The Barrington Arms Hotel

I have never been to a place that calls you in the afternoon to say that the bar will be shut due to shortage of staff. So no hot food, no drink.The key was left for us in the room in the outside courtyard. Went out for the evening, on our return, room was cold,radiator and towel rail did not work. As the night progressed my elderly husband put his jumper on due to the cold. Duvet had no warmth at all. At breakfast the cleaner came in and I said that the room had been cold, she said that the radiator does not work neither does the towel .. it’s on the same system.. she inferred that there had been an electric heater but might have been taken but a previous occupant! Thought it was amusing my elderly husband had to sleep in his jumper.. Not the cleanest room I have ever stayed in , used cotton buds under the bin, which I discovered when I needed to put in used tea bags..Bedside light flickered on and off so could not use it. Was not worth the money at all. Would certainly not recommend the place. Screw sticking out of the wall above the bed where picture should be, could be quite dangerous.

We received a warm welcome and were taken to our room, given all the info we needed and the room had all info cards also, we stayed at the barrington suite, the room was a lovely size and the bed was super comfy, only downfall for us here was it was a warm weekend and the main bedroom window didn’t open as the lock on the one side had either snapped off, been taken off the window or was locked, the window was full of cobwebs, bathroom window opened but again same with cobwebs and the shower had signs of mould around the edges but all in all for the price for two nights that included a superb breakfast, free WiFi and free parking we had a lovely weekend stay here for a family wedding and should we be in the area in the future we would certainly stay again.

I had a lovely weekend stay at the Barrington Arms while in the area for a friend's birthday party. I was greeted with a warm welcome, very friendly staff and all the information I needed. The party was in the bar and a great night was had all round!
