Wedding Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend attending a family wedding whilst staying at Barnsley Cottage. The house was very homely and cosy, with ample space for our large family. It was well equipped with lots of personal touches particularly the mulled wine set to go for our arrival. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again if in the area. Thanks to Annabelle our host who made it a stay to remember.

Wonderful stay

Wonderful cottage, well equipped to host 5 couples celebrating a big birthday. The garden is secure and suitable for dogs, Local pub serves delicious food and has a great atmosphere. Also its around the corner from the The Pig Hotel and its spa. Annabel was a wonderful host, who was keen to ensure we were warm and comfortable in her delightful cottage. I suspect we will return again soon.

Comfortable Barnsley Cottage

Barnsley Cottage was absolutely perfect for what we wanted - 3 families spending the weekend together under 1 roof. It was welcoming, cosy, homely and comfortable. The large warm kitchen was ideal and it was good for 10 of us to sit round the table. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms spacious. The attic bedrooms were perfect for the 4 children. The house and garden were dog friendly and the garden big enough to play in. Absolutely everything was provided and Annabel, the house owner, was welcoming and friendly. We would definitely come back.

A family weekend

We recently stayed at Barnsley Cottage for a weekend with our to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversay. The cottage is spacious but cosy. The garden was beautiful. We could easily reach the places we wanted to visited. My only criticism is that there were so many cupboards that at first it was hard to find things

Perfect family cottage

Fantastic family holiday at Barnsley Cottage. We loved everything about it. Plenty of space for three generations, comfortable and well equipped. My grand daughter (age 4) said ‘the beds are like marshmallows’ and she was right. Lovely garden for the children to play in and for the adults to relax.

Weekend away with friends

Fantastic old cottage, extensively stocked with every type of kitchen appliance and equipment you could need. The cottage layout lends itself to inclusive dining and socialising and is well located in the village for the local pubs. The garden is beautiful with all day sunshine with bbqs for all. Would definitely recommend it and return.

Absolutely lovely home from home!

The cottage was a big hit with all the family. It had everything you might need and what you might not think you need. We all enjoyed our stay and all the home comforts and we would definitely recommend the cottage to all.

Very disappointed

We booked through Stay Cotswolds. The property was dirty and smelt terrible. I cleaned it and had to wash all the kitchen utensils before we used them. The carpets were stained and the house smelt. The pictures don’t reflect the condition of the property. I have complained to Stay Cotswolds and they just said I hope you enjoyed the Cotswolds. Won’t be booking through them again.

Excellent stay for my 30th

We hired the house to celebrate my 30th birthday with family. We had a great time there, the house is very cosy and right in the middle of the Cotswolds. The fireplace was perfect to relax after a day out.

Family celebration

Ideal for multi generational family. Enclosed garden great for the dog to roam.Comfy beds. Plenty of hot water for 10. Well equipped with lots of little extras you dont think about. Underfloor heating in kitchen and log burner great addition especially as the weather was a little indifferent. Village pub across the road is worth a visit Cant wait to go back.

Charming Cotswolds stay

Our multigenerational group of 9 had a lovely stay at the house in July. It is very well equipped for a holiday stay with a fantastic kitchen, toys for the kids, bbq etc and has very comfortable beds. The garden is well maintained with plenty of space. A nice welcome basket from the host who was also in touch to check if we had any issues (which we didn’t). Very well located for visiting different areas of the Cotswolds. We would stay again.

Birthday Celebrations

We stayed here for my partners 50th birthday celebration with parents and teenagers. There was plenty of room for everyone to both have their own space and to come together. Lots of lovely touches such as books and board games and a perfect location to visit the beautiful Cotswolds. We will definitely be back!
