We had a fabulous stay at Barns Lee in Eastcourt. This was our 2nd holiday there and we would love to go back again. We were very lucky with the weather and made the most of the great outdoor pool. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to others, we are a family of 7 and it suits us perfectly.

Lovely rural retreat
This was a lovely, big, interesting house with a great pool. There was a big kitchen and lots of kitchen equipment and room for many people to eat and sit comfortably. The garden was a great size with a lovely seating area and a really good pool. The house is in a quiet rural location but close to shops, pubs etc. We had a super holiday here and the hosts were helpful
This was a wonderful house. Fully equipped in the kitchen. Pool was wonderful. There is so much to do in short approximatity . I would recommend this property . Picture do not do it justice.

A week away from the norm
Amazing well equipped house. Pool is great especially with little ones . The online photos don't do the house or gardens justice . Arranged a Tesco delivery on arrival. Days out are within a reasonable drive. Only problem time goes too quick in this house and location
We had a great 2 nights stay in the beautiful house.
The house is kitted out to a great standard with all areas covered.
(a larger BBQ would be lovely)

Beautiful family vacation house
We had an amazing 3 night vacation here. The heated pool was loved, especially with a cool summer in the UK, and the house was a wonderful place for 3 families to all hang out together. Couldn't have been better.

Wonderful house in a great location
Super weekend away with some friends. House was beautiful and spacious with all of the things you’d need. Also walked 30mins to the local pub, the potting shed where we had an amazing lunch.
Stayed here for a week whilst getting building work to my home done a few miles away. Great to have a base close at hand with every home comfort available mixed with luxury and homeliness. Loved sitting next to the fire at night in the living room.
Will definitely be back again with other family who were very jealous of our stay.

Family weekend at Barns Lee
The property is very authentic and atmospheric. It has some low door jams and maybe could benefit from some warning strips. Additionally, in one of the bedrooms you can hear the local wildlife, so might be worth bringing some ear plugs.
Location is very nice and quiet in the countryside and it has a big garden which is good for children.

Fabulous Barns Lee
What a fabulous barn - finished to a very high standard, but still managed to have that "homely" feel. Annual gathering of friends, we all loved it. Would definitely recommend and book again.
Just one comment in relation to information about check in/out was a little confusing from Boltholes - easily fixed though.
Lovely property that is extremely well equipped and set in a peaceful location. The host is attentive and kind. It has an amazing homely feel, a home away form home. The kids enjoyed the pool, garden and rooms to play. As parents we enjoyed the evening swims, and cozied up by the fire in house and outside with a glass of wine. The hot tub is a must and night swimming in the heated pool. We relaxed and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! We are coming back most definitely!

Family Birthday celebration
Barn Lees is a beautiful house in a perfect location, a totally private garden with spacious ground floor accommodation and a well equipped kitchen. We all enjoyed the facilities of the swimming pool and hot tub.
The house was clean but not spotless, a lot of cobwebs and a blocked shower waste. The limited supply of one toilet roll per bathroom, only one pillow per person per bed and bath towels not bath sheets were not generous in our opinion given the rental price. A tin opener would be a useful gadget to have in the kitchen as well as a coffee machine (as advertised on Bolthole Retreats website) a cafetière was provided.
Overall we had a wonderful stay.

40th birthday stay
I stayed for three nights at Barns Lee with my family celebrating my 40th birthday. The house is lovely and I chose it for its facilities - the swimming pool and hot tub which did not disappoint. The swimming pool was heated and I was impressed with how warm it actually was! As we had a toddler with us they also provided a high chair, cot and stair gate which was so handy (there are quite a few stairs leading to the upstairs bedrooms so the stair gate was very welcomed).
I had booked the property nearly a year in advance and the process for booking (with Bolthole Retreats) and the communication in between was brilliant, as they were very efficient and helpful.
If you’re looking for a getaway in a big house (with a great big kitchen) with beautiful grounds, plenty of space for family/friends then I would recommend. You definitely need a car to get around (there is no pavement along the road to walk), and there are no shops close by, but Tetbury and Malmesbury are not far (we had arranged a supermarket shop to be delivered for our arrival which did the job). We also were able to fit 3 cars on the driveway in front of the house which was helpful.

A wonderful haven to rest and escape the business of life
We found Barns Lee a real haven away from our busy lives. It is situated in a very peaceful part of the Cotswolds. You definitely need a car but we rarely left the house. The highlights of the house were the pool and the hot tub . The pool is of a high standard and beautifully warm with good quality garden furniture to relax on . The hot tub is in a sheltered spot in the garden and a good size.
We found the audio monitor quite disconcerting as it was going off left ,right and centre even when we weren’t talking. This may annoy some people.
The house is just beautiful inside and tastefully decorated with character pieces of furniture everywhere.
The beds were all very comfortable and linen of good quality.
There were only a few niggles that didn’t worry us too much like only one tea towel for 8 people for the week and a small bbq for 8 people that never seemed to get to a good enough heat. Just to note also there is no body wash or shampoo just soap.
It was welcoming to arrive to a cake and cookies with milk in the fridge. The kitchen was well equipped yet missed simple things like pepper and olive oil.
We enjoyed going to the potting shed pub a couple of times which was just down the road. We’d definitely recommend Barns Lee to our friends.

A fabulous stay - would love to come again
This house was lovely! Very tidy and clean with a well stocked kitchen (plenty of pots/pans, crockery, glasses and even non-breakable outside crockery/glasses) and helpfully marked cupboard shelves(!) There are great communal areas for eating and chatting inside and outside and the pool and hot tub were such a treat. (We did luck out with gloriously sunny weather). The bedrooms configurations were perfect for our group although we did draw straws for the much bigger master bedroom which had a sitting area and en-suite bathroom! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, going on walks (roads not busy); friendly locals directed us to a lovely golf course when we realised the pub we had walked to had closed down, and another pub (The Potting Shed) had a great atmosphere with good food. We made use of the BBQ too which was so useful to have. Good supply of towels and pool towels.
Gold star too for Suzy who was so prompt at responding to a few messages sent when we realised the pub opposite the station we had planned to head to after check out is closed on Tuesdays.
In terms of any cons, nothing much really! Maybe just a few more toilet rolls (each bathroom had one roll but one bathroom had none) and more sun loungers would have been useful as there were six of us and two sun loungers. Oh, and to mention to future guests to bring shampoo/ shower gel as that is not supplied.
All in all a delightful stay and I’d certainly love to come again!

A weekend celebration
Perfect venue for our celebration weekend. Lots of room downstairs for our group of seven adults to relax, cook and eat! Really well equipped and very comfortable.
We were fortunate with the weather so made good use of the pool which was very clean and heated to a perfect temperature.
Communication with the office and the housekeeper was excellent.
Great location for Highgrove Garden, Tetbury and Malmesbury.

A long awaited break for friends to come together
As friends living far apart from each other a get-together is always an important date on the calendar, Barns Lee didn't disappoint, beautiful property with a hot tub and heated pool ( check dates for access to the pool ). We sat in the sun in October!! Spacious accommodation, great for just spending time together. The surrounding countryside was fab for walks as well.
