This place is beautiful. I used to go here all the times a kid, traveling from chepstow. The food is a blessing and the environment is absolutely outstanding. The chocolate cake (if still served) is ELITE by the way. Part of my Dad's funeral was even held here. Please visit this place!

Went here for mother's day Sunday lunch. The food was really good and really tasty. Very nice. I feel that more could be done to learn about non-binary/non-conforming/beyond the binary folk such as myself and make them feel that more understood, included, catered for, respected, etc I'm not here to slander or be defamatory, I'm not making any accusations at all. This is my personal perspective and opinions. I think nowadays you don't need to have "ladies" and "gents" worded signs for the loos, but I'm not suggesting unisex toilet space either. Just lose the worded signs. The manager came across aa uncomfortable when I offered my constructive intended feedback before leaving, I could be wrong I just worry easily about making people feel that way it's never my intention. Would be nice to offer a 2 course option as a minimum for occasions such as mother's day as well as the 3 course option not have it as "guests booking agree to the 3 course menu" it's not all about making your lives easier only (NOT an accusation, but that's a suspicion of mine) and perhaps more dairy free/VE dessert options. But overall I enjoyed my visit here, I'd return again if my mum and dad wanted to come here particularly for occasions. Thank you for the good food and relatively decent service.

The Old Barn is my local bar restaurant. The food and drinks are lovely. A good range of food on both early bird and a la carte menus. I love the lasagne and cottage pie. Sunday roasts are great. The staff are friendly and offer a warm welcome especially Sian.

We attended a friend's wake at The old Barn and the food was delicious. A good selection of breads, coleslaw and mixed salad bowls, fresh and smoked salmon, prawns, selection of sliced beef, ham and turkey. Minted potatoes. Waiting staff attentive. The food was that nice and fresh we priced up for Sunday lunch. £13.95 for 1 meat or £16.95 for 2 meats. The desert cabinet looked well stocked. The everyday menu looked very good value as well. There is disabled parking only a couple of spaces though. Less mobile guests can get in the restaurant via a ramp. The old barn has rooms but we didn't look around those so can't comment, and we didn't use the toilets so again can't comment. Easy access for the M4, if you want to break up a long journey or attending local concerts at Newport or Cardiff. Would highly recommend the food.

Been there for dinner a few times over a few years. The building is really nice, well kept and clean. The staff are polite but the food I've had both times isn't great, average and considering the location and how nice the venue is it's the only thing that stands out. Pricing is fair, would happily pay more for higher quality food. Never stayed in the hotel/rooms so I can't comment on any of that.

SHOCKING FOOD - Reheated, stale old Roast Dinner! Extremely Disappointed Christmas Meal Experience I recently dined at this establishment with my elderly parents on the 9th of December for a Christmas meal, and I must say it was an experience I'd rather forget. We opted for the festive menu, expecting a delightful meal, but unfortunately, it was anything but that. To put it bluntly, the roast dinner we received was the worst I've ever had. It was painfully obvious that the food had been reheated. The potatoes were hard, and the Yorkshire puddings were undeniably stale. The gravy was a gloopy mess, flavorless, and quite frankly, it tasted like something of cheap and inferior quality. Now, here's the part that truly disappointed me. We had traveled a grueling three hours, halfway to meet our family for an important get-together, a six hour round trip! Despite our dissatisfaction with the meal, we chose not to complain on the spot as my elderly parents were already upset. They simply wanted to enjoy our time together, especially considering we won't be seeing them on Christmas Day. However, the following morning, I decided to email the management to share our feedback and express our disappointment. To my astonishment, their response was far from satisfactory. They essentially brushed off our concerns, suggesting that because we didn't complain during the meal, we must have been content and were now having a change of heart. This response was not only dismissive but also frustrating. I went a step further and called the manager to discuss the matter. Unfortunately, this conversation only added to my disappointment. The manager insisted that the food had been freshly prepared that day, despite clear evidence to the contrary. I even attached photos of the potatoes we received, which were unmistakably reheated and far from freshly prepared. What's more, I've since come across other reviews from patrons who had similar experiences with reheated Christmas meals at this establishment. It seems our experience was not isolated. When you go out for a Christmas meal, you expect fresh, high-quality dishes, not food that has been reheated, with hardened potatoes and stale Yorkshire puddings. Even the starters were disappointing, with limp lettuce and browning leaves in the prawn cocktail, indicating food that was prepared well in advance. This experience was so disappointing that I've taken a step I've never taken before—I will be initiating a chargeback for this meal. The manager's assertion that our failure to complain on the spot somehow invalidated our concerns is both disappointing and concerning. In conclusion, I feel compelled to share my experience to caution others. If you're considering booking a meal at this establishment, I strongly advise against it. Our experience left us feeling that our money was wasted on a cheap, reheated meal that did not meet our expectations.

