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.

overnight stay

Stopped here for an overnight stay on route back from Scotland. Amazing helpful and friendly staff. Lucy and Matthew very efficient. Chef catered for my wife's allergies and used her own lactose free cheese in the evening meal. Evening meal was very good as was breakfast. 15 min walk into town where we found the chocolate fayre shop, which also did allergy optons. Our bed was a bit soft for us, but we slept well.

The pleasant, friendly staff were particularly memorable for their friendly, helpful 'can do' attitude. The room(s) we were given were more than adequate for our needs and included a bedroom and a sitting room together with two TV's and the usual shower room. It was quirky, old and perhaps in need of a little TLC, but laid back and lovely

Have stopped here overnight on more than one occasion to break a long journey home to Scotland. Comfy bed for the night with breakfast at a sensible price. Pub so good for a meal and a drink in the evening. The busy staff do a brilliant job and are very welcoming and helpful. We will happily use again.

As long as you are not looking for luxury this could be for you. A little tired around the edges, but seemed well run organised and efficient.

Only “B” not “B&B” for our stay

The Redwell Inn sits a short drive or a 15 minute walk away from the town centre and although the kitchen was closed for our visit the bedrooms were in use. The bedroom was adequete, nothing special and perhaps in need of a bit or TLC. Beds were very soft, not the best I’ve slept on however bed linen and towels were good. A good range of eateries are available a short walk away in the town of Barnard Castle.

Great food and staff

Lovely country pub feel. Room was spacious for a family of 4. Food was amazing on the evening and breakfast and couldn't fault how friendly the manager and staff were. Downside was we were above the kitchen and could here the music till late at night then chef came in at 6.45am and music went back on. Shower leaked and toilet was blocked

No idea why it’s rated so badly - great place

Honestly no idea why this hotel is rated so badly…I’m a solo female traveller and when I arrived had a lovely welcome and the room was really nice! Obvs it’s not 5* but for £30 a night…you get a tv, your own shower etc…worth it! Was a bit worried it’d be awful but really pleasantly surprised. Lady at counter was so nice too.

Room needs a tray on which to place suitcase. Otherwise, you have to use one of the beds to use your suitcase. The cold tap drips. Shower needs some sort of holder for soap, shampoo etc. Difficult to use otherwise because it is very small

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff were very welcoming but the quality of food was poor. I chose a chicken Caesar salad and was served pieces of chicken on shredded limp lettuce with salad cream.. breakfast was poor too. Weak instant coffee and “fluffy” cereal covered in sugar coating. A long burner was lit which filled the room with smoke. I needed to change my clothes as I smelt like a “bon fire” The scrambled eggs on toast when it came was good with nice fresh eggs
