Flint Barns, Rathfinny Wine Estate

Lovely location. Comfortable lounge. Friendly staff. Great wine. Bedroom was very cosy but nice for one night.

Very good Bedroom perhaps a little small

The location was quite remote, fine if you are driving less so when walking like I was. Breakfast was great, as was the evening meal. Room was a little small, OK for me travelling alone but would have been a squeeze for 2 people. Room was small for a double

Really lovely area with beautiful scenery, Did a lovely walk, drank good wine, Room all clean and good size. Good drawing room to have your pre drinks in. Beds were quite small

The accommodation is nestled in the Rathfinny wine estate. It has great views and the building looks very well kept. The breakfast was excellent and able to accommodate allergies. The staff were very attentive. The bed was super comfy too. If you have a chance, I would recommend tasting the wine from the shop cellar. There's no need to book the tour (unless you want to see more of the wine making facilities), and they didn't charge us for the tasting. We did buy a bottle of sparkling wine, but there was no pressure to buy. There are also walks you can do around the estate. The room has some obvious design flaws. One issue is the lack of airflow in the building. This is a real shame as it is otherwise stunning. The lack of airflow causes the room to get very hot quite quickly, even for a relatively mild month like March. The bathroom also needs an extractor fan as the steam stayed in the room after a shower, trapping hot condensation in the room and making it even hotter. We did manage to cool the room somewhat by switching off the thermostat and opening the tiny window (apparently the heating in the building is set to warm up to 21 degrees when the temperature drops to 18 degrees, which is still too hot for a good night's sleep). The room was also very small - while this was manageable for a 2 night stay this would have been quite uncomfortable for a longer duration. The luggage we had barely fit in! I also thought it was a lost opportunity for the room to have such a tiny window - the views are lovely and it would been nice to appreciate it from the room. Finally, the road is very bumpy from the tasting room to the accommodation - maintenance is much needed! All that said for the shortcomings, we did have a lovely stay and the staff couldn't do anything about the building design flaws.

Lovely staff The room was a teeny bit small

Very good

Excellent services and food. The standard room is slightly smaller than usual...yet the facilities are all good no venting inside the bathroom

Great location, beautiful buildings I had the France room in the barn. I expected it to be small but I didn’t expect the lack of sound insulation! I could hear every flush of the toilet next door, the run of the water in the basin and heard every conversation. No wonder you provided ear plugs.

Superb

The staff, location, style of property and food was incredible. One of the best breakfast's I have had. Staff on check in were incredibly helpful. Make sure you order a glass of wine too as their wine is incredible! Room was lovely but i definitely think it was on the smaller side which i did not realise when booking. I wouldn't have wanted more than one person in there.

Lovely building beautifully furnished Very nice professional staff Excellent breakfast! peaceful with great views Budget Bedroom very small with double bed against the wall Small windows open onto internal hallway, noise from people passing through with automatic lights going on and off

Beautiful location in the middle of the vineyard, so tranquil. Super cosy room, dinner and breakfast both excellent. Staff were wonderful throughout, at the barns and very knowledgeable for the wine tour and tasting. Will be back! Phone signal is patchy but wonderful if you want to escape from it all!

My single bed room was small, but excellently appointed. Very comfortable with all hotel facilities packed into the small space. A real coffee machine, tea matching facilities with fresh milk and modern shower. The spaceous lounge was furnished with comfortable armchairs and setees with pleasant aspects to the vineyard. The quality of food and presentation, both evening meal and breakfast was the best I've seen in an English country hotel and not bettered since I visited that home of French gastronomy, Toulouse. Prices reasonable considering the quality of the food. Am planning my next visit to include a tour of the winery. Being placed on a table next to the kitchen door. 25 minute wait for breakfast second course.
