Guests say

Malt Barn is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its cleanliness, helpful housekeeper, and well-equipped kitchen. The property's spacious grounds, hot tub, and outdoor games are popular among families and large groups. Some guests noted issues with bedroom blinds and heating, but overall experiences were positive, with many recommending the property for gatherings and celebrations.

Guests consistently commend the property's cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting its spotless condition upon arrival. The housekeeper, Dot, is frequently mentioned for her role in maintaining the high standards.

While the reviews mention nearby attractions and the property's rural setting, there is insufficient detail to accurately assess guests' satisfaction with the location.

The property is generally found to be comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and spacious living areas. However, some guests reported issues with overly warm bedrooms and a lack of bedroom blinds, affecting sleep quality.

Facilities like the well-stocked kitchen, hot tub, and outdoor games are highly praised. Criticisms include a lack of bedroom TVs, dated appliances, and some maintenance issues like broken DVD players and WiFi problems, slightly detracting from the overall high rating.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, aside from the general helpfulness of the housekeeper. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

About this property

This delightful holiday property set in a quiet location within the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, a short distance from Burford. The property is presented to a very high standard with seven bedrooms, three with ensuite shower rooms, a further two with ensuite toilet and basin and one family bathroom available making it absolutely prefect for large group gatherings - be they friends or family. Internally the property retains many period features along with countless contemporary touches to give this a real high quality, minimalist feel. An element that particularly appealed to us was the large ground floor which has the feeling of being 'open plan' but actually has separate 'rooms' and thus creates a sense of being together without all the noise that this can sometimes bring! Similarly appealing are the large gardens to the rear of the property, which the owners have thoughtfully added a hot tub, skittles and table tennis which are just as much fun for friends (adults) as they are families with children! A great choice.

There is a maximum of 14 guests allowed at this property. Infants not included in this number and there are two cots avalable.

Upper Brize, Oxfordshire is a short drive away from Burford. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located mid-way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit. The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past.

    The housekeeper was there to greet us with a detailed tour. We did have a problem with the oven shelves but this was very quickly sorted with a new oven installed! Thank you

    Our group consisted of ten adults and four young children. Upon our arrival we were met by the wonderful Housekeeper 'Dot'. She gave us a very comprehensive tour of the premises explaining where things were and how things worked. Every one of the adults thought Malt Barn was lovely and the kids were exhausted at the end of the day having visited Crocodile world, Burford and on the Sunday Carterton for the Remebrance Ceremony. We can thoroughly recommend Malt Barn. Thank you Dot for all of your hard work.
