From the moment we checked in we felt comfortable and welcomed. The environment and atmosphere was so pleasant, the cleanliness and comfort added to our relaxation. The food was scrumptious, and we enjoyed the surrounds…
The rooms are stunning. Fabulous size, beautifully clean. The grounds are gorgeous and all the staff were so friendly

Paid when you book, not at the desk.
Rates include the taxes and fees we can read.
The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.
Early check-in at 10 am or late check-out at 2 pm is possible for an extra fee of EUR 20 per person (subject to availability). Please note that the Barton Rooms Restaurant is only open on Friday and Saturday evenings. A deposit may be required at the property.
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
