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.

This was our 4th visit with a 5th planned in December . We love this little gem it's a great place to stay with friends or family perfect for 2 couples or a family of 4. Furnished to high spec it's an entertaining barn with the open plan layout and log burner you don't want to leave it! The bedrooms are beautiful and beds and bedding so comfy and powerful showers and lovely bathrooms. The pub over the road is ideally located too and I would recommend for food if you fancy a meal out. Karen and Paul are perfect hosts . Thanks both, my parents loved the barn as much as we do xx

What a find the Old Post House Barn is. A real "home from home" everything you could possibly wish for in a holiday home is here and is it excellently located for all the Cotswolds has to offer. It's a really good base whether sight-seeing, walking or cycling. We brought our road bikes and headed east on the relative flat of the Vale of Evesham before heading up and down the more challenging hills of the Cotswolds & at the end of the ride we could safely leave our bikes indoors. Karen is very friendly, with lots of helpful advice when we needed it. We thoroughly recommend this place.

I absolutely LOVED my stay at the barn. The bedrooms are huge with comfortable beds and bedding, spotless facilities, a spacious lounge and kitchen area upstairs. The facilities are modern but set within a rustic atmosphere so you definitely feel like you're living in luxury in the countryside! Can I move in?

Karen and Paul made us feel very welcome on our stay at the old post house barn. The barn is fantastic, cosy, and luxurious. Slept incredibly well, the beds are super comfy!! The pub across the road does good pub grub and we enjoyed many county walks. The kitchen is well equipt and the log burner is a welcome addition. Would definitely recommend the barn and will be visiting again! Thank you Karen and Paul


Debbie, Dartford Kent

Wonderful luxurious cottage in a lovely Cotswold village. Hosts were wonderful and made us feel very welcome. Great pub across the road serving good food. Will definitely visit again.

Local points of interest from Karen & Paul Rowley

  • Walker's paradise with the stunning Cotswold Way close by, along with many other beautiful walks. From the barn walk to the top of Bredon Hill, one of the largest outlier Cotswolds or wander up Dumbleton Hill with its famous cricket pitch.
  • 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.
  • Dangerously close to the barn is our local, The Star Inn! Good pub grub with two for one offers, Specials menus featuring locally reared pork or game, vegetarian dishes etc. Live music in The Snug every month. Real ales & good selection of gins to try.
