Quality
Very friendly welcome, very comfortable bed and great shower. The food was top quality. The only downside was the draught form the window, it was very cold and must be losing lots of energy, the window wouldn’t seal at the top (Room 4) This doesn’t detract from how good my stay was. 9/10, would recommend to others.

Very nice staff menu needs imagination
Very nice staff , all very friendly and helpful Lovely location Room not so comfortable as bed up against a wall and no bedside table Although breakfast nicely cooked No choice of bread Pancakes dry no crème fresh small amount of fruit There is a message upstairs telling you not to go downstairs which is understandable for bar security but in effect you are stuck upstairs once they lock up (9.45 one night just as we got back ) don’t leave anything you may need in the car or try go out out of hours! Menu limited only really chips or sautéed potatoes Lovely log burner if you can get the two seats by it Carpets need a good clean Lovely atmosphere generally

Hidden gem only 30 mins from buzzing Manchester. Food was excellent and of great quality. Set in a rural area of outstanding beauty. Cosy and full of atmosphere. Great getaway for a quiet weekend away!!! Highly recommended!

Barley Mow is the place to visit/stay in Barley
Set in the gorgeous hamlet of Barley. The Barley Mow is a tastefully furnished pub with rooms. From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed. Our room was beautifully clean with a comfy bed. Complimentary toiletries and biscuits were a nice touch. The menu was very well thought out catering for all food types. The food was outstanding, the best pub grub we have had by far! All the staff are an absolute credit to the place and they create such a wonderful vibe! A special thank you to Toby, Lauren, Ella and Will for going above and beyond during our stay.

Exceptional cleanliness, fabulous little stay. Stayed for both breakfast and evening meal and both meals were superb. Friendly atmosphere, friendly locals, beautiful walks, beautiful little village and pub what more could you ask for a weekend away.

The place was amazing. Both breakfast and dinner were lovely. Only thing is, the walls are thin that you can hear basically anyone moving around, and at 11pm when you’re trying to sleep, not always ideal. The shower was lovely, water pressure is great. Also there’s a very faint beeping that goes on outside that was driving me insane a little bit but overall very happy with our stay.

Lovely Inn with Great Food
Small room but comfortably furnished. Food was excellent, both at breakfast and dinner. Great location for walks around the reservoirs/Pendle Hill. Only downside was the lack of sufficient parking.

Half board was just a good credit
Booked half board. Felt like a cheat, it only meant a £30 credit on food. But this was not published anywhere. Staff and service fabulous. Nice place, just the lack of clarity was a niggle.

February getaway
Really clean, welcoming, and good service. Only criticism was the menu which was a little restrictive - not a lot of healthy options. The food that was offered was very good.

The room was excellent and the food very good. I have stayed here before. However, the was a serious incident with a drunken and violent man roaming the corridor, shouting, threatening and trashing a room. This went on for 5 hours! It turned out that there were no staff at the inn. Completely unacceptable.

Positives: clean, friendly staff, nice decor, on-site parking, cosy building. The room was a good size. Negatives: the shower glass screen did not have a rubber strip which made the water spill onto the bathroom floor and the bathroom fan does not extract the moisture from the air. We were in room 3 backing onto the river behind the building this looks Pleasant when looking out the window go but the noise made it difficult to sleep. The window even when shut at, allowed a constant flow of air in the room which made it very cold once the heating has stopped. In addition the bed was not very comfortable and the pillow was too big for me. The location was very remote and the roads to and from it where difficult to navigate. We were told to enter and exit out of hours via an open fire escape, which i am sure is not legal or safe. Breakfast was a challenge. I asked for brown bread and a coffee and got white bread and a tea. This was corrected but gives an indication of the slackness. Overall, not a bad stay but we wouldnt stay here again, even though the staff were friendly and nice.

Wife and I stayed here for a few nights (after a few nights in London) before the Burnley v New Castle match. Lovely property surrounded by beautiful hills and quaint village. Very relaxing and quiet. Easy walking distance to hiking trails. The staff was simply wonderful - laid back, very friendly and attentive to every need. The bar and restaurant downstairs were great. Awesome to warm up by the fire with a pint in hand after a day of hiking. Wonderful food. Quaint little seating area outside under cover with heaters and blankets for night cap. We will definitely be returning. Highlight of our trip to the U.K. - including London.

We stayed with our dog and the staff made us so welcome. The food was great, especially the Lancashire breakfast . The pub is only a few yards to the Pendle Hill path. The village of Barley is very quaint and quiet. Only one negative, we only had one bedside light which made reading difficult. However we really enjoyed our stay.

Loved it!
We had a comfortable and pleasant overnight stay with breakfast. We also enjoyed an evening meal in the restaurant. Excellent food, service and warm welcome. The room was warm, facilities were good and we enjoyed a quiet nights sleep. Hope to return soon.
