Agree very much with previous guests. The B&B is greatly overpriced. The rooms look ok when you go in, but you soon see where important corners are cut. The mattresses are uncomfortable, the pillows and quilts are in desperate need of replacing, along with the sofa s laughingly called children's beds - wouldn't put my dog on it ! Breakfast... More

Our daughter and son in law chose to have their wedding at this venue after much discussion about the negative comments on this site. All I can say is that they points raised were totally unfounded. From the moment we arrived on the Friday it was a perfect weekend. The staff were polite, helpful and nothing was too much trouble.... More

Having hunted high and low for the perfect wedding venue we stumbled across the Great Tythe Barn and thought it looked wonderful, then we read trip advisor. However, we decided to make our own minds up by visiting the venue. We questioned the owner and staff about the negative comments and checked the accommodation out for ourselves. We could not...

The facts: - 50% of people have rated this establishment either poor or terrible ! - It is ranked 14 / 14 of venues in Tetbury by TA You would have thought that if you really cared about your clients and were in anyway interested in their feedback things would have changed by now. The management comments on reviews but... More

We are very sorry that you did enjoy your stay and did not like the room. As we have previously said, we are a very small company and do not have the staffing capacity to have a member of staff waiting around the clock, the check in system is explained on the bottom of the booking confirmation and we have...

We recently stayed here as a friend was holding there 40th ther. As far as the party went it was great but don't stay in the accommodation. It is extremely over priced for what it is. We paid £120 for the nigh for a family room. No bath to bath my young son in. The breakfast we expected full English... More

Dear Pippa First of all I would like to apologies for the delay in responding to your review. Thank you for the positive comments on the party and the venue I heard it was a brilliant night. I am afraid that we have never offered a full English breakfast; as such we only advertise that there will be a continental... More

I find it very difficult to understand this view. I created this complex over a number of years and as a licencee holder. I am required to be present on site, but actually take no part in the proceedings. As this gentleman was only attending a wedding, not staying this reviewis doubly mysterious. Any chance of meeting this person -... More

We recently stayed in one of the cottages as part of a wedding party. We had a fantastic time and there was much that was positive about this venue. The setting is wonderful and the fact that guests can be accommodated in the same establishment as the actual wedding service is a real plus. The food at the reception was... More

We recently had our wedding at the Great Tythe Barn. We and many of our friends and family stayed at the venue either in the B&B or in one for the self catering cottages.

We stayed here for one (Saturday) night B&B to attend a nearby family get together. I cannot speak for how this place copes with weddings and their guests but as a B&B it is very mediocre, charging London rates at weekends for something that is not just inferior but actually inadequate. No staff were to be seen on arrival or... More

Thank you for taking your time to write this review. First of all just to make it clear you where in fact in a standard room not a superior room. We are a wedding venue, which is made clear on our website. If anyone asks for a quiet room we are honest enough to say if we have an event... More

I spent an utterly unsatisfactory night in this establishment and it cost me £100. I asked them a week before if I could check in early because for £100 they wanted me to check in at 3pm and to leave at 10 am the next day. Also, I had a wedding to go to that started at 2 in Tetbury... More

I deeply regret Mr Matthews inability to follow our 'Easy' check in system, successfully in operation for at least 10 years. As a B&B/short stay accommodation provider, coupled to a wedding venue we lack the 24 hour back office that hotels have, although we can still read emails remotely. On the day in question all of the keys for the... More
