“Barnett Hill Hotel presents a curious mix; the grounds undoubtedly impress, hinting at an upscale experience which the interiors don't consistently deliver. While aspects of the service shine, particularly in the bar, some operational hiccups detract from the overall stay. Its potential as a wedding venue seems stronger than its appeal for a luxury getaway.”

immaculate lawns beautiful house big bath tub small room black out blinds included breakfast
i appreciated the immaculate lawns and the beautiful house. we were all, and my dogs were well catered for. i especially liked the lovely room, it had a big bath tub and temple spa products.
we weren't informed that breakfast wasn't included in our stay. the room was also small, i thought. there were no black out blinds and it was very bright at 5 am.

limited menu tired room
I found issue with several aspects. The dinner menu was unavailable because there was few guests. We received a bottle of wine as compensation. It did not negate that the inconvenience was due to poor planning. Our Cosy Double Room needed a refresh and I would not rate it four stars.

Wonderful Countryside Escape

peaceful setting excellent service
The hotel grounds were picturesque, I found the setting beautiful and peaceful, especially since it is set back from the main road. The staff were always friendly, I really appreciated their helpfulness. I thought Lajos and Zsolt provided amazing service, their care and attention to detail were excellent.
During check out, there was an issue with our gift voucher, I felt slightly embarrassed by the situation. This matter required nearly an hour to resolve, I found it quite inconvenient. The initial confusion regarding payment put a damper on an otherwise good visit.
