The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm

As locals, we have been coming to the restaurant for years — always great food/service/ambience. So we were very pleased that our bride & groom chose this venue for their June 2025 wedding! Mark & Deena have moved on to another chapter of their lived but the new owners haven’t skipped a beat! Waitstaff & bar staff provided top notch service! A very lovely affair in every aspect & we’re still getting compliments from friends & relatives!!!

We had our May 16, 2025 wedding at Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm and it was incredible! They have amazing attention to detail, kind staff, and delicious food. We didn't have to worry about a thing - they even set all of our frames and signage up. Shout out to Kelly for making everything run smoothly! Would recommend to any couple looking to have a wedding with nature + romantic + approachable vibes.

We had our wedding at Barley Sheaf and we would HIGHLY recommend! When we first toured Barley Sheaf (and was our only venue that we toured because our decision was easy), we were overjoyed by the warm welcome we received from the staff. The historic ambiance and beautiful scenery added to the list of reasons we decided to plan our special day here. From the beginning of the planning process up until we checked out the morning after our wedding, it was an overall 10/10 experience. The food is excellent, staff is amazing to work with, and everyone makes you feel like you are right at home. A few special shout outs: To Kelly who answered my (many) questions and helped us bring our dream wedding into a reality! You are a rockstar and we truly appreciate everything. To Melissa who worked with us to accomodate our guests, answer lodging questions, and helped ensure each of our guests had a cozy place to stay for the weekend. And to the entire Barley Sheaf staff for your generous hospitality, amazing food, and overall fantastic service.

My husband and I are so happy we had our wedding at the Inn at Barley Sheaf last month. From our first visit to Barley Sheaf, we had a great feeling about it. All of the staff was so incredibly kind and the property is gorgeous. The team was so helpful and communicative while helping us plan our wedding during the year ahead of our big day. Huge shout out to Abbey and Kelly!! They made us feel so confident that our wedding day would go wonderfully. There was rain in the forecast all week before our wedding, and the team ensured they had several back up plans if we could not go with plan A of having our ceremony outside. Thankfully we were able to go with plan A, which was a dream! Our wedding day was absolutely amazing. My husband and I felt so well taken care of. We knew that the staff and our day of coordinator Kelly had everything under control. All of the staff is incredibly friendly and hospitable. The overall service was outstanding! Melissa is also amazing to work with for all your inn needs. All of the food was so delicious. We were told by several guests that it was the best wedding dinner they’ve ever had. Thank you for making our wedding dreams come true! I would highly recommend getting married at the Inn at Barley Sheaf! I hope I can attend another wedding there soon! ❤️

We had the most incredible wedding weekend at Barley Sheaf! Mark, Deena, and Kelly were so on top of everything and made sure that our experience on the day of the event was seamless. Not to mention - the property is absolutely beautiful and the food is delicious -- not your standard wedding fare! From beginning to end, their staff thought of every single detail, were helpful, knowledgeable and professional. We live in NYC and planning a wedding out of state definitely had it's challenges, but they made it absolutely seamless. I highly recommend Barley sheaf as a venue (especially in the fall if you can swing it -- the colors are AMAZING!)

First time visiting since the Chef Greg took over. We were all blow away from my teenage kids to grandmom. Outstanding food cooked to perfection, great service and a lovely setting. It is probably the best meal I have had in the area. We will be back!

Spent a magical weekend celebrating my best friend’s wedding back in Nov! In terms of location, you can’t beat it. It’s close to Downtown New Hope and Peddlers Village. The rooms here are out of this world - my husband and I were in the Deep Tangled Wildwood suite. Is it a bit pricey? Sure, but to have everything on-site from beginning to end was amazing. It felt like a fairytale experience, and I was so lucky to be a part of it!

