Just a suggestion the cups and saucers were nice but a little small especially if you like your coffee or latte, half a dozen mugs would be good

"Thatchers barn is a great holiday home."
It was very comfortable and plenty of room. On arrival we were given a well stocked welcome hamper which was excellent. The barn was exceptionally clean with a good choice of pots and pans etc. It is in an excellent location within easy reach of places. Our only niggle was the bed in the room with the ensuite shower was not a king-size bed. We will definitely be back.
Thank you for your feedback, we're glad you enjoyed the property! We appreciate you notifying us about the bed, this has been updated to a double, We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

"Perfect beautiful property, friendly owners and gorgeous surroundings."
We had a wonderful stay and we do hope to visit again in the future. Thank you so much for the welcome pack it was fantastic we loved everything about this property .in the first hour after our arrival we saw a woodpecker, nuthatches, a jay and a muntjac deer plus the squirrels of course. We walked down to the lake and fed the fish each day there is a wealth of wild life down there and it is so peaceful Thank you again Kim and Julian
Thanks so much for the kind words we are so glad you enjoyed your visit . I found your bird feeders and it looked like the squirrels had a buffet on them from the damage to the container Property Owner

"Fantastic. Dog heaven."
Small shop nearby. Lots to see. Lots to do nearby. Loved the open plan layout and the bifold doors.
Thanks so much we are glad you enjoyed your stay. The bifold doors definitely make the difference on a warm day and allows easy access for the dogs to explore the woods . Property Owner

"Had a perfect week in beautiful Thatchers Barn."

"Fabulous place with or without dogs,even if you don't go out each day lovely just to sit and look out the many windows at the assortment of birds and the squirrels which we fed daily."
Huge bath and pressure washer shower.No issues at all and would highly recommend to anyone especially if you have a busy life as it is a wonderful place to de compress.
I’m so glad you enjoyed yourselves. Thank you for the wonderful review, you’re welcome anytime. Property Owner

"Beautiful property / furnishings / facilities and superb location and grounds, thanks for making it such a lovely holiday."
The only reason that I couldn't give you full marks on the accuracy of the listing is because one of the beds was only 4'6" wide, but was advertised as 2 king size beds. As it happened this wasn't a problem because there were only 2 of us rather than 2 couples, but otherwise it would have been disappointing, because I never stay anywhere that doesn't have king size beds as a minimum requirement. Luckily it didn't detract from our stay at all this time and we would love to return.

"Stylish and well equipped."
Great shower. Comfortable beds. We loved the barn so much, despite the chilly bedrooms and shower/ bathrooms, we booked again as soon as we got home.
Thanks for the great review really sorry about the bedroom being cold but it’s very hard to satisfy everyone on temperature so we try and keep it at ambient temp. If you contact us during your trip we can adjust it from the heating app on our phone. Glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds. Kim & Julian Property Owner

"A lovely warm property with a great welcome pack, comfy beds and plenty of hot water."
A great location, very quiet. Property needs more crockery, we frequently had to wash up mugs and plates rather than run out during the day. Sofa not comfy - too low and need to be deeper. Not enough storage space in bedroom (with bath) and no surface space in bedroom (with shower).

"We had a fabulous few days here."
It’s a wonderfully equipped place with everything you would need for a short stay. The barn is very comfortable , bright and warm. We arrived on a wet and cold afternoon, but the barn was lovely to walk into. The owners very kindly brought us extra kindling and fire lighters, but the weather gods smiled on us and the remainder of our stay was sunny and dry, so we didn’t need to use them.There was a lovely hamper (with dog snacks included) and milk in the fridge on our arrival.The wooded grounds are great for dogs and there are lots of public footpaths nearby. The local pub, which is not far away, serves delicious food and is dog friendly. The owners were really good at keeping in touch by email, just to check that everything was okay on our arrival and were quick to respond to any messages.We would thoroughly recommend Thatchers Barn: the bar has been set high for our next location.
Thanks so much for the kind words it makes all the cleaning and grass cutting worthwhile. Property Owner

"Great location, a very peaceful and relaxing break."
Perfect for dog walks and local pub visits. The barn was so comfortable, a real home from home! Great break away to recharge! Will definitely be back.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments it was a pleasure having you stay Property Owner

