Perfect place for a celebration

A fantastic place to host a 60th birthday celebration with a group of close friends. Stunning house, beautifully decorated in a great location with everything available for you to settle in quickly and focus on fun. Kitchen was well appointed for our private chef and the wonderful Falkland Arms a comfortable 45 minute walk away. A faultless experience from booking to departure - we will definitely be back!

A wonderful week in the Cotswold

Hired the farmhouse to be the centre piece of 3 70th birthday celebrations. The property was exactly what we were looking for. Large enough for the whole party of 14, clean and well equipped. The hot tub was very popular!! The couple of small issues that occurred were very quickly dealt with. Thanks Paul and the team.

40th birthday celebration!

We recently celebrated a special family birthday in Stonewell Farmhouse (Friday to Monday). We had a wonderful time at the cottage which was well stocked with everything we needed for a large party including 2 dish washers! The property was clean, bright and welcoming. It has a large garden, barbeque area and a hot tub in a secluded sunny spot. The snooker table come dining table was a hit with everyone. I would definitely recommend a stay in this beautiful spacious cottage with wonderful views of the surrounding area.

Fantastic weekend break at a wonderful venue

Fourteen family members, aged from 8 to 73, all enjoyed a superb weekend at Stonewell Farmhouse. The hot tub was a real hit with the youngsters among us, as was the air hockey and pool table. The older members enjoyed the snooker table and just chilling in the grounds and indoors. Catering for fourteen was really easy with all the high spec kitchen equipment (although we were surprised not to discover any espresso cups). The bedrooms were excellent and the beds very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Perfect Retreat: Stylish, Comfortable, and Convenient!

We recently stayed at this stunning house for a work retreat, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations. Every room having its own bathroom was an absolute luxury and made the stay incredibly comfortable for our group. The house itself is impeccably designed, with every detail thoughtfully considered to ensure guests have everything they could need. Despite the wild weather brought by Storm Bert, the house was wonderfully warm and cozy, making it the perfect haven for our stay. The access instructions were clear and straightforward, which made arrival stress-free. Plus, its location couldn’t be better—just an easy 18-minute walk to Soho Farmhouse, which was ideal for us. This was actually our second stay here, having had an equally fantastic time last year. It's rare to find a place that combines style, comfort, and convenience so perfectly. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back again!

Fabulous place to stay !

From the moment we booked Stonewell farmhouse the communication with Stay Cotswold and then with the owners of the property was fantastic! The cottage its self was warm, beautifully decorated and had a brilliant layout downstairs. A particular highlight was the dining table which converted into a snooker table ! Upstairs every bedroom had a bathroom which was great although 2 of the bathrooms were across the corridor and one only had a bath, but that wasn’t a big issue ! Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there but the grounds were beautiful! Our top tip would be don’t try and walk on the main road into Great Tew village as the road is v dangerous instead take the footpath behind the house for a beautiful walk to the pub which takes about 30-40 minutes! All in all a fantastic stay and I would recommend the property highly !

Extended family long weekend get together

We were 14 adults ranging from the ages of 20 to 67. Stonewell is a lovely, warm house equipped to a very high standard. The kitchen had plenty of crockery and cutlery and space to prepare food and drinks. The snooker table was well used and it was especially nice that it was situated within the house, rather than in an annexe or barn. The hot tub too was a great hit with everyone. Everywhere was clean and comfortable, with plenty of towels and lovely bedrooms. The only difficulty we had was that although there was plenty of very hot water to the kitchen sink, many of us found showers going cold after a minute or minute and a half. It didn’t seem to matter what time of day or which floor of the house it was, there just wasn’t enough hot water to shower comfortably, which was frustrating. One of our party attempted to run a bath, but after running a couple of inches of tepid water, gave up. This was disappointing. Others have mentioned the creaky floors, but for us the main issue was insufficient hot water in the showers.

