Barnsley House

Beautiful historical garden that you can wander if you go for Afternoon tea (fancy tea). Recommend the Pimm’s along with tea. A lovely tea treat. FYI, there is a quite pungent barnyard smell outside. Still special.

I like Barnsley House - third visit here - but there are some distinct pros and cons.Pros:A) Food is good, best Sunday roast I've found in the UK.B) Nice location - good walking, quintessential CotswoldsC) Gardens are beautifulD) Spa is great. Outdoor pool is a highlight (though it could be slightly hotter), overlooking a farm field. Super nice staff.ConsA) Service in the meal areas needs significant improvement. It's not polished and often felt like I was a child asking for something...I can't tell if they are understaffed, have certain waitstaff who dislike serving guests, or both. Anyway, expect to be rushed and made to feel like you are imposing. For example, they frantically set up lunch places during breakfast - lots of clanging, asking multiple couples to hurry up their meals (not just me) - this was not appropriate and was the final straw for me (there are other instances, but you get the point)B) Vibe is old. Median guest is a 50+ couple on a romantic getaway. Absolutely, nothing wrong with this but you will feel out of place if you are a 30 or even 40 somethingC) The rooms are now dated and need $ to bring them up to the standard the hotel strives for / as depicted on website. The overall footprint is small compared to other resorts, but it's awkward if you want privacy. Think just a few other couples at dinner and 2 wait staff rushing to take care of everyone with things falling through the cracks.Bottom line - well worth a first visit (I remember absolutely loving it) but after giving this place a few visits, I won't be returning.

Wow we stayed here for our mini moon and had booked a beautiful room in the main house. The service was exceptional and we were made to feel at home. The treatments at the spa were just what we needed and we felt so relaxed. The chef created a special vegan menu for us and the food was so fresh and delicious. Well worth a visit and we cannot wait to return. Thank you Emanuel and team

The best kindness I have received from the staff so far. During the trip, I was fortunate to encounter a flat tire on the rental car on a road near the hotel, and thanks to the warmth and proactive assistance of all the staff, the situation was resolved. I hope to stay for an extended period someday and experience a level of comfort that surpasses even my own home, thanks to your exceptional hospitality.

Had a lovely time at Barnsley House, specifically for an afternoon tea. We were very impressed with the property and house, especially the vegetable garden in the very back. It is definitely worth taking some time before or after your tea for a bit of a stroll. The afternoon tea was delightful and all the bits and bobs were very delicious, especially the scones. The staff was very pleasant and prompt! A wonderful place to visit!

This place is beautiful! The staff was amazing and the food was fantastic. Everyone made us feel at home and went above and beyond for us! We loved our stay and hope to make it back again.

A perfect day at Barnsley House. Book your afternoon tea. Arrive early for a stroll through the beautiful gardens. Ask one of the exceptional hosts (see photo) to help you decide which of their thirty gins is perfect for your sip and stroll drink. After your walk return to the dining room or terrace for a lovely afternoon tea. The team is engaging and attentive without being intrusive.

Simply incredible.You arrive and are welcomed by the friendly reception team. You then led to the room that was already ready! Super quick!The rooms are outstanding, one of the best we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in a lot of hotels in the cotsworlds! Vaulted ceiling and super comfy beds finished with outstanding views across the the gardens.The spa facilities were beautiful and the staff were super friendly and hot drinks facilities (nice touch) were maintained throughout the day. It is a very relaxed atmosphere what is nice. Towels and gowns available in beautiful wicker baskets for you help yourself too. The spa facilities are very elegant throughout and the outdoor pool is large and outstanding! What I loved about the spa is there is plenty of room for everyone and it is all spaced out.We had lunch in the lounge by the open fires surrounded by the Christmas decorations that we learnt that some are made from their garden in the summer time,left to dry out then the flower is sprayed. How outstanding is that? They have really thought about finishing touches and keeping things local and within old english.The hotel has lanterns at night time around the hotel that are candle lit adding the most beautiful atmosphere. There are torches on the side if wish to go walking at night! they have thought of everything to make it a fantastic stay.Of course If you need anything further JUST ASK the team are always happy to help we found and will deal with your request very quickly and efficiently.Last of all the restaurant is elegantly finished and is very sophisticated. We really liked the style. Simple but stunning. Food was exceptional and the waiter was fantastic! Very friendly and knew his stuff!(very knowledgeable), he was very efficient but very friendly and approachable. He could not do enough for us and we felt so looked after in fact we would say he serviced us to Michelin star level.Overall as I said I have stayed in a lot of hotels but Barnsley house has set the bar high! The House is outstanding and the rooms exceptional. The team running this hotel are at the top of their game. We were lucky to meet the manager Emanuele who is a true hotelier who is very hands on in the running of the hotel and is exceptional at making his guests experience the very best.Thank you for having us and we will be back. Cannot recommend highly enough so go and give BARNSLEY HOUSE a try and you will not be disappointed.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Barnsley House Hotel, and I must say it was a truly wonderful experience. From the delicious dinner at The Boot" restaurant to the exceptional service and the stunning garden

Took my mum here for her 70th. She loved it. Staff were excellent and food was delicious. A perfect evening. Thank you.
