Many thanks for taking the time to write this review regarding your recent stay at Barnsdale Lodge. The wedding this Saturday was held in our Barn Suite - whilst the guests enjoyed reception drinks in the courtyard, they then moved through to our Barn Suite (a separate building on the opposite side to the main reception and restaurant) at 4pm,...

Barnsdale Lodge is a family owned hotel located in a 300 year old farm in the middle of picturesque, English countryside. The hotel is furnished in a style of old countryside house, with small rooms (I found their size as a little bit too small), some of them with fireplaces and a very nice restaurant set across a few comfy...

Have just had a family reunion at Barnsdale Lodge - 11 adults, 2 teenagers, 5 children and one dog. From the moment of my initial enquiry several months ago to checking out yesterday the staff could not have been more helpful. The rooms with the various bed combinations were excellent, the meals and service faultless. Am looking forward to a... More

We have just returned from a short break at the Barnsdale Lodge.It was our second trip, the previous one being 2 years ago. The service is really very good, every member of staff that we encountered from the chambermaids, who gave a cheery good morning, to the restaurant manager who wanted to know if we had enjoyed our meal, spoke...

As a regular business guest at Barnsdale Lodge I continue to be impressed by this place & the excellent service I receive. From the warm friendly welcome, to the quaint character bedrooms situated around the picturesque courtyard & delicious food, beautifully prepared & served to order in the airy conservatory or the traditional dining rooms.

Booked as a last minute country escape and we thoroughly enjoyed it and would have stayed longer had a room been available. This is the sort of place that I don't want to review in case I can't get in next time I want to stay! We had a fairly small double but it was cosy clean and comfortable. I... More

Mother-in-Law's 80th birthday celebrations, went really well. Well looked after by the staff, whole room for dinner to ourselves. Beautifully served food, I tried the bream and would recommend it wholeheartedly. Room superbly clean, very dog friendly establishment ~ dogs have their own beds and bowls supplied!

Stayed one night as a spontaneous "getaway". Welcoming lady on reception when we arrived and pleasant room with lots of nice touches- eg. real coffee in room, info about weather forecast for the next day. Dinner was lovely, if a little overpriced. We asked for a portion of green vegetables to go with our meals and were a bit disappointed... More

Went for afternoon tea today and ended up on a sofa in the middle of furniture removal and table laying rather than in a dining area away from the drinkers. My sandwich was very average though my companions said their scones and cream were excellent. Our daughter kindly took us and I felt a bit let down.

Situated a short stroll from the north shore of Rutland Water, Barnsdale Lodge is beautifully located. Built in local stone and set in very well attended grounds and gardens it is a lovely place to spend some time and explore the local countryside and lake. Bikes/wellies etc can be borrowed for exploring. The rooms are kept spotlessly clean and many... More