"Fabulous barn."
So warm and comfortable - love the underfloor heating! We enjoyed the peacefulness of its location, yet its proximity to places like Broadway. Watching all the birds come to feed was addictive- there were so many including 2 pheasants clearing up under the feeder and even several woodpeckers! A deer came just about every morning too. And of course all the squirrels. The barn itself was spotlessly clean and has everything you need for your stay. The jukebox is such a fun addition. Really comfortable bed. There’s plenty of space unlike some holiday accommodation which can feel quite cramped. The boot room makes such a difference especially when you have dogs. We had a wonderful holiday and would definitely return. The welcome pack was very generous - thank you - and the owners are very responsive and helpful.
It was a pleasure to have you stay Thank you for the wonderful feedback it makes all the hard work worth it hope to see you again soon regards kim&julian. Property Owner

"Stunning property with everything you could possibly need for your stay."
Very accomadating and friendly owners. The inside of Thatchers Barn looked liked something you see in magazines. Comfortable beds and sofas and very cosy through out especially with the logburner. A generous welcome pack - thank you. The outside space was amazing for my 2 dogs, despite the heavy rain before our week there was lots of places to walk without sinking in mud. Personally a rug in the sitting area would have been welcomed as my 2 little dogs skidded on the tiled floor when trying to stand but that is not a negative comment. There are loads of places to explore in the area and equally nice to relax in the barn. Will definitely look to visit again. Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Property Owner

"The property was all it was described as, very modern and excellently fitted out, the outside appearance does not give any indication as to what can be found inside."
All fittings are first class quality as is the welcome pack, more than generous for the Christmas period we stayed. Small problem, of which there was only one was remedied immediately. We were so impressed we booked for the same period next year within the first day. Can't wait to go back.
-
"This is the second time we have stayed here this year, it is beautiful, watching the wildlife outside is amazing we had a muntjac right at the window!"
The owners are lovely and the pub at the end of the road is fabulous, we will be back, thank you for another lovely stay.

"Lovely property with everything you could need in a great location."
Owner very helpful. Would definitely book again.

"What a lovely week we had staying in this barn."
Set in the wonderful woods which gave freedom to us and the dog, the barn is well equipped and comfortable. This is a real retreat, away from it all and peaceful. We came to escape the fireworks and albeit a few heard it was hugely better than where we live. Surrounding areas offer plenty to see and do and I would recommend Winchcombe and Ross on Wye especially.
Thanks so much for the lovely review,it was a pleasure having you stay. Kim & Julian Property Owner

"We had an absolutely marvelous week in Thatchers Barn, a home from home with everything you could wish for and more."
A wonderful welcome hamper which was very much appreciated. The juke box is great even if you can't choose your own music it's still good. The dogs particularly enjoyed the freedom outside and watching the squirrels and birds from inside on the bird feeder. Such a peaceful and relaxing location we couldn't fault it. If you are looking for peace and tranquility with 5* accommodation then look no further you won't regret it.
Thanks so much for the kind words,it was a pleasure to have you stay . Julian & Kim Property Owner

"We loved our stay at Thatchers Barn, we wanted a peaceful week to chill out and relax and that exactly what we got."
Loved the birds visiting the bird table, including a nuthatch and spotted woodpecker. the pond made me wish I could fish, I saw a couple of large fish close to the bank. There is also at least one Muntjac deer wondering the grounds. We dont normally visit the same place twice, its a big world, I can see us making an exception for this place.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback hope to see you again. Kind regards kim&julian Property Owner

"Absolutely gorgeous!"
Extremely quiet surroundings with your own private little copse and a lake to sit by. The cottage was excellent and had everything you needed. The local pub (Pheasant Inn) and well stocked shop were within easy walking distance too. Also, the cottage is in a very quiet area up a quiet road so the two dogs we took loved the freedom and it was really safe for them. I highly recommended it!! Brilliant

"A lovely barn in a tranquil setting."
Very well maintained and lovely and clean. Thoughtful hosts who left a lovely hamper, we rate this property very highly and in a such a lovely area too.
Thanks for the kind words hopefully we will see you again. Kim & Julian Property Owner

We had a lovely time at thatchers barn we did a bit of fishing while we was there and caught lots of fish the barn is lovely and clean and has everything you need I loved watching the birds on the bird feeder we got to see Lots of different birds we will definitely be back soon

"Excellent property."
Clean and spacious in lovely, peaceful surroundings, with outdoor seating to take advantage of the wildlife. Lots of birds, including woodpeckers, and we even saw a deer come to the birdfeeder, plus squirrels of course. Very well equipped with generous 'welcome hamper'. Very happy to recommend.
Thanks so much for the lovely review, it makes all the cleaning and grass cutting worthwhile. Property Owner

"Lovely place, wonderful setting, smashing little pond to enjoy some fishing or relaxation."
Owners were very friendly & helpful. Would definitely recommend it, especially if you like some peace & quiet. Can't fault it :)

"Just returned home after a weekend at Thatchers Barn, what a beautiful place, so comfortable, everything you can think of is there, opening the doors to a beautiful nature scene every morning is breath taking, the Pheasant pub is a mile down the road, fabulous food and dog friendly, can't wait to book again, thank you for a wonderful relaxing stay."