Beautiful setting and spectacular food. When we sat down, our server told us to get ready for a Michelin star worthy dinner. With a bold statement like that, we were incredibly excited to dive into the Chef's 7-Course Tasting Menu. We were not disappointed. The service was exceptional. The food was next level quality with unexpected and creative flavors that only a truly gifted chef could create. This was an experience we will never forget and can't wait to return and share with friends!

food was excellent. chef tries very hard to get different flavors and textures into the dishes. i had duck which was wonderfully rich. the beet salad had a range of flavors including what i thought was citrus. new owners moved to Bucks County to make a go of it. worth trying.

We visited this venue since we attended a wedding here The staff was amazing and well organized This place is amazing and my Salmon was tasty. I'll be back

FUNDRAISER RECEPTION REVIEW ONLY Please don't judge the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm experience solely by this evening designed to accommodate past and future political success on a tight budget. That wouldn't be fair. But, it may be an indication of what you get under these unusual circumstances. The approach to this old farmstead turned bed & breakfast, banquet hall and hotel is indeed a long gravel tree lined driveway. I am sure it is spectacular in Spring and Summer with everything in bloom and at full flush. However, on a chilly late February evening with over 200 cars attempting to arrive in time for the start of the celebration, forced to crawl along bumper to bumper due to poorly realized valet parking, it was slow motion torture. It was only when the valet process was removed and people were able to park themselves, that the queue began to accelerate and allow people to move on to the evening pleasantries. The sense of relief that someone finally figured that out was only marginally reduced by the trek through the mud to reach the large hall. The staff was game, and did the best they could to serve hor d'oeuvres with all those people standing around to talk with friends and refusing to take seats until they were compelled to do so by more demanding voices. Those bacon wrapped dates were delicious. The evening was more about speeches and rallying cries in support of the upcoming elections, but a food buffet was available that most of us were hungry for. That line was almost as long and slow as the wait for parking. By the time I reached the food tables, the only things left were decent hamburger sliders, two pastas and tossed salad - and too small plates to hold my choices. Of course, the same was true for dessert, which was gone when I went to find it. By then, people were again out of their seats and congregating in knots. I was one of them, having accepted the fact that this was what this night was all about and that it was best to go with the flow and accept the cacophony. After all, we were there to support candidates up and down the ballot. In this goal we would surely be grandly rewarded. The rest really didn't matter.

Before the Lockdown, Barley Sheaf, a lovely onetime rural hideaway for Broadway celebrities, was a sought-after destination for exquisite dining between New York and Philadelphia. Then its executive chef left for family reasons after many years of service, replaced by the sous chef, who in turn departed after a brief stint. The remaining support staff did a surprisingly worthwhile job of holding down the fort thereafter. Yet, all this took its toll on the longtime owners, who were finally relieved by an experienced group which acquired the operation in November 2024. The result has been a pleasant surprise. New executive chef Greg Vassos, long regarded as one of the region's leading culinary lights, migrated to Barley Sheaf with the new ownership. The results are outstanding, judging from our initial visit. For us, it's a rare experience to dine where a single dish is arguably superior to any of its type we've had before. Yet, here we had not one, but two: the duck and the pork belly, both sous vide using locally sourced product and no small dash of creative preparation. It was not what we expected: actually a skosh superior to what we had experienced for years under the former exec chef. The only imperfection throughout was radish that slightly overwhelmed the filet mignon. After all this, the otherwise worthy dessert act that followed seemed less memorable than it might have otherwise. Ditto two of the three local cheeses, although the truffle cheese was a standout. Service was helpful and professional, yet unpretentious, with dishes being whisked immediately from preparation to table. It's still BYO, so load up your wine carrier with your best wines. But now, instead of a la carte it's $115 prix fixe for four courses, plus a 20 percent service charge -- $138 in all, plus any extras and surtips. They indicate the menu should be evolving regularly in line with what's available fresh locally. Note: Barley Sheaf also offers wedding and kindred group activities. These facilities and staff are completely separate from the fabled standalone restaurant, with pricing and food that are notably dissimilar.

