijk was. De kamer die wij kregen toegewezen véél duurder en nochtans een muffe geur in de kamer en een vast tapijt dat in jaren niet werd gereinigd! Ze stellen zich 'vriendelijk en gastvrij op tov van huisdieren, doch dit is het totaal niet!!

Voordelen:: Aangename sfeer goed ontbijt en heel schoon.

Nadelen:: De ventilator bleef heel lang aan en ging s'ochtends ook weer vroeg aan.

Voordelen:: Locatie, vriendelijk personeel, goede schone kamer

Nadelen:: Restaurant prijzig, kijk uit 2 gangen menu GBP 28.- 3 gangen menu GBP 35.- echter bijvoorbeeld pepersaus bij de steak kost GBP 2.- extra dit staat nergens vermeld, en zo zijn er nog een paar, vraag vooruit naar de prijs

Voordelen:: Restaurant and reception staff very helpful and friendly. We had one evening meal, which was very good, and the wine was good value.

Nadelen:: Although the room was very comfortable, the lighting was a bit low for reading - a brighter table lamp was have been helpful, though this is a very minor quibble.

Voordelen:: Comfy bed, lovely dinner and breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

Voordelen:: Good rooms - great features-comfortable bed- nice bathroom. Good food

Nadelen:: Nothing - shame about one of the locals who insisted on having lengthy conversations under hour windows at 0130hrs!

Voordelen:: Central location for village facilities. Central location for activities/facilities in the wider area. Large comfortable residents lounge. Lovely breakfast. (Team was coming in as I checked out for refurbishments) Good value for the money.

Nadelen:: It was better than I expected.

Voordelen:: In een prachtig gebied met zeer vriendelijke bediening en een heerlijke keuken.

Nadelen:: Geen opmerkingen

Voordelen:: locatie onvangst en bejegening door personeel

Nadelen:: kamer en douche

Voordelen:: Clean simple room and very good value for money.

Voordelen:: Good cooked breakfast, all locally sourced products. Selection of cereals, and fruit juices. Friendly waitress.

Voordelen:: Staff very helpful and allowed me to have breakfast early as needed to leave for work.

Nadelen:: Not much.

Voordelen:: The food was very good the staff were lovely great value fir money and a fab location

Voordelen:: The location.

Nadelen:: Menu rather limited.

Voordelen:: Good location , Reasonable breakfast. Good parking but access is very very tight. Staff friendly Bed comfortable

Nadelen:: Generally very dated with only minor modern "grungy" colour update painting in the rooms. Our window was very wet after the recent really bad weather which had soaked the carpet under the window although staff did apologise for this before hand. Quite dear for the quality

Nadelen:: Had lovely stay lovely rooms comfy beds good location lovely food

Voordelen:: Everything was great. Restaurant is delicious.

Nadelen:: The shower curtain needed to be washed.

Voordelen:: Really comfortable bed. Staff / proprietor friendly and helpful, especially when we asked to change rooms.

Nadelen:: Room was cold on arrival, you could feel the draught coming through the windows which didn't quite close fully (a recurring issue we've found with other old properties) and the radiator didn't come on for ages. Fortunately there was an electric heater in the room, but because there was no door between the room and the upstairs bathroom, all the heat rose up to the bathroom. It did get warm however when the radiator eventually came on.

Voordelen:: Meal in the restaurant was very good, very tasty, didn't require breakfast as the meal the night before was very filling.

Nadelen:: nothing comes to mind

Voordelen:: Despite Covid 19 restrictions staff and rooms were excellent Pity the bar and restaurant are closed

Voordelen:: Late booking. From moment we entered to the moment we left we were treat like friends. Room was fab, food was amazing and booked to go back! Def recommended

Nadelen:: Nothing. Was all good.

Voordelen:: Room was nice and clean.

Nadelen:: I have stayed in teesdale many times but the Forresters Hotel was the first time. The hotel is nice and the staff was pleasant. We booked a room for two nights BIG MISTAKE!! We had no sleep at all with all the noise. We would have gone to Blackpool if we want to party. Would I stay again at the Forresters Hotel Not a chance.

Nadelen:: Er is geen mogelijkheid tot een vroeg ontbijt. De eerste mogelijkheid ging om 9.00 open.

