hot tub in the swimming pool could have been warmer!! and a constructive criticism rather than a complaint would be that there is no shower gel in the pool area shower and no towel hook.

last minute booking due to cancellation of room at previously booked hotel ( by another hotel group), room was listed as a single ( last room at hotel) but was a small double which was a pleasant surprise, food very good with portions which were enough without being overfaced or still hungry . Bar prices were competitive for a 4* hotel. Breakfast was good but only plain yoghurt available in a bowl rather than individual flavoured pots but i understand that this is happening in many hotels to reduce waste.

Have stayed at the Castle a few times now, but on both occasion have found the shower to be very unsatisfactory & does not meet up to the standards of a lovey venue. Would recommend to remove the bath & put in a proper shower cubicle with a thermostatic controlled pressure shower. When you are staying at a place like Barney Castle, the least you would expect would be a decent shower.

The whole Castle experience was amazing & the location. Staff are amazing, lovely place for a break.

We were very disappointed with our room. We appreciate that we have a dog and that they certain rooms for pets but the room was small, the bed was a basic double and not that comfortable, the air extractor fan wasn't working in the bathroom. Not what we expected from such a grand hotel and what we paid for our 2 nights.

Staff were excellent - professional, helpful and pleasant Lovely walks and grounds. Excellent breakfast.

It is a bit in need of an upgrade.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. The hotel is beautiful and the grounds are stunning.

Service at dinner could have been a bit quicker and felt a bit disorganised. Noise of disco from wedding a nuisance. Facilities at swimming pool could be better - no private changing and floors of changing rooms were filthy.

Food outstanding and reasonably priced. For most part, staff were friendly and efficient. The gentleman on reception was exceptional. Location was beautiful. Polish map of Scotland was an excellent bonus.

Stayed in room 101 which was very comfortable but it was very noisy. You can hear everyone passing as the floor outside squeaks and there seemed to be a door you could hear banging each time someone passed (a fire door maybe). The floor in this room was very squeaky aswell (even in the bathroom) so when getting up in the middle of the night it was hard to be quiet.

Lovely breakfast lots of choice, food very nice and lots of places to relax.

Although the room was clean, it still looked a bit dirty because of old smudges on the carpet and chair. When you stepped into the bathroom you had to be careful because of sharp screws in the floor.

The people who worked there were very friendly. We also went to the restaurant where they served nice food. In the morning we had a breakfast (everything was available) but for people who do not like dogs be aware that dogs are allowed at breakfast.

Wish there had been a walk in shower as my sister who is disabled with a walking stick couldn't get into Bath for shower plus the room was a t the end of corridor room 120 which was a fair distance to walk for her

The original room we had was a bit small, shabby and dated but more importantly was next to the lift so we asked to upgrade. The suite had no bottled water which was a bit odd. We were told to buy it from the bar (the suite upgrade wasn't cheap so bottled water would have been nice included). We were woke at 5.30 by the milkman delivering, and then the laundry van shortly after. Our suite was the front of the hotel and we had to shut the windows as people were outside talking and smoking before 7am which wasn't ideal, the smell was wafting into our room. As lovely as the staff were and the hotel was, it was a shame. The hotel, in places was also in need of some tlc.

The location was fabulous, the hotel communal areas were very nicely presented. The staff were so lovely and friendly (Janette and Ryan were lovely on reception) , they couldn't do enough for us. The food was very good. We upgraded our room to the Eddleston suite which was fabulous, just idyllic.

The bedrooms are a little tired and two people need two chairs. It was also very very warm at night which kept us awake. More English language leaflets about the Polish map maybe available in the hotel so they don't get rain damaged. If they were available we didn't see them.

The staff were all lovely and welcoming especially in the restaurant on Monday night and at reception o Tuesday morning. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxing. We had a lovely walk in the grounds. We knew about the polish map but not the walk down to the altar which was beautiful.

The access road probably could do with some attention.
