Quiet16th Century Cotswold Barn, refurbished. Panoramic views on organic farm

This is a truly stunning property, newly renovated and refurbished to the highest standards throughout. It is extremely spacious with spectacular uninterrupted, south facing views of the Cotswold countryside. It is a very secluded and quiet location, backing onto ancient beech woods.

The barn is entered at split level onto a spiral stone staircase. Upstairs is a very large main bedroom, with oak wooden floors and comfy arm chairs.There are doorways leading to smaller second bedroom and bathroom with an iron roll top bath. The second bedroom contains bunk beds and is suited to 2 young (well behaved!) children under 10 years old ( under 30kg and five foot 5 for lower bunk)

Two sets of French windows open directly from the main bedroom onto an external balcony with completely uninterrupted 180 degree views of Cranham Common and stunning Painswick valley.

Downstairs is a flag stone floored (with under floor heating) open plan living room and kitchen. Two sets of French windows open onto the patio and garden, south facing and with the same fantastic panoramic views. There is a wood burner should you wish extra heat, and complimentary logs.

The barn has a built in Sonos speaker system so that you can play your own music, radio etc from your chosen device throughout the house. There is a selection of board games, DVD player and numerous DVDs.

A lawned garden area and stone terrace with table and chairs has been set aside for the exclusive use of the barn's guests. There is ample room for parking of vehicles as well as secure space in outbuildings for bicycles etc. We could even accommodate your horses with ample warning in the farm stables!

The property backs on to the ancient Buckholt beech woods. There are miles of beautiful walks immediately from the doorstep and a quintessential country pub within 5 minutes stroll. We are 200m from the Cotswold way.

Beautiful and peaceful spot
A great base for exploring the Cotswolds. The barn is lovely and comfortable. Truly the only drawback is the no-shower-only-bath set-up.

Fabulous Barn
A fabulous luxury barn conversion in a beautiful quiet countryside location attached to a farm. The barn is stunning and beautifully renovated with underfloor heating, a log burner and a roll top bath. It was difficult to wash hair in the bath as there was no shower head but it was bliss soaking after a days walking. There are amazing uninterrupted views from the terrace and the balcony in the bedroom across the valley and plenty of walks from the door. The local pub ( Black Horse) was a short walk away in the village and served excellent basic pub food. It was a real local pub and wevhad a delicious traditional Sunday roast in front of a cosy log fire ( booking recommended as the pub is very small and popular with locals). The barn is within easy reach of Stroud and Cheltenham fir shops and pottering around. We’d also recommend visiting the National Arboretum at Westonbirt ( about 30 mins drive) , walking the footpaths across Painswick golf course to the beacon for stunning views , walking to Sheepscombe for lunch at the Butchers Arms and visiting Gloucester ( cathedral and Docks). Carolyn was extremely helpful and sorted out a few minor issues quickly. A lovely area and great accommodation.

We had a fabulous three-night stay at Carolyn's lovely cottage. The views are just breathtaking, the bed super comfy and the kitchen has all you need for a short stay. We'll be back!

Stunning spot
Very nicely converted barn with amazing views makes this a really cosy and peaceful place to stay. You know that you're getting a top quality place with not much around but close enough to nearby towns not to feel too isolated. 2nd room is well described....not for older kids. Ours 8 and 10 were fine with it. Carolyn was a really helpful and responsive host who provided a lot of useful info up front and also was quick to respond to questions in advance and during the stay. Highly recommended.

Wonderful getaway for big birthday
An excellent stay in a beautiful location. Unfortunately we had a few issues receiving messages through the website from the owner, however, that aside the property itself was beautiful. Set in the most picturesque location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved our little visits from Hattie and Courgette. The property was perfect and idyllic cannot praise it high enough, it really is a five star property. The only thing I would add is a pair of oven gloves in the kitchen but that really is a minor thing. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely birthday getaway!
After initial problems checking in, we ended up having a lovely few days in the barn! We spent most evenings making the most of the amazing bathtub and the log fire. Carolyn was very helpful during our stay and was really appreciated. We are already talking about returning!
