Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Fabulous, large, clean room with comfortable bed and linens. Staff was friendly and responsive. Still doing breakfast drop-offs due to COVID - they were great but variety was limited for a week long stay.

Expensive and no service, rooms not made daily. Had to wait for the one staff member to show up and get service at the reception counter.

Love the historic feel of the building but with very modern amenities. Very quiet even though it is on the main and not too far away from dining options and shopping malls. So close to nature with lots of green space but the historic feel of the old Ancaster Village is preserved. My third stay and I really enjoyed it!.

beautiful building. One staff we spoke to was lovely, the other we seemed to be inconveniencing by existing. Also even though COVID restrictions had been lifted they are still delivering breakfast to the rooms rather than having their buffet. Which is a shame because breakfast was pleasant but underwhelming and the breakfast room looked really nice.

Location to Ancaster Mill excellent nearby hiking trails with waterfalls as well. We had a couple of snow falls and thought the clearing of snow should have been better. Wonderful stay will go again.

We had a great stay at The Barracks Inn, it's a very clean hotel and the area around is quiet. The only thing we didn't enjoy is our breakfast which was not that great since it was a continental breakfast delivered to our room.
