“Not so good this time”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

Have visited the Barn several times and never been dissapointed. However this time not so good. We decided to upgrade to a superior room the room in Sherleys Farm building did look very nice. However there was no mirror in the bedroom, so had to use the bathroom one and the bathroom was freezing cold it had secondary double glazing but that had been removed and the only heat was a towel radiator. Then in the night all the heating went off on one of the coldest nights of the year and we were frozen.
Things got worse at breakfast ordered breakfast the waited 30 minutes for it to come and it ws so dried up sent it back. Waitress did not even say sorry, after another long wait it arrived again and was still just as dried up gave up then as did'nt want another long wait. Complained on check out and receptionist was very apologetic and refunded the room upgrade. She then called the restaurant manager who wrote all our complaints on the back of his hand!!!! However he did say sorry and offered us afternoon tea if we go back, lets hope he transfered the information from his hand to a note pad so he remembers what he promised. Despite these problems we will return to The Barn as it is the ideal place for us to stay when visiting our Son, and when things go well it is a nice hotel.

“Disappointed on arrival.............:(”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

This place was recommended to us however when we arrived we were offended by the remarks made by the gentleman at reception. We left the part of the 'passport details' blank on the registration card and the gentleman still asked if we had our passport. He said it was a legal requirement which we are aware of if you have travelled from abroad. My husband said he has his driving license whereas I had caught on that because my husband was wearing a Turban he thought we were foreigners. Then I told him we had come from Harrogate and booked online.....so instead of apologising for his remarks he went on to say 'Oh Harrogate! well you can imagne how many people we get considering how near we are to Heathrow airport.' I was so miffed with his explanation that I was speechless.
Surely, you would then think that if your business is dominated by Heathrow airport you have been trained not to discriminate and ask the question in a way not to offend the guest !!This is a clear discrimination on the Turban because my brother in law who doesn't wear a Turban was not asked or treated the same way we were.
I'm not sure whether the failure lies with the management or this particular individual but whoever it lies with, it needs immediate attention. This is an insult and it doesn't matter how lovely and comfortable the Hotel was we will always remember how we were greeted on arrival.

I phoned both the gentleman and his wife and thanked them for their comments and for taking the time to discuss them with me.

We have an international clientele who come from all corners of the globe and a multi racial, multi cultural workforce. As fellow hoteliers this couple will be aware of the legal requirements on check in but I fully accept that this was poorly handled on this occasion. We have never had an incident of this kind before nor have there been any complaints of racism against the member of staff concerned.

I have apologised to the couple both personally and in writing and the member of staff has been given additional training in check in procedures.

“nice hotel, near to rail network”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

We had a one night stay in this hotel 2 weeks ago. It was a very nice room, though a tad small to walk about in. The bathroom looked newly fitted and was spotless. The room was decorated lovely and had a comfortable bed. The breakfast was varied an served at the table, except for the continental breakfast which you helpe yourself to. We would stay there again with no complaints.

“Handy location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

This had seen mixed reviews and must admit location (just off main West Rd) was contentious but proved an eye-opener.Lovely setting almost semi-rural.i was in the main out-building which looked very impressive.However,it was the smallest room I have ever stayed in and the walls were wafer thin..every noise conveyed!Entrance through the french windows was novel!Room very clean,new, and well finished but so,so small.
Check in was excellent -welcoming and friendly.The bar and restaurant very period and characterful.
Would i stay here again...maybe but not in the same part of the hotel!!

Room Tip: Not via the French windows!!!!

“Beautifully refurbished and helpful, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

We made a group booking for some rooms and a small function. Very impressed with the hotel itself and the staff who made us feel very welcome. We were in the new section and had a director's room - as we needed the beds with young children. Extremely spacious and fantastic bathroom! Waitress service hot breakfast is very nice. Good value for money.
