Response from Ger on May 20, 2024
I am sorry that you did not enjoy your stay however I need to correct you in that we did not try to charge you for the breakfast that you booked on arrival and later cancelled. We advertise widely that we have no TVs, it is also noted on the booking confirmation email that you should have received. Many guests find this to be part of the old world charm that they enjoy about Barnabrow. I am also sorry that you did not appreciate the brand new 5* mattresses, the refurbished (in 2024) bathrooms, the complimentary nespresso coffee and the complimentary bottled water. Many guests appreciate the easy access to the outdoors via your bedroom door - they also enjoy the friendly Pygmy goats nearby and the placid donkeys - as something different. And all for a payment of 49 per person !

The property was set in the country and had a nice outward appearance. The staff did contact us a couple of times for our estimated arrival time and we told her both times the same thing. When we arrived there had been torrential rains and we were frozen. The room was cold and the woman at reception told us that the room would have heat but she wasn’t exactly sure when. There was a small electric heater we could control but the hot water radiators were out of our control. We closed the windows and went to dinner to wait for the heat. When we came back it had begun to warm up. The room was large. The rug and couch were stained and worn. The bed and pillows were hard and lumpy. The sheets were not very good quality. There was a kettle, tea, and coffee. The room smelled a bit of hay and reminded me a bit of a barn. Since we couldn’t control the heat the room got stifling hot, then chilly again in the early morning hours and then stifling again. I cannot recommend this property for a hotel stay.

Picturesque Old Estate
The venue was delightful - a beautiful old estate. Picturesque setting; the room was comfortable and clean; quiet countryside location outside of town; great price. I would definitely stay here again.

The location is great. Parking not near rooms and cars driving past my room woke me late and early. It would be good if you could get some soup at night when the weather is bleak. Otherwise the places recommended to drive to were great. First pub on list is permanently closed though. Fleet of young Ladies serving were lovely. Breakfast was good. As was lunch. Thank you, I loved the decor.

Nice room (no TV however). Brand new conversion. The main house was surrounded by other dwellings that are part of the overall property. Not a great setting

Lovely hotel and grounds. It was a bit remote, you can't really walk to food - it's around 2 kms I guess which is fine, but that road is narrow and people drive fast on it. Easy to miss the turn into it - lots of "Barnabow" places on the road nearby. The goats and donkeys are fun. Room was a bit small.

Bed was Ok. A problem with the shower, either cold or very hot water, could not get the water temp right. No dinner or breakfast available when we stayed. Car park was a long way from the room. No TV, slow internet (was not 20 Meg as advertised). Poor mobile coverage.
