The 17th-century Old Well Inn is in the town of Barnard Castle, with a traditional cosy bar and spacious en suite rooms that each have a TV and tea/coffee making facilities.
The Castle Wall forms part of the boundary of The Old Well Inn, and the property is located close to the popular antique quarter, in the centre of this historic market town.
The Old Well is an award-winning pub with a wide range of cask ales. The food menu is based around a selection of traditional British recipes. There is a conservatory, comfortable lounge and private beer garden.
The hills of Teesdale are on the property's doorstep, and fishing is possible on the River Tees. Raby Castle and High Force waterfall are within a 30 minute drive.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
“Location was perfect for us as it was close to the shops and castle. The room we were in was huge and so was the bed which was reasonably comfortable. The lady serving breakfast was very nice as well as the lady who greeted us when we arrived.”

“Quirky (in a good way) historic building. I stay here once a year for a golf trip, and will do so again. Centrally located, street parking quite close. Clean and comfortable, albeit that some areas (e.g. bathroom) could do with updating. Fair...”

“Delightfully quirky and genuinely old fashioned inn. Sone aspects are a bit shabby but that just adds to the charm. Well kept real ales - 5 when we stayed - and really good curries and english breakfasts. Will stay again.”
