• "The Long Barn is a gorgeous property - full of character and charm - perfect for my family of four, not to mention the lovely well kept garden outside with its stone steps and ample barbecue area."

  Duntisbourne Abbotts is perfectly quaint and well hidden from more touristy villages, offering loads of walking pathways to explore. Being only miles away from both Cheltenham and Cirencester, there is plenty to do and enjoy! Would love to visit again!

  Thanks Hira See you again maybe Charles Property Owner

• "The cottage is true to its word - a converted barn with original features surrounded by a lovely garden."

  . Owner Charles is always available, friendly and helpful, and even left us a bottle of wine and flowers upon arrival! The cottage is perfectly situated in an idyllic charming Cotswolds village with plenty of walks through surrounding fields with sheep. The village even has the longest ford in England! You are also a short drive from plenty of nice pubs and towns such as Cirencester and there is plenty for kids to do with the arboretum and the safari park. All in, there is plenty to cater to all ages but if you prefer a peaceful escape you can get that too.

• "We had an outstanding two weeks staying at Long Barn in the beautiful hamlet of Duntisbourne Abbots."

  The accommodation was well appointed and the barn's 17th century origins provided a lovely ambiance blending stylish English interior design with functional space. We made daily outings to the many gorgeous villages, gardens and historical sites that the Cotswolds has to offer, however, at the end of the day we looked forward to returning to ‘our’ village and the Long Barn, especially because it is off the beaten path with no tourists in sight. In fact, we saw more horses, cows and sheep than cars. Our host Charles could not have been more hospitable and provided us with both privacy and helpful suggestions to make the most of our stay. We highly recommend The Long Barn. Thanks Charles.

• "We actually booked through booking."

  Com and were very surprised to be contacted by your organisation, Sykes Cottages. This was not at all clear to us, when we booked. Although Sykes Cottages staff is very helpful and accurate, we feel that it is not OK that we should be working with two organisations, it was very confusing. When booking with booking.com, we like to have all communication through booking.com, not another organisation. This has cost us a lot of money due to the extra calls to the UK. Feedback on the holiday has been given on the site of booking.com, we are not going to do this twice.

  Seine Empfehlungen zu verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten sind sehr hilfreich. Die Lage ist perfekt um die Cotswolds zu erkunden. Wer Ruhe sucht oder die Umgebung sehen möchte kann innerhalb einer Stunde Bath, Oxford, Cheltenham und alle weiteren Sehenswürdigkeiten der Region erreichen. Eine gute Mischung aus Erholung und Sightseeing. Im Cottage ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, im Charme und Style der Region.

• "L Long Barn e` situato su una piccola collina nella frazione di Duntisbourne Abbots, immerso nella campagna inglese."

  Ideale per una vacanza in coppia o in famiglia se cercate un break in piena quiete, pace e natura. Il Barn e' molto ben tenuto ed attrezzato: dispone di 2 camere da letto con magnifiche travi, inoltre e` dotato di un giardino estremamente ben curato, con tavolo, sedie ed un comodissimo bbq a gas! A meno di 30 minuti potrete visitare i pittoreschi villaggi di Bibury, Bourton on the Water e Stow on the Wold, nonché i resti della villa romana di Chedworth e immergervi nello spirito della campagna inglese visitando i pubs intorno a Duntisbourne Abbotts.

• "Schon die Ankunft in Duntisbourne Abbots war traumhaft: Das Dorf ähnelt den Herbergen der Hobbits in Tolkiens Herr der Ringe."

  Alle Häuser sind aus dem typischen Cotswolds Stone gebaut und mit individuellen Gärten umgeben. Genauso wie das Dorf ist The Long Barn urig - oder wie die Engländer gerne sagen "quirky". Trotzdem ist aller Komfort vorhanden, den man im Urlaub heute braucht. Genossen haben wir vor allem die Abende draußen im Garten. Charles war immer gut gelaunt und auf dem Weg von oder zur Arbeit an einem kleinen Pläuschchen interessiert. Er hat uns auch einige gute Tipps für Ausflüge gegeben. Die Lage der Wohnung ist ideal, um das Zentrum der Cotswolds zu erkunden. Am besten haben uns Lower Slaughter und Upper Slaughter gefallen - die Ruhe und Harmonie dort ist umwerfend. Wir haben eine rundum tolle Woche in The Long Barn verbracht! Thank you Charles!

• "The long barn has been beautifully renovated."

  Its quirky and tastefully decorated and we loved our week there with our two children. The owner Charles is friendly, charming,interesting to talk to and extremely helpful and understanding. He went out of his way to help us after we had unknowingly left something behind. The garden is lovely,with BBQ and dining area. We had great weather for the entire week and got great use of it which was fantastic as it was something that was important to us when we made the original booking. The Long Barn is a great base to go and explore the beautiful Cotswolds. We cant wait to return to the area and would book here again. We would highly recommend the location, the property and the owner.

  The property is quirky but very well thought out and everything has been put together to a high standard. Everything we needed was to hand. We had good weather for the whole week and being able to relax in the lovely garden in the sunshine in the evening after a day's walking was delightful. We would highly commend the location, the property and the owner

• "This barn rental was not our first choice."

  The owner of our original booking 'pulled the plug' a week before our arrival date. Sykes reacted quickly and within a couple of hours we agreed the barn alternative. This was unexpectedly good service. The Long Barn is tastefully furnished. It was very clean and the bed linen first class. It lacks a discrete shower and the bath tub, although equipped with shower taps, does not have a shower curtain or similar splash protection. The barn is not suitable for anyone with an infirmity owing to the spiral steel staircase. The kitchen is well equipped but lacks a dishwasher. We were impressed by the coffee maker and the range of coffee cartouches' supplied FOC. In addition and not often found in rentals was a good supply of toilet and kitchen paper plus cleaning materials and cloths. We stayed in the barn during the second week of November 2017. The main ground floor room and kitchen were cold despite increasing the electric radiator temperatures. The bedrooms are however warm and cosy. The owner is charming and did his best to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

• "Lovely quirky Long Barn that has been thoughtfully turned from its historical roots into living accommodation."

  Spiral staircase and low trusses make you tread upstairs with care. However lots of thoughtful extras make this cottage a cosy and pleasant stay. Charles, the owner is very friendly and shares his beautiful garden, BBQ and dining terrace. The village is charming, without a pub, but plenty not far away. Lots of lovely walks nearby and plenty of places in the Coxwolds to visit.
