Magical

We stayed as a multigenerational group for my mum's 70th and the entire stay was magical. The cottages have been built with incredible craftsmanship and love into the small details. The kitchens and living areas are good sizes with all amenities taken care of. The games room and games lawn were a huge hit with the kids as was the wildlife in the woods and the pond. We didn't even need to leave the site as there was so much to do. The sunset view from the Walnut hot tub with the swinging hammock chair was a highlight for our group.

Thank you so much for the great 5 star review! It was a real pleasure to host your wonderful family who all seemed to have a fun & relaxing stay. It's great to hear that you were all so mesmerised by the cottages and grounds that you didn't have to leave to find attractions and entertainment off site. You'll have to come back to do some explorations of that all next time. We look forward to welcoming you back one day. All the best Mon

Another relaxing stay

Yet again another relaxing, peaceful but rather “soggy” week at Heath Farm. Enjoyed our evening hot tubs but only managed one wall this time due to the weather conditions. See you again next year.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Mar 2026
It was a particularly soggy week, but I'm glad you managed at least one walk in a rare gap in the pouring rain - it was the perfect excuse to curl up by the fire though! Kind regards

Absolutely wonderful

We had a great time at Heath Farm Cottages. Everything is done with such great eye for detail and we felt really welcome. We loved the evenings in the hot tub overlooking the amazing surroundings with a beautiful sunset.

a good stop away from the city life with many things to do

I love the old cottage feel and vibes of the place. it was quiet with many activities to do and felt very private especially when we arrived on the weekday, it felt like it was only us and the owners. we enjoyed the activities like walking trails, fishing and feeding the goats. also it is quite a central location able to drive to many other activities
Response from VrboOwner on 15 May 2025
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a great review. It means a lot to us knowing our guests have had a lovely and relaxing time with us. In regard to the slight mark down we suspect this is due to the slightly worn hardwood surfaces in the kitchen which we plan to re-sand and treat once we have a quiet period. Please also note that it's far better value the longer you stay after a 3 night stay with it costing around £90 per night in peak season and even less in other seasons. We hope to see you again one day. Kind Regards Mon

Wonderful stay in the Cotswolds

Magnificent surroundings, the cottage was perfect in every way. The owners have thought of everything to make the place so inviting and warm. Nothing could have been done better, it is absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait to come back again!

A great week in the English country side!

After spending a week in London, my wife and I stayed a week at the walnut cottage with our 2 kids and it was great! The location, the staff, the accomodations (e.g.: private spa) and the overall comfort were excellent! I strongly recommend to everyone looking for quiet space to relax while still being just a short drive from nice English attractions.

The perfect weekend getaway

Walnut was so beautiful. A really special stay. Loved the hot tub, the super clean and amazing decor. Loved all the eco touches. Amazingly well kitted out kitchen and games shed. The grounds are incredible. Will definitely be staying again!

A beautifully finished property, with gorgeous surroundings. The owners have thought of absolutely everything we could want or need during our stay. The gardens and games room are perfect for our family. With loads to do, we hardly left the farm at all.

Beautiful property

Only stayed here for 3 nights wish it had been longer. The property is extremely well maintained and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need to cook with. The garden and surrounding land are very pretty and I felt relaxed as soon as we got there. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your great review! We agree, it's always better to stay longer here as no-one ever wants to leave! It's also much better value for money per night to stay for 7 days compared to 2-3 days. Kind Regards The Barbour Family

Heaven in the cotswolds

The cottage was lovely and our hosts were most accommodating. They greet you with this spectacular cake ( I got the ginger - superb). I cook a lot and the appliances were modern and the kitchen well-equipped with every utensil you could want. Would highly recommend.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 May 2025
What a heavenly review! Thank you so much for all the compliments and five star review. It gives us huge satisfaction when we get wonderful reviews and guests appreciate the fact that we go above and beyond the usual self catering experience. Great care and attention was put into the design and facilities we provide and it was done in a way that we imagined we would like if we stayed in a self catering property. We hope you come back to stay with us again one day. Kind Regards The Barbour Family

A perfect stay

I stayed at Walnut for 4 nights with my two children and my husband (to celebrate his birthday). Such a beautiful place with plenty to entertain the children. They loved the trampoline, the games room and the outdoor games available at the games hut. We had a bbq and toasted marshmallows in our private little garden area and spent a lot of time relaxing in the hot tub. A perfect, relaxing stay.

