About this cottage rental
The Barn By The Ford is a beautiful thatched holiday cottage which sleeps two guests, in one enchanting bedroom, with a stylish shower room. On the ground floor you will find a thoughtfully designed kitchen complete with countryside essentials such as an Aga and a marble-topped island, alongside charming touches including an optics bar for evening drinks. Upstairs, a cosy sitting room awaits with a velvet sofa and loveseat, and this leads into the romantic bedroom where a brass-framed bed, exposed stone walls and twinkling fairy lights create a truly magical retreat. The Barn By The Ford is a dog friendly holiday home, welcoming one medium sized dog. Whilst there is no outside space, the surrounding countryside and nearby village walks provide plenty of opportunities for four-legged guests to stretch their legs.

We stayed at the Barn for eleven days in April 26. From the moment we unlocked the door we knew that we had made the right choice. Everything we needed to enjoy our stay was provided, including a very generous and well thought out welcome present from the owners Gina & Simon. A perfect base to explore the Cotswolds and to relax after a long day discovering all the places to visit.

This has to be one of the best places I have stayed for a little weekend away. The owners contacted me prior to our arrival to introduce themselves and offer anything we needed.
On the day we arrived, the barn was completely spotless and we were greeted by fresh bread, milk, butter, honey and all the other essentials we may need during our stay, which was brilliant (not everywhere does this). I could have packed a lot more lightly!
The barn is well set up, with an open kitchen, spacious bathroom and a cosy lounge and comfy bedroom upstairs. The barn is beautifully nestled nearby a ford, which leads you to local country walks; the owner gave us some tips of some nice walks that we could do.
We also explored nearby towns and villages (by car), including Great Tew, Chipping Norton and Burford. We also visited National Trust sites with our passes at Chastleton House and Stowe Gardens which were about a 30-40 minute drive.
Overall, we were so impressed and we will definitely return again in the future. We appreciate everything that Gina & Simon did for us.

The barn by the ford was everything we had hoped for and didn’t disappoint.
A beautiful cozy cottage, with stunning walks all around.
Simon and Gina kindly left us a beautiful welcome basket, and the dog treats were a lovely touch too.
The perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful Cotswolds

We loved this cute cottage. It was pet friendly and worked well for our walks. There were nice local pubs to walk to and the owner made suggestions on where to visit. We had a wonderful hamper waiting for us which was much appreciated.
