Waldegrave Barn Reviews

We had a lovely stay here. We literally booked at 9.30am on Monday morning to arrive at 3pm that day and the house was ready for us clean, tidy and warm. On the first night, we had a few issues with the lights and we thought there may have been an error code on the hot tub. The owners arrived within 10 minutes and sorted everything for us it was just a lightbulb and no concerns with the hot tub. Before we arrived, we were concerned about possible building works next door which had led to a previous bad review but Sykes contacted the owners who said the works had finished. Day one was fine but we could hear some works on day two. These did not bother us though as they werent very loud and could only be heard when we were out in the garden but the owner popped across with a bottle of wine to apologise we had not mentioned the noise to the owner at all. This was quite unnecessary but was a really lovely gesture considering the owners could do nothing about it. The house was a really good size and the utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer was super handy. The front room was really spacious and the three sofas gave us ample room to spread out. We loved the large kitchen table it set the scene for a dramatic game of Farmopoly the boys loved the alternate version of Monopoly and the other games left for us. All in all, we would highly recommend Waldegrave Barn.

Think was over priced due to work that was going on nearby should have been ... Think was over priced due to work that was going on nearby should have been informed as we wouldnt have booked There was constant awful chemical smells causing headaches feeling sick had to go out and about due to this on a number of occasions as could even smell indoors we live in a city and went for piece and quiet and it was like living next door to a building sites as there was constant noise and traffic ftom early in a morning next door prob outside of control but there could have been a warning as we wouldnt have booked Furniture in sitting room should be cleaned very dirty and sone if hot tub jets didnt work overall everything felt a bit tired Although property could be beautiful and area is lovely if there had been no building work going on
We had an absolutely fantastic holiday. The swimming pool and hot tub were a huge success with all the family especially the grandchildren. The barn even though spacious has a lovely cosy feel.
Well what can I say what an absolutely fantastic holiday. The accommodation was lovely and the swimming pool was perfect. The previous remarks from another user are completely pathetic. Obviously there is certain things you have to do but you would have to do these if you were in your own home!! I loved netting the pool in the morning very relaxing. Thank you so much we will be back
Sykes were terrible and never ever got back to me on my requests. The pool was cold, owner said it was the weather? Never heard anything like that. The only reason we booked the place was for the pool. We want some kind of compensation. House had more spiders than the film arachnophobia! Wasn't really clean, pool area looked very tired. The owners were lovely but think they need to think about what they are doing.
We had the most amazing stay at Waldegrave Barn. The property was stunning. The pool & hot tub exactly as described & photographed. The house was clean, beds comfortable & great showers. Wonderful location. It was absolutely perfect & I cant think of anything to fault it. Looking forward to coming back. Thank you to the hosts for providing such a wonderful property.
