The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The restaurant was very nicely designed and the food was amazing. I had the steak pie and to be honest, the nicest pie I have had in years. Good selection of beers and wines, and just generally very impressed overall. Looking forward to using this as my Midlands stop over in future.

I only had one slight issue and that was the shower curtain. It wrapped itself around me due to the pressure of the shower and open bathroom door. Apart from that I had no other issues.

The room was very spacious and bed very comfortable. Having a bar and resturant in the same building The Barns have been restored to a very high standard. We loved the meals and staff were really helpful and really looked after us

The bathroom wash hand basin did not have a plug in the sink that worked. So to wash or use it for shaving was impossible. Also the flusher in the wall beside the WC was very stiff and I had to push it with both hands to give the right pressure to flush the toilet properly. Definitely needs a plumber to check out this room

This was a comfortable hotel, quite well placed for an overnight stop on a journey from south to north. There was plenty of parking available, and my room was clean and comfortable. The dinner in the bar area was pleasant and reasonable value for money.

It was a bit disconcerting to see a sign asking guests to remove their work boots before going from reception towards the bedrooms. The breakfast choice was fine, but I did not like the sausage or beans - and the portion of beans was far too big in relation to the other elements of the cooked breakfast.

The look and location was beautiful

The staff. Especially the staff who were on duty for breakfast. None of them were very pleasant or helpful. We were left standing waiting to be seated for a 3 or 4 minutes with no staff around at all then when a lady eventually turned up it felt like she was irritated by us. Just told us to go sit down and then shouted across the room to just sit at a table. When she came to ask if we wanted tea or coffee etc she slammed the glass of juice on the table. We felt like a burden.

The barns was a lovely place to stay , the rooms exceeded our expectations , were early nicely appointed and spotlessly clean. The showers were powerful , spacious and hot. The food in the lounge was superb and fairly priced. In our case the location was superb as it was near to our working destination, but I couldn’t comment further about its links to nearby areas. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. The WiFi was a bit wobbly but the mobile signal was great so just switched to a hotspot for a bit of productivity. Wouldn’t hesitate to come again, for business or for pleasure.thanks for a great stay.

WiFi-but that’s being picky.

The property was immaculate , staff polite and helpful.

We booked for one night and seeing as it was our Anniversary the day after asked to stay another night. The room we were first allocated was perfect , however to stay an extra night we had to vacate to another room which was not as nice and the same price. We were told it was because of the twin room we were staying in, but was told 18 rooms were available , surely they had another twin room? It was an inconvenience and annoying paying for a ‘ not so nice’ room.

Clean and comfortable room, hot shower, Good location. Tasty hot and cold choices available for breakfast. gave us early check-in which helped, because we were attending a wedding reception nearby.

No bottles of water available in room which I think is important to have, especially when paying £125 a night. No biscuits to go with tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast menu: O nly had scrambled egg option available on menu, so asked if I could have a fried egg which they eventually done for me. Never experienced that before, there should always be options for how you can have egg cooked on a breakfast wherever you stay.

I have stayed at the Barns for the last 3 years, always lives up to expectations, all rooms are comfortable and roomy

arriving around 14.00 to 15.00 car park is always full of parents cars collecting their children from the school across from the hotel, which makes trying to get in and out of the hotel car park a nightmare, plus they take the limited car parking spaces that should be for the paying guests of the hotel.. I think this should be looked at for the future, as this puts me off a little when checking into the Barns

Although I had arranged in advance with ABSA Bank what my likely expenses would be in the UK, I had difficulty using the credit card on arrival. Nikki, the receptionist, was really laid-back while I phoned my bank in South Africa to get my arrangement sorted. Eventually, I did and from that moment onwards, everything worked smoothly

The only comment, not having smoking rooms

Everything close at hand, friendly, helpful staff.

Breakfast was limited regarding fruit and continental choices. When producing poached eggs on toast, make sure excess water clear from eggs before putting on plate with toast. These are little things, but make such a difference to one’s stay, this hotel could be outstanding. Also having a makeup mirror or an easily accessible mirror in the room would be helpful.
