Enjoyed a family dinner, food was delicious and kiddies meal great value. Friendly atmosphere and the service was excellent too!

Great establishment with amazing staff.

Visited last week with a friend who took me out for for my birthday. A lovely friendly welcome, & the choice of seating. Relaxing atmosphere, with gentle background music, out doors looked very appealing , but we chose indoor as it was a hot day. The menu has a great choice, definitely something for everyone.Once ordered the food wasn't long in following ,piping hot , and great portions. Clean plates from us ! very nice, quality and freshness is certainly the chefs priority at Valentines. Will certainly be visiting again very soon.

Excellent food, friendy service. There is a bit of magic to their food. I will return 👍🏻

We went for a wedding - not ours Cant comment on rooms as didn't stay but heard they were nice. Some nicer than others and vary in price significantly. Only down side - Service at bar at certain points was slow or non existent but other than that was fine. Typically expensive Beautiful location for a wedding Very aesthetic Food was nice Bride loved it and that's what matters

As usual, veggie all day breakfast was brilliant. Five stars. Always good quality and glamorgan veggie sausages. Love that they don't offer fake meat to vegetarians. Food is hot and fresh.

Lovely little place, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food and cakes. What more can you ask for, we will be back

2nd time here Myself and my mam and dad went for Sunday lunch and I have to say that it was absolutely outstanding. Sue is very friendly and her staff are also brilliant. The food was outstanding tasty and the puddings are also amazing. Would highly recommend it to anyone!

We had a drink here last night. The beer garden was a lovely sun trap! The inside decor looked great too but we were keen to sit outside. A great selection of drinks.

We arrived at the accommodation to be greeted by a lovely welcome pack. We stayed in Raby and were impressed by the space and amenities. My brother in law was particularly fond of people watching from the living room window. A comfortable and very reasonable way to enjoy Barnard Castle and surrounding area. We also enjoyed having a drink in the bar downstairs. Very handily situated. Will definitely return and can highly recommend to anyone.

What a lovely meal we had! Pleasant service. Delicious food. Great surroundings! Nothing not to like. The roast loin of cod and steak with all the trimmings were excellent. Will definitely go back!

My partner and I dropped in on a Wednesday night whilst staying in the area and it happened to be Burger night. It was our second visit to the Moorcock in a space of a week while staying in Barnard Castle. The food was immaculate on both occasions. However the burgers were to die for!! I had the special burger, juicy, tasty, cooked to perfection, we left with very full belly’s! Service is warm and friendly, very tasty ales on tap (Red Dust!) and also, excellent value for the quality of the meal and service provided. If we’re in the area again, there’s no question of a 3rd visit. Thanks again!
