From the moment we were shown into the Bar (as we arrived slightly earlier than anticipated) to the moment we left the Restaurant we were shown wonderful hospitality by the staff - very courteous, friendly and helpful in every way and we were seated by the window, overlooking the frozen river which was very picturesque and romantic. The 3 course... More

This was a wonderful combination of the relaxed and luxurious. Very comfortable and well-appointed room; excellent all-round facilities; very helpful and friendly staff. I was there for a friends' daughters' 21st party - which was excellent in itself. I highly recommend the functions facilities. More

My wife and I traveled as part of a larger group for the New Years Eve do. The hotel itself was very good - clean well furnished rooms and a nice feel to it. The party night itself was also pretty good but was not in the barn itself, and we did feel slightly cramped in the other function room.... More

We went to this hotel for New year in a party of 12. We had a fantastic stay and we cannot express how friendly and helpful the staff were. The food and the overall evening was excellant and we will certainly be considering booking again next year. The rooms in the hotel were very comfortable and very clean. Thank you... More

We celebrated my Mother's 90th birthday on 29th Dec.2011 with lunch at The Barns. Everything was very well done. The staff decorated the tables and the restaurant looked really lovely. All our guests commented on the excellent food and service. The staff were very attentive, helpful and polite. My Mother was delighted with her special treat. More

Stayed here one night following a New Year's Eve party to celebrate a fortieth wedding anniversary. Bedroom was a good size, modern decor, very comfortable bed, easily-controlled room temperature. Home cooked biscuits with the tea/coffee and bottled water were nice touches. Lovely surprise to find we had a late check out (2pm) on New Year's day, as well as breakfast/brunch... More

Sarah the organiser for this event was very helpful and made it very easy for us to arrange our works do here. The only downfall was that it was held in a different area to what we originally thought i think this may have been due to numbers attending.

Us and our friends (16 in total) spent New Year at The Barns. We all had a great time. The food, service and entertainment was excellent.