"Lovely quiet space."
Comfortable, clean and well equipped. No hesitation in recommending Thatcher’s Barn for a relaxing break
Thanks for your kind words Carolyn I glad you and the dogs enjoyed your break. Property Owner

"This was a last minute booking as previously booked accommodation was cancelled due to flooding."
Thatchers Barn might not have been our first choice ordinarily, but under the circumstances it ticked most of the boxes as we were very much in need of a break. And what a gem of a find it was! So clean, comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome, the perfect location for us and our dog (he loved the woods). Really well thought out layout with everything you would need provided. Lots of good walks and pubs close by, all in all we had a fantastic stay. Thank you.
-
"Amazing property , we have been several times cannot fault anything, immaculately clean , brilliant surroundings ."

"Lovely holiday barn nicely decorated for Xmas."
Very generous welcome gifts. Everything you could need for a perfect break, though found the range a challenge cooking Xmas lunch.

"A home away from home is the only way to describe Thatchers Barn, we would move in permanently if we could!"
Stunning walks right on your doorstep, literally with acres of private land! The barn is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and Kim & Julian could not have been more helpful. Thanks again, looking forward to visiting again in the future!
Thanks for the lovely review Laura hope to see you in the future Property Owner

"Absolutely amazing, beautiful accommodation in its own woodland with its own lake."
From the moment we entered Thatchers Barn we were smitten. A lovely welcome pack from the owners, the barn was scrupulously clean and well equipped. Good sized freezer a bonus as our pup is raw food fed. There is a huge log burner but the barn is so well heated and insulated that we only lit it once for the cosy effect. Juke box great fun. 2 lovely bathrooms, the shower was very powerful, and the slipper bath a wonderful indulgence. The Phesant Inn nearby did a great Sunday lunch and was dog friendly. Can't wait to return. Thank you Kim and Cressy for sharing you idyll.
Thank you so much Angela, hope to see you again Property Owner

"Just back from another great stay at Thatchers Barn."
A great place to escape from it all with helpful owners who put a lot of thought and effort into making sure their guests have a great experience. The barn is spotlessly clean, warm and cosy and very peaceful. There are walks from the doorstep but also many places to visit within a short drive. Highly recommend a stay!
Thanks Trish it’s a real pleasure to have you stay at the barn ,we are so glad you enjoyed your stay regards Julian and Kim Property Owner

"We had a wonderful week."
The barn was extremely comfortable and exceeded our expectations. We also loved the woodland surroundings and enjoyed sitting beside the lake. The welcome pack was brilliant. We hope to come again next year.
Thanks for the great review. So pleased you enjoyed it and caught a few fish. Hopefully see you again next year. Kim & Julian Property Owner

"The Barn was clean and tidy and had everything we needed."
A very nice welcome pack as gratefully received. We enjoyed the jukebox too. The grounds were tidy and we loved the woods (and so did the dog!). The Aga was lovely to use and makes great roast potatoes. Thanks again
-
"Had a great week here."
Barn was lovely, surrounding perfect. Although not far from a road was very quiet. So relaxing. Lots of different birds and squirrels feeding on the bird table. Great area for sightseeing/ visiting. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Kim and Julian for the welcome pack.
-
"Lovely quiet surroundings."
Accommodation spacious, basins in both bathrooms are far to small, should only be used in a WC. The cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. The oven, door, shelves & hob lids look as though they have never been cleaned. The baskets in bedroom which are used as draws still had hair & dust in them. The log burner ash tray was full & the door black from use. I have a log burner at home & know there is no excuse for it to be like this. We only used the washing machine once as very noisy, sounded like the bearings were going. The bins were nearly half full on our arrival & the owner was suppose to collect Tuesday night for emptying on Wednesday ( this never happened & by the time we left they were full). Even though we told the owner about the lack of cleanliness nothing was done. Would not stay at Thatchers Barn again for the above reasons. We have stayed in numerous holiday cottages & never had any problems. Considering the cost of the rental charged for this property I was totally disgusted.
Thank you for the feedback I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay in Thatchers Barn. In reply to your comments the bins are always emptied on a Wednesday but as it was a double bank holiday it was a Friday so you would have left when they had to go out. On the point about the cleanliness we have never had any negative remarks before and when dealing with a AGA cooker which has constant heat it is very hard to clean but we will endeavour to do our best . After you highlighted the washing machine fault we arranged a domestic appliances engineer to attend on charge over day and he assured me the bearings and machine was fine after inspection. The point you raised on the log burner ,as you said you have one yourself , all manufactures recommend leaving a bed of ash in the fire as it burns hotter and cleaner and also protecting the stove from the direct heat . As they say all feedback is positive so you now have an idea how wood burners work more efficiently. Property Owner

