We stayed 2 nights with our dog during a tour of the Rutland area and further afield. We were really impressed by the hotel - great location, friendly and helpful staff, lovely walks locally, well maintained facilities, lots of spaces for chilling out, lovely food and welcoming of our dog in all locations. We had a lovely stay and this hotel is high on our list for a return, perhaps without our dog so we can use the spa facilities! The only slight negatives were that the room looked a little tired (we understand that there's a major refurb on the way) but it was perfectly fine and perhaps now is the time to get a good price before the refurb! And, a small gripe, the lovely breakfast was spoiled by having to make our own toast using two toasters that couldn't brown both sides of the bread at the same time (I spend many minutes standing around with others trying to get a decent slice to go with my eggs) - a minor but irritating annoyance. But overall a fantastic stay, thank you.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay . Staff were so attentive and friendly, the setting is gorgeous and the food was excellent. The outdoor pool and hot tubs are an added bonus . Thoroughly recommended
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this great hotel in beautiful surroundings. We have no criticisms to make. The staff were all courteous and attentive, the room was spotless and the food as good as any high class restaurant. We hope to stay there again.
Such a beautiful hotel, with a warm welcome from the reception desk. Little things which make you feel welcome. The room was gorgeous, with amazing views where you can just relax. Food was excellent with great service. Will definitely be staying here again and trying out the spa.
The Barnsdale hotel is in a lovely and convenient setting with ample parking.
The Sydnet spa is great and the pool was wonderful for an afternoon cool down. Plus super cute Highland cows!
Breakfast and dinner is wonderful in the beautiful courtyard.
The Barnsdale is an old building which means the lack of air conditioning was a challenge during the heatwave.
The power shower remains a mystery why anyone thought this was a good choice to install!
Room was a good size but sadly the cleaning and maintenance were not up to scratch. The spa facilities are lovely and breakfast good in the lovely orangery.
