Golden Stone Country Retreat, Cotswolds

This quirky, stone-built barn conversion is set in the picturesque village of Ampney St. Mary, near Cirencester, in the heart of the stunning Cotswolds landscape. Generous open plan living in a detached apartment with double bed, lounge area, beautiful reclaimed kitchen/dinning area and ensuite bathroom. Underfloor heating throughout so suitable for all seasons. Ideal for holidaymakers looking for a tranquil base from which to explore the AONB or individuals seeking a quiet, secluded space to work/study.

Accommodation comprises of a double bedroom area with plenty of hanging space, drawers, shelves, hooks and racks, opening to a comfortable lounge area stocked with books, games and a smart TV. The space is furnished with a vibrant combination of up-cycled, bespoke pieces and has a stylish and unique 'vintage meets contemporary' feel.

The stunning reclaimed masterpiece that is our bespoke kitchen is very well equipped with a butler sink, two ring induction hob, wireless mobile extraction unit, mini oven, kettle, toaster, washer/dryer and large smeg fridge/feezer. The kitchen was transformed with love and care in August 2025, using locally sourced timber (recycled from pallets, old scaffold boards and reclaimed floorboards) proving what wonders can be created with materials that could otherwise have gone to waste. The striking 'live edge' oak worktop provides plenty of workspace for food and drink preparation. You'll also find storage for cutlery and dedicated areas for recycling and composting, which we encourage :)

There is a large separate wet room/bathroom with a spacious walk in, rainfall shower. The bathroom floor has also been recently renovated with beautiful new tiles, fully relaid in April 2025.

The detached stone annex is set within the grounds of The Granary, just a short walk away from the main residential house. The property is one of three
new homes converted (in 2018) from the barns and outbuildings of the original grade 2 listed Manor Farmyard, dating from the late 1700's.

Guests can enjoy the communal walled garden, complete with fire pit and sunny patios where there is comfortable seating for outside dining.

Free off-street parking available and an EV charger port (extra charge based on usage). From the parking area a black iron gate leads you into the courtyard and gardens of The Granary.

Plenty of walking/running/cycling routes to explore straight from the doorstep without need for a car. A car is advised for visiting further afield and stocking up on supplies for your stay.

We’re passionate about the well-being of our clients, and that of the entire planet, so we pride ourselves in offering an eco-friendly experience and encouraging sustainable, ethical and clean living. We provide eco-friendly cleaning products, toiletries and household essentials, as well as tasty, organic supplies from the local farm.

Our toiletries and cleaning products come in refillable containers and we provide 100% recycled toilet paper, profits of which go towards building much needed toilets in the developing world. We also have an electric vehicle charging point on site should you need it.

Guests are greeted with supplies for a fully organic arrival snack or delicious breakfast! Treats include; organic, gluten free oats and alternative dairy free milk, berries and seeds, organic granola and organic tea/coffee supplies (instant and ground).

All bedding is provided for you as well as towels, a hair dryer, and a heated drying rack.

You will find a washing machine/tumble dryer in the kitchen area as well a large fridge freezer.

There is underfloor heating throughout which can be adjusted easily so the apartment is suitable for all seasons.

Lovely property. A bit far from shops though. A king size bed would have been better and the tv was too small. We arrived at 2.15 and could see that the property was ready but the host said we had to wait until 3 as it wasn’t quite ready

Check in time is 3pm. I had reiterated prior via WhatsApp that 3pm was the earliest check in time on this occasion, yet you tuned up at 2.15 asking to check in early. There is no way you could see if the property was ready without going inside, which you didn’t do. As it happens I was not ready for you check in until the check in time of 3pm as I was busy moving furniture and my personal items around the property and into my car, however should not have to justify this. The check in time is 3pm. If I was ready earlier I would have said you could come in earlier but I wasn’t so I didn’t and I made this very clear. I did find it a bit odd that you seemed so very keen to check in early and check out late. The times are there for a reason, you’re coming into someone’s personal properly and you pay for the allotted time in the property which is stipulated in the listing prior to booking. You are not entitled to extra time but I will offer early check ins if I'm able. The size of the bed is also stated in the listing.

3 Days in Cotswolds

Our second stay here to visit friends locally, lunch at The Falcon in Poulton, and do a number of walks. Ampney St Mary's is quiet and countrified. The B&B is clean and fresh with parking and use of a summer house.

Beautiful accommodation

The place was located in a beautiful quiet country area. The welcome and accommodation was beautiful. Tre did advise that the fridge freezer was a little noisy and suggested it be turned off at night which we did however the water recycling system was a little noisy too but other than that, an excellent stay. Thanks Tre.

