Great for a short stay.

Lovely room with all of the facilities you would expect. Friendly staff. A little difficult to find a parking space in the streets nearby.

I stayed here with my partner for a wedding. I got here around midday and fro that point onward everything was fantastic. All of the staff here were so friendly and accommodating, even arranging taxis for us and then keep an eye on them to arrive while we had a beer. We got back around midnight and had a chat with the owner, who again was really friendly. The room was super clean, fresh and cosy. The bed was big and the sheets were really crisp! If you’re ever in Barnard Castle I highly recommend you stay here, you won’t be disappointed. It’s a literal stones throw away from everything, so you can go for a mooch the next day and get a decent brew and cake before heading home! Thank you everyone at Cricketers Arms, you made a great day perfect!

Nice place to visit.

Checked in with no problem by a friendly manager called Tom. They have a good quiz on in the pub on Wednesdays with reasonably priced drinks. There is no food option due to corona staffing problems but this is industry wide. You cannot get takeaway deliveries in Barnard Castle but this is not the pubs fault but you can get an eye test like Dominic Cummins.

Helpful, friendly staff, the Cricketers Arms was perfectly situated for all there is to see and do, clean comfortable rooms, the only downside was you could hear traffic from 05.30hrs.
