Good location for town centre, and friendly reception but small, cramped room with dated and tired decor, the ensuite was well past its best before date and the single bed was very uncomfortable. I would not stay again unless desperate. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Baris Apr 1, 2021 #### ood sleep It was good as i was quite tired ##### Baris Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rob Oct 14, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Rob Stayed 1 night in Oct 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nick Nov 19, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Cheap and cheerful only downside was my room was above the local taxi rank and with sash windows was a bit rowdy at 2 am kick out time. Staff are friendly and location is good for local nightlife if that’s your thing. ##### Nick Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Oct 23, 2019 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Didn't even stay the night took one look and went to another hotel ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Sep 11, 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 17, 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 20, 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andrew Mar 9, 2019 Disliked: Room comfort It would have been nice to be warned that the taxi rank is outside and at 2.30am I would be woken up by screaming and shouting that lasted for about 40 minutes! Don't stop here unless you're going to go clubbing!! ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul Jan 10, 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Barebones Room was clean but cold, very dated with a tiny TV , the sink's drain bubbled presumably when the other rooms used their sink ,it's next to a taxi rank so there were people outside shouting and laughing until 3am during the week. shared bathroom's show was antique.there was no wifi in the rooms i would say in suitable for business stops ... probably alright for someone to sleep after beeing out on the town but the staff seemed friendly enough ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sue Oct 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort I was given a room no bigger than a cupboard, it was grim, looked like a 1970’s time warp. Shower was horrible with plastic shower curtain, limescale caked on the shower tray and grotty towels that looked liked they must have been at least 20 years old. Room lock was dodgy, very dangerous if there was a fire whilst you were in the room. There is a takeaway opposite and the smells seep into the room. On the plus side the staff can’t do enough for you. ##### Sue Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Vincent Aug 16, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Overnight stopover The outside of the hotel is going through a upgrade,I hope they then start on the rooms,the room I had although clean was very dated and in need of a revamp,other than that I would stay again. ##### Vincent Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen Aug 15, 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### Value for money stay Clean and tidy, simple hotel. Good friendly staff, room a little dated but ok. Very good breakfast. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul Jul 27, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark, North Wales Jul 27, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value for money I had a 3 night stay and found that this was excellent value for the money paid - The host Alex was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. The location is very convenient for the centre of the town. ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott, Kent Jul 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good place to stay right in the centre Owners are great people, very friendly and helpful. Needed a place to stay overnight whilst on business trip and hotel couldn't have been more convenient being right in the centre. Room was absolutely fine for my needs and spotless. Had a great nights sleep (best I've slept in a year). Recommended! ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie, Ipswich Mar 8, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place to stay This was the first time to pontefract, it was for a friend's funeral quite a few of us stayed the hotelier Alex was very accomadating and friendly would highly recommend it close to everything too ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gary Oct 5, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Needs a total refit very run down rooms. needs a lot of attention and ££ ##### Gary Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela Jul 11, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value for money The staff were lovely, they need to sort out front door keys for late night entry. I am sure they will get around to modernising the upstairs as well as they have done downstairs. Great shower. Bar needs real ale ##### Angela Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Richard, Cumbria Jun 26, 2017 Liked: Room comfort #### Ask about the disco before booking The Barley Mow was OK - nothing outstanding but then it was cheap. Welcome was OK, Breakfast was good, kettle worked but there was a shortage of things to make with it (and few extra available when asked), TV worked on some channels, Bathroom was tiny and you could not use the toilet without banging your legs against the wall. I didn't get any of the rooms pictured on the website (perhaps they are modernising in stages). Biggest problem tho' was the disco which is run on Friday and Saturday nights from 10pm to 2am which isn't noted on the website. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-London-Gatwick-Hotel.h6579.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Novotel-Milton-Keynes.h892420.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Country Cottage private Indoor Swimming Pool ,Hot Tub, & Games room.](https://www.expedia.ca/Swindon-Hotels-Beautiful-Country-Cottage-Private-Indoor-Swimming-Pool.h34047025.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Peterborough.h2928593.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels-Lumley-Castle-Hotel.h175571.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information)
