A perfect base for visiting the Cotswolds
We stayed at Barebones farm for our visit to the Cotswolds from the USA. The location was perfect for our day trips and it was close to town so we could wank to the shops and pubs. But more than that, the house was spectacular with everything we needed for a comfortable stay

Summer Family Gathering
Ideal house for a family get together. We were a group of 10 - grandparents parents, and young children. The spacious garden, and conservatory/living room provided a perfect area to spread out.
The kitchen is more than adequately stocked with equipment for self-catering.
We visited Sudeley Castle which has something to offer for everyone, including well maintained adventure playground.
Wonderful house right in Winchcombe. We had a lovely long weekend with 14 people easily accommodated in the well appointed Barebones Farm. Great location to explore Sudeley Castle, the wonderful local walks and the Cotswolds.

Splendid property, ideally located for the town of Winchcombe. Spacious and very well equipped including games and a huge selection of dvds! The garden is immaculate, dog friendly and secure.
Being greeted by the owner was pleasing and we would happily stay there again.

Wonderful
Highly recommend this property! We stayed as a group of adults and had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The house was spotless, with a well-equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. It’s a beautiful home with a gorgeous, well-maintained garden. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were lovely. The location is excellent—right in town with easy access to shops, pubs, and great walking routes. We’d love to come back!

Perfect location for a group gathering
Plenty of space. Beautiful garden. Well stocked kitchen. Cosy snug. Lots of bathrooms. Sunny conservatory. Parking for 5 cars.
Whilst the attic rooms are better suited for children the other 5 bedrooms are all very comfortable indeed.

Barebones Farm Whinchcombe
Had a great time at Barebones farm plenty of room and space for a family celebration for 12 people. Excellent kitchen and bathroom facilities. Would recommend staying here great garden for dogs. Lots to see and do in Whinchcombe its self . Would recommend a meal in the Lion pub a few doors away from Barebones.
Perfect place for intergenerational family holiday
Perfect accommodation for self catering holiday. Contact with our host was easy and prompt. We loved the mixture of twin and double beds and the walking option to village shops: bakery, butcher, supermarket. We had a wonderful holiday.

Excellent stay, lovely home
We had a very pleasant stay at the house and really enjoyed the open planned layout in a traditional building. The garden was a hit with the kids as well. Everything was clean and the bedrooms exceeded our expectations. The staff at Bolthole were also very responsive to any questions.

A fabulous stay
It was a great stay for 10 single adults as there were plenty of beds (4 singles in the attic) and a generous dining table.
The conservatory just off the kitchen was a lovely location to congregate and enjoy the view on to the beautiful garden.
The owners were nearby and very responsive and friendly. There was plenty of cooking paraphernalia and crockery.
Beds were very comfortable and bed linen was high quality.
It was great and much appreciated that the house was warmed up in anticipation of our winter weekend stay (our experience over 20 years is that this is rarely the case)
