Holiday Rental Description

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.

Home truths:
*The hosts have a further three cottages on the farm sleeping 2-4 in each - ask if you'd like to book more than one of these for your trip
*The garden is shared so you may spot guests in other cottages and apartments out your window
*While the home does not have a standard freezer, there is a small freezer box
*As this home is in a rural location, the television signal can be patchy
*Situated on a working farm, you may hear some animal and machinery noise
*The kitchen is compact so it's best suited to light meals
