Birthday Treat

Lovely cottage. Very peaceful. But a very quiet area and it was a shame the pub across the road was closed for refurbing under new management. Took a while to get a uber to go into bourton on the water. A bit far to walk. But the overall a lovely place and cottage. I would recommend

Great Stay at the Hayloft

We stayed at the Hayloft for three nights and really enjoyed ourselves. The village of Cold Aston is lovely and a short drive to some of the popular tourist areas of the Cotswolds, like Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and The Slaughters. The property is gorgeous and the unit itself is beautifully renovated and very comfortable. It's well appointed with everything that we needed. We'd been traveling for over a month at that point, so the combo washer/dryer was a nice thing to have. We would definitely stay there again.

Lovely stay, great place

We had a lovely stay in the Hayloft, it was a nice place for us to stay for 4 nights. It had everything we needed. Kitchen was wel equipped. WiFi was strong enough to make video calls without any problems. Location in the Cotswolds is quite central. Would recommend this place!

Great stay in Cold Astin

The location was excellent, very quiet and yet easily accessible via a short drive to all the villages. Bourton on the water was a 5 minute drive. All amenities were provided, the bed and the lounges were most comfortable and above all it was impeccably clean. Highly recommended. We loved it. Would love to stay again.

Super Stay in the Cotswolds

The booking process, the accommodation and everything else was terrific. The whole booking process was easy to follow and full of useful information. The accommodation was excellent - clean, spacious with everything we needed including a washer/dryer combo in the kitchen. The sitting/dining area was very large and comfortable with plenty of room to keep suitcases out of the way. The bedroom was romantic but does have limited headroom at the sides but that was not an issue for us. Location of the property was easy to find and access was easy. The Plough Inn across the road is no longer open for food and drinks so you do need to drive to other locations for a pub meal - not an issue for us but worth noting.

Cotswolds stay

The Hayloft was amazing! It had everything we needed. The owner really supplied everything for our comfort. We enjoyed staying there and would stay again. It was a great location to explore the villages. We loved the style and charm of the building. You enter through a gate and the grounds outside are lovely. We felt really secure there.

Comfortable and well-located

Very comfortable stay in a lovely location, within easy reach of beautiful Cotswold hotspots. Pint of milk in the fridge was a welcome gesture although a freezer compartment in the fridge would have been perfection. Bath robes provided was a nice touch- could have done with a hook on the bedroom door to hang them on. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Relaxing in the Hayloft

We spent unforgettable days in a beautiful and lovingly decorated holiday retreat. Every corner spoke of warmth and care, making us feel right at home. Surrounded by silence, far from the rush of everyday life, we found true peace. The location was perfect—a gateway to nature’s quiet wonders and the charm of quaint little villages. And just a short drive away, the breathtaking beauty of the Cotswolds unfolded before us. We carry the memories of this time in our hearts and look forward to returning one day.

Bedroom assault course

A lovely location with a generous twin sofas sitting room, but with a bedroom that has no headroom. Thus one cannot stand upright at the side of the bed. If you try, as we did the first morning, one cracks ones head on hard wooden beams. The shower is also difficult as another beam is positioned to inflict pain. I am 6ft I should add. I would recommend the property, but only with a clear warning about the lack of headroom.

Fantastic apartment in perfect location

Cold Aston is a very quiet and beautiful little village ideally situated to visit the Cotswolds. The Hayloft is very nice, has a fully equipped kitchen, a large living room, beautiful new bathroom and a cosy bedroom. Yes the beams are low in some places but we are 1.75 and 1.85 meter and had no problems. The quality standards are high and has everything you need to make your stay very comfortable. The parking in the back is spacious and the garden amazing. My only very minor suggestions would be a holder in the shower for shampoo and soap. Woud definitely recommend!

Amazing converted barn

We loved our mini getaway to the hayloft, the beds and sofa were extremely comfortable. The place was warm and the shower has no issues. The roof height did not bother us at all husband is 5ft11. The only flaw I would say is that the kitchen area didn't supply any basic condiments or tea there was only filtered coffee and when you've travelled 3 hours sometime all you need is a cuppa, (bring some basic supplies with you as nearest local shop is bourton on water. apart from this everything else was top form and a great location

Amazing stay at The Hayloft

We really enjoyed our stay at The Hayloft. It was well equipped and comfortable. It is a beautiful property, very clean with everything you should need. It was extremely hot when we were there and the windows had been opened and a fan left running to cool the property. It is a great location in a beautiful village.
