We booked a long weekend at the Barn, having stayed before. Full of Cotswold charm and close to pubs and towns so many places to visit.

Anna was very welcoming and the apple juice was delicious. The bed was probably the most comfortable we’ve slept in when being away. The sofa unfortunately wasn’t comfortable for us. We hadn’t realised that the barn was “surrounded “ by other properties and a workshop, so there was quite a lot of vehicles coming and going over the course of our stay. However the barn itself was really nice and we did enjoy our stay.

We had a lovely stay at the Barn, a beautiful space with everything you need in a gorgeous, peaceful setting. Anna was proactive with instructions and recommended a great walk just next to the property. Really reccomend.
