The Cricketers Arms, hotel in Barnard Castle

Situated in Barnard Castle and with Bowes Museum reachable within less than 1 km, The Cricketers Arms features a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar.

The Cricketers only has two rooms and we booked both as a family of 2 adults and two teenage boys as we were attending a wedding nearby. Due to the way the third party booking app worked it would only let us book two twin rooms. When the Cricketers contacted us they were very accommodating and changed the set up to a double and a twin. The rooms were tastefully decorated, clean and cosy. The beds were comfortable. Being in the centre of Barnard Castle it is an old and characterful building, and it is right in the middle of Main Street. The Cricketers Arms is a pub and so there was some noise until closing time at midnight. It wasn't that bad though and we had expected that this would be the case especially as we were staying on a Saturday night. But after this time the noise dropped off quickly and we had a peaceful nights sleep. Overall we were very happy and would definitely stay again.

    Plenty of shops, coffee bars, pubs .lots of history old buildings with interesting blue plaques. Steep in parts so I think it’s better for people who like to walk. Favourite pub was the Blue Bell very friendly and how a pub use to be. Lots of antiques shops to browse around. Nothing to avoid all good.

    Barnard Castle & the surrounding area is a beautiful place to visit. Great walking either by the river to the Abbey or a stroll around the friendly town to the Castle. Interesting history, nice shops, café, pubs & chippies. Relax & enjoy

    First I met lovely people at the Book Aid shop that drew me...

    First I met lovely people at the Book Aid shop that drew me in on the way to the castle. A woman there informed of the existence of some little known or advertised places of historical interest. The well known points of interest, the castle, the Bowes Museum, and the Butter Market—wryly referred to by local people as “the round thingy” in the middle of the high street—lived up to expectations. The charity thrift shops and the Witham, a cultural center cum shop on the High Street offered wonderful shopping. People working at the castle, the Bowes museum, and the food co-op were wonderfully helpful, The food and service at Blagraves in a remarkable building, parts of which date from the 15th century, were excellent. The town is easy to get around. Almost everything to be seen and done is on three contiguous streets, Galgate, the High Street, and the road leading from the Butter Market, about a five-minute walk, to the Bowes Museum (I didn’t get its name). There’s a sign for the castle ruins hidden and sloping downhill behind the Methodist church at the corner of Galgate and High Street. I was only disappointed to not be able to see the prayer labyrinth in the floor of St.Mary’s Anglican Church at the corner of High Street and the road to the museum. It was covered with chairs occupied by worshippers for a special service with performance by a huge childrens’ choir at the moment I looked in on a Friday afternoon and the seating was being kept in place for several services over that weekend of the third Sunday of Advent. It was a consolation to see such signs of spiritual life in that church, and, God willing, I’ll get to see the labyrinth at a quieter time.

    The Owners Roy & Rima are such an amazing couple, they really made us feel special even though we were only booked for 1 night. The bedroom (en suite) was enormous, very quaint as you would expect from a 12th Century building (the beer garden wall is part of the old Castle!) but with all the modern amenities we needed! The food is outstanding & the beer & ale choices are plentiful. Wish we could have stayed another night or 2, there's a lot to do & see in this area. We will definitely be back but for longer next time!

    The location was perfect! We were so close to the centre and had a lovely view of Barnard Castle at the bottom of the road. We really appreciated the hamper left by the hosts and all the facilities in the property such as fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher came in good use. There were so many nice restaurants and lovely walks nearby. We we really pleased that there was a space to park one car right outside the property.

    It was the little extras that made our stay so enjoyable: the homemade scones and jam, the homemade biscuits and fresh ground coffee and chocolates! Plenty of farm animals and wild visitors, the ducks, the hare and many pheasants. Situated in very quiet countryside just off A66 and Barnard Castle.

    The location was excellent for Barnard Castle and parking was easy. Room was clean and tea and coffee facilities were laid on. The facilities were appropriate to the low price for a central location but a couple of adjustments would have made the stay better. The staff were friendly and polite.

    The staff were so welcoming, knowledgeable and accommodating. They were not yet open for meals for the season yet but were still able to serve us a drink when we arrived. After trekking all day, this was a great treat. The room was clean and comfortable. The town is small and cute.
