There’s no need to rush at this rustic old barn in the Cotswolds countryside. As you cross through the secret garden and step inside, you’ll understand. The ancient oak beams speak of a time when this home was originally the annexe to the larger barn next door, and the vaulted ceiling adds space to this studio-sized apartment. The windows look onto the shared garden, where the outdoor bench quickly became our favourite spot for an afternoon cuppa. The petit kitchen has all the necessities for a quick meal, and we couldn’t wait to snuggle down in the huge soft bed after a busy day exploring. Speaking of exploring, you’re on a working farm here and your hosts are more than willing to show you around and a few country walks are on the cards with an Iron Age fort just next door. The cities of Bath and Bristol are only half an hour’s drive away, the perfect distance for a day trip.

Host


This home is managed by Caroline

This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. In 2018, Caroline and Jason began renovating their barn with dreams of creating a home away from home in the countryside. In our opinion, they definitely achieved that. They believe the countryside and natural surroundings are integral to the guest experience, and they adore sharing it with visitors to the area. Caroline and Jason live in the barn, but will respect your privacy at all times.
