This is one of the amazing gems that you can sometimes find in unexpected places. It's full of history, and as one steps into a bedroom one can only feel how everything outside this house dissolves and vanishes - it's the best feeling to have after travelling 5 hours on the train! The breakfast was perfect - probably one of... More

Fantastic food and friendly, welcoming hosts. Room was well equipped with TV, DVD player and refreshments. Festive decorations in the dining room and lovely presentation. Very reasonably priced and would recommend.

I had the pleasure of staying at Barratts recently although, unfortunately, for only one night. From the time of my arrival, everything was perfect. The door was opened by Elvira before I even had a chance to open it myself. A welcome tea was provided immediately, much better than having to make it yourself! The room was spotless, crisp sheets,... More

I have to be honest and say that we could not fault the food, it was really lovely, although quite expensive for what you got. However, the welcome we got was not exactly friendly, on arrival we were seated in a small library with... More

My wife and I enjoyed an absolutely DELICIOUS meal at Barratts last night. All three courses were truly excellent, the service faultless and the atmosphere just fabulous. We have previously been a few times and this was better than ever...I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Thank you to Elvira, David and family. The other guests we chatted with were... More

Superb welcome, room, breakfast and caring touches, on a cold Sunday night in January. Don't consider staying anywhere else.

We had the pleasure of celebrating the New Year in Baratts, as always the food was superb thanks to Davids culenery excellence (their awards speak for themselves!) and their home warming hospitality makes you apart of their beautifull historic place. We thoroughly enjoy our stay and dining experience everytime (15 years now) and would highly recommend this 'little piece of... More

Although the restaurant is not usually open on Mondays, apparently, Elvira and David opened it up for my birthday celebration party of 14. We were not asked to fix the menu ahead of time either, and there was still a wide choice. The food was excellently prepared and served, as we have come to expect from David's skills as gourmet...

I really can't speak highly enough of this absolute gem of a place. Close to the railway station and very easy to find, it was cosy, comfortable and like a home from home. The owners were extremely welcoming and their pride in the place was obvious. The room itself was sizeable and very well furnished. The bed was very comfortable,... More
