17th century converted barn in Cotswolds stone- 5 mins from Bourton On The Water

This dog friendly property is a recently converted mid 17th century grain barn that sleeps up to 6. It has two double rooms but has a delightful shepherds hut that provides a further bed and facilities . The Barn has many of the original beams and features and is in a quiet village very near to all the amenities of the famous town of Bourton On The Water. The Barn has all the facilities you need - wifi, tvs in each room, a well equiped kitchen, bbq, hairdryers, car charger and a log burner to cosy in on colder evenings . Have a little stroll around our garden and help yourself to the apples from our small but beautiful orchard. Whilst Clapton On The Hill is in a small hamlet providing you with peace and quiet, it is only minutes away from ‘the venice of the Cotswolds’ and a short drive to other popular towns such as Burford and Stow. There are plenty of beautiful country pubs to try in the surrounding villages.

Lovely house and location

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. Almost perfect! Would have liked a lock on the upstairs bathroom door, but other than that it was fabulous!

Janey’s home is exceptional. She was very quick to respond to questions and made every effort to address our needs. We loved having modern amenities with all the charm of this converted barn in a small village. The property includes a small apple orchard, lovely garden and patio with table and chairs. My 19 year old son loved the privacy he got in the shepherd’s hut located next to the main house-(double bed with a sink/ toilet separated from the bedroom area by a curtain). The location was an ideal for exploring the Cotswolds. The New Inn in neighboring Coln St. Aldwyns was an outstanding find for delicious, creative food and friendly staff. We spent 5 days and easily could have spent more time.

Overall a lovely stay

The cottage is warm and comfortable and its proximity to Bourton a definite plus. The only reason I put good instead of excellent is because the beds are not king sized as listed (as far as an American king - perhaps UK sizing is different) and although a dryer is listed as an amenity, there is only a washer w/ drying line

Beautiful Cotswolds Barn Stay

We travelled as a family group of 5 adults. Such a beautiful place to stay and a good base for exploring the area. The Barn had everything we needed and was clean and warm with comfortable beds! Thank you a wonderful break and we would highly recommend.

A short, two night, break at The Barn was very homely and relaxing. The weather didn’t behave but that didn’t dampen a lovely and welcoming stay. The host was first class with communication which is always a bonus. Highly recommend this property.

Christmas Bliss

Escaped the crazy, and embraced peace. The Barn is a perfect place to unwind. Clean, spacious, with a well equipped kitchen and comfy beds. Located in a quiet cul de sac in a small hamlet miles from the noise; and yet within a short drive to good pubs and country shops. This is an our second Christmas at The Barn. It’s a gem.

Fabulous Stay

We were so pleased to settle in this gorgeous home for our four day stay. Everything we needed was provided. The beds were the most comfortable we had slept in during our five week UK trip. The house was impeccably clean and spacious. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a stay in the Cotswold.
