The garden is quite large, fully enclosed so safe for dogs and children, and equipped with copious amounts of garden furniture and some outdoor equipment for children. Inside there is a fabulous kitchen/dining room with all the equipment one could wish for and plenty of crockery, cutlery, etc. There are 2 very comfortable lounges with games, TV, etc. Upstairs the 5 individual bedrooms are extremely comfortable and spacious, 2 of them with en-suite facilities and there is a large family bathroom. The house has a wonderful homely feel and there are interesting decorative objects everywhere, from pretty bonnets to a full-sized rocking horse. I felt I could give my grandchildren a history lesson about all these artifacts from a bygone age! The house was spotless and well-maintained. I think every member of our group from the 7 year-old to the 72 year-old loved the cottage and our stay there. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean-Baptiste H. 12 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent stay for my 30th We hired the house to celebrate my 30th birthday with family.

It is very well equipped for a holiday stay with a fantastic kitchen, toys for the kids, bbq etc and has very comfortable beds. The garden is well maintained with plenty of space. A nice welcome basket from the host who was also in touch to check if we had any issues (which we didn’t). Very well located for visiting different areas of the Cotswolds. We would stay again. ##### Fiona D.

We shall return in the Summer as wonderful for dogs too. We had 6 guests with us too come along Thank you ##### Catherine H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 7 Mar 2025 #### Family Weekend Gathering Barnsley Cottage is a very comfortable and traditional Cotswolds cottage. Ideally located, with a good pub and luxury hotel literally on the doorstep. Great base for touring the southern Cotswolds and Cirencester. Accommodation is spacious and easily provides enough room for large family groups. Bedrooms/bathrooms are great and the king size beds should guarantee a good nights sleep. The host, Annabel, was very attentive and welcoming. The welcome pack was a nice touch. Large, enclosed garden. Decor, furnishings, utensils etc are more “family house” than created holiday let and when you stay there you feel you are using someone’s private house which has a lot of personal items around. We found that charming and involving but it might not suit everyone if looking for more “perfect” decor and amenities such as you would find in a hotel. Overall a very nice time was had by all our family (aged from 70 to 7) and we would recommend Barnsley Cottage to family groups. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 19 Sept 2022 #### We really enjoyed our stay! Seven of us stayed. All very comfortable and the house had everything we could wish for. The dog loved the garden. Giffords Circus was on at Cirencester one night and was really fun. Beautiful walks from the house too. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane O. 28 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday Celebrations We stayed here for my partners 50th birthday celebration with parents and teenagers. There was plenty of room for everyone to both have their own space and to come together. Lots of lovely touches such as books and board games and a perfect location to visit the beautiful Cotswolds. We will definitely be back! ##### Diane O.

The house was so comfortable and spacious for us, and great to have outside space for the kids to run around in. The home was well stocked and we loved sitting in the living room with a fire going while we played board games in the evening. Cute little pub/restaurant down the street for dinners out. Close to Bibury and Burford and Bourton on the Water, which we spent our days exploring. Really comfortable stay and would be happy to stay there again!

The house was exceptionally well equipped and a good size for a group of 10 + baby + dog. The owner was very helpful and dealt with a couple of minor niggles promptly. Would thoroughly recommend.

Barnsley Cottage fully lived up to our expectations; beds very comfortable, great showers and plenty of space for everyone. Great location just a few miles from Cirencester town and park, both worth visits. Easy access to beautiful walks from the cottage meant happy dogs too! Thanks to the host Annabel for her local knowledge and efficiency. Hopefully we’ll return one day! ##### Siriol P.

It was my Mum's 80th Birthday and the cottage was perfect for our 3 families to get together and celebrate. The house is comfortable and spacious and in terms of equipment has absolutely everything (& I mean everything) that you could possibly want. Loved the big kitchen table for the Friday night meal we cooked in and for breakfast. Nice, big garden that especially in summer would be lovely The village is picture card perfect. We walked over to Bidbury which was a lovely walk and there's plenty of other options for rambling. The Village Pub (despite its stupid name) is super - we had a great meal & its very cosy in a traditional but contemporary way (make sure you book, it was busy.) There's also the Pig Hotel (Barnsley House) which personally I didn't see but my Mum & Dad said was very nice for a drink. (We would have tried their restaurant but it was full) Overall a great base to explore the Cotswolds Many thanks to Annabel for her friendly welcome, good comms, making herself available if we needed her (which we didn't as everything was sorted) and for arranging the perfect early Spring/late winter sunshine :) Oh, the dog thought it was great as well!! ##### Gavin B.

We enjoyed our family gathering very much. A home from home. The owner - Annabel made us very welcome. The children enjoyed it very much, particularly their bedrooms in the 'attic' & also playing in the garden. The garden is large & plenty of outdoor sitting eating areas. The kitchen is well provided for 10 people. Very good large solid wooden table. Plenty of fridge/feezer space.

Great place for a gathering & catchup whilst attending a family wedding at Cripps Barn wedding venue ( approx 1 1/2 miles away ). November rain prevented too much sightseeing but the house provided home comforts. ( Forthcoming bathroom make over will only improve the home comforts ) This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 15 Mar 2024 #### Charming cottage We really enjoyed our stay at Barnsley cottage. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for cooking. And the welcome hamper was a nice touch. It’s rare to find accommodation with so many bathrooms - great for bigger groups. Beds were all comfy and big! The snug had plenty of toys to entertain, which my son loved. Property was quite busy in terms of nicknacks, could do with a declutter and in some areas a dust in would be useful decor looked a bit tired in some areas. Lovely locations for walks and amenities nearby. Host was quick to respond and answer questions. Would recommend!

There were only six of us celebrating a 70th birthday therefore we didn’t use all the house. Could not believe the lovely welcome basket Prosecco and flowers that were waiting for us. We cooked steaks and a lovely chicken dish plus breakfast each morning. There was so much equipment there for our use. Would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Dawn R. 20 Feb 2022 #### February Half term stay 2022 Stayed with extended family over February half term to celebrate a big birthday. House was very homely and comfortable and host was always on hand to answer any questions. Bedrooms were all nice doubles and beds very comfortable with good bed linen. House was in a nice village outside of Cirencester. My only negative comment would be that in places, particularly the kitchen the house was a little cluttered. which at times made it difficult to find things. My Grandaughter enjoyed the snug with all the toys and we all enjoyed the log fire during the evening. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to go away or celebrate with close family. ##### Dawn R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Nyhavn Lakeside Cottage set on Isis Lake in the Cotswold Lakes - Pet Friendly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-New-Beautiful-Pet-Friendly-Lakeside-Lodge-And-The-Perfect-Cotswold-Retreat.h30096791.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Stunning Lakeside Lodge Within Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Stunning-Lakeside-Lodge-Within-Cotswold-Water-Park.h48216166.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratton House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Stratton-House-Hotel-Spa.h28411.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful 4 bed lakeside lodge in the Cotswolds.
