Beautiful setting. I went for the spa, set slightly apart from the main building, you take a short meandering path through beautiful spring flowers. The spa is as you would hope, tranquil, extremely relaxing and for someone like myself on a very tight budget, pure decadence and escapism from the 'real world'. Theresa gave me my two treatments, back and neck massage followed by a session of reflexology she is excellent, very knowledgeable of her career, not just about the massage but the body itself.
I've been for several massages at various places, none have given a decent hard massage when requested. Theresa on the other hand gets deep into the muscles, pushing out the knotty tension. The foot treatment too, was a revelation and deeply relaxing. I digress, I didn't go inside the house itself but spoke to an overnight patron who was extremely pleased with the entire experience of her stay. Thoroughly recommend.

Have been here many times over the years. The food and service have always been excellent. Barnsley house is a beautiful old building with plenty of parking. I seem to come here when it is dark so can't comment on the garden area. But the little I have seen is well cared for. A final comment on the staff they are faultless. Will continue to visit here.

We had dinner at the Potager restaurant. The food was great, as always. Unfortunately the service fell flat on this occasion, and we were left slightly disappointed with the experience. Service was generally slow and clumsy. We were served another table's starters. A member of staff's mobile phone ringing loudly on multiple occasions during service, and having to ask for our table to be cleared when dishes were left after our main courses.
When you are paying a discretionary 30 service charge, I would expect a much higher standard of dining. Having dined here many times before, this is the first time we've had a lukewarm experience, and I hope it was simply an off day. Barnsley House is a beautiful hotel, in quaint grounds, and the restaurant has a wonderful ambience. The food was excellent (I would recommend the rack of lamb, and the fillet of beef), and desserts were also great.

I stayed here for 4 nights in one of the converted out buildings. Beautifully converted into a very comfortable relaxing room with character and luxury. Ate here for breakfast and two evening meals. Also ate in the pub opposite once, which is owned by the same company. Really nice food made from fresh ingredients grown or reared in the grounds. I like good food and it was really delicious.
Lovely atmosphere throughout the hotel and restaurant. Great spa treatment. Had a simple massage but very well done in nice surroundings. Beautiful grounds even in the winter. Very helpful friendly staff. Electric car charging in car park. Would definitely go back if in the area.

The food quality was woefully disappointing. I ve had better breakfasts and dinners in my local cafe.! Hotel is adorable and the Manager doing his best to deliver the promised expectation. Farm activity or maybe deliveries woke me up both mornings. So I left more tired than I arrived. In these difficult times don't want to complain But . .