Great for a short break in the Cotswolds.

The property was as advertised, clean, and well located. The kitchen area is very tiny with only a two ring hob, and a microwave so not much space for cooking. However, it's very peaceful and the bathroom is beautiful with gorgeous products to use in the shower. Good water pressure and good communication from owner.

Equally suitable for one or two

Originally chosen for a solo trip to the Fairford air tattoo, the event cancellation meant it became a few days away for two of us. Very nice little property, with clever use of space, not far from Cirencester and the A-road network, but in a gorgeous country setting. Superb dealings with Tre, the owner, thoughtful touches throughout and very, very pleasant. Already booked for next year's airshow.

Lovely Stay Cut Short by Covid

Property was delightful, comfortable, well decorated. We particularly likes the provision of milk, bread, butter & jam, tea & coffee - so no late night dash to the shops on first night. Unfortunately I started showing signs of Covid towards the end of day 2 so we cancelled dinner and visit to friends the following day and drove home. Tre was very understanding and we hope to return soon.

This eco retreat makes a lovely get away. I stayed for a couple of days and chose it as somewhere that I could go to to enjoy the peace and calm and the local environment. The studio cabin is really well laid out with all the provisions that you’d need for a few days break. There’s a lovely wet shower and plenty of space in the bedroom and living areas. There’s even a reading room situated above the property. It was comfortable for a couple. The only thing that I would have liked if I stayed a while longer would have been a larger kitchen unit. Saying that the property is really well placed to access the centre and the nearby tourist attractions. Communication with the host was also really easy. They contacted us a day or so before with detailed snap shots of the location and their details. I'd definitely recommend it.

Cute Cotswold cottage

We enjoyed our stay! Loved the decor style and colors, it was very warm and inviting. The cottage, patio, garden, and she shed were all so welcoming. The bed was comfortable for me but a little short for anyone over 6' tall. The kitchen included everything for a light breakfast of tea/coffee and porridge. The electric kettle could not be used as it was quite full of limescale crust that flaked out into the water, but the microwave worked just fine for heating water for tea. If you plan to do any cooking, you'll need to bring your own oil, pepper, etc. We used the hob and it worked well for making eggs, cheese toasties, etc. FYI the fridge is noisy, it bothered my wife at night but didn't bother me. Apparently others have complained, too, because the workaround offered is a cooler bag with cold packs. This wasn't necessary for us, we used the fridge. The freezer needed defrosting and couldn't be used. This location is very tranquil and the cottage is quiet. A neighbor had guests outdoors one evening and I didn't hear them at all until I went outside. I appreciate the eco friendly approach in the cottage such as bamboo toilet paper, eco bath products, composting, recycling, etc. Paper towels are not provided so do bring your own roll. During our stay we let our host know there were a lot of bees getting in the cottage somehow, even with windows and doors closed. We expect and tolerate typical bugs like spiders, flies, etc. as a fact of life in the country, but the needs were excessive. The rain shower was roomy and refreshing. I liked the towel warming rack. Overall a good stay and we would stay here again.

Hi Susan, many thanks for all of your comments. You'll be glad to know the freezer and kettle issues have now been resolved. There is clearly a wasps nest somewhere not too far away but this has not been an issue for us before. Worry not, they won't be around for long! Wasps never return to the same nest. They are active for about 3/4 months during the summer but the nest will die off as it gets cooler and queens will hibernate ready to build a new nest in the spring. Very glad you enjoyed your stay overall and hope to host you again. Best wishes, Tre.

Schöne Unterkunft in sehr ruhiger Lage

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen und ruhigen Aufenthalt in den Cotswolds. Uns hat überrascht, dass die Wohnung größer ist als sie in den Fotos erscheint. Sie ist sehr sauber und man hat alles was man sich wünscht. Tres ist sehr freundlich und hilft sofort, wenn man Fragen hat. Von dort kann man alles gut mit dem Auto erreichen. Aber weil es etwas ländlich und außerhalb liegt, braucht man auch unbedingt ein Auto. Bei der Ankunft fanden wir bereits einen liebevoll gedeckten Tisch mit einem leckeren Frühstück vor. Wir würden die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen. Vielen Dank für die wunderschöne Unterkunft.

As good as I remember

I used the property for the second time, using it as a base for the airshow at RAF Fairford. As before it was ideal, only a short journey from Cirencester and Fairford itself. It is quiet and secluded, and a wonderful property for a couple or single traveller. Tre puts some lovely touches that are very welcome. Very highly recommended.