So yummy! Loved the tasting menu very creative and unique. Tried dishes I don't normally have. Good for special occasions

I was truly impressed with my lunch today, it was fantastic. At an event with over 100 people I usually do not expect super fresh , well cooked food but that wasn't the situation today. The salmon was excellent, cooked perfectly. The chicken was tender and cooked perfectly also , very impressive. The service was also impressive as everyone at the table was served at once by individual servers. The view was a fabulous and desert was also fabulous. My first experience here was much better then I expected, especially with some of the less then stellar reviews. Definitely recommend this place and can't wait to return!

Food was good, but extremely expensive for the portions. Three scallops for $44.00, Tiny portion of beef tartare for $24.00. 20 percent service charge included in bill, which server said that goes to the staff. She then suggested that we give her more.

Made reservations for Valentine's Day supper. What a delightful idea. What's extra lovely about eating in this wonderful historical home is that it was indeed a home that entertained, and had so many memories in it. We sat in the main dining room next to the chef's kitchen near the fireplace. All the tables had this in space between them, which made it extra intimate for me and my Valentine. As each of the courses were served, we could the light with each other upon receiving it, and enjoying all the special preparations of such amazingly delicious dishes. Everything was so fresh and so fragrance and so delicious. It really is a very unique dining experience and such a special place to share with someone . Even though I had ordered the olive oil cake, we got an additional service of four complimentary sweets and a cookie to take home. And the service was fantastic. I really love this place.

Never fail to have an amazing meal here! The menu changes regularly but you will always be in for a treat. Went recently for New Year's Eve dinner, enjoyed the first course lobster dish and the crab salad - both were divine and especially still thinking about the crab salad! For our entrees, the duck breast was flavorful and cooked to perfection, the venison was truly exceptional!! The potatoes were very unique & tasty with a strong smoky flavor. The service is excellent, both owners make sure to check up on the meal and are lovely people as well. For dessert the chocolate cake with homemade vanilla ice cream was the perfect end. It's BYOB so don't forget to bring along your favorite wine.

Very nice upscale place for brunch or lunch. Food is impeccably prepared and service is top notch. Do be prepared for the bill. They are very proud of their meals

Spectacular dinner in the most beautiful setting. Rained as we were driving in and we were greeted by a double rainbow and a herd of deer. Outside was not open but we were seated with an expansive view of the outdoors. Actually preferred looking at the beautiful inside decor and the open kitchen. Celebrating so had every course. All unique and cooked to perfection. Every server was nicer than the last. Was a long drive and spent overnight nearby. Next time will book a room at this most delightful inn.

The staff is amazing with kids, especially Stephanie and Melissa. Food's great too. No cons

The Barley Sheaf is situated on a country estate which was originally developed in 1740. It's located in Holicong, PA which is between New Hope and Doylestown. It's really quite beautiful here. As you turn off from York Road, you drive down a long shaded driveway reminiscent of an old English manor. You then see the main building where the restaurant and inn are and there are also quite a few ancillary buildings dotting the landscape, as well as sprawling farm lands out back. We were looking for a brunch spot one day and found them via Open Table. We made a reservation and stopped in at noon. We were warmly greeted by the reception and seated right away. The waitress came by and gave us the rundown. She told us we can have anything on the menu and as much as we wanted. I was not expecting that, but it turned out to be a really nice deal. The food was great! We had frittatas, the mushroom and egg polenta, the fried goat cheese, and the salmon with potatoes, fennel and broccoli de Cicco. Everything was outstanding. Also big shout out to the Barley Sheaf for amazing coffee. I usually hate restaurant coffee, but theirs was truly rich and flavorful. The price was $39.50 per person before tax and tip, which for brunch is a bit expensive to be sure. But the food quality was top notch and the atmosphere was definitely unique. No regrets, it was well worth it. We really enjoyed ourselves. After our meal, we walked around a bit and soaked up the beauty of the estate. Our kids loved the animals on the property and in particular loved feeding dandelions to the goats. Amazing food in a very charming setting. Five stars. One of my favorites in Bucks County.

