Barnsley Vacation Rentals

"Really lovely motel with lots of thoughtful touches to make the stay comfortable. The shower was incredible, like a therapy session in itself. We were less impressed by the adjoining diner. The food missed the mark a bit, although the restaurant itself and the ambience was good."

"Disappointed that for what you pay and area that it’s in you don’t even get coffee in the room. Very poor "

"Nice hotel, decent pool and sauna experience, if a little dated. Some of the check-in staff acts as if they're the most important person around,. They didn't have full booking details (Expedia) and I had to find my original emails to prove that I had paid for breakfast. Felt as if they're unimpressed with my Expedia "deal" and almost frowned upon. The rest of the staff - no issues, professional and polite."

"Very nice stay, great choice for breakfasts, one of the best I've seen, would definitely go again."

"Very nice and comfortable , staff were very pleasant"

"Breakfast menu was quite lean on the cold/continental menu but had varied with the hot food. Could do better with the continental breakfast section. Take note that parking isn’t free or complimentary."

" Great facilities"

"Pillows were unsuitable and we had a stiff neck. Dinner was not to my taste"

"We stayed as a small family during the Easter holidays, mainly to use the pool and spa facilities, with the hotel’s proximity to Gloucester Docks (around 2.5 km) also a key reason for booking. Overall, the experience was mixed. On arrival, our room had issues—most notably the shower. The bath–shower mixer tap diverter didn’t work, and water pressure was extremely poor, to the point even a bath was just a trickle. At £120 midweek (without breakfast), this didn’t feel good overall value. That said, the sole reception staff member was excellent. After a couple of prompts, and while clearly managing the desk alone, he moved us to a suite around 9pm, resolving the issue before bedtime. He also explained the water system is quite old, which may account for the pressure. The pool and spa were clean and functional—the sauna and steam room were up to temperature, and the gym well equipped—but overall felt dated and didn’t match expectations set by the price and photos. We didn’t use the restaurant/bar on the evening or for breakfast- there were no evident menus beyond an A4 printout, and pricing felt high; it was empty whenever we walked past. More generally, the hotel doesn’t match the polished Expedia photos. It looked dated, and even after the room change, the amenities and bedding were below expectations, particularly compared to Premier Inn. In summary, excellent staff, but the property and value for money unfortunately fell short"
