Barley MOW

We treated the family to a meal before Christmas. Usually it is good but tonight the vegetables were so over cooked there was nothing left of them & the sprouts were virtually raw?? Presentation was poor. Very disappointed & it cost me a lot of money. We did comment on the meal but they were not bothered.

Staff are largely very helpful and the rooms are comfy but during our 3 night stay there are a few little niggles: 1. TV wasn't working (no firestick plugged in so not unexpected!) which meant we had to change room after one night. Staff were really good moving us but it was a foreseen issue. 2. We came back 10.30pm one night and the pub being in darkness. We were a bit concerned as there is no phone signal so we couldn't phone the pub. We finally found a way in up the fire escape. This could and should have been communicated to us when we booked in. 3. The beds weren't turned down or tea/biscuits restocked. 4. On our last night (tonight) we had to wait to be served with drinks whilst bar staff finished their conversation. We're not moaners but we paid handsomely to stay here over Halloween and the above would have made a nice visit even better. We're checking out tomorrow.
