Beautiful home away from home

Wow, this house is amazing, beautifully renovated - every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The location is idyllic - set in the heart of the countryside. The hosts were very approachable, all our queries prior to arrival were answered very swiftly and were on hand throughout our stay - thank you David and Martyn, it’s safe to say we will be back.

Wonderful Stay

We had the best time at Owls Nest Barn. Pictures don't do justice, the barn is amazing, rooms are all so comfortable and have a hotel feel to it and you are in a farm surrounded by lovely cows. Hosts were super friendly, helpful. Special thanks to David, who was super responsive and also gave us a lovely tour of the farm. We would definitely come back. Thank you.

Delighted

We met up here with old friends. We were very pleased with an en-suite for every couple. High quality facilities for kitchen, bathroom and comfortable living areas. Proprietors easily accessible and quick to help. They made us feel very welcome and even showed us their new calves. Beautiful surrounding countryside. One very small disadvantage is no garden. There is pleasant outside area with a barbecue but it has a roof .

A wonderful stay

Owl’s Nest was the perfect family getaway retreat. Stocked with everything you could possibly need, it was a fantastic break. The sounds of cows and swallows woke us up each day and there was space for all 9 of us to spread out. A great stay, we would love to be back.

Lovely stay!

Thanks for a lovely stay! Very comfortable accommodation and had lots of fun with the table tennis. Thanks for the delicious cake!(Would benefit from slightly more kitchen utensils and a better hob and oven. We managed, but found them hard to use, particularly the induction hob.)
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your recent stay at Owls Nest Barn. We’re very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Your valuable feedback regarding the kitchen utensils has been shared with the owners, and they are looking into it. They also mentioned that when they showed you around the property on arrival, they offered to assist with using the appliances and for you to contact them if needed. Unfortunately, they did not hear from you, but they would have been very happy to help. We hope to welcome you back to the Cotswolds again soon.

Wonderful house, hosts & location

The owls nest barn is a lovely place to stay, all the rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. It’s well appointed with everything you need. Being in a working farm makes it so much fun, seeing the cows come in and go out in the morning is a highlight. The hosts are very responsive and friendly. Martyn the farmer introduced us to the cows and calves, chickens and kittens!

Ideal property

The property is very comfortable, modern and spotless. The provision of an outside table tennis table was a bonus. The owners were very helpful, courteous and available though not interfering. The barn is on a working farm. The property is fully equipped with all you need. Would highly recommend this property.

A beautiful farm retreat

This is a beautifully designed and well appointed converted farm building, well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are spacious and light and tastefully furnished. The owners gave us a warm welcome and were easily contactable if we needed them. A delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake on arrival hit the spot. The surrounding countryside is really peaceful and it was lovely to observe the cows arriving for milking each day but many Cotswold attractions are within easy reach.

Just perfect

Had a wonderful two night stay in this amazing 'home'. Warm, very clean, very comfortable and cannot think of anything I would change ....other than the length of our stay!!We booked for a family gathering for my son's wedding at Elmore Court which worked perfectly ( the groomsmen were able to join us at the house for dressing on the day). All of our needs were covered and communicating with David and Claire ( many congratulations to you both on the new baby girl) was excellent. I enjoyed the compliments from my family on my choice of accommodation. Perfect!! Thanks for all your hospitality ( and for quickly updating us to inform us of something we had left behind - we were able to return to collect).

Beautiful house, great host

We stayed at Owls Nest Barn (on brook Farm) near Gloucester and the house was absolutely wonderful. Everything looked brand new, beautiful big kitchen diner and flowing through to the spacious lounge area. 4 huge bedrooms with lovely comfy beds and bathrooms. Immaculately clean. David the host was so helpful and took time to show us around the farm. Useful outside area under cover with seating, and table tennis (and bbq but we did not use). A really wonderful place to stay.

Luxury country escape

The house is surrounded by green Cotswold hills, located on a small farm. Friendly owners who welcomed us on arrival. The house was so well equipped we had no need to bother the owners The house is newly furnished to a very high specification. Large kitchen with everything you need to cook up a feast. Generous sized bedrooms with comfortable beds and five bathrooms Also comes equipped with wood burner and EV charger if needed

Absolutely beautiful

Owl’s Nest Barn is a stunning property which provided us friends with a perfect place to get together. Everything was just about perfect - beautifully and comfortably furnished and decorated with everything you could possibly need to relax. Comfy beds and lovely linen, lovely bathrooms with plenty of hot water and fluffy towels. Well appointed kitchen and a super lounge to sit and watch tv or listen to music. Spotlessly clean and well maintained with friendly and welcoming hosts, we had a marvellous weekend and will surely be back! Hugely recommended!! One thing - a better sign from both sides of the entrance would make the property easier to find in the dark, but other than that, perfection for us.
