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.

Cheap & cheerful
Booked for a cheaper option when attending a wedding at Runa Farm. They quickly turned our room around so we could check in early and get ready. Staff were incredibly polite and friendly. Breakfast was included with our booking which was great with wonderful service! Room had tea/coffee and a much needed fan.

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.

Only Bed No Breakfast
The kitchen, restaurant and bar were not open for the date of our visit so no review of food or the public areas can be given. The accommodation however was made available. This of course meant that breakfast could not be reviewed as it was also not available. The closure was temporary but did impact our visit somewhat. My review feeling is that we should have been informed in advance as the closure was planned. The bedroom was ok, nothing special and in need of a bit or TLC. Beds were OK, not the best I’ve slept on however bed linen and towels were good. For the evening meal we walked into town and had a great meal and we arranged breakfast there for ourselves. We would normally have eaten at the place we were staying in but other good eateries are available in Barnard Castle

Arrived to find notes on both doors saying the establishment was closed due to refurbishment was not a good start. Telephoned the establishment to be told they were honouring overnight guests, thankfully. Side door was duly unlocked and we were led to reception where we were told the floor in the kitchen was being replaced so there would be no breakfast which was included in our room rate. Gareth, the member of staff dealing with check in, was going through this routine with other people checking in after us. Hotels.com responded well to this inconvenience and we thank Hotels.com for their response. The bedroom was ok, nothing special and in need of a bit or TLC. Beds were OK, not the best I’ve slept on however bed linen and towels were good. For the evening meal we walked into town as the Inn was not cooking and had a great meal and we arranged breakfast there ourselves.

Arrived to find notes on both doors saying they were closed due to refurbishment, not a good start. Telephoned the establishment to be told they were honouring overnight guests. Side door was duly unlocked and we were led to reception where we were told the floor in the kitchen was being replaced so there would be no breakfast which was included in our room rate. I asked why we had not been told and the response was that it was an emergency. So what should we do for breakfast I said and was told a 15 minute walk into town would leave us with some alternative options. Gareth, the only guy dealing with check in, was going through this routine with other people checking in after us. Hotels.com have said they will get to the bottom of this, but not even to be offered a partial refund by The Red Well Inn was surprising. The room was ok, nothing special and in need of a bit or TLC. Beds were not the best I’ve slept on but not terrible. For the evening meal we walked into town and had a great meal at the Three Horseshoes. The staff at the Three Horseshoes informed us that every year during The Applebey Horse Fair the Red Well Inn closes, this would be useful information for booking sites. I will be avoiding not only the Red Well Inn but also other Buckley Taverns, this experience was thoroughly unacceptable.

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

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
