“Excellent B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

Upper Barns is a real gem whether you're in this part of Essex for a wedding or for business.

The standard is very high and a lot of effort has been put in, I would say it is more boutique hotel than B&B. So it is worth the extra few quid over the usual run of the mill pub style B&B.

We had a great stay and would certainly come back for a longer weekend.

So do yourself a favour and book this place.

Room Tip: Red Lion in nearby village is good for a evening meal.

“A perfect B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

Stayed after a wedding reception and was blown away; wonderful service, a beautiful room and excellent food. You couldn't ask for more welcoming hosts either.

All in all an absolute treat.

“Fantastic barn conversion with great B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2010

Upper Barns is great for an overnight stay, I would have liked to have stayed longer. It's a lovely barn conversion in pretty gardens, on the edge of the village but in a very quiet location with private parking. Our room was very clean and fresh, country style and very comfortable, with tea-making, TV etc. We had a private bathroom just next door, so lots of space. Breakfat was excellent with cereals and fresh fruit salad, jugs of juice (not just a teeny glass), and then a full English with endless tea/coffee & toast. Diana and Ashley are lovely welcoming hosts, and if you like your art then you might like to buy one of Ashley's paintings while you're there. Excellent value for money.
