A five-bar gate leads to a private gravel driveway and the pale, time-weathered Cotswold stone of Crofter's Barn. The barn lies end on to the drive, and two stone steps lead up to a stable-hinged front door. Inside, the open-plan ground floor is spacious and filled with light from the dining room extension, which boasts huge windows on three sides and views of the garden. The cosy living area is warmed by a wood burning stove sitting within a beautiful original fireplace, and polished stone floors reflect the heritage of the building but ensure it also evokes a modern feel. There's a compact but well-equipped kitchen and a ground floor cloakroom. Upstairs is no less enchanting with a spacious and supremely comfortable bedroom with views over the rear garden, and a generously proportioned shower room. Crofter's Barn enjoys the luxury of both space and privacy. To the rear of the barn, accessed from the driveway and the dining area is the garden which is enclosed by stone walls and laurel and conifer hedging. The patio area sits on one side and is surrounded by fragrant lavender bushes. Bordering the lawn is a long, trough-style stone water feature with fountains. Spend warm summer evenings enjoying the fresh air, with the sound of water trickling nearby and the echo of birdsong in the trees.Ground Floor Entrance: From the stable-hinged front door, there are three stone steps which lead down into an open-plan living room and dining area. Stairs to the first floor rise from the right. Living Room: This charming living room is both cosy and light and airy. Original timbers and stone walls take centre stage, as does a wood burning stove that sits perfectly within a Cotswold stone fireplace. White shuttered windows grace three walls allowing the room to fill with light. Two comfy two-seater sofas, with cushions and soft throws, face each other in front of the fire, a wooden chest sits between them, ideal for card games, placing a drink or a good book. When it comes to reading there is plenty of choice, with two bookcases filled with a selection of novels. There is also a selection of board games, a TV with an integrated DVD player and Freeview. This is a calming and restful room, a lovely place for relaxing evenings after a day of exploration. Dining Area: The open-plan space flows into the dining area, which is a stylish extension of the original barn. With a vaulted ceiling, large windows on all three sides and two sets of double doors to the garden, this is an open and sunny room. The dining table seats four comfortably and there are two rattan occasional chairs where you can sit looking out to the water feature and garden. Underfloor heating keeps the polished stone tiles warm, whatever the weather. Kitchen: The compact but well-equipped kitchen has everything you need for a self-catering stay including a gas hob, oven, fridge-freezer, washer-dryer, and a full-size dishwasher. There is plenty of storage within the white, shaker-style cupboards and a variety of equipment for preparing delicious meals. Cloakroom: Behind the stairs, there is a ground floor cloakroom with a WC and a storage cupboard that houses the boiler and vacuum cleaner.First Floor The stairs are carpeted and lead to a galleried landing. Bedroom One: The lovely room is decorated in shades of pale grey, white and duck egg blue and is spacious and well-appointed. The comfy king-size bed stands against an exposed stone wall, which is a striking feature and is made up with soft white linen, soft cushions, and a cosy throw. There is plenty of storage with a wardrobe and a chest of drawers along with two bedside tables with reading lamps. The deep-set window looks out to the rear garden, with glimpses of the countryside beyond. Bathroom / Shower Room: A stylish and spacious bathroom features a large step-in shower cubicle, WC, and a vanity unit with storage. The large Velux window lets in plenty of natural light. The light switch is actually a pressure sensor tile in the same spot you would expect the light switch to be, just press the tile and there will be light!Outside One of the best aspects of Crofter's Barn is the amount of privacy with the outside space. To the front of the barn is a spacious gravel drive with plenty of parking, to the rear is a fully private garden, enclosed by high hedging and a stone wall. A patio sits to one side, encircled with lavender and the little bistro table and chairs is a lovely spot for evening drinks. Beyond this, there is a lawned area, bordered by a long, stone water feature. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

It was comfortable, clean and an ideal location for exploring the Cotswolds. However, this is our fourth visit to the Cotswolds and the only place where we have not received a welcome pack. A few essentials like milk, bread etc would have been nice after a long day travelling. The only other thing was that the windows in the sunroom could have done with a clean. However, we would have no reservations in returning to Crofters Barn or recommending it to others. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 18 Nov 2024 #### Getaway My husband and I went to Crofters Barn for the first time. Lovely relaxing getaway for a few days. Good location to visit Bourton on Water, Stow-on-Wold and other locations if you have time. Lots of good walks as well. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 31 Jul 2024 #### A brilliant comfortable stay in a perfect Cotswolds location This property was excellent and a perfect place for peace and quiet. It's close enough to all the main areas we wanted to visit in the Cotswolds. The property was very well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The water feature in the garden was a very nice bonus ! We will definitely stay here again!

Nice little village well situated for exploration of the Cotswolds. Check in and instructions were clear. Gastropub across the street is a nice touch :) ##### Scott S.

