Heather Vacations from $1,159

We had a wonderful stay. The room size was very good and everything worked. The lift was unusable so we were re-allocated a room on the ground floor. The food was excellent. We enjoyed a delicious evening meal, a fabulous high tea and two excellent breakfasts. All members of staff were very helpful and friendly.

The barn is decent overall, but a few things let it down. I've stayed there about six times over the last year as it's in a good stopover location for a drive I do regularly. The pool is decent, the bar is nice and they've invested in the lounge area, which is a nice space. The main restaurant for breakfast is very tired and needs updating. It's also a bit of a room lottery. Some of the rooms can be pretty bleak. They gave me 404 last week, which was particularly soviet. Walls are bashed, nothing comforting about being in there. For £120 excl breakfast I wonder if they're pushing it a bit now in terms of what justifies the price. Staff on the whole are great and the location is fab. Just worth having expectations in the right place before choosing.
