Reviews of Rathfinny Wine Estate - The Flint Barns
"The set meal portion size was miserly. The soup was no more than a few spoonfuls although good. The main was a joke... a small starter for any other restaurant ... tiny portion... and excessively salty. The the best part was dessert as the custard was more volume than the rest put together. The discrimination for Vegans is immense... there is no set menu for you ... well actually there is.. one choice of starter main and dessert.... that is it and at £20 more than the other menu it is a rip off and a real smack in the face to lactose intolerant people. The wine was really good . The room was supposed to be a superior one ...but the noise from other rooms was excessive and the furnishings as basic as they can get. No tv... the room was cold and a little oil radiator supplied . Tiny bathroom that had a shower that only thin people could access. Matress was comfy but overall we felt that the food choice was zero... the amount miserly and value for money in early March not good. Coupled with that they tried to double charge the meal and wine and we left with negativity all round. The waitress serving and the breakfast was excellent .but limited. We would not go there again... but if you are not Vegan or lactose intolerant or you don't choose the set menu it may all be very different ."
"We visited yesterday for a tour and wine tasting. We had dinner and stayed overnight in the Flint Barns, with breakfast the next morning. It was fantastic, a beautiful place. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate. All the staff were extremely kind and helpful, our food was delicious and our room beautiful and comfortable. A gorgeous setting - would highly recommend."
"Spent a night at the hotel after a wine tasting experience. Nice friendly check in, and we were off to our room, 'Camp Hill'. The room was beautifully presented, nice furnishing, drinks making facilities, and a lovely walk in shower. Dinner and breakfast at the hotel were great, friendly staff really made our short break enjoyable. Our only issues were the fire panel located near the room going off in the middle of the night (luckily another guest was familiar with the panel and knew how to turn it off) . When mentioned at check out, the staff are well aware, and this wasn't the first occurrence. The proximity of Camp Hill to the front door also meant the guests arriving late night/early morning were easily heard. We'd definitely stay again but would request a different room."
"Nice place but the rooms are so small - I can’t even quite believe it. There’s about enough space to walk around the bed if only one person but if two people staying then you can’t open the toilet door in case you hit or block the other person. Same goes for all really. Bad toiletries being only a multi wash on offer. If you want to use hairdryer then you have to unplug the kettle. Just a shame they’ve clearly tried to pack too many rooms in so everything so incredibly tight. I wouldn’t stay again"
"Wonderful location and views down to the Cuckmere Valley. Only visited for evening meal, but had a lovely informal time in the Flint Barn restaurant. Booked the tasting room, but had to cancel last minute, so worried we might miss out by transferring to the barn. But the head chef is the same across both venues, so it worked out well.. Very competent cooking and nice wine, with reasonable set menu price . Very welcoming staff."
