About this property

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.

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

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.

Just lovely

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.

Stunning property

A girlfriend and I wanted a few days R and R. This stunning property and location fitted the bill. The beds were so comfortable! Felt cocooned for a few days. Just what we needed. Would recommend the property to anyone wanted to get away from it all. Only downside was the check in process as it was dark by 4pm. We struggled to find the property despite good directions and then found we could not see very well to open the key box.

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.

Absolutely wonderful

I stayed here with a friend for 4 nights - we were exploring the Cotswold's area. The Barn is a delightful place to stay and much impressed my American visitor. It is exquisitely furnished with many lovely touches and is clean as clean can be. The host was responsive and access was easy. The heating worked and the beds were so comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here. It is a small quiet village, but easy access (by car) to all Cotswold towns and villages. A gift for walkers - access to many paths from the house. Thank you Janey for sharing this wonderful property.

Lovely character property. Nice open plan living with enough comfortable seating for the 5 of us and a good size dining table and chairs. Kitchen is a good size with everything you need and a big refrigerator / freezer. Good size 2 double bedrooms and the 3rd double bedroom in the shepherds hut is unique and was comfortable and warm even in a huge thunder storm. Good off road parking. Really enjoyed our stay.

A Perfect Cotswold Experience

This is the picture postcard Cotswold experience. Staying in a rustic converted barn, with a cottage style garden, overlooking the rolling hills and fields. We had the best time in a beautifully kept property. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Rooms are spacious and modern. Technology is great and you have everything you need for the perfect experience.

Great little place to stay family of four

Well appointed, spacious and cozy. In a very quiet little area but close to many amenities and attractions in the Cotswolds. My 14 year old said it best at dinner one night when he said, “Dad I’m really glad we got this place”

It was literally a privilege to stay here. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Comfortable, homey, had everything you could possibly want, attention to detail was extraordinary, comfortable rooms and beds, spacious, immaculate kitchens living area, beautifully manicured lawns and orchard. Honestly, the photos don’t do this property justice. We will absolutely book here again. Lovely 40 min walk through fields into bourton on the water, an easy car ride to visit nearby villages and restaurants. Only hiccup was finding the property once we reached the intersection coming in a different way, but was simple enough given how small the village center is :). Incredibly relaxing stay, we are filled with gratitude.
