A short notice night away to meet family at Bowes Museum.
What a lovely old quirky hotel. Wonky floors and lots of character.
Evening meal was superb, and great value for money, and an interesting mix of English and Indian food.
The room was fine, we were in room 7, and it was huge, as well being very interesting, with original features. The only grumble is that the bathroom mirror was far too high for a five foot two person.
Breakfast was fine, nicely served, and perfectly sufficient portions, with no waste.
The cook/server was lovely and very friendly.
All in all a very good stay, and we will be back.
The photo at the top of this page, is NOT the hotel, it is nearby Bowes Museum, and it's very misleading - Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank CIC10/26/2024The food was amazing and the service friendly and welcoming.
The menu wasn’t what I was expecting, but there is something for everyone and it was a refreshing change from the ‘traditional menus’ that tend to be the same wherever you go.
I will definitely be returning as this was one of the best meals I’ve ever had, plus they warmly welcomed our dogs too.
Thank you everyone who made our visit so very memorable 💙🌈 - Tim Bonnett7/20/2024
Great pub - surprising in many ways Excellent pub with lovely feel excellent beers and range of good value freshly cooked food. It is clear the couple who own are trying to be as good as they can be. Friendly welcome good service and good attention to detail. It doesn’t look much from the outside but is well worth overcoming qualms to visit. - Gee E6/02/2024
Great pub. Excellent food accompanied with nice beer. The building has loads of character and the staff are so friendly and helpful. We took advantage of their all you can eat mid day buffet. For £8 per person what's not to like. We discovered the Old Well on our 3rd day of a five day visit. Wish we had found it on day 1.Mithu Sikder5/31/2024Dear The Old Well Inn

Very nice lunch We stopped here for lunch, and the food was really good! The Malaysian curry wrap was exceptional! The menu was very interesting and the desserts were very nice too. My biscoff cheesecake was very nice.
My only negative is the sauces like tomato ketchup were in individual plastic sachets. I'd recommend serving in ramekins ask more environmentally friendly 👍😁
I would highly recommend 👌Barney15/01/2024
Great find and worth a visit Great location all staff welcoming and friendly
Room clean and comfortable maybe some minor restorative work required but not essential.
Food of an evening was plentiful and excellent.
For us a great find and we would gladly return . I would strongly recommend to anybody for a visit to Barnard Castle
