The Experience

You are in the heart of a beautiful village – brimming with Cotswold stone walls, tiled roofs, hanging baskets, two churches, cricket ground and jolly pub. This converted 1651 barn shares the owners’ drive; Karen and Paul, green-fingered, open their garden for cream teas in June. Step in to find ground-floor bedrooms, not huge but with thick mattresses and goose down, one with a charming wrought-iron bed, and super bathrooms with travertine floors and glass-tiled showers. More stylishness awaits at the top of the central spiral stair, where ancient oak beams support a large luminous living space of spotlit walls, wooden floors, charcoal sofas… and books, games, retro CDs, DVDs, freeview TV and wood-burner for cosy evenings in. To the side is the kitchen, a convivial space in which cooks can chop and stir. Walks are marked and gloriously rural; Stratford (for theatres) and Cheltenham (festivals and races) are close. Karen, a keen runner and mountain biker, will help you plan routes, and Bredon Hill beckons between old thatched roofs – take time to discover more.

Reviews

Tony, Midhurst

The Old Post House Barn is a great place to stay in a lovely village. The accommodation was perfect for two couples, it was spacious and we had everything we need. The location is perfect for visiting this beautiful area, whether you are walking, exploring, visiting Tewkesbury or Evesham or going to the Prescott Hill Climb as we did. Karen is a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful and an excellent communicator. Thank you Karen, and we look forward to staying again.


Ashley, Somerset

A delightful property in a charming village. We enjoyed a great weekend, meeting some friends. Perfect for two couples, with a shower room each. Property was clean and well equipped. Mattresses were very comfortable and bedding is high quality, so we all enjoyed restful sleep. The Star pub, across the road, serves good food and staff were most welcoming, as we're the friendly locals. The property owner was most helpful, without being intrusive. All in all, a great place to stay.


Linda, Cuckfield, West Sussec

This is a great place to stay as the barn is located in a pretty village in the heart of the cotswolds. Karen has thought of everything you could possibly need and all the furnishings, bed linen etc are of the highest quality. Lots of lovely touches too, from fresh flowers and Prosecco to cosy dressing gowns. Karen is a really lovely host and we enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra night.


Joanne, Camberley

Lovely accommodation, perfect for two couples. Both bedrooms are on the ground floor and each has its own bathroom. Beds are really comfortable. Bathrooms are shower rooms which look brand new. Water pressure in showers is very good. Staircase is spiral but quite wide treads so fairly easy to use. Living area is large and comfortable. Very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Parking is good- one space, but extra parking nearby. Location is great for exploring the north end of the Cotswolds. Highly recommend.


Janet, London

A very comfortable three night stay for two couples. Great location, friendly, helpful owner. Highly recommend!

  • Visit the Cotswold's highest castle, Broadway Tower. On a clear day you can see up to 16 counties. Have a cream tea whilst watching the tame deer. Walk down the hill looking at views to die for. Shop your heart out in chic Broadway village below.
  • Go to Snowshill where Bridget Jones scenes were filmed in summer complete with artificial snow and christmas lights! Visit the fascinating Snowshill Manor, the ultimate hoarder's paradise from penny farthings to samurai swords!
  • Visit our beautiful restored 1930s cinema, The Regal, in Evesham. As well as all the latest films, see musicians, comedians and live sports and opera events. Delicious snacks and drinks delivered to your luxurious swivel seats, you won't want to leave!
  • Keen cyclists? Follow in the tracks of Tour of Britain cyclists over to Saxon Winchcombe. Cycle to beautiful Hidcote Manor Gardens or Croome Park. Visit in April and challenge your fitness with some serious offroading in our HONC mtb challenge.
