Has character, just needs a bit of a room refresh
The pub has a lot of character, and the interior of the downstairs is very nice. The free drink on arrival is also a nice touch. The room was okay though the mattress was very old, and the toilet/shower dripped all night. We had a room facing out into the courtyard and it was pretty noisy until 1/2am. It was good for one night.

Royal Hotel /Barrow-In-Furness
My experience here is not a great one but satisfactory! Clean but the mattress and pillows very old,not comfortable!. In bathroom except toilet paper roll, nothing not even a small hand soap. For 3 days nobody check the room,to don't mention that garbage disposal wasn't changed! Breakfast supposed to be served for free but due to some circumstances, wasn't! It could've be nice to be replaced with a coffee,a croissant,a fruit at least!

Sunday break in Barrow in Furness
The room was a little cramped with a small bathroom, but the value for money more than outweighed those concerns. The bar area is amazing with enough books to challenge a lot of rural libraries. Needs to be seen in person to truly appreciate it. The area was really quiet with no discernible traffic sounds and spotlessly clean. The only downside was no breakfast because the chef was in isolation due to covid but that was refunded so only the food was lost. Lovely staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Very happy to go again

I was made very welcome by the landlady and her staff, very helpful. room was more than excellent, with all the facilities necessary, and comfortable.. As i was en-route to Furness Generaal the next day,for an operation, it was a shame i could n't have the breakfast ! I will stay there again, prior to the next op, and i also intend popping back in to see them as well, and have lunch there. Perfect

Industrial Barrow
I stayed in The Royal Hotel for a one night business trip. The Hotel is in need of a lot of refurbishment. It is more of a pub than an hotel. When I arrived the bar was in full swing, and this continued all evening. The hotel is a long walk into town and is located in a run down/industrial area. The room was ok, but not very clean. The breakfast was cold and they had no eggs. I would not return.

Simply awful
Don’t know where they got the three stars from. Room was terrible, service did the job but wasn’t up to much. Was there on business and took the wife, I felt terrible for her. I’ve spent twelve years in the navy and slept in some terrible places.......this was the worst.
