The Waring House

The property and room were very dated. Staff at check-in were gruff in manner. Food mediocre in the Barley Room but the atmosphere was fun. Breakfast in Amelia's garden "got lost" althouhh the garden itself was lovely. Very poor value overall.

Excellent place to be with family

Loved the property Very spacious and the staff was extra friendly. Our room was amazing with a hot tub outside the sliding glass door.

Clean, well priced and great view of millenial trail! Really cute little pub

Enjoyed my experience

Our July 2025 stay at the Waring House left a lot to be desired. We have tried to contact the property privately to resolve our concerns but haven’t heard back despite 3 attempts to contact the property. Upon arrival, we were greeted by unenthusiastic reception staff. Despite branding itself as a “resort” we quickly realized it was anything but. The staff were confused when we requested ice because there was no ice maker in our building or fridge in our room. We felt like we were an inconvenience the few times we requested assistance. We immediately noticed our room in the House Next Door building was damp and musty, with the carpets feeling wet to the touch. The curtains had dust and dirt fall from them when we moved them. The charming and quaint rooms we saw in photos in reality are dated and dingy. The bedding didn’t fit the beds properly which resulted in the mattress pads pulling up and exposing the mattress. Housekeeping barely attempted to make up the beds on our second morning, with the bedding tossed on the bed and the mattress still visible with no effort made to actually make the bed. The bathroom desperately needed a deep cleaning, with urine and dust on the toilet paper holder and built up dust in the vent. The restaurant staff were the friendliest we met on the property, with Heather and Izzy being attentive and made our stay memorable. We would not return to the Waring House and caution other travellers who are considering booking this property.

Staff were friendly and the Barley Mow Pub is charming but the place has seen better days. Breakfast was a fiasco as they lost both our order and also that of another couple. The tattooed staff were not well organized and seemed more interested in cracking jokes than providing proper service. Don’t order the corned beef hash.

Loved the look of the house

We booked a suite for 2 adults and 1 child however no bed provided for our child. When we asked front desk for assistance they were hostile and said we don't have any bed or cots available and did not apologize. When we kindly reminded them we booked for 3 ppl they said you booked with a third party so it's not our issue. Generally unhelpful staff. Also the next morning there were couple of small roaches in our bathroom which was quite disturbing.

Went for my wife's birthday. Grounds are nice but a lot of walking between our building and the restaurants. We are both getting on and the steep stairs to the second floor were quite formidable. The pub and main restaurant the food was excellent in both but the service was pleasant but very slow.
