We had out wedding at the Fairway (Bluebell), had a fantasic day thanks to the great staff and seemless planning! Thank you to all the staff, especially Emma, Marian and Anouk. The food was excellent- and the breakfast the next morning was cooked fresh to order. We were blown away by the bridal suite- a very impressive room which topped... More

Stayed at the FAIRWAY hotel here a couple of times for a night out in Barnsley. It's only £5 in a taxi to town. The hotel is cheap, clean and spacious and has a late check out of midday so you have time to recover from the partying. Another bonus we had a lovely mixed grill down in the bar... More

We visited the Bluebell a while ago for a romantic weekend and the room was cosy and warm and clean and the staff very professional and efficient. Only gripe was that parts of the car park weren't gritted and quite slippy with ice. We ate there both days and the food wasn't fine dining but was still rather good, nice... More

Went for works christmas party night which included 3 course meal and disco--fab table settings--streamers, crackers, hats, party poppers- looked really presentable as though someone has really thought about the presentation. Lovely food - hot, nicely cooked ect. Drinks are a tad expensive but did'nt expect anything else considering meal was only £22.50 per person including disco. Can understand why... More

We went to a wedding here and I was initially quite excited. I'd been to a few dinner & dances at Christmas here and always had a good experience. The room for the wedding was set out beautifully, but having to wait for the bride, my mind started to wander and I looked to the ceiling-dirty air conditioning stains on... More

We got married in the Bluebell banqueting suite in 2011. (although we've had to date it on here as 2012 as the calender doesn't go as far back as last year. The staff were excellent, great with our children, they did everything we asked. All rooms were good no complaints from family and friends that stayed over, And the Honeymoon... More

Food was generally good - either carvery or a la carte. Stayed for a week to visit family. Room ok, clean - unfortunately we had the end one next to the stairs (which creak) - and each nights sleep marred by checking of fire doors at 03h00 every morning. Good value for money.
