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.

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.

Beautiful, very well maintained, cosy cottage with everything we needed and more. The owners have really thought carefully about everything. A lovely welcome basket with all the essentials and even a loaf of freshly baked gluten free bread which I didn't even ask for but the owners had noted my allergy. Dog treats and bowls for the dog. Lamps and fairy lights put on to welcome us in and the owners themselves came to say hello and to ask if we needed anything. A perfect location for exploring the area and some great recommendations on where to eat out. We really can't think of anything negative. Would thoroughly recommend.

My husband and I spent a weekend at The Barn by the Ford for my 30th birthday. We had the best weekend and it was just so perfect. The cottage had absolutely everything we needed and there was even a little surprise waiting for me for my birthday! It was in the perfect location and near to everything we wanted to do. Our stay was everything we could have wished for and more.
