Reception very appealing, as is the bar and restaurant. What a shock when you get to your room. I had the misfortune to have a single room. Cold tap didn't work, the room was badly in need of decoration and was extremely noisy. This hotel has some new rooms which are pricey. Unless you book anything other than a standard... more

Have used the Barn before and not been impressed but needed somwehere to stay in a hurry and handy for the tube - proximity to Ruislip station must be why people stay there. Person on reception was really quite unwelcoming, almost surley. This time had a ground floor room at far end of garden. Got soaked in the rain while... more

Like other reviwers I was taken in by the website pictures,looks good but the reality is different.The good bits,well, the reception area was quite nice and so was the bar area.The bad bits,we were directed to our rooms across the courtyard,looks good but on opening the outside door to get to the rooms you are met with a disgustingly filthy... more

I will preface with saying I wasn't paying for this trip but I did select the hotel on the basis of the cunningly lit website pictures featuring the new Lodge. It was only one night and, sensibly, I called the hotel before and ensured I had a ground floor double room. A colleague and I had a simple sandwich lunch... more

We had seen the lovely photographs on the website and thought what a great hotel!!!. As we had stayed at a fantastic hotel over the weekend the comparison could not have been more obvious. Reception was fine .OK. We were given our key and directed to a first floor room at the far end of the grounds. What can I... more

Cramped, pokey, shabby and smelly.............. but enough of the staff. I'm sure you'd rather hear about the rooms. Where to start? I've experienced the Barn Hotel many times over the last six years (with a two year break) because my employers insisted on using it when I/we are in the area. At first there were only the old rooms and... more

My company sent me here, although I stayed in the new part which is more spacious than the old bit, nothing worked, the TV was contolled by a combination of controllers, the WiFi (£10 for 24hrs!) didnt work in the room, nor did the ethernet cable, even the door took 3 attempts with different keys to work, by the end... more

I was horrified when this hotel was booked for me and I read the reviews, however the truth was really not bad. I was in Sherley's Barn and as I opened the door with trepidation, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was large and the bathroom was modern and clean. OK, there were a few niggles, had I had my... more

After a long drive of 5 hours I looked forward to staying in this comfortable 'boutique' hotel. Big tip: Do not believe the photos on the website. The reception area was impressive and the bar looked spacious. On collecting my keys I was directed to a sort of converted stable block area out the back; first problem - if you... more
