The Old Well Inn

Visited the Well Inn 20/9/26 for Sunday Lunch. The pub was very run down and the garden untidy. The staff wher pleasant. As it was recommended as a very good dog friendly bar we were very disappointed. The Sunday lunch was poor. The carrots were not cooked, the gravy was awful and the meat not much better. The Yorkshire pudding was good.

A short notice night away to meet family at Bowes Museum. What a lovely old quirky hotel. Wonky floors and lots of character. Evening meal was superb, and great value for money, and an interesting mix of English and Indian food. The room was fine, we were in room 7, and it was huge, as well being very interesting, with original features. The only grumble is that the bathroom mirror was far too high for a five foot two person. Breakfast was fine, nicely served, and perfectly sufficient portions, with no waste. The cook/server was lovely and very friendly. All in all a very good stay, and we will be back. The photo at the top of this page, is NOT the hotel, it is nearby Bowes Museum, and it's very misleading......

Our stay was nice room was nice big,spacious Shower was OK for one or two nights.Very central breakfast was good service excellent. Hosts friendly. Only downside dogs allowed which I knew,but didn't expect them in Restaurant where breakfast was severed
