The Barton Reviews

Alex
Beautiful location, lovely house, perfect for a relaxing getaway!
Alex Turner
Really enjoyed our trip! Everything from booking to check-out was smooth and the staff were lovely. Thanks!
Martin
We had a lovely week at The Barton. The location is perfect, right next to National Trust woodlandand the grounds are stunning - so much space to relax. The snooker table was a hit with everyoneand the kota hut was perfect for evening chill-outs. The Hunters pub nearby is just a short walk. We'll definitely return!
James
Absolutely loved this place! The gardens are stunning and the house is so cosy, plus that hot tub was a real treat. We had an amazing time and can't wait to come back next year. Only downside is the school holiday prices are sky-high-pretty frustrating! Everything from the welcome pack to the facilities was spot on, truly the best holiday home we've stayed in.
George
From the moment we stepped inside, we felt the wow factor straight away - the layout makes everything feel so smooth and inviting. The property is really spacious, full of characterand the views from every window are just stunning. We especially loved the two acres of land and the peaceful river running through it - super calming. The hot tub is definitely a highlight, perfect for relaxingand the games room with the snooker table and kota hut kept us entertained. Overall, it's a lovely place we'd happily return to!
Emma
The Barton was perfect for our family of 10 over Christmas. The rooms were huge and well-equipped, with a hot tub, Kota House, playroomand even a dog shower-really thoughtful touches! The location was stunning, making it ideal for our three-generation get-together. Honestly, it's probably our best Christmas holiday ever! We loved it.
