Excellent breakfast, freshly cooked and good quality.

Lovely food, clean and comfortable.
Very comfortable venue with good food. Ideal location for an overnight stop en route from Kent to West Wales. Would stay here again.
Nothing to report.
I have stayed at The Old Barn on a number of occasions.. The service and accommodation cannot be faulted and the menu has a wide range of delicious choices to suit all guests.
Very friendly staff and dinner and breakfast was very nice (and hot) which makes a nice change .
Overall property was great . Would definitely stay again
Large comfortable room , ceiling fan was lovely
Bath could do with a grip to help with getting in and out as very deep
It was amazing all the food was wonderful breakfast buffet was very nice dinner was very tasty and well cooked room was very comfortable plenty of tea and coffee in the room nice big fan to keep the room cool.
Nothing best hotel I’ve ever stayed in.
Great service, beautiful location.

all went well
My brothers wake was held here so it was the location that made me choose it so glad I did x
Absolutely nothing x
The staff are very friendly and helpful. We like the bar meals and breakfast. This was our second stay, so we chose to return.
The en-suite looked a little tired with mouldy tiles.
Grande chambre bien isolée. Vue sur la cour du parking qui est grand et gratuit. Restaurant et aussi un bar dans lequel nous avons diné est. Bon et large lit. De superbes fleurs agrémentent le pourtour de l'auberge.
Very traditional breakfast, beautiful buildings, ample parking. No aircon but multiple fans did the trick
Again, quite traditional, might not be right for those who want something more modern.
Loved the location, food and staff, all very friendly.
Friendly and helpful staff good breakfast .Excellent evening meal in their restaurant which we used every night.Good value for money.Very hot weather during our stay so the ceiling fan in our room was a welcome bonus.Quiet location and good size car park.
We were in room 7 and the only fault was a loose tap on the wash basin.

Beautiful room, quiet location, friendly staff, delicious food
Having rooms at a venue you’re attending is good. Although no fridge in room, they did put my dietary requirement milk into a fridge for me
The bathroom sink needs updating and the toilet seat moved every time you sat down
It was ok. Not 4 star though
Tied in places
It has a very calming atmosphere
Nice inn. Staff were lovely. So was the food. Clean, comfortable rooms with a good shower. No air conditioning but there was a very effective ceiling fan, which we utilised during the hot humid 3 days of our visit.
Hotel could use a little TLC ... maybe with investment in air conditioning, as hot humid spells are only going to become more frequent. Our bedroom had the ceiling fan, but the bar/lounge area was uncomfortably hot.

Nice place to stay with easy parking, friendly staff and a good restaurant.
The room was clean. We ate in the restaurant on all three evenings. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. The breakfast was good and you had a little list to tick for bacon, sausage, mushroom etc.
I didn't like the unwelcoming corridor that you had to walk along to get to the rooms in the annexe. But once you were in your room it was fine.
Really enjoyed my stay at the Old Barn Inn. Easy and friendly check-in, nice bedroom, great location, excellent breakfast. And although we didn't have time to be outside, the garden looked lovely too.
Location
A little surprized to find our room along a short corridor, in a separate building to the main area. However, it was very secure and easy to find. The room was spacious with natural light. We enjoyed our evening meal, the staff were attentive, friendly and very professional. Breakfast was lovely, the lady in the breakfast was also very pleasant and hard working.
Another one or two options for vegetarians in the restaurant would be a good addition. Although my curry dish was lovely, perhaps some indication of how spicey it was would also be good.
Het voelde een beetje aan als een motel zoals je het ziet in Amerikaanse films. Een pub met een incheck balie en een lang los staand blok met kamers. Niet echt een hotel gevoel. Meer een kroeg waar je kan blijven slapen. Niks was echt slecht, maar er was ook niks waarvan je zegt, YES.
Room was spacious and very clean. Staff were friendly. Plenty of parking. Breakfast was excellent.
Wifi was a bit unpredictable
Bed and bathroom really comfortable and clean. Bar was good and Breakfast was really enjoyable.
My wife found her sweet chilli prawn pasta Main too sweet to finish, and I found my Hunters Chicken Main too overcooked to finish as I couldn’t even cut it with my knife.
Very clean
Nothing to say about it very well looked after staff is amazing
Very cute and comfortable.
The overall was excellent as we had travelled a long way to see family. Breakfast was fantastic so overall a lovely stay. Thankyou

