The Barton Reviews

Alan
This property has the wow factor as soon as you walk through the door , a wonderful flow into every room . Spacious and character in abundance. The 2 acres it sits in is stunning, and with a river that flows within the property, is so calming. There's so much to do with a huge hot tub that's to die for. Snooker table , games room and kota hut whichRead more we loved . The views from every window in the property blew me away , and one thing I desperately wanted to take home with me, Hide
Claire
A stunning house and gardens in a beautiful location. The house was luxurious and extremely well equipped. We felt very pampered. The hot tub was amazing with robes and slippers for every member of our party. Plenty of space for three generations and loads of activities to keep everyone happy.
Lynn
The Barton was a fantastic house in which our family of 10 spent a week over Christmas. The rooms were very spacious with lots of added facilities like the hot tub, Kota House, playroom and dog shower. Absolutely ideal for the 3 generation get together. Location was very pretty too. We think our best Christmas holiday ever.
