What guests are saying
Thank you - Very comfortable, clean and attractive accommodation – Beautiful homely decor with very thoughtful finishing touches to make it feel very welcoming.
Well equipped - It had everything we needed and we loved our three night stay here. We were four friends in the property so it was nice and spacious for us and we each had our own room. The games room was great with the table tennis ( I was glad I brought our own bats!) and the pool table. The welcome basket was appreciated – milk eggs wine bread biscuits and some tea and coffee . We enjoyed a day at the National Memorial Arboretum and Lichfield city centre. Originally it would have been quite rural but now it has houses right by it and they are still being developed. (google maps of the drive doesn’t yet show this! And image 51 on the website is incorrect now). There is a huge amount of housing development in the area and the studio just opposite the dining room window had a lot of coming and going at times although it didn’t bother us – Infact we quite enjoyed looking at the people doing their various exercise classes! A few minor maintenance issues which we updated the owner on. I would strongly recommend this property if you want to stay in the area and have a car but less good if you just want a quiet rural retreat.
We were very disappointed with our stay at The Haybarn on two counts; Firstly, The Haybarn is overlooked by the busy exercise studio that is located directly opposite.
There were cars coming and going from first thing in the morning until well into the evening. Parents who were dropping off their children lingered to chat - directly outside our dining area. We had to keep curtains closed at breakfast and from early evening. This is definitely not a restful property. Secondly, the condition of the soft furnishings, the bedding, the towels etc was poor. Various items were stained, old, tough-textured and bedding and towels were mismatched and well past their prime. One of our party said that it was like staying at your nanna’s - and not in a good way. We never met the owners and I’m sure they are lovely people but the whole house needs a refresh and an update. This was an expensive weekend and we left feeling deeply underwhelmed. We cannot understand how all the reviews are so positive - this experience has made us suspicious about booking properties in the future.
Absolutely amazing property, we couldn't fault it and will definitely be back.
Would highly recommend.
