Barnett Hill Hotel

Pros Coordinator – our wedding coordinator was brilliant from the start; Liz was great in communicating, understanding our needs and providing flexibility and attention to detail to planning. Liz made sure we were consulted every step of the way, was quick at getting back to us, made us feel like everything was in hand and taken care of. The final details were handled well and Liz ensured the team was fully briefed for the big day. Team - the staff did a fantastic job setting up the venue. We provided certain decorations ourselves and the staff did a great job decorating to exact requirements. The operations manager, Lajos, was our coordinator on the day. We were very impressed with him. Lajos was at the venue late the night before and present for the entire wedding day. He checked in on us at every step, without overwhelming us and really made the day flow smoothly and stress free. Everyone knew their roles, the day was well orchestrated and if there were issues on the day, we didn’t know about it. Very happy with Lajos and the team. Hotel – the rooms were beautifully made, especially the honeymoon suite that overlooks the rear of the hotel and the gardens. It made the day even more special. The hotel grounds were immaculate and every guest commended on how beautiful the grounds were. Food – the taster menu was arranged 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding. We made suggestions to the menu and were happy with how the food came out on the wedding day. The canapés, wedding breakfast and evening buffet were delicious, beautifully presented, and the breakfast the following day was superb. Cons Dance Floor - the room allocated to evening dancing, is required to have a proper dance floor, roughly £600. No other venue we visited required a dance floor. Overall, we were given the best possible wedding day.

Christmas Eve 2024. Unfortunately, we experienced a flat tire on our rental at Stonehenge. UK has a similar service like “ AAA”. Luckily, we were tolled to our hotel. We were so famished, haven’t eaten and tired and simply wanted some little bites (not a full meal). The night receptionist desk gal said there was absolutely no food they could service. Now, they did have booked dinner service for Christmas Eve, BUT like I said, we did not want a full meal. This establishment could not even serve a basket of bread!!! ***. We finally went to the bar ordered some drinks and decided to order Ubereats. Given it was very late, we were lucky to have food sent to the lobby. I swear to god this was surreal for a place like this. Inexcusable for paying a full price hotel room, they call this service??? The night receptionist treated us like we inconvenienced her simply by trying to get something to eat even after we explained to her we did not have a functioning car to go anywhere. Again, all we asked for was some bread.

We recently hired the lovely drawing room for afternoon tea to celebrate my mums 80th birthday.. the hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas so had a wonderful festive vibe.. our afternoon tea was nice enough & although there were a couple of minor hiccups throughout the afternoon, we were lucky enough to have been assigned the lovely Leah to look after us. Leah was extremely friendly & efficient, Nothing was too much trouble & her input certainly helped make our celebration more enjoyable.. A great representative for the hotel..

Thank you all for a fantastic two night stay. All staff were welcoming and a special thanks to Bronwyn who couldn't do enough for us. We stumbled across the hotel by accident and were pleasantly surprised. If they were to add a Spa/wellness space that would be the icing on the cake!

Lovely grounds but internal decor could be improved - dreadful, out of place artwork in the dining room. Staff tried hard but need better training. Starter was too cold to taste properly - still partially frozen. Roast beef came as two thick grey slabs, low quality meat, or if decent quality very poorly cooked. Most pubs would do much better. Roast potatoes and yorkshire pudding were soft and soggy. My wife ordered roast chicken but was presented with chicken and chips. Comments to the hotel manager via the website have gone unanswered.
