Goodlake Barns are a perfect location for visiting the Cotswolds. Our accommodation in Blossom Barn was was extremely comfortable, clean and equipped with all neccessary items including towels and soap dispensers. An extra nice touch were the complimentary buiscuits. After a full day touring the area, it was nice to return to a quiet, homely atmosphere. My wife is disabled, so being on one level, Blossom Barn was perfect for her needs. I think we will return.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2025
Blossom Barn provided us with a comfortable mid-week stay and although the overall cleanliness of the barn was acceptable, certain aspects let it down. The oven was dirty and grill sticky, not enough bowls, some of curtains in the sitting room area were hanging off the rails (we have subsequently heard new rails and new curtains will be installed soon but for our stay we felt there was a lack of making a good impression for all customers). In addition the super-king sized mattress was uncomfortable so after the first night we used bedroom number two.
The location for access to the Cotswolds was excellent and the area was extremely quiet.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
This place was a bit deflating. I’d recently spent some time in several other cottages of a much higher standard in the same price range.
The furnishings and décor are tired and there was a musky smell throughout the property.
It’s not particularly clean. The skirting boards were thick with dust in lots of places. There’s mould in the wet room, which remains wet and damp for most of the day after a shower in the morning. The cutlery was grubby.
There are several other rental places on the same site and the goldfish bowl design of the building means you can see how long the cleaners spend preparing the cottages for the next guests, which is about 20 minutes.
Perhaps most disappointing of all was the noise from the neighbouring cottage and the lorries using the road immediately behind one of the bedrooms to access the farm. Part of the stay was spent enduring some children who seemed to be living in a different time zone and played loudly from 1-3am. After they left, the next guest in the same cottage could be heard snoring throughout the night, so the walls are clearly not very soundproof.
The Lamb at Buckland was the highlight of the visit. Excellent food and very reasonably priced.