"The bird feeders were great !"
We saw 18 different species !
-
"We had a very relaxing week here ."
Everything you could want was provided and the owners was a phone call away if needed. A lovely welcome pack on arrival and treats for the dog. The barn is set in woodlands with a lovely lake and beautiful walks around . The wildlife is great watching all the different birds on the feeders was amazing and squirrels and rabbits. Listening to the owls at night was lovely. Our dog absolutely loved it too. An amazing place , will definitely go back.
-
"Absolutely adored this place."
If you want peace and quiet then this is the place for you. Just watching the birds and squirrels was an absolute delight throughout the day. There was a gorgeous welcome pack when we arrived as well which was a lovely touch. Thatcher’s Barn is a very special place
-
"Another fantastic stay at Thatcher's Barn- our third time!"
The barn is in a great spot and ideal for a bit of rest and relaxation. The owners are a pleasure to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. We definitely plan to return.
-
"We had a lovely relaxing break at Thatchers Barn."
It was clean, comfortable and well placed to enjoy the Cotswolds.
-
"We enjoyed our stay very much."
The thing that prevented us from leaving a perfect score was the noise experienced from the heating system, although the owners did mention this on our arrival, it was too late to affect our decision to stay. It was explained that the hot water tank was noisy. This did affect our sleep patterns. In general the heating system controls were not intuitive. This would colour our decision to stay in future.
-
"Thatchers Barn is absolutely fabulous, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
The barn has everything you need to make the very best of your stay. The woods surrounding the barn are wonderful, you could spend all day just watching the variety of birds come to the feeders. Walking round the woods is so relaxing, a real haven for wildlife. From the barn, its a 20 minute walk to the local pub, "The Pheasant Inn" which we can highly recommend. We certainly would highly recommend Thatchers Barn and hope to return.
-
"From the minute we arrived we were wowed by this fantastic gem."
The owners are lovely welcoming people who welcomed us on arrival and gave us the tour. The barn really has the wow factor and the pictures don’t do justice to how special this place is, from the high quality interior to the wonderful woodland and lake. All the usual Cotswold favourites are without easy reach. If we could stay here 52 weeks of the year, we would

"Amazing property , we couldn’t believe how wonderful it is ."
We cannot fault anything . The grounds are brilliant for walks it really is a hidden gem absolute peace and tranquillity. Everything was provided for and the owners are super friendly. We have already booked our next stay .
-
"Lovely 5 night stay at Thatchers barn."
The barn has been fitted out to a very high standard and is in a great private location with easy access to the wonderful cotswolds villages. Our dog had a great time also! The only 2 veey small points are the ensuite with the lovely bath could do with having a shower attachment (although there is a shower in the other ensuite). Also as the grounds are so big with a huge lake there is no small secure area for you to let your dog out for a wee if they are a puppy or do not have good recall. We would definitely recommend and would visit again.
-
"Excellent barn conversion."
Amazing social space. Very tranquil setting allowing you to get up close with the wildlife. Really lovely little extras. Everything and more that you need was there. Thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend. Thank you Kim and Julian.
-
"Our second time staying at Thatcher's Barn and hopefully not our last!"
This is a great place to get away from it all. The property is well equipped and well presented and the setting is very tranquil and relaxing. Would highly recommend a stay here and a big thanks again to the lovely owners who are a pleasure to deal with.
-
"Thatchers Barn was obviously designed, built and superbly fitted to be lived in and for whatever reason decided and thankfully for us all changed to be a holiday let."
The location is ideal for visiting many Cotswold towns and villages we all admire and love. The barn owners are a lovely, friendly and helpful family who go out of their way to ensure your stay is relaxing and trouble free. We will certainly recommend the barn to friends and family and return ourselves. Dave Watson

