The Barrington Guest House

Great place to stay, host were so helpful, central just be aware of parking at weekends

Nice and clean.

Unfortunately the loft, room 10, is a death trap due to the stairs: there is a tiny step at the top, you have to perch on it to unlock the room, if you trip on it, it's 7 steep steps down head first. Handrail stops half way up. At the very least, take the picture down and put a rail at the top. It has its own bathroom, but this is down two flights of stairs, so not greatly accessible. There is an ensuite loo, with a person-sized window with no safety latch, over a three story drop. Velux window, so you can't have the window open and the blind shut. Whole property full of eye-watering air freshners, made me wonder why. Biggest, heaviest cover I ever saw, on a small double bed. Nowhere to hang a towel in the room, only 2 towels, no hand towel, no soap in handbasin. Tiny sample soaps, nowhere to put wet soap. It's alright, I found where everyone else puts it, there were 3 on top of the shower! The whole place is a triumph of style over substance: owner should stop getting excited about how pretty it looks and start making it safe and comfortable.

Good sized room. Pleasant helpful owner. Close to the seafront.

A lovely stay. The room was compact but had everything we needed and the bed was soooooo comfortable! Plenty of tea and coffee too. Think parking could be a bit tricky at certain times of the day. We were quite lucky getting a space outside.
