My wife and I stayed here for a special occasion. The superior room was a good size with a comfortable bed and settee. However, it was in need of redecoration and would you believe it, you could not switch off the light when you were in bed! The evening meal was good but 4 courses took 3 hours. There were... More

Many thanks for taking the time to write this review. It is always difficult with anonymous reviews to ascertain the root of any issues. All of our bedrooms should have the facility to turn lights off from the bed, unless you are referring to a lamp which may have been on an individual switch. We always endeavour to ensure appropriate... More

I have just completed a three night event with 73 members at this lovely country hotel. The hotel has a warm friendly feel as soon as you arrive. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and when the sun is shining the central courtyard is a perfect suntrap. The rooms are all clean and tidy with individual furnishing. The... More

I booked this hotel two days before travelling as our original choice hotel had to cancel our booking due to a burst pipe in the ceiling of our chosen room. I managed to get a fairly good deal on the usual price, as I wouldn't have booked it otherwise. I stayed with my fiance and we took our two small... More

Just returned from a three night stay at the Barnsdale Lodge, booked via LateRooms.com. We had a double room (not superior) in the annexe overlooking the courtyard on the first floor (No. 41) which was quite private and not overlooked. The hotel accepts dogs and I had requested a non-pet room which I assume No 41 was as there was... More
