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

Caroline

The barn was absolutely perfect for our family weekend, exactly what we’d hoped for. It is so cosy and in such a perfect location, with lovely walks from the doorstep. Ideal midway point for us coming from London and Cheshire, we will definitely be planning another visit. Thank you Karen.


Leanda, Kent

What a gem, the barn is so comfortable, spotlessly clean and simply charming. It is in a fantastic location being just a short drive from beautiful chocolate box villages and stunning walks. The village pub just across the road from the barn is welcoming and serves excellent hearty pub grub. The cottage host was friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and the chilled fizz and primed log burner waiting for us were a lovely touch. We will definitely be returning, wonderful stay, thank you.


Amy, Kent

Such a beautiful barn conversion and place to stay. It was my first visit to the area and it didn’t disappoint . Karen is a very friendly host who gave us lots of information on places to visit. The Star Inn across the road is a lovely village pub. What a lovely place to stay!


Yvonne, Cardiff

An excellent base for exploring the area with luxury barn conversion to return to. Comfy beds, Woodburn, and everything we needed for our stay. Friendly welcome and village, and definitely plan to return.


Clare, Seaton

A lovely three days stay at last after having to cancel twice over the last 18 months; worth the wait to experience Karen and Paul’s friendly and generous welcome to their beautiful barn. We only scraped the surface of places to visit within half an hour’s journey, so will definitely be back again to further explore and relax in front of the wood burner and cross the road to tasty pub food at The Star. Then again, the very well equipped kitchen beckons too and the comfortable sofas and beds…… Thank you for all the little touches of welcome.