Voordelen:: The hotel has a great location and is very well priced for the area it sits in, the restaurant although slightly high in price is exceptional and the food is amazing a good bar with nice ambience and plenty to do in the area

Nadelen:: Parking is an issue due to the town's structure other than that nothing else was an issue

Voordelen:: Het avondeten was prima in het restaurant. De Franse eigenaar is erg vriendelijk en tegemoetkomend. De decoratie met een Frans thema door het hotel en restaurant is erg leuk. Een leuk dorpje met verschillende eetgelegenheden.

Nadelen:: Dit was ons tweede bezoek en we hadden niet verwacht dat er geen ontbijt geserveerd werd, omdat we dat eerder wel hadden gehad. Wel zijn er een aantal tearooms in het dorp waar je terecht kan voor ontbijt. De kamer was vrij klein, maar de badkamer (via een trap te bereiken) was ruim. Het hotel is wel aan een opknapbeurt toe en kon wel wat schoner. De kamer lag aan de voorkant en in de ochtend is er wel veel en druk verkeer.

Nadelen:: geen ontbijt, was niet duidelijk bij de boeking

Voordelen:: Geweldig goed en betaalbaar Frans restaurant, het eten is echt een aanrader en wordt de de Franse eigenaresse gemaakt. M.n de Boeuff Bourguignonne is om je vingers bij af te likken. Bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.

Nadelen:: Schoonmaak kan echt beter, vergeten bed op te maken en afval mee te nemen....

Voordelen:: we waren op doorreis op een tripje door UK. Prima hotel om te overnachten, oud gebouw maar gemoderniseerde kamers, diner en ontbijt prima, goede isolatie qua geluid, wifi prima, gratis parkeren nabij hotel

Nadelen:: ik had een upgrade genomen naar een deluxe kamer met kingsize bed. Prima kamer, maar gezien de andere kamers in het hotel vraag ik me af waarvoor ik extra betaalde, Verder jammer dat op de dag van mijn verblijf het hotel zelf al de kosten incasseerde via mijn creditcard, dat had ik ook bij ontvangst/vertrek zelf kunnen voldoen

Voordelen:: Het ontbijt was in orde. Propere kamer, ruime badkamer.

Nadelen:: Er zaten heel veel vliegen. Bed kon beter.

Voordelen:: Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable, good food and drink.

Nadelen:: The car park is not on the same site as the hotel.

Voordelen:: Locatie en personeel. Prima ontbijt

Nadelen:: Bed was laag en niet comfortabel

Voordelen:: The room was large and airy and very clean. We had everything we needed. We also had a meal in the lounge with a group of friends and none of us could fault it.

Nadelen:: Breakfast on the first morning was a bit disorganised as we were with a group of short mat bowlers attending an annual tournament. There was only one waitress who obviously didn't expect more than 16 people needing service at the same time. Perhaps if we had been asked, when we arrived the previous day, what time we would be having breakfast it could have been better catered for.

Voordelen:: Breakfast good quality and freshly cooked. Room in the 'outbuilding' was very spacious and well equipped. Bigger than we needed for just 2 of us but nice to have the extra space.

Nadelen:: Nothing really!

Voordelen:: Very modern and clean. Staff very polite and helpful

Voordelen:: Convenient location in the centre of Barnard Castle. We parked outside the hotel but that is pot luck - we didn't try the hotel's dedicated parking. Great choice of draft beers and gins in the bar; and the restaurant was great. We had intended to take advantage of the Monday night steak night special offer but actually were pleased with other choices on the menu.

Nadelen:: Lack of accessible plugs in the room made it difficult to charge phones and use hair dryer. Being picky, I know, the floor in the bathroom was cracked and the room had been re-arranged without re-decorating. The benefit of being centrally located does mean you get traffic noise in the rooms facing the street: ours was room 2.

Voordelen:: It was clean and the rooms were spacious and everything you needed was there for you.

Nadelen:: Some of the rooms are away from the hotel so if weather is bad it’s not nice to walk over for breakfast but you can request to have a room within the hotel

Voordelen:: Would never go back

Nadelen:: There was nothing to like,just a disaster

Voordelen:: Nothing

Nadelen:: Everything , room was dingy poor bathroom bedding smelt nothing matched , please don't put people there To get in and out after pub closed you you had to go through a dingy back yard to an unlit lane which would be dangerous for a lady on her own

Voordelen:: Good size room, great staff

Nadelen:: Very noisy from outside. Some rooms are not en-suite

Voordelen:: Comforatble, clean, warm

Nadelen:: Incredibly noisy music downstairs until late made sleep impossible.

