Lovely Place

We loved the big garden and the planes flying over. The annexe was nice and spacious and had everything we needed. We could find it easily and it was great that we could park the car just outside our place. Our dog also had a great time and we weren't too far away from the wonderful villages in the Cotswolds area. We had a great time here and were sorry we had to leave.

Situated in a secluded spot

Lovely quiet situation - but on the flight path to Brize Norton which was busy during our stay. May be worth mentioning in the brief for the property.

A fantastic bolt hole!

We had a fantastic long weekend at Coursehill Barn - the barn conversion is very well done and comfortable. There was also the use of the field which was good for our dog to enjoy running around in.

Beautiful, quiet and comfortable spot

It was lovely to wake up to the views and watch the big sky at night. The house was very comfortable and with everything one needed, it was also warm. James our contact and the management company were very quick to reply when I contacted them. I would definitely stay there again.

Weekend Stay

Very nice location, property very clean and tidy our dog loved the additional field for his excercise. The journey into Witney took about 5 minutes depending on traffic. As an aircraft enthusiast you are on the flight path for Brize Norton. This is our second visit and will definitely come again.

Peaceful getaway.

The annex was lovely. Quiet location. Lovely big garden for the dog to play in. Close to lake walks and fishing lakes if that's what you like to do. Didn't take advantage of the local area as we were unable to take our dog to many places but was ideal to de- stress and unwind.

A well located property

The Annex was in a good location and the field for dog walking was ideal, one thing to be aware of is the farm complex is on the flight path for low aircraft going into Brize Norton, but being a aircraft enthusiast I was able to get some good photos. The rooms were clean and the large lounge/kitchen area were ideal for our Spaniel. Would like to come back.

Beautiful place to stay

We stayed in this Annex as it was close to landmarks we wanted to visit within Oxfordshire. The Annex is gorgeous, very spacious and very cosy. It's in a very tucked away location yet close to amenities. Its surrounded by a few other beautiful properties but nonetheless very quiet. Only thing we picked up on was the dog hair on the bed throw and on the mat on the living room. All in all, a lovely place to stay and would definitely stay again!

Real gem

This is a lovely place to stay. Idyllic location on a farm. Ideal for dogs due to large garden and field adjoining the property. Inside was tastefully decorated and well appointed with everything you need for your stay. Plenty of room for parking. You do get the occasional noise from planes at nearby RAF Brize Norton, but that didn't bother us.

A Pleasant stay

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Annexe, which was very well fitted out and had good quality towels and bed linen. The kitchen was very well equipped and roomy. The location was good and was easy accessible to Witney. Brize Norton was close by so aircraft were fairly frequent but not too intrusive and we found them interesting to watch. The only slight problem was that the bed appeared to be narrower than what we are normally used to. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and we would certainly stay at the property again.

Relaxing Country Break near Cotswolds

Super barn conversion - ideal for a couple. Use of large garden and adjoining field a bonus for our dog. Only 5 minutes to A40 and 15 minutes to Burford gateway to Cotswolds. Plenty of planes overhead from Brize Norton which added to the fun of our stay - warming up for the airshow. We were very lucky with the weather so would recommend this cottage for an outdoors holiday.

Coursehill Barn Annex

Great rural location with good local facilities. The accommodation was clean, well maintained and offered all we required for our stay. For a one bedroom property the vaulted ceilings added to the spacious layout. The setting proved ideal for daily dog walks and an excellent base for exploring both the Cotswolds and other interesting locations. The flights into Brize Norton added to the ambiance without being intrusive. Overall my wife and I thought the Annex was an excellent find, we really enjoyed our stay assisted by good weather.

February short break in the Cotswolds

We stayed at Coursehill Barn Annexe for 4 nights in February 2025. The location was convenient for visiting Oxford and the Cotswolds but the access road was quite potholed and bumpy. The what3words directions did not work and we were initially directed down the wrong road, fortunately we arrived during daylight otherwise it may have been quite tricky. The barn itself is very airy and warm with lovely views out onto the fields and countryside. We felt that the cleanliness could have been better, there were dirty pans, freezer and oven. The shower plug hole was also full of hair. It felt a little bit unloved, which is a shame as the fittings and furniture had obviously been of good quality. Although these might seem small issues it does impact on the general feel of a place. If the above issues are addressed I would recommend it to others.

Absolutely perfect spot.

Absolutely perfect spot for us to stay whilst visiting our daughter who is based at RAF Brize Norton. We arrived around 8:30pm on a dark, damp evening not knowing what to expect, so the cosy beautiful Barn was a lovely welcome. Everything was where you would expect it to be and we had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Upon awakening the next day, the views out of the rear windows were beautiful and the access to local footpaths were ideal for a long, frosty walk with our Labrador, April. Facilities are great, nice shower, spacious rooms and easy to find and park right outside. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Lovely spacious well equipped property

A bit out of the way to find as our sat nav did not take us to the property as it is down an unmade road! It is a lovely spacious property, very well equipped with fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave and oven. We particularly liked the hallway entrance lobby with space for shoes, bags and dog leads. The remote controlled skylights were fabulous and very welcome in the hot weather, especially at night to get a cool breeze. From reading the other reviews about planes from Brize Norton we were pleasantly surprised how quiet it was during our weekend break. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay - as did our spaniel - who made good use of the dog friendly garden and paddock.

Good break away in lovely barn.

The barn was lovely and clean,when we arrived,though some of the light bulbs in the bathroom and hall way and the shower didn't work,but didn't make a difference to us,left a note to let the owners know. The bed was comfy and the barn had everything you needed. I would just say it would be good to mention,that the duvet and maybe pillows are goose down,as some people could be allergic to them.Brize Nortonis nearby,so you do get a few planes come over. We ould definitely come back.

Spacious barn annexe

This is a spacious barn annexe with lots of equipment and a comfortable bed. High shelves and a deep bath were a bit of a challenge for a short and mildly disabled person but the only significant problem I had was the close proximity to RAF Brize Norton. I was woken 2 nights out of 3 by planes going over in the middle of the night. Not a place for a light sleeper

Coursehill barn annex November 2022

Overall the property was clean and the location good (we don't mind planes overhead). The dog enjoyed the exercise space that was made available. The provision of equipment was generally satisfactory although a coffee table on which to put cups when sitting on the sofa would have been nice. A few more directions such as the location of bins and what to put in them would also have been appreciated. The only real problem we had was that we were cold, even though we were loaned a thick blanket (thankyou James). The property was cold when we arrived and took quite a long time to heat up. We would happily return in warmer weather.

Here and There

We stayed here for a few nights before journeying on. The Annexe was clean and tidy on arrival with everything in its place so no problem there. The property lacked a few facilities though. Call me old fashioned if you like but there was no teapot or any wine glasses. Also the settee cushions need recovering. For the more savvy, the WIFI is strong and the TV good. Nice and peaceful with access to large lawned garden with plenty of bird life to see. Also under the approach to Brize Norton so some aircraft spotting. Airbus A400, C17 Globemaster and Voyager aircraft. Not intrusive though. Witney is a nice town and would you believe it, parking is free in the multi story car park for four hours. That’s to be admired, a forward thinking council. The 20 mph speed limits are a nuisance though, but that’s just my opinion. Overall a good few days. Oh and take in in the owners advice and use the north entrance from the road. The track down to the place is a bit rough.
