The food was okay, it was a reasonable standard and plenty of it if you wanted. The activities were varied and suited all ages, we went with a 13 and 15 year old and both enjoyed almost all the activities. However, the accommodation was awful, clearly had never been refurbished since the chalets were built for Pontins. Most of the... more

We are just back from a family break at Barton Hall. We had travelled from the North of Scotland and therefore we were hopeful that this journey would be worthwhile and it certainly was.

I have just returned from Barton Hall with a school group and I have to say that overall, I was impressed. A wide range of exciting activities are offered, instruction is usually of a high standard, and the accommodation, although basic, is clean and comfortable.

We arrived at Barton Hall for a 3 night family activity holiday. Be prepared for a big shock - the centre is nothing like the images on the website or in the brochure. We received no welcome and were left waiting for someone to show us to our rooms for half an hour. The lounge in which we were left... more
