About this property

The Old Barn, Witney - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Sitting on the outskirts of Witney, The Old Barn is a place to relax and enjoy quiet tranquillity, whilst being ideally situated to explore the Cotswolds. With its own gravelled drive and ample parking in front of the property, lawned gardens wrapping around the side of the house and to the rear, this really is a lovely bolthole retreat for your stay in the area.

The house has been lovingly decorated throughout and has all the features you would expect in a home away from home. The fantastic open-plan kitchen dining and living area will be a place your whole party can spend some quality time together, whether that is making some fantastic meals within the well-equipped kitchen or relaxing on the cosy sofas after a day walking the area. One thing that will stand out is the beautiful panoramic view from the bi-fold doors which could almost be a framed picture. Each of the bedrooms are of a great size and all en-suite, but there may be strong discussions over who gets the feature mezzanine room on the first floor.

The bi-fold doors open from the dining space to a paved patio which really does bring the outdoors in. The view is even more breathtaking from outside, and you will use this space on fine evenings and crisp mornings having a lovely meal or just a coffee whilst admiring the view and listening to birds chirping. Walks from the front door will be sure to keep everyone happy and exploring the Cotswolds from this destination will be an ideal holiday.

*Dogs: 2 well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage at an additional cost each. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog and we will then revise your booking confirmation. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall:
Opening the front door of The Old Barn, you cannot help but be drawn to the view through the bi-fold doors in front of you in the large open-plan kitchen-living-dining space. Leading off the hall are the double and twin bedrooms with a separate entrance to the bathroom and utility.

Open-Plan Kitchen/Dining/Living Area:
This wonderful sunny space is a fabulous open-plan sociable room for everyone to enjoy. The high ceilings give a greater feeling of size and the two large cartwheel light fittings set off this area. There is a long dining table to easily seat all guests but for those wanting a more relaxed coffee or breakfast, the counter space with four stools is an ideal location. The well-equipped kitchen with its deep blue Aga is sure to be a place to cook some memorable meals and the addition of the separate two-burner gas hob is a real benefit. An American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, and all the equipment will be all that is needed to create your culinary delights inside or outside. At the far end of this space are three large sofas to ensure a cosy place to relax, read or just watch your favourite TV programmes after a hard day walking around the area. For music lovers, there is a Music Fidelity Hi-Fi system that allows streaming from Spotify.

Bedroom One:
Entering directly from the entrance hall this spacious double room with dual aspect windows looks out to the lawned area to the front and side of the barn. The double bed is sure to ensure a great night's sleep and is complemented by two bedside tables and touch-sensitive reading lamps. There is also a wooden blanket box, bookcase, chest of drawers, and a perfectly positioned mounted smart TV.

En-Suite:
The en-suite leads straight from bedroom one and is the only bathroom in the barn that features a bath. A handheld shower, basin, and WC finish the space.

Bedroom Two:
Another space that is a great size, like bedroom one, is entered via the hallway. Twin beds with bedside tables and lamps and for those wanting to undertake some writing or catching up on emails, the desk is perfect. There's also a wall-mounted TV.

En-Suite:
This fantastic wet room has a direct entrance from bedroom two but also has a separate door allowing access from the open-plan area of the barn. Rainfall shower, basin, and WC give you everything you need.

Utility Room:
The utility houses everything you would expect including a washing machine and dryer. This is a great place to take your dog after a walk to dry off and keep your coats and boots away but easily accessible.

First Floor

Stairs with a handrail to your right lead up to:

Balcony Bedroom:
A large spacious mezzanine suite overlooks the open-plan space of the barn and is sure to be the feature bedroom of the barn. The king-size bed sits comfortably here and the addition of a reading chair and matching footstool will be somewhere to get away to read any of the wide array of books found within The Old Barn if anybody wants a quiet space. The Velux windows allow light into this bright space, and they are fantastic for looking at the stars on a clear night. There is a writing desk for a quick letter or two to send back in this age of electronic communication.

En-Suite Shower Room:
Found at the end of the mezzanine is this well-proportioned shower room. With a large spacious rainfall shower, basin, and WC all set in a white and blue tiled room.

Outside

Surrounded by mostly lawn at the side and rear of the barn, the large two bi-fold doors open onto a large patio that will be used for many daytime or evening meals taking in the great views towards Witney. The back lawn with farmland beyond will be a place to really kick back and relax with a book or a nice chilled glass of your favourite beverage.

The front of the property has a wide gravelled drive which also wraps to the left of The Old Barn in front of a five-bar gate that leads to the back lawn and patio.

10/10 Excellent

Relaxing weekend away with friends
We had a fantastic time at the Old Barn. It looks and feels as amazing as it does on the photos. It is a beautiful place to stay with really excellent facilities, stunning views and really good value for money. Really comfortable living area, very well kitted kitchen with really stunning design of the conversion. We also relaxed in the large garden and enjoyed the views. There is a great local pub about 5-10 mins walk away which we would recommend. The communication from booking was also second to none, all in all 10/10 stay.