I have held several events at the Inn at Barley Sheaf, and have always had a fantastic experience. In the planning phase, Mark and his team are easy to work with and accommodating of whatever you throw at them. The events have ranged from 50-200+ people, and they're always able to make it work and provide a great experience. The staff that runs the events are always kind, personable, and extremely helpful. There is no shortage of helping hands who are able to deliver for a great time. The atmosphere at Barley Sheaf is always nice and overlooks a beautiful farm providing for great views throughout the night. We've had several different types of food over the years, and it is always delicious and timed right over the course of the night. I highly recommend Barley Sheaf for your next event, and I know we will be back!

This place is outstanding! I can't believe we haven't been here until now. The grounds, service, and food are amazing! Definitely putting this on our go to fine dining places. This is a BYOB with a great chef. Check it out!

Beautiful location for weddings. However, I do not recommend staying overnight. The rooms are outdated and not in the aesthetically pleasing type of way. They seriously need to do some deep cleaning and remodeling. I specifically asked for no room service, yet it was done anyways. To end things on a positive note, there is a nice farm on the property with livestock.

We have eaten here many times, and recently had our wedding here. The property is amazing, the staff is awesome, everything went smoothly. all of our guests loved our celebration!

It was snowing earlier in the day and it's now a cold wintry night as we pull up to the Inn located out in the dark countryside. The building, built in 1740, looks very warm and comforting. However, it was somewhat of a let down once we entered. The Reception area, the cluttered common room as well as the dining room, although nice, did not have that warm, cozy, country-inn feel to them, with the lighting being on the bright side and the walls and decor somewhat nondescript. All of the staff were very friendly and fun. The food, although very good, did not have that Wow factor. The Crab as well as the Scallop Crudo appetizers were delicious. Our entrees of Fluke and the Elk were also very good. The presentation of all that we had was beautiful. The bill, including the 18% tip they automatically charge, came to around $145. Although it was an enjoyable evening, because of the lack of atmosphere, I don't think we will be in a rush to return.

This is great for the location. Perfect for a romantic or sophisticated evening. Even from the get-go driving in is beautiful with the long driveway, canvassed with wonderful, old trees, and near the end you are greeted with a barn on one side and a dignified inn/restaurant on the right. We ate outside due to COVID-19, but that made the experience even more special, as we were able to observe the beautiful grounds, great landscaping, and enjoy the night air. The wait staff was pleasant and agreeable. It is more refined than your usual restaurant in this area, for instance, they have a bottle service, proper linens, two servers per tables, etc. I The attention to detail was top notch and my few minor requests for this or that were always observed. Prior to being seated we were led through the inn, which looked architecturally interesting and I enjoyed the idea of observing the open-air kitchen in a post-pandemic world. The wine list was very good with beautiful glasses and a heady range of flavors and regions. On to the dinner menu! For the first course, I had the Charred English Cucumber Salad which was beautifully presented and contained a bevy of textures while retaining the lightness appropriate for an appetizer. My DP enjoyed the chilled English pea soup, and probably more so the bread that accompanied the meal. ;) For the second course, I opted for one of the specials that evening, which was the grilled octopus. The octopus was so tender and well plated. I have not had such well prepared octopi since Morimoto in Philadelphia. My DP had the smoked salmon which was again expertly plated and offered a few contrasts of textures and flavors without overdoing it. For entrees, I opted for another special, which was the pheasant, and my DP the halibut. The pheasant was certainly interesting and enjoyable to me, as somewhat outside my usual alimentary regimen, however, it's lightness and perfect pairing of accompaniments were an excellent way to round out the meal. My DP enjoyed the halibut which was well paired too with sweet onions et al. Mixed mushrooms made a hearty side for this course and were well prepared sans an overbearing use of oils or butter. We did not partake of dessert at this juncture, as we were both nicely sated, however, the petit fours to wrap up the meal were a pleasant and smile-provoking way to end the culinary journey.

