Premier Inn Sheffield/Barnsley (M1 Jct36) hotel

Very friendly and helpful staff. One of our party needs gluten free and this was no problem.

We use this hotel as a stop over for an annual convention that we usually have a stall at (Chillcon in Ecclesfield, Sheffield). It's conveniently located about 10 minutes away, easy to get to, ample parking and clean, comfortable and quiet, no frills rooms. There's a desk in the room to get a bit of work done and the free WiFi is good enough for web browsing and emails etc. TV has a selection of Freeview channels to watch but nothing mind blowing. Faster WiFi is available if you want to stream for £5 a day, which isn't terrible if you're going to spend a few hours in watching something. The on site restaurant is a nice pub with a friendly atmosphere and a good selection of food. Since our previous stay my wife has had to commit to a gluten free diet which makes eating out quite difficult so we were pleased to see the restaurant had a gluten free menu to make it easy to find something suitable - it wasn't huge but certainly more than a lot of places do. Also nice to see actual gluten free substitutes on the menu instead of the usual "we just don't put the bread on" type compromises. The meal voucher is also well worth booking as you get your 2 course evening meal plus a drink and a full English breakfast in the morning at a significant discount. Overall, we always look forward to our stay here as it's the perfect place to prepare the night before a busy convention!
