Clean and comfortable. The condition let it down a little, e.g. badly damaged headboard, it would be easy to replace. Also the rooms are in the car park and cars are right outside the downstairs roomsâ windows. With an eye mask I got a good nights sleep and the pub is lovely, people friendly and the breakfast is very good.
The Barleycorn is situated in the middle of a village, and it was lovely to listen to the wood pigeons burbling/cooing through the window. The rooms are not above the pub, but behind, and consequently quiet; ours was nicely furnished and the bed/mattress comfy. The owners are enthusiastic and welcoming. The main disadvantage to the location concerns traffic, such as Macdonald's lorries, that seems to race along the road:
it makes finding somewhere to safely walk the dogs a little challenging. We needed a location that was close to Ludgershall, and Collingbourne Kingston was convenient.
However we were able to check in early, the reception wasn't very friendly. No further information about breakfast or any other e.g. regarding wifi (which wasn't available in in the end)
The headboard of the bed had stains on and cobwebs were present in the bathroom.
When it came to Sunday morning breakfast was only available till 9.30am which is a little early and, would we have known, would have attended.
All in all not a great experience and not a great advert..
My husband, my 9 month old baby and I stayed at The Barleycorn for one night due to a relatives birthday in the area. The room we had was excellent, spacious and clean.
Not a negative - just one thing, our room didnât have a kettle (it had a lovely posh coffee machine - which wouldnât be an issue for most people), and I had planned on making my babyâs bottles fresh in the morning which I then couldnât do. Iâm sure if Iâd have asked for freshly boiled water from the owners theyâd have given me some but we were on a tight schedule and didnât have time. Breakfast was delicious and the owners were generous in letting us check out when we needed to.
Delightful country pub-restaurant. Great friendly personal service, spotlessly clean, lovely comfortable room with everything you need. Highly recommended. Canât wait until the rest. AndâŠthe TV was properly tuned and screen quality was superbâŠfull English breakfast lovelyâŠ
