About The Old Well Inn
The Old Well Inn occupies an old building on The Bank in Barnard Castle, its character kept intact while the ten rooms inside have been brought up to modern comfort, each with an en-suite bathroom. Family rooms are available, and guests can expect a proper welcome at any hour thanks to 24-hour reception.
Food is taken care of with a restaurant serving breakfast and other meals, kids meals for younger guests, and packed lunches for those heading out for the day. There's a bar on site, drinks can be brought to the room, and the garden and outdoor seating area offer a spot to sit outside. Meeting rooms are also available for those combining business with their stay, and pets are welcome to join the trip.
Free on-site parking makes arriving straightforward, and the inn's position in Barnard Castle puts golf, fishing, watersports and entertainment within easy reach, along with nearby pubs and restaurants. The Bowes Museum is also close by for anyone wanting a day of culture between meals.
