Barnsley House

Wow we stayed here for our mini moon and had booked a beautiful room in the main house. The service was exceptional and we were made to feel at home. The treatments at the spa were just what we needed and we felt so relaxed. The chef created a special vegan menu for us and the food was so fresh and delicious. Well worth a visit and we cannot wait to return. Thank you Emanuel and team

I like Barnsley House - third visit here - but there are some distinct pros and cons. Pros: A) Food is good, best Sunday roast I've found in the UK. B) Nice location - good walking, quintessential Cotswolds C) Gardens are beautiful D) Spa is great. Outdoor pool is a highlight (though it could be slightly hotter), overlooking a farm field. Super nice staff. Cons A) Service in the meal areas needs significant improvement. It's not polished and often felt like I was a child asking for something...I can't tell if they are understaffed, have certain waitstaff who dislike serving guests, or both. Anyway, expect to be rushed and made to feel like you are imposing. For example, they frantically set up lunch places during breakfast - lots of clanging, asking multiple couples to hurry up their meals (not just me) - this was not appropriate and was the final straw for me (there are other instances, but you get the point) B) Vibe is old. Median guest is a 50+ couple on a romantic getaway. Absolutely, nothing wrong with this but you will feel out of place if you are a 30 or even 40 something C) The rooms are now dated and need $ to bring them up to the standard the hotel strives for / as depicted on website. The overall footprint is small compared to other resorts, but it's awkward if you want privacy. Think just a few other couples at dinner and 2 wait staff rushing to take care of everyone with things falling through the cracks. Bottom line - well worth a first visit (I remember absolutely loving it) but after giving this place a few visits, I won't be returning.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Barnsley House Hotel, and I must say it was a truly wonderful experience. From the delicious dinner at "The Boot" restaurant to the exceptional service and the stunning garden, this hotel exceeded all of my expectations. The food at "The Boot" restaurant was a highlight of our visit. Every dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. It was a culinary experience that left a lasting impression, and I highly recommend trying it during your stay. Our room at the Barnsley House Hotel was nothing short of amazing. We were fortunate to stay in a spacious two-floor suite, which gave us plenty of room to relax and unwind. What made our stay even more special was the quick response from Sam, who efficiently arranged an extra bed for us, making our stay as comfortable as possible. The hotel's garden is an absolute gem. It's incredibly beautiful and expansive, and the staff goes to great lengths to maintain it to the highest standards. It's a serene and picturesque place to take a leisurely stroll or simply relax and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. What truly sets the Barnsley House Hotel apart, though, is its staff. They are friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm in their interactions. Their dedication to making your stay exceptional is evident in every aspect of the hotel. In conclusion, I can't recommend the Barnsley House Hotel highly enough. It's a place where you can experience excellent dining, enjoy spacious and comfortable accommodations, and immerse yourself in the beauty of a meticulously maintained garden. I will never regret my decision to visit this remarkable hotel, and I encourage anyone looking for a memorable getaway to do the same. Thank you to the entire team at Barnsley House for making our stay so special.
