Short stay at Granary Barn

A lovely Cotswold retreat in an excellent area. Very convenient to get around to several other villages. The property has an electric charger which was very useful. The garden that we could use was very inviting. A lovely relaxing stay.

Perfect stay!

We stayed here for 2 nights and it was the perfect break! The house is beautiful with all the amenities you need. The garden was lovely and our dog thoroughly enjoyed running around and seeing the sheep every morning. The surrounding were amazing and incredibly peaceful. Would definitely recommend staying here and we will be returning next year!

A Lovely Quiet Cottage

The Granary was a lovely quiet cottage with a large lounge, with dining room and kitchen upstairs. Jennifer was very helpful as we stored our bikes in the garage. It was a great location to cycle from, as well as visiting National Trust properties, going for walks and visiting nice towns. Would recommend Crocodile place near Burford.

Beautiful location for a family celebration

We had a lovely weekend and the cottage was great in a great location. Weather was good and we enjoyed sitting on the deck. The dogs also enjoyed playing in the garden. Thank you.

Great stay with the family

Beautiful location, lovely warm accommodation, we enjoyed the views and had everything we needed for a family get away. Easy reach of Blenheim and great base for visiting. Was very cold during our stay, the Granary was very warm and cosy. EV charger available. Good communication with host who kindly posted back home left item. A great stay and we will visit again

Amazing property in beautiful location.

The Granary exceeded all expectations! The property is beautiful, comfortable and clean and the upside down set up with the bedrooms downstairs came in really handy with the current heatwave as they stayed lovely and cool. We had full use of the huge garden, just to sit and relax or play with the dog.

Such a cosy property

A wonderful find! Such attention to detail. Care has been taken so that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Very peaceful and easy to find. It's closeness to Stratford and Oxford made it a good location . Will come again

Disappointing

The grounds were beautiful and the ground floor bedrooms looked comfortable. However, upstairs had an invasion of cluster flies & house flies on all doors & windows. We felt unable to use the kitchen or other facilities. As it was getting dark and we had overseas guests, we made arrangements for alternative accomodation. We were refused a refund as we didn't wait for the flies to be removed, even though we were informed that they would return in the morning.

Great house in lovely surroundings

Very nice house. The excellent weather meant we could enjoy the lovely garden and balcony sun trap. Lots of space for us (3 adults) and our dog. EV charger a great bonus and easy to arrange it's use with the owner.

Beautiful surroundings

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Granary at Rectory Farm. The accommodation was spacious and had all the facilities needed. The garden was stunning and the views from the upstairs living area was beautiful. We also vey much enjoyed the selection of games and books available. There were a few things that could be improved. The doors at either end upstairs were dirty and needed cleaning, one of the doors upstairs we could not lock, the seating outside had a rip in one of the rattan chairs, there was a missing railing on the balcony that could be dangerous and part of the decking needed replacing. There was a chipped cup in the downstairs toilet that would be best removed and a broken ornament of a hare on the balcony that didn't need to be there. The master bed was also extremely soft but that is a personal taste. All of the above are however small things that did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay.

Lovely place with a couple of improvements

The property is lovely, its got everything you need! There were a couple of things which were broken such as the bin which is a bit unhygienic, and also currently the other property on the land is being renovated, so it was a bit of a building site. Other than those things it was great. The communication was very fast and accommodating. Would recommend.

Short break

Ideal place to stay, surrounded by fields, a beautiful garden and very peaceful. The place was comfortable with all we needed, kitchen well equipped and everything was easy to find. The guidance and welcome pack were extremely helpful. We found the place with ease and enjoyed the drive through the country. We will be recommending the place to friends.

Lovely property location - terrible disruptive buiding works !

Unfortunately the stay was far from meeting our expectations of a nice holiday or that of previous ones at other rental properties due to the building work issues . Firstly on arrival the property looked like a building site with the field in front of the property full of builders paraphernalia, stacks of bricks, large holes and plant equipment etc. The driveway had compromised access due to the works encroachment and the owned had trouble placing her car where it would not cause an obstruction for the whole visit. The building site was actually right next to the property and not a small portion of the garden as stated, which was not what we were expecting especially as the property has the bedrooms on the ground floor with large windows looking right onto the building site. We turned a blind eye to this as your note below ensured the works would not detract from our holiday, however when we met the owner our concerns were raised again as she kept reiterating this point that the building work would not impact on us which made us very suspicious. Rightly so as soon as the builders came onsite the next day at 7am, the noise started, clanking of bricks and trowels, drilling, radios, plant equipment diggers etc moving right past the property bedroom windows where we were trying to sleep with two primary aged children. This was only exacerbated by the fact the area is so quiet without the building activities which is the reason we came on the holiday in the first place. We had to therefore keep the blinds permanently closed in these rooms to avoid builders (young men) being able to see straight into the bedrooms of my wife and young children. This came to a head one morning when the owner came ringing on the doorbell when we were trying to have breakfast wanting her plumbers to come into the property to do some testing. this was more of an ultimatum as opposed to a request but either way totally in appropriate. This resulted in a health and safety issue afterwards where the plumbers had accessed a manhole right next to the property and left the cover off with no warnings signs or barriers which our children could have fallen straight into. No one ever followed up or came back to close this so we had to replace the cover ourselves for safety reasons. The driveway was constantly obstructed by cars and vans at different times and as the property is at the end of the drive it was difficult to get in or out when needed adding unnecessary stress to the holiday. Again this came to a head one day as an additional van appeared one day completely blocking us in and when we wanted to go out in approaching the worker were met with an attitude of why it was so difficult and we should not have been there. His manner during this exchange resulted in much distress for my wife and caused one of our children to cry, which was totally unacceptable. It is our opinion that the property should not have been offered for rent during this building works period

Characterful barn conversion in excellent location but some cleanliness issues

The "upside down" house works well and, as the weather was very good, the decking area was a great asset. It's in a perfect location with Stratford, Broadway, Bourton on the Water and many other beautiful places within a 30 min drive. The beds and the lounge area were very comfortable but there were some disappointing aspects of cleanliness (mouldy bread in the bread bin, socks on the bedroom floor and the kitchen sink and the surfaces could have been cleaner too). The heat built up a lot and a visit from Boris the bat discouraged us from leaving the doors open! However, the setting is great, the garden wonderful and the owner was quick to deal with the one query we raised. WiFi and television options further ensured that we had an enjoyable stay. We would return.

Delightful stay

We had a fantastic short break in the Barn. Everything we could possibly need for a family of 5 with teenagers. Comfortable and beautifully decorated throughout. Lovely views and outdoor space too. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
