We stayed at Rainbow Barns in November for two nights. The accommodation is a great base for exploring the Cotswolds and is only a 2 minute drive from Bourton on water. You could probably walk it in the summer. We had everything we needed and more, from ironing board and hair dryer to a coffee press and biscuits. We would definitely recommend.

This was our first visit to the Cotswolds and we were impressed. Rainbow Barns is perfectly located to explore the area. The accommodation was a good level and was very warm and cozy on the chilly nights. The welcome pack as appreciated. A 20 minute stroll down the hill into Bourton which has an abundance of eateries, coffee and other shops. Well worth a visit. Would recommend Rainbow barns for anyone who prefers to be just on the outskirts of the village and doesn't mind a short walk there and back.

We were grateful that we had this lovely place as we had the Nora virus the whole stay. One criticism is that the Dyson vacuum cleaner was full so it was hard to clean at the end. Otherwise the owners were very friendly and we wished we were not sick.

Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy staying at this property. The cleanliness was not great and I wonder if they just rely on the previous visitors to do it to a high standard and therefore don’t check thoroughly. There were crumbs on the table, in the fridge etc. Food items left by previous visitors with no use by dates so just left over and over again, I imagine. The sofas are really low with no substance to them. We took all the scatter cushions to try and get comfortable but that didn’t work so we avoided getting back too early and left early morning. The bed was comfortable but the wardrobes had other peoples clothes, jackets. The bathroom very cramp but again the shower worked ok. Again not looking the cleanest. Such a shame as really spoilt our short break.
