"Our group have used Barnes Coaches on a number of occasions over the years and the .coaches are very clean, tidy and comfortable. The drivers are always smartly turned out and very helpful. On the last occasion of using Barnes, I made an error on the booking date, but the Barnes team and driver Phil saved the day, for which I was truly grateful. We had a wonderful day out."

"Firstly for the first time in my many brilliant day trips/holidays with Barnes the coach to Portsmouth 21 April was sadly not up to your usual excellent standard. Dripping water from above the seats on the main coach caused problems but to their credit the driver + the feeder coach driver did the best they could to rectify at Newbury and supplied affected passengers with paper towels for the onward journey. Commendably the coach was replaced for the return journey. Secondly just thought I'd mention that the hovercraft was much better organised this time as we were given stickers to show Hovertravel instead of someone with a list of names and trying to gather all those concerned together"
Would they recommend: Yes

"Hi, apologies that the coach developed this fault after it had left our yard. I can only apologise and assure you that we always do our best to ensure coaches don't develop such faults.
Thanks"

"The coach arrived on time. in Melksham. When we got to Calne the driver was most helpful getting Mary & her buggy on the coach.. Not quite sure why we went to Swindon to get on the motorway. Dropped and picked up near the cathedral. Dropped us back in Melksham first as requested., Certainly would book again for next year¬"