Romantic hide away in The Cotswolds

Heathfarm is a magical place with beautiful joinery, warmly decorated rooms, ultra comfortable, very nice fireplace all set on a tranquil wonderfully landscaped garden/woodland. The privat hottubs with breath-taking views over water and grass lands on to the hills are fantastic. Indulge your self and go I'd say.

Dear Edwin Thank you so much for your wonderful review! As a returning guest it means that bit more when we get marked so well for the service, cleanliness and condition of the cottage.

Just fantastic

What a wonderful find ! Walnut cottage was jaw-droppingly gorgeous, so comfortable and clean, with absolutely everything thought of. The hot tub and private garden were so relaxing. The views, the animals, the gardens and especially the Orchard were equally lovely. We are already plotting a return

WOW! Stunning property

We were there for work (hired another smaller cottage as well) but wished we were on holiday. The design of the interior and the furniture are just stunning. You can see that great care has been taken with no short cuts. The bathroom is something else - just fabulous. Everyone was so helpful and attentive - making it a perfect rent, can't recommend highly enough.

A return visit

We have not stayed at Heath Farm for a few years and we’re looking forward to our return. The welcome was as friendly as before and the changes they have made just adds an additional layer of luxury to an already exquisite property. Walnut is comfy and homely and the opportunity to sit in front of an open fire just completes it as the ultimate place to stay.

Dear Malcolm Thank you so much for the fantastic review! It's especially welcome when it's from a returning guests who's not been here for years. Hopefully it shows that not only have we been consistent throughout with our cleanliness, ethos and maintenance but also that the many new additions we've made in the past few years have all been done sympathetically and have only added to the experience. One of our guiding motto's is that we can't improve what we have but we can add to it! All the best The Barbour Family

Wedding Weekend

We had our wedding here so all the cottages were booked out for the family. Everyone was taken aback by the care and attention paid to every detail. The cottages were a delight - cosy, quiet, comfortable Everyone at the wedding said they’d be looking in to booking their own weekend away at Heath Farm; it’s immaculate and so are all the cottages.

Dear Josh Thank you so much for all the compliments. We were so happy that you had such a fantastic wedding at Heath Farm and certainly one the weather didn't affect!

Family holiday

We stayed for 5 nights in Walnut Cottage & my kids didn't want to leave after that. We loved everything - games lawn, sgtand-up paddle boarding in the lake, catching/feeding fish in the lake, walking around the spacious grounds, clean & well-equipped kitchen. Only down side was the extremely hot weather in the afternoons which was out of anyone's control. Thankfully, the cottage was so comfortable we could just have a short siesta or read during the hot afternoons.

Thank so so much for a wonderful family review! It was a pleasure to host your family and your boys certainly looked like they had loads of fun throughout the farm. We really appreciate the time taken to give us a five star review. We hope you return again one day, maybe in another season as it won't be so hot and there's always something new to see and experience in any season! Kind Regards The Barbour Family

Fantastic venue

It's a fantastic place to stay. Walnut is very comfortable, but be aware there are steps outside and stairs to bedrooms. The private garden area to this accommodation is a bonus, and we used the hot tub every day. Lovely walks around the 70 acres and the small lake has trout if you like to fish - also other equipment available for the water. The whole area is beautifully laid out with a rill in the courtyard and the water trickling down is very soothing. The staff and family are exceptionally kind and helpful. A quiet relaxing place to stay. Lots to do within a 30 minute drive.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Jun 2024
Dear Elaine Thank you so much for giving us such high praise! It's great to hear you were able to explore the grounds and you enjoyed the fishing plus made best use of the hot tub after exploring the local area. We hope to see you again next year, you may wish to consider Chestnut cottage next time, it's below Walnut and also has a hot tub in it's own private garden and is a fair bit less than Walnut as it sleeps 2 rather than 4.

Walnut

A beautiful, spacious cottage finished to the highest standard. Bedding was lovely. There is a huge table for entertaining. The owners have thought of everything, and provided plenty of basics, such as herbs, tea and coffee, pepper and salt, toiletries etc. They made us feel very welcome. Everywhere was immaculately clean. The grounds/gardens are excellent with lots of activities which kept us busy.
