10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
The Byre was exactly what we we hoped it would be - a beautiful, clean, well presented cottage tucked away in the Cotswolds. All the instructions were clear, communication was great, there is not much to criticise. We researched the location, so we knew getting around would involve a lot of walking, but that's what we were looking for. That being said, getting a taxi or even an Uber is not a problem. Some of the pubs in the surrounding villages were incredible, with amazing food. We would happily come back.

We had a fantastic time at this new but still rustic feeling and spacious property. There were 5 of us and there was plenty of space for us throughout the place. Really well managed by StayCotswold too, very easy to book and detailed instructions on access to the property and checking in. Everything was perfect. I would highly recommend the property and StayCotswolds too.

The Byre is an old property reinvented to the highest standards within an idyllic farming hamlet.
It’s the old Cotswolds with a new twist and within 10 mins drive of the town of Cirencester where dining and shopping rub shoulders with Roman history.
8 / 10Excellent·May 2024
We really enjoyed our stay at The Byre. Some feedback that may be useful. The showers had wire baskets that were held on by suction caps. If something heavy was put in the basket (a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of shower gel), they fell off. We couldn't find any seat pads for the outside chairs. We were really lucky with the weather.