A shame most of the kitchen cupboards were locked leaving only one cupboard for you to store your own shopping. Everything is there that you could possibly need and would recommend this property for a great stay in the cotswolds. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 23 Feb 2024 #### Great accommodation in an excellent location Clean and tidy. Comfy bed. Good shower. Easy to find. The downside was the pub opposite was closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren P. 11 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful place & convenient location We would definitely stay at this property again. It was spacious, well lit, and clean. The bed was comfortable, and views were really nice. The communication with the property manager was not superb when we arrived, but there was an emergency contact available who got back to us relatively quickly. ##### Lauren P. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 5 Mar 2025 #### Perfect Cotswold location The Crofters Barn was a perfect location to visit the Cotswols. Cheltenham, Chipping Norton, Stowe, and even Bath were all within striking distance. The cottage is of high quality. Wood burner excellent and kindling etc provided - enough logs for two evenings. TV could do with an update. Would we return - yes. Big bonus was the Feathered Nest dining pub over the road. They even gave us wood for the woodburner on our last night! Terrific break. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda M. 9 Aug 2024 #### Great cottage and well placed to discover the cotswolds Was worried about some previous reviews regarding cleanliness, but the place was spotless when we arrived. Sofas were comfy and it was nice that pets aren't allowed as you didn't get that 'old dog' smell that you do in some cottages. Would highly recommend, but you do need a car to explore. Nice a quiet. Only downside was the lack if channels on the TV - we assumed there would be freeview (so BBCiPlayer at least), but it was just tv channels, so that was a bit disappointing. All in all a lovely stay though. ##### Linda M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 14 Apr 2025 #### Lovely location In general the property was good but required a bit of attention to detail in particular the windows which were very dirty. Bed linen and towels a bit tired and a bed throw which looked tatty and unclean. No soap at all in the bathroom so it was a good job we took our own. The Welcome Pack consisted of 2 x packs of cheap biscuits and some milk ! We have stayed in many many cottages ( including one of yours at Christmas which was excellent in Charlbury ) and have come to expect certain standards for this sort of price and sadly this one did not come up to the mark.

What a perfect Cotswolds retreat! It is cozy, not cramped, tucked in with the other pretty homes in quiet Nether Westcote. We had a fire each night after walking for miles. The location is ideal for exploring other towns including Stonehenge (an hour and a half but worth it) The Feathered Nest Inn is right across the street for a cocktail or dinner - although we cooked in as well. Everything you need is in house. Our lone complaint was our inability to contact the local housekeeper Debbie by either phone, text or email. Fortunately, Bolthole Retreats was very responsive to our needs when we could not reach Debbie. ##### Steven K.

The property is spacious and perfect for a couple. The temperature was chilly and the wood burner was excellent. It felt very cosy throughout. The kitchen was pretty well equipped. Perhaps there could be a few more cup and glass choices but it was largely well catered for. Filter coffee was possible! The bed is a hard bed and that was the only matter that bothered me really. My girlfriend prefers it that way so was happier. The location is good, with a few walks from the door - there is a handy walking guide left for use. The circular walks are well worth doing and try and get into as many pubs as you can. All were excellent. The Feathered Nest is expensive across the road but the food was delicious and atmosphere friendly. Whilst it has a pub bit there is no noise from it. Thoroughly recommend. ### 6/10 Okay #### Amelia J. 28 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Under lock and key Ive stayed in a few bolthole properties and quite dissappointed with this one. Entrance needs to be wider. We had someone parking opposite the drive - making it hard to get in. Kitchen seem to have more cupboards locked up than able to use. Which made the layout odd. Only 1 log and 1 fire lighter left for the wood burner which seems very petty! Even more so when by the front door theres a log pile (locked up) with all the glass and not much furniture (pics are done to look cozy) the space is very cold! So we wouldve appreciated being able to use the wood burner properly. And also found it odd not to have a guest book! We always enjoy reading them, and finding out the places other reccommend… maybe this is a north england thjng? ##### Amelia J.

It is perfectly located for our needs and we always find it presented in excellent condition. Usually the weather is much warmer than this summer, and as a result we always pack our own loungers so we can sit out in the garden. If your visit coincides with a spell of good weather, and you do wish to sit out, we would recommend you do the same as us. We are keen walkers and there are lots of trails in the area, many of which you can do directly from the front door. Most include a welcome refreshment break half way around. Many of the area's attractions are only a short drive away too and we have visited many locations over the years. Stow can get too busy on a weekend however, with parking near impossible. The train station at Kingham is only a short drive away and can get you to Oxford and onto London for those who want to venture further afield. Book tickets to London as far in advance as possible, to get the best deal and always (always) book seats too. It's a lovely spot and we will no doubt return for further visits. We have no hesitation in recommending Crofter's Barn which if it does nothing else, will let you brush up on your "reversing through a gate" skills! ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary B. 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A slice of Cotswold peace and pleasure The property did not disappoint, from the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and at home. Beautifully decorated and in such a peaceful location. Only 15 mins from all major places to visit! The only suggestion I would make is to fit a bath, shower is big and really good but there is space for a bath under the skylight ##### Gary B.

Absolutely perfect for a child free weekend away in the Cotswolds. Just being a stone’s throw from the fantastic Feathered Nest country pub was the icing on the cake, we will definitely be booking again. ##### Jason P.

Great location, and a very quiet area. The property was exactly as advertised. Would definitely stay there again - highly recommended. And 5 Stars to Bolthole Retreats - they are great to work with. ##### William C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen B. 9 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property Fantastic base for exploring the Cotswolds and exactly as described. Private garden and ample parking meant this was a stress free stay. Local shops are a drive away so take essentials or organise a delivery as I did. Excellent pub metres away which is on the expensive side but well worth a visit (The Feathered Nest). Just perfect for relaxing in the evening. ##### Karen B.
