Great cider options, delicious food and a friendly atmosphere. The roast dinner was great and the desserts were great too.

Fantastic pub. One of the best pies I’ve ever had in my life. Nice ales on tap too.

Lovely pub. Owned by some lovely individuals, found this place from tripadvisor and it didn’t disappoint. They served us pies that were gorgeous and some of the best we had ever had. The atmosphere was also great feeling like a proper English pub. The only problems we encountered were that it was quite a small place, they had trouble printing out menus and didn’t have them available digitally so we couldn’t pick what we wanted beforehand with even what was on google being wrongand they didn’t have any WiFi which upset the kids greatly. However all in all a very great pub and a must for tourists. Parking: Good amount of parking for size of pub. Kid-friendliness: No WiFi, so kids got bored pretty easily.

I went for dinner here with the family. The drinks were good and the food was great! I had the steak and Stilton pie which was exceptional! They really know how to make a pie, the portions were a good size too. I would thoroughly recommend it if you’re in the area! Worth booking

I attended with my wife on early Saturday evening. After sitting at a vacant table the manager, in an aggressive manner informed us that the table was reserved, in 30 minutes time. We moved to another vacant table which was reserved in nearly two hours time. We asked about getting food and told us we couldn’t have any as they only get in what’s needed for the evening?? You must have to pre book your food. We have a little Pomeranian which was sat on a bench seat as there was a much larger dog trying to get to him. The young lady who served us drinks came over chatting politely and stroked him, asking what type he was etc. 5 minutes later the manager came up to us, in the same manner as before and told us to get the dog off the furniture. It was a wooden bench, but fair enough and we did. We certainly won’t be visiting his premises again. He obviously took an instant dislike to us. If upon our arrival he had said that there wasn’t any food, although a couple on the next table had called in just before us and were able to order food, then we would have accepted that. Well done for sterling customer service.

Brilliant evening at Barley Mow. I'd been a year ago.One of best steak pies ever and big portions so we could only share the Bakewell tart.Variety of ciders are superb .Quiz night on Wed. added to atmosphere but separated from diners and done quietly. Friendly and welcoming.Just love this cosy atmospheric traditional pub. Wish I lived nearer.

What a gem of a pub! Me and my friend were staying in the local area and this pub was recommended by our B&B host. The pub is lovely & cosy, the landlady Colette was incredibly welcoming and friendly, you can tell she really cares about the pub. We had some lovely wine, beef brisket chilli & a steak and ale pie. The food was amazing!!! We would really recommend coming here. :) For both of the main meals (very generous portions), a bottle of wine, and two medium glasses it was £59, great value!!

Pulled into the carpark and the landlord literally ran across the road before I'd even got out of my van and told me to park the other way .Absolute misery guts . I said forget it mate there's plenty of other pubs .Never again avoid .
