DescriptionHoliday home This delightful holiday property set in a quiet location within the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, a short distance from Burford. The property is presented to a very high standard with seven bedrooms, three with ensuite shower rooms, a further two with ensuite toilet and basin and one family bathroom available making it absolutely prefect for large group gatherings - be they friends or family. Internally the property retains many period features along with countless contemporary touches to give this a real high quality, minimalist feel. An element that particularly appealed to us was the large ground floor which has the feeling of being 'open plan' but actually has separate 'rooms' and thus creates a sense of being together without all the noise that this can sometimes bring! Similarly appealing are the large gardens to the rear of the property, which the owners have thoughtfully added a hot tub, skittles and table tennis which are just as much fun for friends (adults) as they are families with children! A great choice.
There is a maximum of 14 guests allowed at this property. Infants not included in this number and there are two cots available.

Area Upper Brize, Oxfordshire is a short drive away from Burford. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located mid-way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit. The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past.
Region Visitors to the Cotswolds have long treasured memories of charming towns and villages built from the famous honey-coloured stone, it now boasts a thriving community of contemporary artists working from studios and shops throughout the area.

The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped for people who plan to cook.. We discovered the amazing park just across the main road which has a wonderful adventure playground and great paths for joggers. The nearby Masons Arms was a friendly local pub and in warmer months the outdoor space would definitely be very nice to use.

Lovely place for all family to stay.. Great facilities.
While this barn do allow dogs to stay be weary of the additional charge and what it covers. Our dog did get some mud on the bed sheets which we were charged to replace to the tune of £80 rather than a dry clean.
We'd paid an additional £20 per dog to stay and this wasn't considered when deducting the cost of replacing the sheets.
We like to take our dogs with us on holiday and this is somewhere we wouldn't come back to on the basis of above experience.

Malt Barn was a bit tricky to find from the directions we were sent.. The oven was so complicated to use you needed to work at NASA! But these were very minor issues as the accommodation was superb and better equiped than our own homes. Right down to a cupcake stand which we needed for my birthday cupcakes! We were all very impresed.
The hot tub building was out of action which we weren't advised about but the hot tube was still usable so that was fine.
Pub the Mason's Arms down the road was very good value for Sunday lunch.
