10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay at the Barrington Arms. The room above the pub was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing night away. The bed was very comfortable, and despite being above a busy pub, the room was quiet and we slept really well. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The pub has a lovely atmosphere, and the food and drinks were excellent. Breakfast the next morning was absolutely lovely—fresh, well-cooked, and a great start to the day. It's clear that the team takes pride in providing a high standard of service. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to return. Highly recommended if you're looking for a comfortable room, great hospitality, and a fantastic breakfast.

Hotel very convenient for my needs and the room in the courtyard was. Quiet and clean - however nowhere to hang clothes which was surprising. Even a couple of hooks would have been welcome. Bed extremely comfortable. The staff were very helpful and the freshly cooked to order breakfast very good. There was no food on a Monday so ate at the pub just over the road as recommended and it was delicious.

My room was in the older part of the main pub, and whilst some of the building was ageing, the room was well looked after and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating to all requests. This is a traditional homely hotel and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
