Barnes Coaches

"The journey was good, drivers (for both journeys) were very friendly and helpful. Overall the vehicle was clean and comfortable. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the toilet facilities were out of order for the outward journey (this wasn't a problem on the return journey). These things happen and will definitely be booking again for future events."

"West Berks Ramblers group based in the Newbury area employ Barnes coaches once a month from April to September to take us to our walk location where we are dropped off at three different locations depending on the length of the walk and meet the coach at the end.. Today Sun 14 Aug we were bound for Tetbury. However, the coach decided Cirencester was as far as it was going to go. Loud buzzing noises, so the driver Mike, pulled over to establish the engine was losing water rapidly. My reason for this story is, within 40 minutes of the breakdown we were seated on a replacement coach and heading for our destination! Full marks to Barnes coaches for handling the situation in such a efficiant and professional way."

"We used Barnes' 96 seater coach for our wedding reception. The coach picked our guests up from their hotels, took them to the church, then to the wedding reception and then back to their hotels at midnight. Most importantly for me, the driver was always on time. Whilst I wasn't on the coach myself, I am told by friends and family that he was friendly and polite at all times. I would happily recommend Barnes coaches to others."

"30th July - Cotswold Wedding. From the initial contact with the office to book and eventually upgrade coach to the very helpful driver, we cannot fault any of the assistance received from the Barnes staff. The coach arrived promptly and a very well prepared driver met us. Also to his patients when trying to get 60+ people out of the reception at midnight. Would definitely recommend and use Barnes again"

"Another trip out for Sainsbury's Veterans to Evesham Country Park and Events House Worcester. The coach was early so we had to go back to the first pick up to collect missing passengers but the coach was clean and Driver helpful we got to the Country park, had a lovely time. The journey from there to Events house did not run smooth as the sat nav sent us all around outskirts of Worcester instead of nearby junction off the motorway so we did arrive a little late. In all fairness some of these post codes cannot be relied on so always have an idea where you are going and discussion with the driver we had a smooth journey home and we would still always book with Barnes as they are reliable."

"Lovely day to Bournemouth on July 19th with Sainsbury's Veterans, coach was on time, comfortable, and clean.. Lovely driver picked us up at an easy to find place the sun shone all day and some of us even managed a swim. Although the traffic was heavy we got back at a good time."

"We hired Barnes Coaches to transport our wedding guests in the daytime and again in the evening and the service provided was second to none. The pristine coach arrived punctually and the driver was very patient when we had to try and locate a missing guest meaning our predicted departure time overran. The service was first class and I'd happily recommend them to anyone. Thank you."

"On behalf of the Newbury Association of National Trust I had hired a 53-seater coach to take us to Chavenage (an Historic Houses Association property near Tetbury) for the morning and then on to a National Trust property near Bradford on Avon in the afternoon. Our regular driver Ashley was helpful and friendly as ever and even returned to our first pick-up point of the day as there had been some confusion as to the exact location. Fortunately our missing passengers were found and we all enjoyed a very memorable day out. The coach was clean and comfortable, just as we always experience with Barnes Coaches. We shall definitely be continuing to use their services and would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone else."
