We have a very high return and recommended guest rate which shows our consistency in providing the best possible self catering experience.

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jul, 2026
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

Absolutely stellar accommodations and a sanctuary of peace and energy.

We loved our stay - top notch accommodations with fresh bread and pastries to order from the on site bakery. The hosts are just lovely and genuinely concerned that all goes well during your stay. Unlike other places, they are on site and available every day if the need arises. The property is fed with fresh spring water and it's available from the tap! The surrounding property is stunning and I loved the slow, quiet mornings. A full kitchen with all you need is available as well right in your cottage. We were able to cook all of our meals, but there are 2 amazing pubs - one in each direction. The Boxing Hare to the right out of the drive or The Duck on the Pond to the left and down the road a bit. So thankful to have found this gem and we will certainly return. It really is as wonderful as it appears online. Thank you for hosting us!!

A blissful escape in the Cotswolds

My husband and I loved staying in Beechnut at Heath Farm. I had stayed at the Farm about 10 years ago with my parents and thought of it often over the years. When my husband and I started planning our trip to the UK (his first visit), I knew where we had to stay! The setting is beautiful and peaceful, overflowing with flowers and those classic green rolling hills you envision when thinking of the English countryside. The cottage was a great size and had a particularly lovely bathroom and bedroom. Small touches likes sourdough bread and cakes baked on the property really made it special. You can get to most of the idyllic Cotswolds towns within a 30 minute drive which makes it well located. I would love to stay again someday soon!
Response from VrboOwner on 9 Jun, 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It's especially special as you visited us such a long time ago and it's often the case that when you return to somewhere that you once loved it's just not the same or as good so we were so happy to read your review. Please don't leave it as long before your next visit! Kind Regards The Barbour Family

We were happy with our stay and the owners and staff were very helpful

Mt husband and I were very pleased with the cottage we stayed in for 3 nights. It was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The owners and staff were extremely helping and informative. We would have no problem recommending the cottage to others.

Fabulously unique holiday let

We were staying for work (hiring another cottage as well). What an absolute treat, we usually stay in faceless hotels! Fixtures/fittings/equipment etc all to the highest standard. Would happily come back as a visitor rather than for work!

Great Location

Heath Farm is an excellent location for a stay. Beechnut cottage is comfortable, spacious and has all the tools for self-catering. The walk-in shower is a plus for those that have challenges getting in or our of a tub. The town is a short distance away to get supplies for lunches and dinner.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your 5 star review! It gives us great pleasure to know we've provided the best there is in self catering accommodation.

Beautiful Farm

What a treat to walk among the gardens, trees, and beautiful living areas. Felt like the Garden of Eden with all the edible pears, berries, fresh eggs, and nature experiences. The staff were great, sharing their stories and always eager to help with any questions or interests.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Oct, 2023
Thank you so much for such a rapturous review! Being compared to Eden is about as mighty a review as you could possibly get so thank you so much! It's always a treat to have guests forage and pick all the wonderful produce on offer at our farm. It's beautiful in all seasons and there's always something new to find or try/taste. We hope you visit our little Eden again one day! The Barbour Family

Wonderful Stay

We stayed a weekend and that was not enough time to enjoy the facilities and grounds. Our cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. The little touches were lovely too- Cake and Granola and milk. The cottage is located in a lovely area and they courtyard and grounds are stunning.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Apr, 2024
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a lovely review! It gives us great pleasure to know our guests are so appreciative of the cottages, courtyard and setting which has taken decades of work to achieve and to maintain. We hope to see you again one day, do please note it's far, far better value the longer you stay as our prices are based on a percentage of the weekly price and not a daily rate.

A wonderful fortnight at Beechnut

Beechnut is a brilliant property with its very attractive and comfortable furniture and fittings. It is really warm and cosy and is also well equipped. I loved the lake, surrounding beautiful woods and nut orchards which make for great walks. The owners and their staff could not be more helpful. It was a dream come true for me.

Best Cottage ever

After a warmly welcome we moved into our Cottage. It is lovingly decorated and on the Table, we found a fresh bouquet of flowers, the ordered cake and the muesli. The courtyard with the waterfall and many plants invites you to relax, read, enjoy tea and unwind. The ground with all its trees, flowers and shrubs invite you to go for walks, have picnics or play croquet. We really enjoyed our stay at Beechnut Cottagge (Heath Farm) and would recommend it to everyone.
Response from VrboOwner on 5 Jun, 2025

We're very proud of our little oasis in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds and truly appreciate the high praise we receive from guests. We hope to see you again one day. Kind Regards 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.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Oct, 2024
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! It's also great to hear how complimentary all of your guests were about our cottages and farm. We hope to see you again one day, maybe on your anniversary? ;-) Kind Regards The Barbour Family
