Scotland end barn is an amazing place to get the family together for quality time, which is so important with lives being so busy. The barn has plenty of room for our three generations family to come together as well have a bit of quite down time if needed. Thank you.
Really lovely location. Well stocked kitchen. Clean. Kids loved the open garden and we randomly got to see the red arrows flying over which was very cool
We had such a nice time away with some friends. The property host was absolutely incredible. Fast at getting back to us, and extremely attentive. We had a really really good time and the house was beautiful. Will definitely be returning back in the future…11/10
Spent a great week here at the end of August. We were a group of four adults and for teens and had ample space. The property is immaculate inside and out and has a great pool! Absolutely loved it and will come back again. Highly recommended!
We stayed for 5 days with 3 young children and had a fantastic time. The house is very clean, excellent facilities/ appliances, lovely lay out and great gardens/ separate play room. Caroline is a fantastic host, so helpful and quick to respond. We’ll be back!
We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend in this fantastic property. Everything from the kitchen facilities to the wood fire heater to the location was excellent.
The property was amazing. The host was very friendly, quick to respond and was accommodating of our additional requests. We’ll definitely be back in the future.
If you are looking to spend quiet, considered, mindful time with any group for almost any purpose, I can’t imagine a better location. Caroline’s home is perfection. So thankful my family & I were able to spend time there together.
This property is just simply amazing!
Modern, very well equipped and in the most idyllic location.
The communication with the owner previous to our stay was quick and extremely helpful and we were made to feel very welcome.
We’re already thinking about when we can next come! Thank you
We stayed here to celebrate our wedding with immediate family, kids and dog. Was a great house with plenty of space to hang out. Very comfortable and definitely right up our street in terms of style and peacefulness.
Walking distance to local shop which is very well stocked, two good pubs, Hook Norton Brewery and local deli. Caroline was helpful when needed and even offered us a late check out. Would consider staying here again as a treat.
Many thanks Caroline!
.A group of five friends stayed at Scotland End Barn – a gorgeous 5 bedroom gated barn in Hook Norton for two nights at the beginning of May. The accommodation is extremely comfortable in every way. You could see that the host Caroline had thought of everything , to make out stay perfect. The barn has two large reception rooms. One houses a big tv, which has Netflix plus a dvd library. The other has a bookcase filled with a variety of books. The five bedroom property comprises of three ensuite bedrooms. The fourth and fifth bedroom share a bathroom. (Although there is another shower room in the studio outside). All bathrooms had shower/hand gel and shampoo/conditioner. There is a large kitchen /diner with coffee machine, dishwasher, large modern oven and large fridge freezer. All the essentials you might need tea, coffee, cooking oils, condiments, tin foil, washing up liquid. Utility room has washing machine, dryer, iron and board. There is also a cloakroom downstairs. The area outside was quiet and peaceful. There were sun loungers around the pool and garden dining furniture close by. There is lots of parking available which was great. The pool was lovely and a good temperature. One thing to note is there is an extra charge to use the pool for maintenance, heating and insurance. Catherine also telephoned when we arrived and the next day to make sure everything was ok. There is also a folder filled with information about the house and surrounding area. The barn was
Perfect weekend house to relax with family and dogs
This house had the most amazing beds! The whole place was very comfortable, well-equipped with modern appliances and very dog-friendly. It was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend with the family and the dogs.
Well appointed and laid out property on the edge of Hook Norton, with plenty of secure garden for dogs to roam, and within a short walking distance of the brewery and local pubs. Games room above garage and swimming pool keep teens amused for a while, but there is little in the local area for them before Oxford, 45 minutes drive away. Ideal for fans of country walks and good local beer!
This was a big hit with our family. Beautiful spot, clean and very comfortable for all. Owner was so helpful with the ins and outs of our travel and we felt well-cared for. Highly recommend!
Scotland end barn suited our family requirements extremely well. I am an above knee amputee requiring a wheelchair, and although there are considerable difficulties I was able to overcome most. The rest of the family are all active and had a wonderful time and are keen to return. The pool was a great hit with my athletic daughter and equally my granddaughter who is under two. Caroline is extremely helpful and quick to respond to enquiries. The space is really refreshing and we all had a great time.
I booked this house to celebrate my dads 60th birthday. It was the perfect setting for a getaway. The house was lovely, immaculate and was very well equipped providing everything we needed. The property was very infant friendly and very helpfully had a highchair. The host was very accommodating and willing to help us when needed throughout our stay. Would definitely come back in the future and recommend this property to others.
We spent a weekend at Scotland End Barn in March for a joint 50th birthday. It was beautiful and exactly as outlined in the details on VRBO. Caroline (the host) was so helpful and responsive before the trip and very flexible allowing us early and late check-ins as there were no other guests. A beautiful and spacious house and easy walking to a lovely pub (The Sun Inn). Brunch at Hook Norton Brewery was a stand-out as well. Didn’t have to drive anywhere once we arrived. Highly recommend.
Caroline was a fantastic host, who frequently checked in to see if the group needed anything. The property was exceptionally clean, spacious and well equipped. Would throughly recommend.