Good spacious bedrooms. Plenty of car parking. Friendly staff.
Constant noise of the M 4. Uninspiring breakfast.
Comfortable; delightful decor; 'family-owned' feel; lovely staff
Not applicable. I liked everything.
Eine sehr gute Küche. Abendessen und Frühstück waren herausragend gut. Sehr praktisch waren die Parkplätze direkt am Haus. Zu loben ist auch das sehf freundliche und hilfsbereite Personal. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverältnis.
Fehlanzeige 😀
Lovely place junior suite was excellent and food was amazing can't thank them enough
It was all fab no complaints
La situation géographique, au calme. Parking gratuit. Restaurant correct.
Breakfast servi à l'assiette. Pas de buffet, peu de variété, dommage.
Rooms were fairly clean and tidy, the food was delicious in the restaurant
All OK
Property was clean but tired the room was extremely hot.
Very noisy floorboards heard other guests all night walking in rooms and corridors until 11.30 at night. Also food option on a Sunday finishes at 5pm.
Friendly welcome, good service and ample portions of decent food both in restaurant and for breakfast. Bedrooms reasonably well furnished, clean and functional.
Separate bedroom block a bit forbidding and lacking in character.
Very clean and the bed was very comfy. Breakfast was lovely, plenty of choice and staff were very friendly
Unfortunately, no fault of the hotel, we had very selfish, noisy guests above us, arguing in the early hours, so our sleep was very disturbed
The room was very spacious, and the ensuite was large and well fitted out. The rooms are securely located in a seperate wing with card access. The breakfast was good.
The only grievance was they have overhead lights over the bed, but can be left off.
Lovely setting very quiet. Room was perfect for us.
Plastic flowers everywhere in the bar/restaurant.
Abendessen und Frühstück gut, großer Parkplatz
Das Zimmer ist in die Jahre gekommen
The staff were all lovely, polite and friendly, the food was delicious and plentiful
The room was too hot making it an uncomfortable night for sleeping and the fridge was loud.
Great breakfasts and good sized room.
The pictures showed pretty and quaint.the location was ok.
The rooms were basic pictures were deceiving. Not clean or fresh we were very disappointed. Advertised as a 4 star . No way ...
Easy to find plenty of parking
Very loud walls are very thin
Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Nice quiet location

Rooms looking a little tired but still comfortable
Food, accommodation, service, cleanliness and pricing was superb 👌. Well done and thank you, to the team!
13.5 years ago we had our wedding reception at The Old Barn and we stayed in the Penhow Suite. We have had many meals there are we are local, but this was our first time returning to stay in the Suite and it was stunning. We had a warm welcome, wonderful food, and lovely stay.
We loved everything!
The whole ambiance of the hotel and restaurant including staff and seevice inc food was excellent

Basic room. Thin duvet. Food is not good .
Friendly staff, great location and quality food.
This is my second stay and I will definitely return. All facilities are excellent and the Sunday roast that I had was delicious. The staff were all very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
We hadden een kamer op de begane grond. In een apart bijgebouw. Dat was prettig met het in-en uitpakken van de auto. De kamer was aangenaam van temperatuur (we waren er tijden een koude periode). Veel parkeerruimte. Kamer is royaal. Goed verlicht. Theekistje is goed gevuld.
Ontbijt was goed, maar wat kaal. Presentatie kan beter. Gehorig; we hoorden de geluiden boven ons heel goed. Kamer is netjes, maar wel gedateerd. Er is een bad, maar daar moet je ook in douchen.

food was fine - good value for money
Second visit here and it was a great stay. Staff were lovely, and breakfast was great.
It's a shame there isn't a coffee machine. Only filter coffee which I'm not a fan of.
The evening meal and the breakfast were very, very good. It was so nice to order breakfast and have it freshly cooked and served to us. The ambience and the friendliness of the staff were very important to us. Perhaps the lady who was at reception on our arrival and who greeted and served us our breakfast deserves a special mention.
Everything was perfect. Ooh, maybe not so much chorizo in the chicken and chorizo bake.
