Front of house staff were friendly efficient and respectful-including the fair haired housekeeper. Nothing was too much trouble. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the main bedroom had a fridge for fresh milk which was perfect for morning tea. Excellent lunch and dinner meals. A popular place with the locals.

En suite needed freshening up and maintenance on the property was showing signs of wear however I believe this is an old property which is part of its charm and character. The hot water does take time to come through to the bathroom but the knack is to run the hot tap in the bath first-a sign would help guests. The long curtains on the main bedroom window blocked the heat so we rested them on the window sill to aid air flow.

This is a typical English pub with accommodations upstairs. It's a great pub with good beer and drinks choices and good food. The rooms are nice, with ensuite bathrooms and the usual amenities. Breakfast was an added bonus for us and was a lot more than expected; they have a menu with several choices as well as the usual cereal and bread/pastry options. Overall this was a great stay for us and will stay there again when next in Barton. I have family there so visit once a year at least.

Due to this being a smaller village the pub closes at 10pm Monday thru Thursday rather than the more common 11pm.

This is a very busy establishment and I was made very welcome on arrival despite the staff being hard pressed in a busy Friday night bar. The food is cooked to order and is excellent. Special mention must go to the Dog Menu, which provides high quality, beautifully presented food in special pottery bowls. My two Border Collies clearly relished their sausage and mash and chicken casserole. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The welcome folder has all the information one needs and for those so minded the TV will pick up subscriptions such as BBC iPlayer and Amazon Prime. I was only able to get to breakfast on one day and that was also cooked to order by a very welcoming and chatty chef. I would definitely like to visit again.

I have no complaints. Parking is a bit tight, but that can't be helped and if one is prepared to wait until a little later the car can be moved once a space is available. There is ample public parking nearby.

The service was excellent - welcoming, friendly and professional. Particularly the gentleman behind the bar who welcomed us and showed us to our room. He took time to explain how everything worked. Also offered advice when we were choosing our evening meal and drinks. Also the gentleman who served us breakfast was professional and polite. Both were very customer focused. Apologies as I didn’t catch either of their names. Also the food was delicious. Can recommend the halloumi starter. The cooked breakfast (included in our price) was also excellent.

Lovely welcoming place to stay. The room was amazing with a lovely comfortable bed and we had two great nights sleep. We specifically chose this place as it was Dog Friendly, and it certainly was that! A dog bed, treats, water bowl and a ball we're provided and the wooden floors are an excellent idea for muddy paws and little accidents! The food was exceptional, Head Chef Pete runs an amazing kitchen. Breakfast included a traditional full English or some lighter alternatives which was a pleasant surprise. Dinner was just as yummy and lived up to the Restaurant of the Year expectations. The staff were all brilliant, friendly and very helpful. Would definitely stay again.

It's only personal choice but as we couldn't take the dog in the main restaurant which is understandable, we ate in the bar / lounge area. This wasn't a problem at Breakfast however in the evening when the pub is busier and the music fairly loud, there wasn't any quiter spaces to eat.

Lovely big room with high ceilings, kingsize bed, and great tea/ coffee facilities. The room was very comfortable and clean, I was very happy in there. The staff were all extremely friendly and breakfast was excellent. I would definitely stay again if the occasion arrises and have recommended to freinds & colleagues.

Room 7 would benefit from a handle on the wall of the shower- bath. It's very slippy & there's nothing to hold onto when getting in & out. Also the bathroom window won't close as it's blocked by an unusable & unnecessary blind. Additionally as a single woman visiting I was uncomfortable having to check in at a busy bar - it would be nice if there was a separate area to do this where drinkers aren't all listening & watching.

Great pub, with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff that could not do enough to make our stay more enjoyable. Food was excellent with wide variety of drinks on offer at very reasonable prices. This was our third stay visiting friends close by, and the place gets better each time. Rooms comfortable and decorated and furnished with everything we required. Also dog friendly and they were treat so well and made to feel welcome at all times.

Nothing

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable, the bed was enormous! Good WiFi connection and fresh milk in the fridge. Excellent breakfast and we ate there in the evening and had e really good meal.

Being a busy pub it is noisy until closing time and it is situated on a busy main road. We’ve stayed here a few times and that doesn’t bother us but is something to be aware of.

The staff were friendly and the service was very good. I enjoyed the evening meals, food was fresh and piping hot. The breakfasts were delicious and the breakfast staff were very attentive- I loved my vegetarian breakfast and again the food was nice and hot. The bed in my room was very comfortable.

My room was directly above the bar area & overlooked the car park/smoking area, which became very noisy on my second night there as there was a private function being held with very loud music & the pub didn’t go quiet until after midnight.

The breakfast was good although I was hoping for granola & fresh fruit. There wasn’t any out so not sure if I had to order ( the waitress did not mention it) The scrambled eggs were nice though. Unfortunately no Marmite was available so had no toast. We enjoyed both lunch & dinner the previous day. Excellent service

The bathroom plug (room 4) did not work & there was no hot water for the shower..
