Amazing place - for *all* ages

My wife and I first stayed at Brook Barn last year to celebrate our anniversary, and we loved it so much that we booked the whole house to celebrate my 30th birthday. SJ and Mark were absolutely fantastic and helpful in organising everything - frankly, the reviews saying they don't like young people are complete rubbish. My friends and I (all similarly aged) were afforded every courtesy - SJ bent over backwards to make us welcome and accommodated many of our "off plan" requests.

Brook Barn is different to many hotels in that you feel as if you are visiting old friends, rather than staying in an anonymous room run by an anonymous chain. It's an amazing place, set in an amazing location, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. We will be back! Read More:

Wonderful retreat

Having not been away from our children for many years, this was a spectacular retreat just after Christmas. It was decorated beautifully and the Christmas cake at tea time was very welcome after a quick march up White Horse Hill. We had the Hay Loft suite which is highly recommended and has pretty much every thing you need - including to my delight a decent coffee machine. The library is lovely with a wide range of books and it was fun playing the table trivia game at dinner. The food was stunning and though not cheap is the best value food we have had in years considering the outstanding quality. Just wonderful and we can't wait to go back.

Room Tip: The Hay Loft is huge and has bonus of sky tv over freeview. It is stocked with books and is also near the library. The bath is lovely. Read More:
