Came away for a relaxing night with the other half. Paid 170 for one night with evening meal and breakfast. Accommodation was basic, room was incorrectly advertised as an extra large bed when it was just a standard double. Went in the spa which was okay before our evening meal. Waited a while for the food, which was good when it arrived. Had main meal and then there was a power cut. It lasted 2.5 hours and the staff didn't know what to do so most went and stood outside leaving all guests indoors.
No service after that until you asked and no apologies or remuneration when checking out despite not receiving our deserts the night before. Some people didn't even have their mains and were offered sandwiches an hour or so into the power cut. I appreciate that this couldn't have been avoided but the service could and should have been better. All in all, quite disappointed

Just had a fabulous 2 night stay and had the pleasure of being the first guests to stay in the brand new executive rooms, room 3 is just stunning. Done to a very high standard and very modern. The most comfortable bed ive ever slept in, fantastic air conditioning system that also operates heat and a humidifier so you can set the room temp to suit. Spacious bedroom, fabulous selection of nespresso pods and bottled water, tea and coffee.
Air dryer provided is actually pretty good. The bathroom is tastefully done, again bright and modern with a large shower. We have thouroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit. Thank you to Andrea and her team who have ensured we had a wonderful restful weekend.

Stayed 2 nights for my daughters wedding yesterday, fantastic day, food was great as were the staff throughout the day and at breakfast, thank you Gary the night duty Manager for allowing us to continue our celebrations long after the disco had ended enabling a much needed catch up that covid has denied us these past few years. Well done Barton Manor.
