About this property

Buckland Wood Barn is a detached Cotswold stone barn, situated at the end of a quarter-mile long hard-surface drive. The Barn is in the grounds of the 16th century gamekeeper's cottage which has some 50 acres including a private wood and stream. It has a lovely, secluded garden where you can sit out and enjoy the peace and quiet.
The barn is situated on a hillside a mile above Broadway, the setting has breath-taking views across the valley (designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) up to Broadway Tower. This picturesque town is often referred to as the “show village of England” due to its beautiful honey coloured limestone buildings some of which date back to the 16th century. Visit the excellent butchers or the Broadway Deli to stock up on all the lovely, local produce that is beautifully presented inside and outside of the shop.
Right from your front door there are some fantastic walks, including the 100 mile Cotswold Way running all the way from Chipping Campden to Bath. Or for something different, wander through the lavender field at Snowshill, where they harvest 35 varieties of lavender. You can also admire Snowshill Manor or take a stroll down to the pub which is only a mile away.

Awesome stay. The cottage layout was perfect for us staying with our children. Very well-equipped kitchen, clean and well-maintained property, grounds are beautifully taken care of. Location is fantastic: picturesque and peaceful but still within easy reach of Broadway,, local amenities and other places of interest.

Cosy, comfortable cottage. Spotlessly clean, lovely welcome basket. It was quiet and peaceful, birds on the patio to watch. My friends took a walk and showed me beautiful pictures of the countryside. Sadly I canât walk far. Would highly recommend this cottage.