We stayed at the Old Barn Inn during October for 1 night . The Hotel looks extremely inviting from the outside a very attractive building with a very large car park and although the hotel and restaurant seemed busy there were still parking spaces . The reception staff were friendly and welcoming ,our room was larger than we expected and nicely appointed and clean and the beds were very comfortable. In the corridor the lamp and table etc needed dusting and there were a few cobwebs hopefully just a one off or maybes the hotel is understaffed as so many places are now but it wasn’t enough to stop me from staying as our room was fine . We stayed for our evening meal and we were served by young Peter who was an absolute joy he was extremely friendly and made us laugh which made the evening ! he maintained professionalism and was extremely attentive with extra drinks etc . We ordered the surf and turf which turned out to be huge and was extremely tasty ! my son and husband ordered the pork which they felt was over done but we had such a lovely evening we did not want to mention it and spoil the evening. We also had a free cooked breakfast the following morning which was nice . I have worked in hospitality and customer service for many years and wouldn’t hesitate to employ Peter ,a real asset to the restaurant and we wish him well for the future! Many thanks to the staff at the Old Barn Inn

The restaurant was busy with an event so should not have taken our booking for 7! We waited at least 10 minutes at the table with no one approaching, we had to go up and ask for a menu. When waitress finally came to the table she mentioned that they were very busy and we asked if the kitchen could cope as they were so busy. Her response was “ well I don’t cook it” . Food good but dessert menu took 30 minutes after finishing main course to arrive and then 15-20 minutes to take order so we ordered to take away. There was no sign of any waiting staff during this period. When we left without paying any tip the waitress shouted after us “ thank you very much” we have not been here for a couple of years and will wait at least another couple of years before returning. The service here was a zero out of 5! Worst we’ve had in any restaurant in the last year or so.

We went for lunch today 24th March at 12 noon I have been a regular diner for over 25 years and I have to admit I was very disappointed with the food for the 1st time ever I love my steak and ale pie and regularly recommend it to friends and family however this time instead of juicy tender chunks of meat it was sliced and chewy with 3 large pieces of fat/gristle in it it was as if the meat was sliced off a previously cooked joint of beef and reheated/cooked again like I said this was the 1st time ever that I have had a bad meal

I have had several very good meals at the old barn. I would have recommended it to most people for the bar good atmosphere and surroundings. I have called for a drink and met with friends for Christmas meals or just as a couple. However having begun to think of it as my local and favourite venue I have been turned away now on two occasions due to being told that"the whole place has been taken over for a function "This has resulted in my returning to another favourite the rock and fountain nearby. I believe that they need to decide what they want to be. Surely they should not be turning locals away. I will give serious consideration to visiting again.

You guessed it - not only did this heartless, ruthless, mean patron REFUSE to refund us the value of a week’s food on the table, but a week later text to ask us most delightfully (cos she didn’t really know or care who we are as long as we were to grease her palm) to pop in and see her in order to decide on our menu and decorations for our ‘special’ day.

Have been to the Old Barn many times over the years and for lunch more recently with colleagues. Took a stroll over on Bank Holiday Monday evening and was pleasantly surprised at the ambience, service and food quality. Ordered steaks which were very nice and cooked as requested. Pepper sauce was 5 star and very peppery! Ordered the side dish roasted vegetables which included sweet potatoes, leaks, courgettes so didn't need the sweet potato fries and onion rings that also came with the steak! Both really enjoyed our meals. Prices are at the higher end of pub food at £20 + sauce for fillet. As some other reviews have suggested; its not posh there and the staff are local and fairly relaxed about life but so friendly.

Used the Old Barn as midway point to have a look around the coast. It’s in the country although you can see and hear the motorway depending on wind direction for light noise. Excellent breakfast and good value evening meals especially the Early Bird menu before 7:00 pm. We had an upstairs room which was a good size, there is a very very short outside walk to the restaurant/ pub area. Not so much a Pub area except for bar stools more for eating although no problem just having a drink.

This pub had been a favourite of ours for a long time but it is not what it once was. The decor is starting to look tired, as are the staff. We went there on a Sunday evening. All the tables had reserved signs on them so we nearly left but the barman said we could sit anywhere. And that was repeated, over and over again as more people came in. It seemed that only one of the tables had actually been reserved that evening. The staff were seemed to shuffle their way around as if they didn't want to be there. When our starters were brought out, mine was handed to me across the table instead of the waitress coming around to my side. This was repeated with the main course and when the dishes were cleared. Add this to the waiter asking my husband "have you finished, Bud", it was not appreciated. The food was lovely and hot but the lack lustre attitude was very off-putting and I don't think we will be returning.

Although all the tables in the bar area were full and the staff were extremely busy, a table for 8 was put together in the hotel restaurant and we enjoyed a first class meal. All the staff were extremely friendly, the standard of food was excellent, service was perfectly timed while both drinks and food were reasonably priced.

