We had the most amazing short break at Barebones Farm with our extended family. The property is very spacious but still cosy, the owners have thought of everything. The kitchen and bathrooms are all lovely and the house spotless. The weather whilst we were there was dreadful but it just meant we spent more time in this fabulous house which was such a treat .

We rented Barebones to celebrate my father in laws 80th Birthday. We were a party of 11. The house was beautiful, clean and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed for our group. We had a lovely weekend and wouldn't hesitate to book again. I don't really have anything else to say because it was just perfect!

Perfect accommodation for self catering holiday. Contact with our host was easy and prompt. We loved the mixture of twin and double beds and the walking option to village shops: bakery, butcher, supermarket. We had a wonderful holiday.

Barebones Farm is spacious and well equipped. The beds are comfortable and all showers are powerful and hot. The location is excellent for walking, we did not need to use our cars at all other than to drive to Cheltenham Park Run. We were lucky with the weather but there is a well stocked games cupboard and dvd collection in case of rainy days. We would definitely consider going again.

An exceptionally well equipped, clean and comfortable home. Our 4th visit and the house was as fresh and clean as we found it the first time. The garden is very private and a lovely safe space for children to play in. The location is so convenient for a short walk to a children's playground, and all other village amenities. Perfect for a large family group to relax and enjoy time together, with no need to go beyond Winchcombe. .

Our family Christmas at Barebones Farm was wonderful. The house is perfect for a large group. The extremely well equipped kitchen was ideal for preparing our Christmas meals and being in the center of Winchcombe meant we had plenty of choices for eating out too. The location is great with access to amazing walks right from our front door. I thoroughly recommend Barebones Farm.

We had a very pleasant stay at the house and really enjoyed the open planned layout in a traditional building. The garden was a hit with the kids as well. Everything was clean and the bedrooms exceeded our expectations. The staff at Bolthole were also very responsive to any questions.

We came to stay at Barebones farm as it was my daughter’s wedding and we needed a place large enough for all the family plus a few of the bridesmaids! We had an excellent stay. The house was beautifully clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed the bright conservatory room as a place to sit and enjoy views of the fabulous large garden. Comfy beds with lovely bedding. The location is right in the heart of Winchcombe so easy walking to all the local shops and amenities and also to the castle. The hosts were very welcoming and allowed us early check in so we had enough time to prepare ourselves for the big day. I thoroughly recommend.

Barebones Farm was a great place to stay for our family get together - great accommodation and within walking distance of all amenities. Communication was good. Liz even messaged me about roadworks in the area to assist in our journey. The only minor thing was that the house was cold on arrival but it quickly warmed up when the radiators were turned on. Would definitely recommend

We were a family group of 14 and had a great three days together celebrating New Year. The property was exactly as described and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the best features was being able to sit all 14 of us around the dining table. It was in the centre of Winchcombe so ideal for local pubs and restaurants without having to use the car. I would definitely recommend.

10/10

We are a family of 12, ranging in age from 11 months to teenagers, parents and grandparents. The house was very well equipped, with lots of space for everyone and a large garden for the children to play. Liz, the owner, was extremely helpful.,The village has several cafes, pubs and shops, with two grocery stores.,There also are many excellent pubs with food in nearby villages It has not been overrun by tourists as many of the villages have, but is a nice village and has charming Sudeley Castle with its adventure playground and animal sculptures. I would recommend as a destination for a trip with a large family.

Our large group stayed at Barebones Farm and were very pleased with the accommodations. It’s a lovely property with a beautiful garden and well-appointed rooms. The conservatory was a particularly inviting place to relax. Our only regret was that our hectic schedule kept us from fully enjoying everything the property had to offer. Liz, the owner, was more than willing to satisfy our requests and bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at BF again.

We were a multigenerational family staying at Barebones, celebrating missed time together & all the family birthdays missed during the last 2 years. We had a lovely time in this spacious,unique property. Liz & Steve are such nice hosts, so kind & helpful, we appreciated the welcome goodies! The location is a quieter base to explore the Cotswolds from & ideal for the Steam Railway. We loved the garden, the kitchen, the conservatory & dining room...such great communal areas to meet up in. The property is indeed, quite magical, ideal for extended family celebrations, so well equipped for all generations.

Barebones farm is quite simply, perfect. 14 members of our family stayed for a weekend in August in 2024, and had a wonderful break thanks to the spacious living areas, comfortable beds, ample bathrooms, and all the facilities you'd require. The house is in the perfect location, a short walk from several pubs, restaurants and shops. Not only that, it is a 20/30 minute drive to all the attractions, including Bourton on the Water, and Stow on the Wold. However, what really made Barebones Farm incredible for us, was the garden, which is a wonderful size for dogs, and children alike to play in, while the huge outdoor seating area provided adults the perfect place to relax in the sun. Inside, there is a snug for teenagers to retreat to, and downstairs a double bedroom with an ensuite for elderly relatives to stay. On top of all this, Barebones Farm was extremely clean, well maintained, and had literally everything you could possibly think of in terms of kitchen equipment, BBQ, towels, washing machine, dryer, iron, you name it, it was there. Overall, Barebones gave us the feeling that we were staying at a friends home, rather than a rental property, and it instantly felt like we'd be visiting for years. If you're looking for a home in the Cotswolds to house a large group, look no further, Barebones Farm is about all good as it gets, and we will certainly be returning in the years to come.