Food was amazing! Like an episode of Top Chef! Very different! Cute ambiance! Love that it is byob!

If you are looking for romantic, quaint, and charming then this is your place. Located just down the road from Peddler's Village, this restaurant is a must try for anyone looking for a dining experience. As you drive up to the restaurant, you know you are in for a treat. It's BYOB and as you enter the staff greet you and take your wine. There is a large sitting area where you wait for your table. Once you get to your table, your wine is waiting for you. This was a nice touch. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The service was a 10! We started with the Endive Salad and the Crab Appetizer. The salad had whipped ricotta, apples and walnuts. The combination was delicious. The crab appetizer was creamy and melted in your mouth. I chose the lobster for my main and it didn't disappoint. The artichokes complimented the perfectly cooked lobster tail. The beef main was a nice portion of filet and smoked short rib. They were both delicious. We were celebrating my birthday so dessert was a must. The decomposed chocolate cake was memorable. Then came a plate of complimentary bite size treats. Each one was unique and tasty. After paying they send you home with two cookies nicely wrapped to enjoy before bed. It was a really nice touch!

Where to start, where to start. This place has been on our must try list for some time. We finally out it on the calendar and indulged. For starters this is not a large place. It has location and ambiance in its corner. Cute and charming. Then it all goes off the rails We each actually felt we weee being punked. We ordered two separate appetizers and different entrees. I can offer a spoiler alert and say we quickly and politely asked for to go boxes and declined desserts. Luckily at home we had leftover indian food from namaste ( cant be beat) to save us! The scallops were ok. But dry and tasteless. The salad was a hunk of vinegar infused romaine on ricotta (Ricotta!?!?) cheese with almonds. Have they never heard of salad? The spare rib seemed prepared by one who heard of barbecue but never tasted it. The wagyu beef was perhaps the dryest meat i have ever tried while the desserts were nearly comical. Shall i add that everything came out luke warm at best? Tu summarize this was singularly our worst dining experience in Bucks County. Please avoid at all costs.

Place is amazing. They had possibly the best pasta dish I've ever had. Not one underwhelming item.

Lovely property and nice people. They need to hire someone to clean better and remove clutter when you walk in.

Had brunch today. Haven't been there in 3 years. Food is still impeccable! Staff is so friendly and accommodating! Owner always greets us and checks on our experience. Positively love it there!

My boyfriend treated me to the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm for my birthday dinner and it was an incredible experience. The ambiance simply cannot be beat. The grounds are beautiful and the lighting is very cozy and romantic. The food we sampled was nothing short of magic. I ordered the hangar steak and it was definitely top three best steaks of my life. From the taste to the presentation everything was phenomenal. We ordered the side of mushrooms and I don't know what they are doing to mushrooms over there but they were the best I've ever had. The dessert was equal parts gorgeous and delicious. From the minute we stepped out of our car we knew this place was special and we were not disappointed. In my opinion there is no better place to celebrate anything than Barley Sheaf. I can't wait to go back!

Came here for a Sunday Christmas brunch with 3 other couples. We have been here before. Ambiance is 17th century Dutch/German farmhouse. Lodging is also offered. Apparently many swell artsy craftsy New York and Hollywood folk came here in the last century using it as a retreat. We were seated in a separate room with a nice round table extremely accommodating. Patrick our server came by and explained the process. We were given mimosas to start while we perused the menu. The place is a byob and we had brought some Prosecco. The offering is very nice and interesting. There are new menus seasonally and you can start with small dishes and move to mains as you wish. The nice thing is you can actually order everything on the menu and they will prepare it for you fresh. I had the pork belly, steak slider and beef. They were all delicious. Others had various choices all were pleased. Service was great Patrick was always around and there were many bus folk and others assisting. We saw the Owner serving desserts. They have the service piece figured out. Cost was $80/couple. A fair price for a high endy gourmet brunch. You could order bacon and eggs and coffee if you wanted to but why not sample the chef's creations for the season? We all did. It was a great brunch and I am sure we will return. Mark & Nancy.

