A lovely stay at the Barrington Arms. Attentive and friendly staff with a well appointed room with everything we wanted, including lots of milk portions which often seems to be skimped on in other hotels. The room was quiet and comfortable, and the breakfast was of a high quality. Overall, very good value and i wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Room was clean but hot, due to the weather, but no air con. Bathroom spacious and clean. Full English breakfast was delicious and filling. Friendly staff at all times. Could do with tidying up around the back, bins and old metalwork etc. But the front was very pretty. We will stay there again and highly recommend it.

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.
