The only reason I put good instead of excellent is because the beds are not king sized as listed (as far as an American king - perhaps UK sizing is different) and although a dryer is listed as an amenity, there is only a washer w/ drying line ##### Diana B.

The accommodations, Clapton and nearby villages were all straight out of a storybook. My wife and I had a wonderful time with our four teenage daughters exploring Clapton-on-the-Hill and nearby communities. Our only regret was not extending our stay for a few more days...

The Barn is a delightful place to stay and much impressed my American visitor. It is exquisitely furnished with many lovely touches and is clean as clean can be. The host was responsive and access was easy. The heating worked and the beds were so comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here. It is a small quiet village, but easy access (by car) to all Cotswold towns and villages. A gift for walkers - access to many paths from the house. Thank you Janey for sharing this wonderful property. ##### Barbara R.

The pictures don’t do the property justice. Comfortable, homey, had everything you could possibly want, attention to detail was extraordinary, comfortable rooms and beds, spacious, immaculate kitchens living area, beautifully manicured lawns and orchard. Honestly, the photos don’t do this property justice. We will absolutely book here again. Lovely 40 min walk through fields into bourton on the water, an easy car ride to visit nearby villages and restaurants. Only hiccup was finding the property once we reached the intersection coming in a different way, but was simple enough given how small the village center is :). Incredibly relaxing stay, we are filled with gratitude. ##### Lydia Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deni M. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Cotswolds stay The Barn is nestled in a quiet Cotswold community away from the more tourist-heavy towns. All the amenities are present. The property is beautifully furnished, comfortable, and allows for off-street parking behind a gate. We would definitely choose the Barn should we again decide to visit the Cotswolds area. There are plenty of places to explore off the main roads, (which we felt were too narrow for the allowed speed of 60 MPH, so we kept to about 30 when driving the area, as people are walking dogs and wildlife is often present). While exploring, we found the view of neighboring farms to be spectacular, and bought fresh eggs and honey from roadside stands. It's about a 10 minute drive from the Barn to larger communities for dinner, shopping, etc. A truly perfect place!! ##### Deni M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne M. 5 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Barn- beautiful location with lots of local walking opportunities, especially dog walking, near to both Bourton on the Water and Stow on the Wold and a beautifully appointed barn which felt like a real home from home. We would love to return as we didn't get round to visiting all the places we intended to as there is so much to see and do in the surrounding area. Clapton itself is very quiet and there's no local amenities to speak of but it's only a short drive to civilisation! Thanks to the owners for such a fantastic holiday let, definitely one of the best we have stayed in. ##### Joanne M.

We stayed for three days at the beginning of June, while on holiday from New Zealand. Our London-based son, daughter-in-law, baby, and their whippet stayed with us in the main house, and on one night, friends from Bristol stayed in the Shepherds Hut. The property is beautifully furnished, both indoors and outdoors, and a full kitchen is equipped with plenty of kitchenware. The appliances are top rate. The beds are super comfortable with generous bathrooms. The garden was in full bloom.The location is top rate. We toured around many of the popular Cotswolds villages, but Clapton on the Hill is a secret to most tourists, so we really enjoyed the serenity of our location. If you do need to stock up with food etc, Burton on the Water is very close by. We really enjoyed walking around the hamlet – especially the gorgeous church and churchyard. There is a little contemplation green space adjacent to the churchyard, where we all sat late one afternoon in the sun, enjoying conversation and agreeing that the barn was a most excellent accommodation choice. Janey the host, is welcoming and responsive. Although we did not meet Janey in person, we talked via text.If you have a toddler, the circular staircase in the centre of the house will be a major fun attraction, as we found out, but it just means a bit more watching out. Without a doubt, we totally recommend this property. ##### Jayne K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicky H. 17 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous place to stay when in the Cotswolds Janey’s place is a gorgeous place to stay, a stunning area of the Cotswolds and ideal for groups that have their own transport. Lovely garden area to sit and enjoy the long warm evenings with a glass of wine. Bedrooms were nice and spacious and the Orchard End snug was really cosy and spacious enough for two. Surrounding area is beautiful however you need transport to get anywhere as there isn’t anything to do in Clapton-on-the-Hill. Burton on the Water is a short drive away, should you prefer a taxi a people carrier for 6 people will cost you £35 - £40 per journey. Walking into Burton on the Water will take you approx. 45 mins across the fields, it is a really enjoyable walk. We felt relaxed as soon as we arrived and had a great weekend. Janey is a superb host and responds to any queries promptly. We would highly recommend Janey’s place for a visit to the Cotswolds. ##### Nicky H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron T. 16 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful countryside getaway My family and I were looking for a quiet, quaint place to stay in the Cotswolds and this ticked every box for us. The property was like a setting out of a movie. The house was perfect, well laid out and well kept. Every appliance you may need (including a clothes washer, no dryer though) was included. It can’t really stress how cool this house was and how beautiful the grounds are. My oldest son slept in the “shepherds hut” and loved it. The small village didn’t have any restaurants or pubs but that leant to the quiet and peacefulness of the setting. There are walking paths nearby and you can get to Bourton on the water (you have to spend some time here), Stow on the Wild, Upper and Lower Slaughter (Lower Slaughter almost doesn’t seem real) and easily. It really was a perfect location for us to explore. We didn’t spend much time at the house because we were out exploring but it f we ever get the chance we will definitely be back. Can’t say enough about this place. Don’t hesitate, just book it today!! ##### Aaron T.