Came here for brunch on Sunday with a few girlfriends, the place was gorgeous. The service was excellent so accommodating and friendly! I loved that it was BYOB and the four course brunch menu... the food was absolutely delicious! I will be back here and highly recommend if you want to sit outside with beautiful scenery and great food.

This was our first time out since the whole pandemic started and what a treat! We really chose a fantastic place. Well technically it was chosen by my mother in law but I could've said no right? We met here for brunch. You have to make reservations because there's only so much room. Right off the bat I was wow'd by the long drive with shady trees. It really feels like it should be a place in the south. The drive is easy to miss despite the two horse statues out front. Anyway the road leads up to the farm. Small horses, goats, and pigs. You go back through a house onto the back patio area. Plenary of space to maintain a safe distance from other occupants. Also an outdoor bathroom that's very clean. It was very reasonably priced for the amount of food. They started us off with free mimosas. After that you get a first course. I got salmon on a mini bagel. Then you get two 2nd courses! I got salmon eggs Benedict and fried goat cheese with prosciutto. Sooooo good. On top of that you get a desert. A chocolate tart for me. All of this was only $40 a person. Most places are about that these days anyway. Oh and a free chocolate chip cookie when leaving! Of course I had to stop to pet all the animals before leaving. The pigs were my favorite. I'd love to go here again. Also I can't wait to tell my own mother!

Exquisite food and service. The room is nice and everyone os very personable. Can't wait to go again.

It is a truly amazing place and I would highly recommend. The food and the atmosphere are perfect. A Bucks County gem!

Their brunch menu and items are excellent, we've never been disappointed, and they are only a short distance from Peddlers Village!

We chose to stay here because Mark was reassuring over the phone that he and his wife/co-owner Deena have taken all precautions to make their B&B as safe as possible, and this was very true. We stayed in a room with a private entrance, and were able to stay at a time when it hadn't had an occupant for 2 days. Everyone working there wore masks--waiters had full face shields--and we felt safe and relaxed the whole time. The property is stunning--the pictures don't do it justice-- and the food was fantastic. Make a reservation for dinner, though, because they book up quickly! We visited the farm animals, walked along the lake, checked out the pool, and just took in the scenery. Barley Sheaf is also 10 minutes from downtown New Hope, which was super convenient too. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

First time back after a year. Food was even better than I remembered. We ate all 3 courses and had no room for the mouth-watering dessert selection. Service remains elegant without being annoying. Our server Judy was both delightfully pleasant and extremely helpful. We sat outside and it was certainly warm enough in their open-sided tent set amidst the gorgeous grounds. It is BYOB which for us is a plus and a rarity among very high-end dining spots. For us, the combination of exquisite food and delightful setting makes this the premier choice for special-occasion dining in Bucks County.

Spectacular dinner on Friday night. Each course was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the soup, salad and scallops. The menu has just changed for this month and well worth a visit. We were a table of four ladies, with lots to talk about, so we really enjoyed a leisurely meal. Service was fantastic and the setting is ideal. I've dined here on many occasions and always enjoy the diversity of the menu and the portion size, you you may enjoy multiple courses. Will return again soon!

What an absolutely amazing dining experience. The service is excellent. The chef is innovative, ingredients fresh, food beautifully plated. The surrounding grounds are lovely. I was also secretly delighted to be served petit fours at the end of the meal, and given a cookie to go. It is a BYOB! Servers quietly circulated and made sure everything was just seamless. An amazing find and I will be going back! Reservations are not easy to get so plan early!

