Barcelo - accommodation in Sherrington

A converted country home of some standing in its heyday . Now repurposed as a hotel Retaining many of its charming features in the reception area and dining area , with quiet and tasteful decor Very attentive and helpful staff , prompt, polite and cheerful with no issue being too much trouble The bedroom conversation in the room we were allocated was a rather unfortunate example of fitting a square peg into the round hole . Whilst generally it seemed to work , the room shape and structure had presented a challenge to the original designer and builder with stud partition walls simply cutting off the ornate plaster friezes of a once much larger and presumably, grand room . A little more investment in the attention to finish could have changed the ambience from functional to impressive. For example, the wc has ended up in such a tight recess as to make its intended function and use an impossibility for anyone of above average proportions The views from our ground floor windows were stunning and we were able to enjoy the rolling countryside from our ground floor room We had asked for ground floor due to limited ability to use stairs and this was indeed provided Facilities in the room are basic and functional with fresh and clean, linen , towels , soaps refreshments placed in the room More tea , coffee etc available on request For the price paid , this represents a good deal and a chance to enjoy a few moments of quiet calm within what was once a substantial home

We had wedding to attend in the cathedral and this hotel is very convenient for the venue

A clean and well positioned hotel made 5 star by the friendly and efficient staff,always willing to help.
