The Barge Inn

We ate there but did not have a room. The homemade vegan burgers, served on pretzel buns with nice fresh tomato and lettuce, and carmelized onion, were delicious. Came with a large serving of chips and a small stack of some of the best onion rings I've had. Too much food, but we soldiered through. They also have a good selection of sparkling and still ciders, although the still ciders are served room-temperature, so you might ask for ice. Comfortable tables and chairs, a small fire, and eclectic light fixtures make it cozy and inviting.

Went there on Thursday for a lunchtime meal with 2 others. Friendly staff, good food, and lovely cosy feel to the place. A little disappointing that the pub was pushing the downloading of an app to gain rewards and discounts but when attempting to use it, the bar staff said you can't use it until 2 days after you've downloaded it which felt a bit like a con to us. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 course meals with drinks. There is a lovely garden outside with a bar, which then backs onto the canal with a number of tables alongside the water. Will be amazing once the warmer weather arrives.

Nice location. Side of canal. Came in March so could not use garden due to time of year. Room small but clean but could do with decorating including window frames and draft proofing. Rooms well stocked. General refurb needed especially carpets on stairs and landing. Entrance and bar in need of redecorating to make more appealing. Staff were really friendly, happy and helpful. Food was good too. Overall a happy with stay. Would we stay again, yes but not in small double room.
