Good location for town centre, and friendly reception but small, cramped room with dated and tired decor, the ensuite was well past its best before date and the single bed was very uncomfortable. I would not stay again unless desperate. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Baris 1 Apr 2021 #### ood sleep It was good as i was quite tired ##### Baris Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rob 14 Oct 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Rob Stayed 1 night in Oct 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nick 19 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Cheap and cheerful only downside was my room was above the local taxi rank and with sash windows was a bit rowdy at 2 am kick out time. Staff are friendly and location is good for local nightlife if that’s your thing. ##### Nick Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 23 Oct 2019 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Didn't even stay the night took one look and went to another hotel ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 11 Sept 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Aug 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Jun 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andrew 9 Mar 2019 Disliked: Room comfort It would have been nice to be warned that the taxi rank is outside and at 2.30am I would be woken up by screaming and shouting that lasted for about 40 minutes! Don't stop here unless you're going to go clubbing!! ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul 10 Jan 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Barebones Room was clean but cold, very dated with a tiny TV , the sink's drain bubbled presumably when the other rooms used their sink ,it's next to a taxi rank so there were people outside shouting and laughing until 3am during the week. shared bathroom's show was antique.there was no wifi in the rooms i would say in suitable for business stops ... probably alright for someone to sleep after beeing out on the town but the staff seemed friendly enough ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sue 26 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort I was given a room no bigger than a cupboard, it was grim, looked like a 1970’s time warp. Shower was horrible with plastic shower curtain, limescale caked on the shower tray and grotty towels that looked liked they must have been at least 20 years old. Room lock was dodgy, very dangerous if there was a fire whilst you were in the room. There is a takeaway opposite and the smells seep into the room. On the plus side the staff can’t do enough for you. ##### Sue Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Vincent 16 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Overnight stopover The outside of the hotel is going through a upgrade,I hope they then start on the rooms,the room I had although clean was very dated and in need of a revamp,other than that I would stay again. ##### Vincent Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen 15 Aug 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### Value for money stay Clean and tidy, simple hotel. Good friendly staff, room a little dated but ok. Very good breakfast. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul 27 Jul 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark, North Wales 27 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value for money I had a 3 night stay and found that this was excellent value for the money paid - The host Alex was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. The location is very convenient for the centre of the town. ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott, Kent 21 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good place to stay right in the centre Owners are great people, very friendly and helpful. Needed a place to stay overnight whilst on business trip and hotel couldn't have been more convenient being right in the centre. Room was absolutely fine for my needs and spotless. Had a great nights sleep (best I've slept in a year). Recommended! ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie, Ipswich 8 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place to stay This was the first time to pontefract, it was for a friend's funeral quite a few of us stayed the hotelier Alex was very accomadating and friendly would highly recommend it close to everything too ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gary 5 Oct 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Needs a total refit very run down rooms. needs a lot of attention and ££ ##### Gary Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela 11 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value for money The staff were lovely, they need to sort out front door keys for late night entry. I am sure they will get around to modernising the upstairs as well as they have done downstairs. Great shower. Bar needs real ale ##### Angela Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Richard, Cumbria 26 Jun 2017 Liked: Room comfort #### Ask about the disco before booking The Barley Mow was OK - nothing outstanding but then it was cheap. Welcome was OK, Breakfast was good, kettle worked but there was a shortage of things to make with it (and few extra available when asked), TV worked on some channels, Bathroom was tiny and you could not use the toilet without banging your legs against the wall. I didn't get any of the rooms pictured on the website (perhaps they are modernising in stages). Biggest problem tho' was the disco which is run on Friday and Saturday nights from 10pm to 2am which isn't noted on the website. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
