Barnsley (Dearne Valley) hotel

First impressions were poor with cigarette butt's all over pathway and full ashtrays and bins and litter. Coffee machine not working at breakfast. Outside noise with cars racing throughout the night. Unable to leave window open for fresh air. This is a common occurrence according to reception staff Also made road dangerous when travelling too and from the hotel. Sleep quality affected.

although i've stayed in a lot of premier inns courtesy of work,this was the first time i've stayed in a premier inn plus room and even i have to admit i was impressed. despite staff being a bit keen at check in my room (42) was very modern and decorated to a high standard.my room was of a good size,comfy double bed,t.v,tea/coffee facilities,iron and board and a mini fridge and a good size bathroom and because of where my room was located it was quiet.add on a modern looking bar and restaurant and as the location was good for my plans it has a lot going for it.

Hotel looked clean and presentable outside and inside. Staff friendly and polite, super helpful too. Accessible room was one of the best I've stayed in. Lots of attention to detail. Comfortable bed, lots of room, and bathroom has had a lot of thought put into it. Wifi was a bit hit and miss, and the hairdryer didnt work, but not a deal-breaker for me. Breakfast was good, with a nice selection for the "full English"

Staff work hard, are friendly and polite. Rooms are tired and at very least need a little TLC or possibly more a bit of an update. Our bathroom had paint flaking off the ceiling and just didn't look great. Rooms were large and cleaned to a good standard. Yes there is some road noise but it wasn't too much of an issue. Food in restaurant was not great for us and is far from the best value.

We recently had a wonderful stay at Premier Inn with our grandchildren, and I just wanted to share how lovely the experience was. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us all feel welcome. Travelling with young children can sometimes be a bit challenging, but the team made everything so easy and enjoyable for us. A special mention has to go to Katie at breakfast time – she was absolutely fantastic with the grandchildren. Her kindness, patience, and cheerful attitude really stood out and made our mornings extra special. The children warmed to her straight away, and it made such a difference to our stay. The rooms were comfortable, the food was great, and the overall atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about their guests. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and would highly recommend it to anyone, especially families travelling with children.