Voordelen:: Comfy bed

Nadelen:: Room very tired and needed upgraded

Voordelen:: Nothing much

Voordelen:: There wasnt any breakfast as a had asked and no one around wen we left

Voordelen:: Staff was friendly and helpful, the place was clean and the location scenic. Kitchen was well equipped. Well marked, easy to find.

Nadelen:: It would have been great if a bath towel were included in the price of a room.

Voordelen:: Beautiful setting. Friendly staff. immaculately clean. Very basic as you would expect as it is a hostel. Far exceeded my expectation.

Voordelen:: The very friendly helpfulness of Diane the manager made us feel really welcome. Everything was just as we wanted. The local walks were terrific. We wanted to explore some wild north Pennine countryside and Langdon Beck is ideally situated for that. Diane directed us for a walk on our second day and we valued her local knowledge. The hostel's drying room did its job perfectly and the walk down to the pub for a meal in the evening was simple and short.

Nadelen:: Nothing - it was all good.

Voordelen:: Very close to Pennine Way

Voordelen:: The evening meal and breakfast were excellent. Well cooked fresh food in cosy well appointed dining room Spacious bedroom in converted stable block had large attached bathroom that included a large BATH!!! Much appreciated. Quiet location in small historic village on the Pennine Way with Bowes Castle and church a short walk away. Barnard Castle with its many historic attractions only 3 miles distant, but with more difficult parking overnight.

Nadelen:: Nothing to not like, really. Would have preferred cask ale but the beer on tap was a good choice and well looked after. We had difficulty getting wifi to work but were not interested enough to find out if it was us, or the system.

Voordelen:: Goed ontbijt. Lekker eten s'avonds. De kamer was heel ruim evenals de badkamer.

Nadelen:: de vriendelijkheid.

Voordelen:: Food was lovely Only seen one member of stall during my stay She was very helpful Would stay again

Nadelen:: Room was in a converted stable. Room was a tad cold during the night. Realised in the morning there was an additional heater in the wardrobe.

Voordelen:: A fantastic room in a converted stable block - lots of space and a large bathroom. Quiet and only a step away from the main pub. Staff were friendly and welcoming and breakfast - for which a menu was provided beforehand - was delicious and freshly cooked to order.

Nadelen:: The room was chilly in the evening (it was a particularly cold and windy night) but there was a radiator in the wardrobe, so I was toasty in a short while.

Voordelen:: Room was really nice definitely worth paying alittle bit more for private bathroom. Breakfast was delicious really well throughout

Voordelen:: Dinner and breakfast fine. We had 2 adjacent rooms which was perfect . Staff friendly and accommodating . Parking easy and convenient for rooms.

Nadelen:: Double bed a bit small. Would have preferred Kings size etc. Maintenance a bit poor, light bulbs not working, no shower jel etc . Room only just warm enough.

Voordelen:: Bowes is een alleraardigst plekje met een kleine kasteel-ruine vlak bij het hotel. In het hotel kregen we room 1, dat is op de tweede verdieping in het hoofdgebouw. Mooie ruime kamer, schoon, goed bed. Niets is er recht en alles loopt scheef, maar dat hoort bij dit hotel. We hebben in het restaurant van het hotel gegeten, prijs/kwaliteit gemiddeld. Ontbijt zoals je mag verwachten, met slappe koffie maar met lekkere (zelfgemaakte?) marmelade.

Nadelen:: We hebben ons nog even zorgen gemaakt over de brandveiligheid op de tweede verdieping zonder vluchtweg - maar we hebben besloten ons daar nu maar niet druk over te maken.

Voordelen:: It's always been nice we have been a few times now. Our perfect little getaway and blow off the cobwebs place. Always a nice drive then walk to high force while we're there.

Voordelen:: Very clean indeed and well furnished. Friendly owners who were extremely helpful in every way. Single room was a rather small so I opted for a larger double one which was perfect for me. Good WiFi and TV. Breakfast and supper were excellent. The situation is central and there is plenty of parking on the wide road.

Nadelen:: No faults at all.

Voordelen:: Slept really well. Fantastic breakfast!

Voordelen:: A warm welcome from Glenda. The room was spotlessly clean, the tea and coffee came with a complimentary slice of cake, and the bed was really comfortable. I can't fault Homelands. Breakfast was really good too.

Voordelen:: Friendly welcome, spectacularly good breakfast !

Voordelen:: Flexibility. Because we broke down on the motorway and was late.

