Latest review:

I grew up in the Peak District in the 80s and have been visiting The Barrel on and off for decades and it keeps going from strength to strength. Just completed a weekend stay where our party booked out all of the rooms and everyone had a fantastic time and was very happy with their lodgings. The service was warm, welcoming, gracious and fun. All meals, breakfast and dinner, were fantastic. The setting is stunning. Can't wait to make a return trip, as The Barrel is one of my all time favourite places to visit.

Our review of The Barrel Inn (August 2022)

Believed to date back to 1537, The Barrell Inn, nestled in Bretton in the heart of the Peak District, is an historic pub with a solid reputation for serving good food. It's not a place I'd visited before, nor a place that's featured in any of the major food guides, at least not for many years. But, with the arrival of new head chef Carl Riley in summer 2022 (a chef whose food I've very much enjoyed previously), I decided it was time for a visit and duly rocked up for lunch with my wife and two young children, on a gloriously sunny August Saturday....
