Lovely base to explore the Cotswolds

Very well-presented house with plenty of space ideally situated for exploring a variety of Cotswolds locations. The property was clean and tidy with a very functional kitchen, comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. Plenty of outdoor space and a lovely rural location.

Wow!!!

A rural retreat of the first order! Warm, comfortable impeccably clean and a real treat! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. A small detail and maybe due to our preferences… we love real coffee and would have enjoyed the use of a Nespresso machine as opposed to a cafetière.

Highly recommended; with oddities

The house is beautifully located in a charming village with a pub a short ten minute (if you dawdle) amble away. It is decorated with a variety of interesting artworks and generally very well appointed. The garden is delightful and home to a friendly hedgehog. It’s an impressive building that keeps gloriously cool when we were baking outside in the sun! The collection of books will keep even the most avid reader satisfied. A few oddities could do with attention: an unusual choice of light fitting means that adjusting light or getting any at all in one of the bedrooms is a bit challenging! No issue in high summer, probably a pain in winter. The kitchen has many useful items but lacks a large coffee press (thankfully I don’t travel without one…) serving bowls and an ice bucket. The fridge is… bizarre, and I’m not sure what could redeem it. Overall we had a lovely stay; thank you!

Amazing House in the Cotswolds

The Barracks was an amazing property! Great Location close to many of the most beautiful towns in the Cotswolds. The House has all that you would need! Great for 5-6 people, families or groups of friends. We enjoyed our time immensely! Would highly recommend

Second time in the Barracks

We stayed in the Barracks a second time now. We felt very happy and found ourselves in a wonderful house in a small village with nature and quiteness we loved. And if we liked we visited the villages around with Culture, high-level shops and Restaurants and Cafés. And of cause we love sheep and cows and owls&Co. We will come back.

Quiet stay, off the tourist track in the Cotswolds

We had a very nice time staying in The Barracks, very quiet and peaceful. The sheep on the hill were well behaved. Lovely bucolic location. The welcome book was very complete and helpful; we especially like the detailed directions for finding the property. Ample parking for our 2 hire cars. Unfortunately, we found a few spiders in several rooms. Suggestions: Please label switches which shouldn't be turned off -- we accidentally turned off the freezer one day. A little oil on the hinges would be nice -- several doors squeak rather loudly. Overall, it was our favourite place we stayed in during our 2 week visit to Southern England.

Beautiful house in a great setting

The Barracks is a beautiful and historic house of the 17th century. It is called the Barracks as it was used for this purpose in the civil war.The house was comfortable and modernised without losing too much of its historic atmosphere. The gardens are extensive and full of flowers and interest. It was a great place for our grandchildren, 7 and 12 to play.

Short stay at The Barracks

A substantial accommodation, large rooms and decent kitchen area. All heating was off when we arrived and 6 degrees c outside and similar inside, as it’s a big, old property with central heating, it was the second day before it was starting to become comfortable, and warm just as we were leaving. The seating in the main sitting room needs replacing as very little support left in the chairs and sofa, so we used other rooms. The wood burner is very nice addition, bring your own logs if you intend to use it for more than one day, as that’s what is supplied. If you are uncomfortable with spiders bring your own duster / trap as the property is by open fields and farm land and so some have taken up residence.

Nice house in pretty village

Our stay was overall a good one, the property grounds are lovely, as is the village and good food at The Sherborne Arms just 10 minutes easy walk away. We were two families with kids, so we enjoyed playing badminton, football, the gas bbq and board games. The property is a little on the tired side, not as fresh at the pictures but it’s still perfectly fine, could do with more fridge space for drinks. The property is adjoining a small house to one side, which we didn’t mind but were just conscious we were bbqing outside someone else’s window. It’s not obvious from the photos. On arrival there was animal poo on the lawn, we reported it and were told it must be a wild animal as no pets allowed. The following day we had two more surprises arrive, so there is definitely a regular uninvited guest! Not much you can do about that. The communication from the property manager was good. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Barracks and would recommend it.

Lovely Family House with beautiful garden

We loved this property. Well equipped spacious kitchen (good quality saucepans ) with little surprises like a good selection of herbs and spices, coffee beans. Lots of interesting books in the library for both adults and children. A beautiful walled garden with fields and nice walks nearby. Plenty of space for a family of 5 or 6. A wood fire ( not needed as the property was already nice and warm). We would have been happy there for months!

Beautiful house with loads of space inside and out

We had a wonderful week at the Barracks despite miserable weather. The house is larger than it looks in the photographs and is extremely comfortable. We loved the library on the landing ( a fantastic collection ) and enjoyed playing the honkey tonk piano. For an old house it was very warm and the wood burner in the large sitting room ensured it was super cosy in the evening. The beds were comfortable and the house was spotlessly clean. There is an enormous garden, split into three sections, which I am sure in the Summer will be amazing. Geographically it is perfectly situated for visits to Oxford, Cirencester, Cheltenham, Stroud etc as well as picture postacard Cotswold villages. We would definitely visit again.
