After a long drive of 5 hours I looked forward to staying in this comfortable 'boutique' hotel. Big tip: Do not believe the photos on the website. The reception area was impressive and the bar looked spacious. On collecting my keys I was directed to a sort of converted stable block area out the back; first problem - if you... more

I have been there in february 2009, at the reception were only one person busy between incoming phone calls, fax and not able to attend well. I went in my room but it was to hot, so I tried the restaurant area while refreshing my room with opening windows, The restaurant Manager was a Indian guy very good personality but... more

This hotel is just lovely. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in Deans Lodge and the room was fab. The dinner in the evening was scrumptuous with attentive, but unobtrusive waiting staff. Thank you more

Stayed here on business. Room was a nice size but the bathroom left a lot to be desired. Old '80s spa bath that had seen better days. The lights above the sink didn't work so shaving was hit and miss, heard someone else comment the same. Room temp was a problem for some of my party, too hot, windows difficult... more

I stayed 4 nights at this hotel which seems to suffer from a split personality with the Deane's Lodge being the up market side and the rest of the hotel rooms the poor relations! I was greeted in a very offhand way, not a good first impression on my first stay at this establishment. The room, which I quickly started... more

Well, what can I say........I'll try to be objective. I stayed one night at The Barn. The staff were really great, the reception and public areas are very nice but the bedrooms in the old blocks are dire. A short walk from reception to the bedroom blocks was through the hotel gardens. To access my room I had to climb... more

Before writing this, I took a minute or 2 to read some of the other reviews, & in all honesty, it's hard to believe I stayed in the same hotel as many of them! Admittedly, this was not my first stay at the Barn. However, it was my first time in Deane's Lodge, & will certainly not be my last.... more

Stayed here earlier this year and wish I hadn't. The hotel rooms were more reminscent of Feltham Remand Centre or a flea-ridden one-star hovel in Somalia than most English hotels that dare to charge these prices. The toilet was 89cms from the bed. How do they get away with it? more

I stayed at this hotel as I was attending a wedding in the area. A number of my friends also stayed at the hotel, the majority of us booked the standard rooms paying £95 for the privilege. I don't really know where to begin with the amount of complaints that we had over breakfast the next morning. Here are just... more