Voordelen:: The people who run this B & B are exceptional, they are very friendly and helpful without being overbearing and in your face. The lounge is a right chill out place, big comfy arm chairs etc. The tele in the room is an up to date one in the right place positioned on the wall. The bed was so comfy ! ! I intended to lift the covers to find out the make before I left, then I went and forgot so I might be phoning them to ask. The location could not be better as it is on the main street in Barnard Castle so you can walk to the beautiful Bowes Museum in 15 mins flat, plus there is plenty of free parking spaces. Last but no means least is the " to die for breakfast" this man knows how to poach eggs to perfection and the bacon is not sliced paper thin. What more can I say

Nadelen:: If I were to be really picky I would have to say the taps in the bathroom needed tightening onto the sink or needed new washers as the flow of water was fast with lots of spray sometimes or just trickling out others but it was always hot.

Voordelen:: Glenda and Daniele are perfect hosts, Homelands is spotlessly clean and the breakfasts are amazing!!

Voordelen:: Lovely large room and bathroom, breakfast excellent, excellent position for exploring the town

Voordelen:: Location, staff, food and ambience

Nadelen:: Bed wasn't very comfortable and shower wasn't the best

Voordelen:: The bed was comfortable and the room was clean - we slept very well! Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Nicely situated in the town.

Nadelen:: The bathroom was a little basic and in need of an upgrade but it was fine for the one night. It was a shame the courtyard was full of junk furniture, it could be a nice seating area in the summer.

Voordelen:: Great location, lovely welcome and staff, great pub. Excellent all round

Nadelen:: The bathroom could be updated - but overall really good

Voordelen:: Lovely large room with a comfy bed. Breakfast was nice and the staff were very accommodating. Location was good too.

Nadelen:: Bathroom was a little tired and could do with an update but to be honest it wasn't a big deal, it was clean.

Voordelen:: Room was amazing very comfortable an lovely decor, food was lovely and I had the best nights sleep I've had in ages.

Nadelen:: There wasn't anything that I didn't like.

Voordelen:: The food was excellent and very much appreciated.

Nadelen:: It was dusty and the bed was terrible.The frame was a double bed But the mattress was for a three quarter bed. I would not recommend it.

Voordelen:: A beautiful historic Inn with loads of character. The owners Roy and Rima were extremely friendly and helpful, could not ask for more, they looked after me perfectly. My room was lovely with lots of character, the bed was very comfortable and the room was large with lots of storage. Extremely dog friendly, my dogs were allowed anywhere in the Inn.

Nadelen:: Nothing, the Inn was beautiful.

Voordelen:: Vriendelijk personeel, ontbijt was prima

Nadelen:: Hotel is erg verouderd. Algehele opknapbeurt is nodig.

Voordelen:: Het ontbijt was heerlijk en ruim voldoende voor n fietser

Nadelen:: Wij kwamen vrij laat aan. De keuze voor het eten was beperkt (niet alles wat op de kaart staat was op dat moment nog aanwezig).

Nadelen:: I asked a quiet room ,but my room was noisy

Voordelen:: Leuke kamer met openslaande deuren naar tuintje, heel geschikt voor de hond.

Voordelen:: Breakfast was great. Plenty of choice of cereals, yogurt with fruit salad, fruit juices, tea or coffee, then full English breakfast to follow.

Voordelen:: Very friendly hospitable hosts, comfy, homely room, delicious breakfast and a great location.

Nadelen:: Nothing.

Voordelen:: I stayed at Baliol House B&B for one night; on arrival Christine asked me if I would like tea or coffee and greeted me also with home made biscuits, yummy; I stayed in the family room which was nice and big. Many things I liked: nice and tasteful pictures on the walls, bed was very comfy, the bed linen had an old Victorian design and nice colour; the towels were not so soft which I like; tea and coffee facilities, homemade biscuits and even a small bowl with grapes! So lovely! There was a shelf with books, as well as complimentary shampoo and soap, not to forget a good functional Wi-Fi. You order your breakfast for the time you want it the day before; I had a delicious fresh fruit salad with Greek yoghurt and orange juice. You have a choice of cereal and whatever you wanted cooked. I chose tomatoes with mushrooms and a hash brown; white or brown toast with jam or marmalade; then tea or coffee as you wish. All was done very nicely and with a personal touch of the hosts Christine and James. Thanks a lot to you both! I surely will come back.

Voordelen:: Home away from home . The hosts looked after me well . I was at this property for one night work and play . I arrived at 4.30 to a cup of tea and homemade biscuits

Nadelen:: Nothing.

Voordelen:: Very friendly and helpful. Very comfortable and relaxing stay.
