Barton hall is well presented, reasonably well staffed and a pleasant place to stay.
Avoid the restaurant at all costs though, helpful junior staff that need more training and attention to detail. We ate there on our first night because although pricey they have an AA rosette and so we assumed quality would be good. We were shown to our table half an hour late having waited an hour for a booking slot, we were acidicly informed that they were busy (although many tables were empty). The starters were ok but my main (lambs liver) was supposed to be medium rare and was very well done. I sent it back and they took half an hour to produce another which was equally over cooked. We were hungry having been travelling all day and so my wife ate her meal which was adequate enough if a little over (sea bream £28). I sent my second inedible main back and by then had lost my appetite…. The lady restaurant manager, Eastern European at a guess was brusque and downright rude, I requested obviously that I would not be paying for my main and that my wife should equally not pay for hers because she ate alone and I missed out completely. The manager refused outright and to save too much of a scene my wife agree to pay for hers.
We are elsewhere for the other two evenings and can absolutely recommend the Snooty Fox which is 10 mins drive away, excellent service and amazing food :)
In summary, a nice but overpriced hotel but avoid the restaurant or indeed try it at your peril.
