Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The roast was really good. Party of 5 and we all enjoyed our main course. The sticky toffee pudding was extremely dry so had to send it back. Service was good 😊

Starting with the drink - The bar has a range of ale that would put most places to shame, simply fantastic, I had 3 different Lancaster ales and all were top notch. The food was without doubt punching above its price, never seen pigeon for...£7.50….and it was perfectly cooked. There has been a change in the culinary heart of this place and it is only for the betterment of Barrow.More

Went here for a special occasion whilst up in the Lakes. The menu looks good and some decent specials. Starters were good, especially the pork belly. The main courses weren’t what I expected, the sea bream dish with a pea fricassee was basically pan fried...sea bream with fried potatoes, peas, chorizo and baby onions. No sauce that I could pick up. Didn’t get this dish at all and I don’t think it was served as intended, I notice now it has been replaced with Sea Bass. The haddock and chips, was good but the chips were so big and so many of them it would have been better with fries. And the mushy peas had seen better days.More

Stayed overnight for work and couldn't be more delighted - lovely, tasteful rooms that respect the building's heritage, very comfy bed, delicious food (dinner and breakfast) and a great price! A great asset to Barrow and a reminder of why we should support local business...above chain hotels. Will 100% stay againMore

We ate today party of 7. From the time we arrived, the staff were very friendly and eager to please. We were seated quickly and had the menu explained. Starters were excellent and presented beautifully. The main courses came with just the right amount of...time to rest and again were nicely presented. Clean plates all round! A small issue was quickly and efficiently resolved with no fuss. Deserts and coffees were lovely and we found the drinks to be reaonsably priced. Will definitely return and would recommend. Staff are working very hard and the chef is producing food to a good standard. It's been a few years since we had eaten at the doe but would not hesitate to book again.More

This grand old hotel has a restaurant and bar that looks like it should be in a Roaring 20s classic movie. Perfect use of Edison style lighting highlights the leather seating. Just an amazing looking place. I was there for lunch so I didn’t get...the full grand dinner experience but I appreciated that the menu featured a wide variety of foods. My wife and I both loved what we had (pastrami sandwich and fish and chips. We did a tour of the rooms. Each one is unique and feature period era beams but modern amenities.More

Terrible. 16 people paid £16 each for afternoon tea. 1st few sandwiches were very good but only a few plates of them. Asked for more sandwiches and staff pulled a face. Waited approx an hour and half for additional sandwiches (egg and tuna on plain...bread with great lumps of butter). 2 choices of cake. Slab chocolate fudge and a concoction of something nobody could identify and eat. There was a spicy sausage roll, ok and scones with jam and cream. 1 small bowl of whipped cream between 16 people. Eventually got more, some guests trVelled over a 100 miles for this get together. Mum to be was embarrassed at the offeri g and kept apologising. A number of us complained at the bar, and response was a shrug of the shoulders and 'sorry'. Staff service was non existent. We had to clear tables ourselves and then had to ask staff to remove all the dirty plates from the room. Very disappointed 😞 Appalling food and service. Would not recommend. Definately not worth the money.More

We had been here before when visiting Barrow so on this last occasion I didn't check the menu beforehand. I booked online, as usual, and on arrival I did check it and found that it did not have the usual choice, was very limited, and...that the prices were, in my opinion, extremely expensive. Good ambience and service, and the food was good but definitely not value for money. Unless the prices are reduced we will be going to Wetherspoon's the next time we visit. Disabled friendly.More

Just had Sunday lunch which absolutely dreadful. Duck parfait starter turned up as just as a slab of obviously shop bought, tasteless mess with limp accompanyments. . No bread or crackers were with the dish and only received when asked for. The parfait even had...the plastic sheet left on the base. My wife had Garlic mushrooms with a dry and crispy slice of bread which were luke warm at best. The lamb mains turned up cold as were the veg. It was returned to the kitchen where the chef had scraped the lamb and mash on to another plate and poured hot gravy over the plate. The veg were returned to the table having been microwaved. The whole lot was returned to the kitchen and I asked for a refund. The bar staff however were very apologetic and gave us a refund without question. Won't be returning.More

Loved the look of the building so we called in for a drink. The atmosphere was really nice and the Christmas decorations were lovely. We didn't eat but noticed food coming out of the kitchen which looked good. We will be back and hopefully stop...at this hotel.More

Stayed the night and were lucky enough that the chef agreed to add us to his already busy three course Christmas dinner menu. It was fabulous really enjoyed every course! We’ve also eaten here before for Sunday lunch which was also really great. The beers...are also very good and have a great selection of their own (Lancaster brewery) plus guest ales. An absolutely great place to eat, we’ll most definitely be back!More

We came for a Christmas party and unfortunately we were all disappointed. The turkey mains were all really bland, the fish mains were watery and the veg were all bland and overboiled. The sticky toffee puddings were microwaved too long so they'd gone hard and...dry. It was really disappointing and none of us would return unfortunately. I don't normally write reviews but I'd hate for anyone else to waste their money like we did. The staff were all really lovely though.More

I'm not sure I think bar meals are available in the afternoon but best call them directly.
