The highlight of this hotel has to be the rooms. I got a room that is due to be renovated soon and I struggled to work out why, it was really well decorated and appointed, and very spacious. The bathroom was small but still very nice. The only thing holding this place back is the service in the restaurant. Quite... more

Stayed at the Abbots Barton for one night on business & found the stay very enjoyable. Set back from the main road the hotel offers a tranquil stay - plenty of parking good service & friendly staff. Food and service good, clean linen napkins & tablecoths with fresh flowers & candles on the table for dinner As with most Best... more

Stayed at this hotel as part of a large number of a wedding party (around 40 people). The furnishings and facilities are pretty standard for this level and type of hotel, although nothing was particularly good either. The reception staff who checked us in and all the bar staff were great but otherwise not particularly impressed. At the reception the... more

Abbots Barton is a nice hotel, lovely grounds good staff. but if your planning a 'do' there, think very carefully. My wife and I attended a 'goodbye' party for some very senior school staff. there were a hundred and fifty people there and we had a great time. the company and speeches were superb, as befits a very special occasion.... more

Stayed here for our daughter's graduation and thought the building looked pretty good from the outside. But the beds were diabolical - it was like sleeping on a table. I have never felt a bed like it and I like firm mattresses. We were there for 2 nights so were both crippled by the end of it. If you stay... more

The approach to the hotel is a good start, through attractive grounds, with a view of the original old house and its turrets and a new extension which fits in well with the old. Further extensions to provide more conference and leisure facilities are in progress. Parking is good, allowing cars to be left here to walk 10 minutes into... more

We spent two nights at the Abbots Barton and it suited us very well. The hotel is in quite a grand Victorian building which was renovated a few years ago and our room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The Abbots Barton stands in its own grounds away from the main road, so it was quiet despite being only a... more

Excellent service from the moment we checked in (2 hours early - no problem). The hotel is nicely decorated in a suitable historical theme, without being over the top. Room 203 was a bit on the small size, with a view over the back of the hotel. But as we didn't intend spending a lot of time hanging around in... more

My husband and I attended a wedding at the Abbots Barton and were completely blown away by how amazing everything was from start to finish - the function rooms, the grounds, the meal, the staff; Everything! Our room was in the original building and was beautifully decorated, the food for both the wedding and the breakfast were so good we... more
