"Excellent service from Barnes Coaches. We hired a mini bus to take us down to Southampton. Chris arrived in plenty of time, ready for us to load up. We had a good journey and were dropped right outside terminal. Making it hassle free. The return journey was just as smooth. The bus was, clean and comfortable and our driver Chris very friendly. Would hire again."

"Hi, thank-you for your review. This coach is booked in for repair regarding the bodywork. The seats in this coach are actually premium seats, we trialled them with this coach and have now decided that they are a worse design than standard seats so we no longer buy coaches with these seats. The motorway toll box is supplied by a third party and as soon as we were aware there was an issue last week, we contacted the third party and this shouldn't have impinged on your journey. I am glad you found the driver to be exceptional and that you enjoyed the holiday, please be assured that the issues you raise are all being addressed.
thanks"
