The Barge Inn

I have stayed here many times. It never lets me down. Thanks guys.

Positives: Clean room The Wharf, but couldn't swing a cat, extremely small. Early arrival before 3 pm, and told by Bar person no check in before that. No safe space to leave our small amount of luggage during that period. Experience on exploring and sitting in garden ......very old rickety tables-chairs in lower garden, pigeon/bird poo on most tables. Decided that we would eat at places such as The Lock Inn, The Canal inn, The Fig and The Bolthole for both breakfasts and evening meals, much mire amenable in both value for money and surroundings. Sadly The Barge Inn did not live up to our expectation as described on websites we viewed, even menu was totally different when shown on arrival. Of note, can we suggest staff are given some hospitality training in customer care and to help promote what could be a beautiful Inn, as on a perfect site regarding setting, right by canal.

Top staff top quality food and perfect location

the Barge is a pub with accomodation in a very good location, about 10 minutes walk from the town centre. Although the staff are welcoming and the room was clean, the overall appearance of the pub is that it is shabby and run down. The carpet on the staircase leading to the bedrooms was grubby and had a large hole in it. outside the garden furniture has seen better days and there is a canopy which has come adrift from its fixings and been lashed to the outside bar. However, the draught beer was well kept and tasted brilliant!

Excellent location, fantastic food,friendly staff ,lovely breakfast