Popped in today with my Mum, husband and 3 year old this afternoon. Staff were busy but very accommodating, even though there was a wedding at the venue all were very attentive. We were really impressed having recently moved to the area from Bristol and looking for new local spots that are family friendly but do not compromise on providing a tasteful experience for dining or a casual drink. Having only ordered some starters to share with a bottle of (very decent!) wine on this occasion but we will definitely return to work through the menu. I also loved the idea of some of the private dining spaces they had there for some upcoming family gatherings, all in all I'd say it was a really good find..

Paramos aquí por una noche de camino más al sur. El hotel era bastante tranquilo, que era preciosa y hacían el desayuno en la mañana una delicia. Nuestra habitación era cómoda y la temperatura a la derecha. Comimos en el restaurante esa noche, y la comida estaba bien, era un poco más mi carne cocida, sin embargo, era bastante agradable.

The welcome was friendly and the service was quick but not pushy. The choice of meals was good and not expensive. We did not have to wait too long for the food to arrive an when it did it was hot and tasty. Will certainly go again.

Me and my partner stayed over night at the Barn last weekend and we were very happy with the experience. The room was lovely and very clean and the bathroom was gorgeous. Looked very new and sparkling clean. Lovely powerful shower. Comfy bed and nice white crisp bedding. The place itself is very well decorated and reception area and breakfast room is very welcoming. Meal was lovely and the portion sizes were massive. Good value for money. Breakfast was good quality and plenty of choice. Would deffinatly recomend this place to everyone and will hopefully be back in the future. Very friendly staff too.

Went as part of a party, was sat round two round tables, ate from the early bird menu which had plenty of choice and reasonable prices. I had the steak which was served with chips and peas you had to pay extra if you wanted mushrooms. The lamb was served with nice mash but friend would have liked veg with it.

My better half and I went for a quiet hour out to get something to eat.Misses had a steak burger and Chips with a large wine.Chips were supper chunky steak burger was cooked perfectly although the garnish was missing. as stated in menus I had spicy chorizo pasta.Verry nice... it was spicy but not to spicyCame wirh Garlic bread.Nice food good portions ( of the main menu not light bites menus) Service wasn't that quick considering it was a Tuesday evening but not the end of the world.Staff were friendly welcoming and polite.All in all ideal place to pop out for a bite to eat.

Family gathering, only wanted a light lunch, menu had a good range, of starters and mains, we had gammon, chicken curry and a lamb dish. Ordered at bar, not a long wait, considering most tables were occupied. The food itself was well presented and hot, all plates were cleared.

OK. So the buildings, rooms, facilities, views etc are all very good but this place is let down by the detail. on our first night we tried to put the electric heater on only to find that it didn't work so we spent the rest of that night in bed as it was a very cold night. We complained the next day and it was promptly fixed. We did not like the fact that our room had an adjoining door with no exterior lock and although we were told that there could be no access without us opening the door we were uncomfortable about it. On the second night we found that we were in the middle of a wedding party so very little sleep there and just to compound that, the main door, which was opposite our room, had a closing action similat to Arkwrights till, so that banged continuously. On the first morning the alarm next door went off repeatedly and despite us telling the staff it did so the following morning and they had told us that the room was empty! Finally we found that the staff/service was very patchy and overall was not good enough for an £85 a night stay.Such a pity as for very little outlay but a lot more attention to detail this would be a lovely venue.

The weather was great, the view was great, the staff were very helpful, The meal was already chosen as it was a wedding reception, which had given us time to choose what we wanted, when the meal came it was really very good not much left on the plates, there is a car park on the flat, to get into the restaurant or bar there is either steps or a slope so if having walking problems there is good safe way in.

Bulk sized portions of reasonable pub grub, in a nice venue that was spoilt by mostly being ignored by the staff. Only one had a smile, but overall we were made to feel that we were a nuisance for intruding on their day.It was an age before anyone came to take a drinks order and then once the drinks were served, we waited an age for the food orders to be taken. It was another age before we could get anyone's attention for deserts and to get the bill was a trek to the bar.This place could be so much more, but the owners must make enough for them not to care.We won't be going back!

We were staying in the hotel, & after a long hard day walking in the Brecon Beacons, we were looking forward to a nice dinner. The ambience wasn't that nice - choice of intrusive music was poor, menus weren't freely available & done tables hadn't been cleared. Menu choice was limited, & the majority of those dishes we found out weren't available. No specials board. Out if the two dishes available we chose chicken curry - it was a sweet salty pre-prepared gloop with rubbery cheap chicken & no sign of any vegetables or other ingredients. It wasn't very nice. Not a particularly enjoyable end to the day. As I write this lying in bed about to go down to breakfast, I wonder if they will have run out of bacon, egg & toast! Probably won't return.