WOW...I can't believe I haven't posted a review for this amazing bed and breakfast. My wife and I stayed at Barley Sheaf Farm during Thanksgiving of 2017 and once before that and both times it was fantastic. My wife LOVED this place. As for me, I really enjoyed staying here. The inn itself is amazing, and there are all sorts of things to do in the area. I especially enjoyed breakfast and dinner. They have a chef who knows his stuff and is very accommodating -- and my wife is a trained chef and said he is 5 stars, so that should tell you something. When you arrive, the owners, who are two of the nicest people i've ever met, welcome you as if they've known you forever and bring food to your room and even some wine (or champagne, I can't remember) for you to enjoy as you take in the awesomeness of the room you chose. All of the rooms are really tastefully done. Ours had a nice view and the bathroom was large and super clean. There is also a sitting area so you relax with a book or just surf the net on your laptop. Just fantastic in every way. If you are considering a romantic getaway or just happen to be passing near Holicong, PA on your way to somewhere and you have a night or more to spend somewhere, seriously consider staying at the Inn at Barley Sheaf. My wife and I will definitely be back if we are ever in the area, probably this summer. We still have two tickets to the hot air balloon ride that we never used!

I was so disappointed with the food. Maybe the very limited menu is due to the pandemic? I ordered the very bland halibut with some sort of muddy sauce that was inedible. It came with mushrooms and no other vegetables. My husband's duck was a little better but I don't care for sweet sauces. I told the waitress I didn't like my entree and she was so concerned and offered to get me something else. In retrospect I should have taken her up on it but hate to be waiting while my husband would be finishing his meal and then have to eat mine alone. Plus the other entree choices weren't that inviting. I ordered carrot soup for an appetizer which had a lot of overpowering garnish--some kind of seeds? Gotta say that was disappointing too. The chocolate pudding cake was very good. I read that a number of others thought the food was bland and I agree. It is pricey for what you get. The waitress and host were very attentive. Maybe the subpar food was due to the pandemic? The setting is so incredible with a gorgeous tree-lined drive but I'm not crazy with the cluttered look of the living room area you walk through to get to the dining area. The first thing you see when you walk in is a tiny bathroom with the door opened. I had been so excited about trying this place out as it's a hallmark setting in Bucks County. So sad that it wasn't better.

Open Table rates this restaurant in the top 100 romantic restaurants in the country and as it was our wedding anniversary, thought it would be a great choice. It is a very pretty place. It's winter time so I think the romantic quotient would be higher in the summer but make no mistake, this place is uber quaint. Top notch ambiance- think quintessential country inn. Service is caring and attentive, which was a good thing since they include the tip in the bill - for a party of two? I don't get that. The food was good. I didn't get to "wow" or even very good. It's very old school and a bit too frilly or "foo foo" for me, but I guess it fits with the personality of the property. It does seem like they put care in to the cuisine, but it was kind of a miss. There was no one under 50 in the place, so that gives you an idea who they cater to. If you're celebrating a special day, this could be a nice choice as long as decor and ambiance is the most important factor.

Great food in a beautiful facility and environment just minutes from Doylestown and newtown. The food is always delicious, farm fresh produce and locally sourced where possible. They always seem to have a new seasonal menu that keeps things interesting. I know they do have a b&b setup at the location but we have never stayed there. They have a large post and beam barn that they rent out for different events like weddings and such. The only negative I have is they need an espresso machine! The owners will get a chuckle about that remark.

Delicious brunch. Best coffee since Italy. Service perfect despite the fact that they had a wedding going on.

If you are looking for a quiet, romantic, and leisurely breakfast, this is your place. This restaurant is in an old but quaint bed and breakfast situated on a beautiful farm in Bucks County. You pay $35.00 per person. When you walk in, you are greeted and quickly seated in a beautiful room with windows all around. In the fall. spring and summer you can see the beautiful grounds that this B and B is on. This is a perfect place for a wedding or baby shower. As you are seated, you are asked if you would like coffee, fresh squeezed juice or a fresh squeezed mimosa. You then may start picking any or all choices on the delicious menu. I started with the most scrumptious home made biscuits and gravy. They were truly out of this world. My next choice was cinnamon French toast. Just as good. Next course was a pork slice with apples. I did not need a knife to cut through it because it was so tender. On our table they also had a fresh basket of pastries. There were so many other good choices and you can order as much as you want. At this point we were beyond full but saw a waiter bring out a peanut butter parfait and a slice of chocolate cake and we decided we had to try them. All I can say is wow! A few more things-there is an open kitchen where you can see everything being made. There is a large barn type conference center next door for bigger affairs. Lastly-they give you a freshly baked cinnamon donut to each person in our party to take home. How can you resist not going?

