Wonderful house, hosts & location

The owls nest barn is a lovely place to stay, all the rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. It’s well appointed with everything you need. Being in a working farm makes it so much fun, seeing the cows come in and go out in the morning is a highlight. The hosts are very responsive and friendly. Martyn the farmer introduced us to the cows and calves, chickens and kittens!

A wonderful stay

Owl’s Nest was the perfect family getaway retreat. Stocked with everything you could possibly need, it was a fantastic break. The sounds of cows and swallows woke us up each day and there was space for all 9 of us to spread out. A great stay, we would love to be back.

Beautiful stay at Owls Nest

We stayed for a week at Owl's Nest Barn. The property was exactly as pictured online and had everything we needed. We chose it due to location and the fact it had two ground floor bedrooms, which was important for my father in law who has limited mobility and he had no problems staying here. Communication from the hosts was great and easy. They were very welcoming and lovely and provided a starter pack of milk, bread and a delicious lemon drizzle. The oven and stove were a bit trickly to figure out, but we managed most nights. The outdoor space was lovely. Had lots of fun playing table tennis. The surrounding property is beautiful and we enjoyed walks up to the ponds and to the church. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.

A beautiful farm retreat

This is a beautifully designed and well appointed converted farm building, well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are spacious and light and tastefully furnished. The owners gave us a warm welcome and were easily contactable if we needed them. A delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake on arrival hit the spot. The surrounding countryside is really peaceful and it was lovely to observe the cows arriving for milking each day but many Cotswold attractions are within easy reach.

Ideal property

The property is very comfortable, modern and spotless. The provision of an outside table tennis table was a bonus. The owners were very helpful, courteous and available though not interfering. The barn is on a working farm. The property is fully equipped with all you need. Would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful house, great host

We stayed at Owls Nest Barn (on brook Farm) near Gloucester and the house was absolutely wonderful. Everything looked brand new, beautiful big kitchen diner and flowing through to the spacious lounge area. 4 huge bedrooms with lovely comfy beds and bathrooms. Immaculately clean. David the host was so helpful and took time to show us around the farm. Useful outside area under cover with seating, and table tennis (and bbq but we did not use). A really wonderful place to stay.

A wonderful stay

Just got back from a wonderful stay at Owls Nest Barn. The accommodation is lovely, lots of lovely touches- very comfy beds, great well equipped kitchen, lovely soft massive towels etc. The homemade lemon drizzle cake was a wonderful welcome! The location is amazing - we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the farm working busily around us. You really are staying in the farm with this accommodation, we loved watching the cows coming out of the milking shed everyday and walking down to their field. David (the host) and his family were so lovely and took time to chat to us and answer our farm questions. We all loved our tour of the farm , meeting the calves was so special. It was a great opportunity for our kids (and us!) to learn more about where our food comes from. There are plenty of lovely places to visit within a reasonable distance. We did Gloucester, Forest of Dean and more local places. We even headed to Birmingham one day for Cadbury World. I would absolutely recommend Owls Nest Barn for families, groups of couples etc. 4 great sized bedrooms and bathrooms is so handy. A lovely relaxation peaceful location- we just felt guilty for sitting around enjoying the world going by when the farmers were all so busy! Thanks so much for having us.

Absolutely beautiful

Owl’s Nest Barn is a stunning property which provided us friends with a perfect place to get together. Everything was just about perfect - beautifully and comfortably furnished and decorated with everything you could possibly need to relax. Comfy beds and lovely linen, lovely bathrooms with plenty of hot water and fluffy towels. Well appointed kitchen and a super lounge to sit and watch tv or listen to music. Spotlessly clean and well maintained with friendly and welcoming hosts, we had a marvellous weekend and will surely be back! Hugely recommended!! One thing - a better sign from both sides of the entrance would make the property easier to find in the dark, but other than that, perfection for us.

Luxury country escape

The house is surrounded by green Cotswold hills, located on a small farm. Friendly owners who welcomed us on arrival. The house was so well equipped we had no need to bother the owners The house is newly furnished to a very high specification. Large kitchen with everything you need to cook up a feast. Generous sized bedrooms with comfortable beds and five bathrooms Also comes equipped with wood burner and EV charger if needed

Wonderful Place, Brilliant Location, Great for all the Family

Owls Nest Barn is a fabulous place to stay. Located in the middle of the countryside you are still only 10/15 minutes away from Stroud and Gloucester making it a perfect spot. The barn has been converted to such a high spec with lots of details thought of for a stay for 9. Amazing kitchen meant eating out wasn't always necessary which was appreciated when there are so many of us and the use of an amazing BBQ made for a lovely evening meal one night. David, Martyn and Claire made us feel unbelievably welcome as well as the rest of the farm staff and family. Having 4 bathrooms was brilliant as well as the extra downstairs cloakroom. The table tennis table got a lot of use and our evening strolls took us round the area to explore. I couldn't recommend this rental more highly and wish them all the best for their future.

A fantastic weekend at Owls Nest Barn

We had an absolutely brilliant stay at Owls Nest Barn last weekend. David was very helpful from the moment we made contact and was really kind through the booking process. When we arrived the house was stocked with all the essentials including milk, cake and bread! A lovely touch. Everything in the house had just been kitted out with the most up to date appliances and had been done to a very high spec. David came to show us how to use the lights, electric blinds and various other things to make our stay really special. The beds were incredible, bedding lovely, showers clean and powerful. We had no trouble with running low on hot water or not being able to use anything. There wasn't a single complaint all weekend and everyone had a brilliant time. Thank you so much.

Stunning home

We had a fantastic stay at Owls nest farm. The photos do not show how stunning this property is. it's very new, immaculate, done to such a high standard. Beds super comfy, high quality furniture. Showers excellent. Enough seating for everyone round a beautiful large kitchen table. Comfortable seating in loung for us all. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely welcome gifts, delicious homemade lemon drizzle, bread and milk. Table tennis was a hit in the courtyard under the old calf shed. Beautiful decking/sestubg area.perfect space for a friends catch up of 3 couples and 3 children. Great location to explore Cotswolds. It is a working farm which the children found very exciting. Outdoor space to play in courtyard but not enclosed to allow for parking. David and his family were very welcoming and communication was great. They even let us check out late which was greatly appreciated. We'd love to stay again.
