Lovely hotel with lots of original features. Rooms were spotless, good decorative standard and the beds are so comfortable. Air conditioning and heating you can control yourself. DH Lawrence stayed there once. Good location, free parking, near to shops, but not too close. They do the best bourbon Ive ever tasted and lots of different drinks like English vodka. Only thing Id rate less than 5 stars was the night porter who I just found a bit difficult, not that helpful and a little odd, but that is only my opinion!

I always stay here when I visit Barrow. It is a stones throw from the railway station and close to local bus routes. The hotel just has a really nice ambience. The rooms are a good size, clean and have good comfy beds. Great local bar which also serves great food. All the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.

It’s an exceptional place to stay for business or leisure, everything is provided and less than a minute walk from the train station in case you decide not to drive. Recommend any day!

Lovely hotel, conveniently located.
I’m a regular visitor to the town while I’m helping our son and his partner modernise a house which they’ve recently bought thst. This is a gem of a hotel which I will be staying at whenever I’m visiting from now on. Check in was very friendly and efficient. The room was lovely. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Tea and coffee making facilities were generously stocked. The bathroom was spotless and was a good size with a nice powerful shower. The restaurant has a good variety of reasonably priced meals and an extensive selection of beers to help you unwind after a hard day. Breakfast was the same quality as everything else at the hotel and very reasonably priced. I’m looking forward to staying again when I visit again in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for posting the excellent review, really appreciated. I think we're the only hotel in the centre of Barrow that still has free private parking and sadly we can't get it any closer. Hope you get the chance to visit again.

The room is clean and tidy with everything you need. Little treats like oat cookies provided are really good as sometimes when you arrived after a long drive with really adverse weather, these little treats helps a lot. All the staff are really helpful , cheerful and efficient. The restaurant downstairs is a must go. The air-condition inside the room can not be adjusted and there is no hair dryer available inside the room as well.

Thanks for the review - the air con is completely adjustable and we do have hair dryers - please call down to the reception team if you visit again and they will bring you a hairdryer (normally they're already in the rooms) and show you how to adjust the air con. Thanks

We've stayed at the Hotel several times over the years, always provide a great service with clean, modern rooms that are both warm and comfortable with everything you need for a short or long stay. Priced very fairly and the choice of drinks at the bar is excellent, breakfast is amazing and you certainly won't go hungry. Looking forward to my return in the new year.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH- BARROW
Nice room. I would recommend double glazing the windows, as the hotel stands on the corner, of two reasonably busy roads.It is very convient for the station,being 5 minutes level walk away. Staff we good the food recommend. It's clean and has a lift to all floors.

over rated
never know how this could deserve an 8 rating. i would suggest 5. First there is no place to offload the bags unless you love to park on a busy intersection while offloading. second the floor boards are squeaky. there is no aircon but that I guess is standard for a 3 star htl (it is rated 4), but the staff are pretty nice and although I came in one day earlier they changed the date which has never been done before, so that takes the cake for me to be more generous in my ratings.

Everything was fine except the fact that on multiple occasions i had the cleaning staff coing into my room either when i was asleep and when they opened the door i woke up to it. They also came into my room when i needed a minute to finish changing

Great for Business Stays
Stay at the Duke of Edinburgh quite regularly with work - Rooms are generally spacious/modern with hot/powerful showers. Really friendly reception team who are always willing to help with invoicing etc Car parking system a little inconvenient as you have to collect the voucher from reception to display in your car across the road. Also the car park isn't overly big - not sure about alternatives
