10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We were a family of 6 adults, 2 children and a baby staying for a week over new year on The Barn. It was really spacious, but also so cosy and warm. The spaced out bedroom arrangements suited us brilliantly. The log fire was great and the kitchen had everything needed. The bathrooms are lovely to use. All round it was great

The Barn was the perfect setting for our families to come together for a surprise weekend celebrating my mother’s 90th birthday. The property was spotlessly clean, well equipped, and exceptionally spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals for everyone to enjoy together, which made the stay feel particularly special.
Despite the time of year, the Barn was consistently warm. We only used the wood burner once, as it quickly became too warm when running at full capacity. The only minor criticism raised by members of our party was that the dining chairs in the kitchen area could benefit from updating, as they are showing their age and are not the most comfortable. Aside from this, the property was faultless.
Shelley, the housekeeper, was very responsive prior to our stay and extremely helpful in answering questions about what we might need to bring. Communication from StayCotswold throughout the booking process was excellent.
I would highly recommend this lovely property for a large gathering. It would also be ideal for larger groups requiring additional accommodation, as there are other barns available to book within the same courtyard.

The Barn was a wonderful location and setting for our family birthday celebration as it is close to major roads and railway stations. The fact there are smaller barns in the same courtyard makes it ideal to so that families can have separate accommodation but come together for walks etc in the surrounding countryside. The large living room was ideal to blow out the candles and toast the birthday. The kitchen is really well equipped for catering for large groups. Beds are comfortable and bedrooms generally a good size, having lots of bathrooms is helpful. Only downside was the twin beds that were not able to be made up as doubles and the downstairs twins had no easy bathroom access. The master bedroom is a great size and super comfortable but the bathroom is into the eaves and the handheld shower over the bath may not suit everyone. The tap on the bath was broken although it worked fine and there was lots of hot water. Thank you
