Positive: Did not have breakfast as leaving early in the morning. However, my stay was incredible, from the 4 poster bed to the cavernous bathroom. The room was spotless and the attention to detail was outstanding. Would I stay again - YES!!
Negative: Nothing but if I'm being picky air conditioning or at least the ability to open the window in the room. For some strange reason I was unable to open it. Like I said, I'm only being picky.
Summary: Incredible stay at Barberstown.....nothing more to be said
