John was very friendly and helpful. Lovely large quirky house 🤩
If I found anything it would be that the floors needed a good hoover & clean throughout

We came to this property at very short notice having been double booked at another nearby and the host was able to sort us out and get us into two rooms very quickly.
Croissants in the morning brill too!

Great location for us, as we were able to walk to the festival we were going to on the Saturday. Only a short drive to Clacton and surrounding areas. Room was spacious with a lovely balcony. Hosts were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.
Not much really, the grounds needed some work to make the setting even better (grass desperately needed a cut). Although breakfast was lovely, just think some yogurts need to be added to the menu. Other than that, our breakfast was really nice.

The location was perfect for us to stay after a wedding nearby.
The breakfast was delicious, so many cereals to choose from, beautifully ripe fruit, toast to perfection. We wished we could have stayed longer.
There was nothing to dislike everything was perfect and suited us perfectly. We hope to return on another short break in the future but will certainly recommend to our friends and family.

The Continental Breakfast was very good and satisfying.
A good selection of cereals accompanied by a variety of fresh fruit including strawberries and grapes.
We were served by our superb host John with every attention to detail.
Barnfields Retreat is a stunning house set in its own large grounds. The property was a true Retreat free from any noise but within easy reach of the coast.
There was nothing we didn't like, and we look forward to our next visit.

The hosts were really nice and kind and very welcoming. We felt at home straight away as the house gives warm vibes. The view from our room was amazing and was very peaceful
Could do with a bingo fridge in the room

They were very friendly, they had a really lovely cute little dog called minty that we just wanted to take home with us.
The bed was very comfortable, It was lovely and quiet. They have complementary drinks in a mini fridge in the room. Breakfast was lovely. Lots to choose from. We will definitely stay there again.
I can't really think of anything.

Jon and Elizabeth were absolutely lovely hosts and so very welcoming. Without being intrusive in any way, they made you feel like personal guests. Even their little dog, Minty, was adorable. The house itself is just splendid and the breakfast rivaled the best we've had anywhere. It is set in lovely quiet grounds but just 10 mins drive from three lovely seaside resorts. Jon & Elizabeth did all they could to make our stay one we'll remember.

A beautiful BnB set in a beautiful location. The rooms were very homely and comfortable, everything you would need supplied in the room and more available. The hosts John and Elizabeth went above and beyond - very friendly, welcoming, knowledgable and forthcoming. We felt like friends by the end of our stay. We also took our dogs along which was great fun with their lil pooch Minty, all running and playing together in the large garden. The breakfast provided was beautiful. The location was perfect, very close to nearby attractions and pubs. We all agree that we can’t wait to go back later this year.
Nothing to complain about.

good location
2.0
The location was fine, apart from being hard to find when approaching from the Clacton direction (sign only visible from the west).
The room was dated and in want of a thorough clean. Furniture was mismatched. Carpet was dirty and there was a stain on the wall. Dust on furniture & surfaces. Shower glass needed a good clean. Impossible to sleep due to noise from another room. Breakfast was poor, considering the amount paid.
