Stayed for one night only but would have liked a long weekend. A warm welcome to a beautiful property which is so much more than a traditional farmhouse. Our room was large with Superking size bed and elegantly decorated. The breakfast room was lovely, continuing the theme of oak beams and large fireplaces. Breakfast was simple, but with high quality bacon, sausage and egg etc.

Excellent value for money whether double or single occupancy and I really wonder why anyone would choose to stay elsewhere when you can get this quality/price at Barnacle Hall

We spent a magical weekend here in August and I am trying to find another excuse to go back again.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked 2 nights here on business in early July 2010, as my (huge 'Apple' double room suite with separate huge bathroom and corner bath, view out to fields and sheep, fresh milk and delicious chocolate cookies each day) was only £42.00 a night single occupancy, with (a deliciously fresh) cooked breakfast. Only 10 minutes from the Ricoh Arena (but an unfortunate £12 taxi fare to the centre of Coventy if you have to go there), you pass some ugly areas before arriving at the farm and then it's very badly signposted, I had to phone twice to get directions. (They need a big sign on the grass verge nearer the road so you can see it from both directions!)

The owner, Rose, couldn't do enough for you, and is very happy to chat if you are. I felt very comfortable and 'away from it all' here. I'd like to return with my wife and go on some of the walks she recommended! If there was one thing I could improve, (and if they even have the capacity and broadband strength so far out) I'd add Wi-Fi, this might put some people off since they don't have it, and this might allow them to take cards too (she did state this on booking, and pointed that out to me sternly when I said I didn't have any cash) but as I did that a month in advance I'd completely forgotten and had to drive 10 minutes to the nearest Tesco to get cash out on the morning of check-out!)

After staying in a bland American chain 5 star hotel at my previous port of call, Barnacle Hall was nothing less than an utter delight. It is within 10 minutes drive of Coventry city and the Ricoh Arena but well into the peace and quiet of the country. The rooms are large, airy and comfortable as are the lounge and breakfast room which guests have access to and the service is both personal and pleasant. The building itself is quite amazing with original construction dating back well over two centuries.