We loved the atmosphere here, along with being with my husband. Sorry to say we were really disappointed with the food...this place had a lot of great reviews so we made reservations...I ordered the ribeye steak medium. It came out well done but that wasn't just the problem...it was so rediculously small and was nothing but fat. Knowing this steak is fatty but I expected at least to have 2 oz of steak that was edible for $42. My husband ordered yellow tail tuna which was a little better but also extremely small...the funny thing was it said it came with scallops we searched the plate for them...haha they were the size of peas... after 5 minutes of eating we left. $92 for dinner and had to go somewhere for dinner after. I don't mind spending money for dinner but that was the most disappointing...the best place for gourmet dining was the William penn inn.

How does this place get so many good reviews? The food was sub-par, the service was terrible and we still paid over $100 for it! I was appalled at how bad it was.

We recently ate dinner at the Barley Sheaf and had mixed emotions. Pros: Terrific service, above-average food preparation. Cons: the atmosphere was sub-par for the price point ... with a little TLC needed. Again, service was terrific. Food was delicious, but we both thought it was a little bland. For example, I ordered the halibut. The fish itself was perfectly cooked. However, I'd estimate that is was about 4 oz, a bistro portion, and lightly seasoned ... no wow factor. The physical structure itself has amazing potential. However, we were greeted in a beautiful foyer and then led to a sitting area. The sitting area had boxes stacked in the corners as if they were cleaning out a few rooms. The coat hang was a chrome bar that you'd typically find in the basement next to the W/D and very visible. The furniture was random, seemingly from local vintage stores. The restaurant itself was a little nicer but in need of a decorator and fresh paint. We really wanted to like it more but given other choices in the area, we can't really recommend right now.

Incredible place. Best restaurant in the area. Fantastic place to stay. A perfect venue for your wedding. Great date night or special occasion spot. Couldn't speak higher of Barley Sheaf. Ownership is also wonderful and make you feel right at home. If you dine there, bring a nice bottle of wine and order one of every course. The chef is so dang talented and you will love every bite.

So, Sunday Brunch, Prix Fixee at $35.00 per person. Well-mannered and well-trained staff, very proper and very attentive. The menu was not well-explained...their was a starter and an entree From a column of breakfast items and a column of lunch items, and dessert ( including the ever present, but not listed, Tiramisou). Our server alluded to lunch and then breakfast, if you wish, in passing, but No one at our table understood what that was in reference to. I ordered a vegetable barley soup ( unseasoned: needed salt, which I NEVER add in a restaurant, and pepper), and a "Smoked Duck" dish. When the entree came out ( and I was very well-behaved because our good friend was taking us out on the occasion of my wife's birthday), I did a double-take at my plate: there in front of me was a plate of white beans with three ( count them, 3) bite-size morsels of smoked duck. Can I say the duck was well-prepared and delicious? I don't know; the sample size was too small to judge. I know the beans were good; there was a plate-full of them to judge. Also, my wine was good. It was BYOB, and I brought a wonderful NAPA Cabernet from Redmond Vineyards. I know one thing: I'm looking forward to my Betty's Bouef Bourgingnon, tonight, because I am still hungry!

I can't believe I didn't discover this restaurant earlier! I drive right past it a few times of week, and we had THE BEST meal in recent memory. Great staff, beautiful setting, delicious meals like I transported to Europe. I know I sound like an advertisement... but mostly I'm writing this so I remember to go back soon. Wait, what was I saying? Where am I? Google- where is my nephew, Nate?
