We had a pleasant stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The hosts - John and Elizabeth were extremely friendly and offered a great experience to their guests. Kids loved playing with their pet dog and had plenty of space to play and relax . King room with additional lounge , delicious breakfast , main lounge , access to a big garden are ideal for families to spend quality time . If you are looking for quiet and calm place to stay for a good price , definitely recommend Barnfields . We will be definitely booking again .

nothing I could think of

We were welcomed by the host on arrival and was very attentive to our needs. 9 yr old son with me loved the freedom of big garden and pond to venture too and the dog was a major hit and good company for him. We were going to Walton 1 day so much closer than coming from home. Very unique stay with a round bed and statues around house and garden . our room was nice with balcony and seating and sofa indoors for couple of nice chilled evenings. Host found out I had food intollerances and was thoughtful and went out to get more suitable supplies for breakfast.

I had a very comfortable stay here. John was a pleasure to talk to (as was Minty the dog!). The location is wonderfully peaceful, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Really enjoyed the quiet, relaxed continental breakfast in the morning. The mini fridge with complimentary milk and other touches was much appreciated. Secure off-road parking was a great bonus. Will stay again when back in the area for work.

A very comfortable stay in a lovely quiet location. Breakfast was delicious and our host was very friendly and keen to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The bed was comfortable and it was great having a mini fridge in the room - with some complimentary snacks and drinks included!

You have to be happy to drive in and out of the town, but that wasn't a problem for us.

Lovely continental breakfast, would of been nice for a full english. John was such a great welcoming host. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet his wife as she was away. Their dog was so cute. My twins loved it here playing with the dog. Felt so comfortable and relaxed, john was a young man at heart and we all got on so well. Was nice decor in the rooms, the wife had brought her culture in the rooms, and we had the lounge to ourselves which was nice to chill out. The garden was beautifull and lovely to relax in, until my twins made so much noise playing, nice pond at the back with ducks. Nice touches was a mini fridge with complimentary drinks. Would come back again in future.

A full english would have been nice, also just needed a bit of a clean but not too bad.

The owner John went above and beyond with his accommodating attitude and friendly service that he provided! The bedroom was a very good size with a stocked fridge which contained complimentary snacks and drinks and a jug of fresh milk. The room had a balcony which was perfect to sit on and catch some afternoon rays with a cuppa! The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever stayed in! John met us with a smile and with his companion, little Minty the Yorkshire Terrier , we instantly felt welcomed into his home! The dining room is a good size and again, John was full of smiles and nice conversation during our lovely continental breakfast!

Although the property may appear slightly dated, the service received far outweighs this!

such a lovely setting, beautiful grounds, a little more care could be given to grass and weeds up the drive way that is me trying to find any thing as immaculate manicured grounds would then represent more of what is found in the property which is so so lovely, very homely yet quite glam too

simply trying to find some fault, there were a few cob webs around window in the lovely en-suite but every thing was just lovely

Was amazing a well kept secret how more people don’t know about it I don’t know it’s like a stately home rooms you would expect in a 5 star hotel the hosts John and Elizabeth made you feel special and extremely friendly and helpful will definitely be going back been in quite a few b and bs This was certainly different to any I’ve been in before.

Nothing to say that I could fault

Beautiful, luxurious property, quiet but really well situated for activities, shops and restaurants. The host, John, was absolutely amazing and made us feel right at home immediately. He was very flexible and accommodating and made everything feel so easy. We had an amazing time and have every intention of returning in the not too distant future! Breakfast was simple but refreshingly so!

I can't honestly say there wasn't anything we didn't like! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and hope to be back there again soon.
