There is limited on-site parking available, and it was full during our visit. The staff asked us to park in a public parking lot located opposite the hotel. This parking area feels somewhat isolated and does not appear secure. It was also not mentioned that parking operates on a first-come, first-served basis.

The breakfast options were quite limited and did not compare favorably to those at Hilton hotels. Additionally, the rooms are very basic and do not include a refrigerator.

Very comfy bed with a good selection of pillows.The staff are very helpful and friendly. There was a good selection of hot and cold food for breakfast, a good variety of options for other meals and a bar open til late. Great location for Barrow or the Lakes in general. Reasonably priced, I would definitely recommend!

We stayed at the holiday Inn on New Years Eve which turned out to be a great stopping off point for visiting Cumbria. The facilities and breakfast were great.

We would especially like to shout out to the housekeeping staff for their honesty and integrity in handing in some personal property which we inadvertently left in our room. Also a big thanks to Jemma who contacted us, checked that the item was ours and where it had been left then promptly returned it to us. The staff are a credit to the Holiday Inn and we can’t thank them enough.

We stayed as a family for two nights and had a great experience. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing break. Breakfast was fresh and had a good variety, making it easy for everyone to find something they liked. The location was convenient for getting around Barrow and exploring the area. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable stay, and we would happily return.

Lovely hotel with lovely spacious rooms and lovely food though limited food choices. Excellent service from all the staff. The only thing I could have loved to improve on is a faster shower water pressure.

Friendly and helpful staff. Cheap parking. Great breakfast.
A/C & heating was not obvious to control to heat heat and would often switch entirely off even while we were in the room.
Evening food was a bit disappointing.

Couple weekends break

Good. We had problems with the heating system and didn't want to ask the staff to much.
Apart from that the stay was great.

Excellent city centre hotel

This Holiday Inn is perfectly situated for the town centre of Barrow, and also numerous businesses nearby. It's clean, the staff are excellent and the addition of the Chromecast in every room is also a bonus when you have a long stay. My only criticism would be the coffee, and the lack of options such as a fried egg at breakfast - I appreciate the latter is because of the Express brand, but the coffee supplier should be changed.

Limited parking directly near hotel as its a busy spot. A short walk to overflow thats has a £2 charge. Expensive hotel for where it is feeding off off the BaE need for staff and accomodation; in par with most other places in surrounding area...i needed this as emergency due to sick parent rushed to hospital as couldnt stay at my parents house- too many people there...not a cost I wanted to incurr at this time but had no choice. Barrow is an expensive place to visit.

Room clean, bed too soft for me but thats a personal choice. Staff were very friendly, polite and professional. Breakfast is nice, fresh and there is enough choice for most people.

Overall a mass expense to visit in such difficult circimstances but had to be done. Place is central and staff are lovely.

Excellent hotel with nice touches

It was a charity weekend called Dave day. The hotel were most welcoming and a lovely touch in each room was a wooden spoon with Dave’s face engraved and year he was born / died. Also a small booklet about him and a recipe.
