It was cold outside but the atmosphere and welcome from inside the pub was warm and friendly. We had a great 2 night stay staying in room 104 which was large and clean. We had 2 great meals sat infront of a big log fire and the breakfast filled even the biggest appitites.

My daughter got married nearby on the 9th February and a number of our wedding guests stayed at the Old Hand and Diamond Inn. Additionally, about 40 guests met there for dinner on the 8th. The rooms are generally very good although some are larger than others - the larger rooms were normally classed as very good by our wedding... More

We stayed here whilst attending a wedding at Rowton Castle. The Pub allowed us to check in early and were very friendly and welcoming. They were serving lunch at the time and the food looked and smelt amazing. The pub has a roaring fire in the bar which was welcome in the cold weather. The room we were allocated was... More

It is rare that I write reviews, and am only inclined to do so if service is excellent or appalling...The Old Hand and Diamond was superb. We used this B n B for a wedding reception at nearby Rowton Castle, we called to ask if we could check in early to change for the wedding and were given a room... More

I had a fantastic steak here, but the service was just beyond belief. The woman serving behind the bar seemed to make it her business to be difficult. Firstly I asked if they had wifi access in the pub and she said they did but they didn't like people using it because it created the wrong atmosphere. I was directed... More

Only living a few miles from The Old Hand & Diamnond, we don't use it as often as we should. However a Xmas dinner with some village friends really did make us think we should be popping in more often and especially to eat the carvery. Normally Xmas meals and also carveries can be a bit hit and miss and... More
