Flint Barns, Rathfinny Wine Estate

Quaint atmosphere with Amazing professionals!

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.

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.

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 furnishedVery nice professional staffExcellent breakfast!peaceful with great views

Budget Bedroom very small with double bed against the wallSmall 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.

Upmarket in the country. Breakfast was good.

I had a tiny single room with no view which was very hot, so thank goodness for the fan. Needs a shower mat. Bombarded with emails beforehand. No TV.

Beautiful location, very quiet & peaceful. The lounge & dining area are comfortable & spacious.

The bedrooms are small- 8x5 is not much room with a double bed. It’s ok for 1 night but as one side of the bed is against the wall it would not be good for further nights.

The breakfast was really tasty. The space that was used as a 'snug' was nice to relax in. Overall, very quiet and enjoyable.

The room was quite bijou but that was the only drawback. The room got quite hot but we didn't realise that there was a temperature panel until the morning.

I stayed at The Flint Barns B&B for 1 night whilst I was travelling. I absolutely loved it! It's such a peaceful place to stay and unwind. There's some lovely walks to go on around the Rathfinny wine estate. My room was very cozy and the breakfast was delicious! Really enjoyed my stay and I will be back.

I was walking on the South Downs Way and it was a very long walk at the end of a tiring day uphill! But it was a lovely view!

Just found the room a bit small and dark with a very small window!

Location, high quality, atmosphere

Nothing - room was very small but absolutely fine for 2 small people and worth it for the cheaper price

Beautiful and interesting location. Friendly and helpful staff. Food excellent.

The place is located in a beautiful vineyard. Guests have the opportunity to take a walk in the estate, following the Rathfinny Trail. I did that just before dinner, very relaxing, beautiful views. Excellent breakfast a la carte.

The last few 50/60 metres of the road that leads to the hotel are not well maintained and full of potholes and gravel. Might be an issue if you're travelling by motorcycle, like I did.

We had the cosy room, so I wasn’t expecting it to be big- it felt like a dorm room , room exactly 120cms wider than the double bed and window was internal-the photo on the website didn’t show this…. No Aircon and no air if you didn’t open the 30 cm wide window that looked into the reception/ front door -very noisy. Privacy was interesting as we looked directly into our neighbours window -the space separating us was the width of the front doors. We only had black out roller blinds. We did try to up grade to the next size- but at breakfast our neighbours in a bigger room said it wasn’t much better.

The sense of school dorm furniture in the dining area and bedrooms / food was definitely the high point in regards to taste and presentation but the serves we carefully planned out to the number of beans - no sense of generosity- breakfast / no offers of seconds on anything - I felt that everything had been costed to an inch of its life.

Lovely views, great breakfast and friendly staff

Room was quite small
