TOTALLY RELAXING
Pros:

Everything was wonderful. Chris, the Landlord, was friendly and welcoming, and so were the rest of the team. The pub felt very homely, and we had a very relaxing stay. Our dog was made welcome too, and the staff were happy to show him attention. The view from our bedroom was amazing. Breakfast was lovely; and also the meals served in the restaurant.

Cons:

We we thrilled to have found this gem of a pub, but so disappointed to discover the Owner/Landlord was leaving.

A warm and friendly welcome and a comfortable stay.
Pros:

We received a very warm welcome and were extremely well looked after throughout our stay. The room was very nice with a great big shower and very comfortable bedding.

Cons:

It would be unfair to say we didn't like the location, as it was clear on booking, but it is on a busy road and there isn't anywhere you can walk to, but we were expecting that so it was not an issue and it is not far to drive to Richmond and other nice villages.

First class in all respects
Pros:

Very welcoming, for us the ideal halfway location, although in mist of refurbishment spotlessly clean,really well maintained, fantastic food, great portions, good beer. Staff really friendly and very attentive. We were most definitely make this our halfway house in future and I would highly recommend hotel to anybody wishing to stay in the Barnard Castle area.

Cons:

Actually, really was nothing to dislike about the property

Fabulous food and a lovely warm welcome
Pros:

Food was amazing very friendly staff loved the views out of the windows

Cons:

The outside looked scruffy which was a shame as it would be easy to pass it and not see what a gem of a place it is.

Best steak pie for miles around!
Pros:

Bang on the A66 (but quieter than you might expect), The Fox Hall Inn offers clean, comfortable accomodation, but it's two big attractions are the friendliness of the staff and the food. Cooked breakfast was fantastic, as was the evening meal we had the night before. Best homemade steak pie for miles around!