Absolute Dream Stay

We rented the cottage for a work gathering. Several of us are members of Soho House and were searching for a cottage nearby, but with more space than the ones on the farm. This house was absolutely perfect. There was ample room for all 14 of us, featuring a great variety of rooms with twin beds, doubles, and kings, each equipped with its own bathroom. The house offered so much space, both indoors and outdoors, that we never felt crowded. The dining room was spacious, boasting a beautiful table where we could all comfortably sit together. The kitchen was also impeccably stocked, and having 2 dishwashers was a dream come true. Every detail had been carefully considered, and I have recommended the house to many of my friends. If I had to mention any drawbacks, I would point out the creaky floorboards, which were mentioned in previous reviews. We used earplugs and didn't hear a thing. Additionally, I suggest sharpening the knives as we had difficulty cutting vegetables. Lastly, for music enthusiasts, the Bose mini speaker in the kitchen isn't very loud, so I recommend bringing your own speakers. These are all minor issues that didn't diminish our overall experience. I am eagerly looking forward to returning. Thank you so much for providing us with such a delightful stay.

Lovely house for large family gatherings

The farmhouse is gorgeous. The games room and hot tub kept the kids entertained during our holiday. There were 15 of us shed 3 to 80! The only issue is the creaky floors, it really was loud and meant that once the first person got up in the morning it woke the whole house. I think this would be costly to address but is a real issue. Other than this the house was perfect with all supplies eg dishwasher tabs, cleaning stuff provided.

Fabulous weekend at Tew Farmhouse, lovely comfortable spacious house, loved the little extras like White Company Products, dog treats and leads, would definitely stay again, had so much fun playing snooker and in the hot tub and so much outside space to enjoy also only negative was the sound travels through the house due to the lovely wooden floorboards throughout but we did have noisy guests in our group!!

Family weekend

We had a lovely family birthday weekend for 14 in this spacious and well equipped farmhouse which is in a beautiful rural setting. We were disappointed that the hot tub was out of action but the snooker table and games room kept teenagers and adults amused. They also enjoyed the outdoor tennis court. Great Tew is a pretty village and other delightful Cotswold places are within easy reach by car. My only complaint is that we had so many emails with information from Stay Cotswold and from Tew Barns that it was hard to remember where the information was when we wanted to refer back to it- we would have preferred some old fashioned paper information to refer to at the property. Also, older members would have liked grab rails in the showers. But overall, it is an ideal place for a relaxing and active holiday for a group of mixed ages.

Fantastic family birthday weekend break

Everything about our stay at the Tew Farmhouse for a special family birthday was perfect. The Farmhouse was immaculate and more than surpassed our expectations. It easily accommodated our family of 15, including young children and three dogs. The farmhouse was finished to a very high standard and supplied everything that was needed on a day to day basis. The arrival and departure were very smooth and we particularly liked the freedom of arriving and being left alone to settle in. Contact numbers were available if any help or assistance were required. The one occasion we needed some advice, regarding using the electric car charger, the response was quick and efficient. The location was ideal for walks and access to the cafe and pub in Great Tew. Overall we loved our stay and can’t wait to return very soon.

OUTSTANDING

We booked for a weekend stay for my wife's 60th birthday. We had 14 adults, 2 children, 2 infants and 3 dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone. Each bedroom was very roomy with 6 en-suites. The cleanliness was spot on. The little hideaway with a air/pool table was ideal for the youngsters. The huge dining table which turned into a full size snooker table kept the adults entertained. Genius idea!! Gorgeous location for walks...amazing.

An excellent spacious, comfortable property for a multi generational family gathering

The entire house and grounds are of the highest standard with space for everyone to relax or enjoy fun and games. The bedrooms and facilities are modern, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. A very well equipped kitchen and larder area made catering easy. We appreciated the quiet spaces too and the privacy of the BBQ area and hot tub. The well maintained grassy areas enabled ball games to be played safely and there are pleasant walks from the property. We found the owners accessible and quick to respond to any issues. For a special family gathering, this house is ideal. We would recommend soft indoor footwear as the upper floorboards do creak. We recommend the Duck on the Pond in Stoke Newington for Sunday lunch

Beautiful house in a wonderful location

Our family party of nine stayed at the property for a 50th birthday celebration and it was perfect! The house is beautifully decorated with plenty of space for everyone and a bathroom for each room. The house is very well equipped with lots of storage space and entertainment. The hot tub, snooker table and air hockey were very popular! The grounds were great for walking the dog and we made use of the tennis court. We had excellent weather so were able to eat outside in the private garden. We also went on one of the lovely walks recommended in the house details. We would definitely return.
