Beautiful, traditional-style inn. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Only drawback is that most dining options in the area close quite early (by 8pm), so plan accordingly!

One of the few available accommodations in the area with actual Hotel flair and not an AirBnB. The rooms are renovated with brand new bathrooms. Everything's clean and there is free coffee, tea, milk and even port. Barker's estery for breakfast right next door is icing on the cake.

This place is absolutely lovely and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a special night away. My only suggestion would be a note next to the Nespresso machine letting you know decaf pods were available in the sitting room as we only found these the morning after our stay and I do prefer to drink decaf in the evenings.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were very impressed with the Vicarage property and of course our beautiful room/un-suite. The comfort of the huge bed, and fantastic front windows! The magnificent bathroom & shower…our compliments to the designer. The room’s accoutrements were a pleasant addition and made us feel very comfortable, specially the Nespresso coffee maker! The guest sitting room was an added bonus and we enjoyed eating a take home meal in comfort. The Vicarage staff were very hospitable & personable.The decor of the Vicarage should be award worthy. The added bonus of the Barkers Foodstore & Restaurant being on the same property should also be rated as 5 Stars.!. We will be back to enjoy more comfort and hospitality of the Vicarage and the surrounding community.
