Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The building was beautiful inside and out (Barlaston has always been a special place for me). The food was excellent and all the staff were great.
Negative: The room we stayed in was right above the main entrance and that heavy door was really loud when it shut. There was an event on during the first night so the door was constantly opening and closing. Not as much of an issue during the second night though so this was the only negative experience.
Summary: Excellent experience. Would definitely stay again.
