The property is brand new, spotless and the best equipped we have stayed in. Central to visit the Cotswolds, Cheltenham and Hereford. We will definitely be back.

The Barn was extremely comfortable, and there was nothing that hadn't been thought of - extremely well-equipped property. Sharon was very welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble. She even managed to provide great weather too!! Amazing! The Barn was situated right on the edge of the Forest of Dean, and the Cotswold towns of Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water etc. were all within an easy drive. Recommendations of The Glasshouse Inn and the Fairview Garden Centre (for a garden centre and tea room/breakfast/lunch) across the road were on point and well-worth a visit. Would definitely return to this property if holidaying in the area again, and would highly recommend. Thank you Sharon x

All of our needs were catered for and we used it as a base to explore the surrounding areas, including Gloucester, the forest of Dean and Ross on wye. Our 2 little dogs loved the outside area, which was fully enclosed and safe for them. We had a lovely little welcome hamper on arrival, and the hottub was a nice touch too. Sharon the owner lives at the end of the drive, and was on hand straight away if there was any issues or quiries. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely holiday home. We look forward to returning again in the future
