Housed in a 19th-century guardhouse and jail,
The Garrison’s warm, unpretentious rooms are
cosy and welcoming. Free WiFi, flat-screen TVs
and tea and coffee-making equipment come as
standard, while a traditional restaurant serves
breakfast, evening meals and Sunday lunch. The
relaxed lounge and bar with its exposed brick walls
offers pub lunches. Parking is free. The Garrison
prides itself on its unique historical character and
award-winning grounds and gardens. One of
the only independently owned Sheffield hotels,
The Garrison is Grade II listed, situated within
Hillsborough Barracks and is a former military
guardhouse and ammunition base completed
in 1854. It’s an ideal hotel for anyone wanting a
relaxing, short stay or weekend break. Check in
and experience the ambience of the Guardhouse
Bar and Restaurant. The restaurant is open seven
days a week and serves a good selection of global
cuisine, from traditional steaks to Continental fare
and homemade favourites. Take your pick from an
all-day bar menu or a seasonal a la carte menu.
Promotions during the week allow diners to enjoy
two courses for a fixed price. The cajun salmon fillet
with sweet potato fries and peppers comes highly
recommended, though most of the dishes from the
grill section look mouth-wateringly good. The hotel is
only minutes away from Sheffield’s major transport
links. The city’s Supertram and Hillsborough bus
Interchange are a two-minute walk away and will
take you directly to Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield
Motorpoint Arena and Meadowhall shopping
centre. Guests really can savour a peaceful stroll
in a national country park during the day and enjoy
the nightlife of a major metropolitan city centre in
the evening before retreating to The Garrison to
look forward to a blissful night’s sleep in their ultra-
comfy bed.