"A very peaceful location, visited every day by a squirrel who was quite funny running across the patio with a conker still in it's casing."
3 types of owl heard overnight and a woodpecker visited on the last full day. Kim and Julian were lovely, it was nice to read the history of the barn. Our son and his partner dropped by on their way back from Devon and thought it was lovely.W e took them to meet the fish, they were amazed how you can't see any until you throw some bread and then the just appear anfd some of them are big.
-
"This is a beautiful place , cleanliness superb, so peaceful."
We had a lovely relaxing week , the dog loved the freedom and my husband the fishing. Will definitely return and recommend.

"The hosts had the mosts!"
What an absolute diamond find of a place! Surrounded by forrest with a private lake, perfect escape for peace! The place was cosy as anything with the open fire and bbq outside, we shall be returning again for sure! 4 x
-
"The barn was just perfect, welcoming hosts on arrival and very clean."
The grounds were beautiful, loads of wildlife to see and very private. We felt really comfortable with our 5 and 7 year old running around on their own, and the dogs were never on a lead. Remote enough to be away from it all, but close enough in a car to drive to places to look around. We cooked in mostly, and made use of the gas bbq provided. Wish we had booked for longer!
-
"Absolutely amazing accommodation."
Had the wow factor. Very clean and had everything we needed. Just us and acres of land. Very quiet. Lovely pub for food and drinks 20 minute walk away.

"Beautiful quiet setting Photos are accurate Maybe a couple of lounging chairs ..."
Beautiful quiet setting Photos are accurate Maybe a couple of lounging chairs to lay back and enjoy the sun We all had a fabulous holiday
-
"Lovely quiet spot."
Great to have some wooded space around the property and to have access to the private pond. Great base for the local area too.
-
"We had an amazing time at the Barn, the hosts were very accommodating and have done a wonderful job."
If I had to make a comment it would be that the sinks in the bathrooms could be a little bigger, but that is the only negative we had. We will certainly be back
-
"Thatchers Barn is a wonderful, tranquil retreat set amongst woodland with it's own private lake which we fished pretty much everyday."
The wildlife all around is amazing, many species of birds and even foxes and deer in the garden/grounds. The cottage / barn is bright and airy. The weather was fantastic while we were there and it was great to be able to open up all the doors and bring the outside in. The jukebox was a fun addition! Kim and Julian were a lovely couple, leaving us some yummy goodies!! Thank you both for a fantastic week. If we're in the area again, we would not hesitate to return to Thatchers Barn.
-
"Well situated for visiting the Cotswolds,lots of walking nearby."
This cottage has lots of wildlife around,and the grounds and lake arer relaxing to walk and sit beside. The site is very quiet being situated on a dead end road. The local pub is close enough to walk to and is very friendly with good food. The owners made us very welcome. A great place to stay,we will come again.
-
"Thatchers Barn is a fantastic place to stay The setting is very private and peaceful and the barn is well equipped and comfortable."
It was a joy to look out upon the woodland within which it sits, especially as the bluebells were in full bloom during our stay. We were lucky enough to spot deer whilst we were there and had visits every day from the pheasants, woodpeckers and many other species of bird that took advantage of the well stocked bird feeder! We were able to find some lovely walks straight from the door and there are also plenty of interesting places to visit within a short drive. Highly recommended.
-
"We had such a lovely break at thatchers barn."
The location was so lovely in the bluebell woods. The barn had everything you could want for. The location was great with a lovely pub down the road. We stayed as a family of 4 with two young children (4 and 1) and we all had a great time. We’re already planning when we can return and stay for longer next time!
-
"We really enjoyed our holiday at thatchers barn."
The hosts welcomed us and made sure we didn’t want for anything. Woodland and lake on site were beautiful, and also a great location for all the surrounding sites. The barn had everything we needed, and was very comfortable. We didn’t want to leave and are looking forward to returning at some time in the near future. Can’t recommend highly enough.
-
"The owners have made this unique property charming, comfortable, well equipped and all set in a tranquil spot surrounded by nature and wildlife."
This is the place to find peace and rest. We took our dogs and they loved it, walks in the woods, ducks on the pond and fish who love you to feed them. It is beautiful and you can sit on the terrace watching so many different species of birds enjoying the food including the resident pheasants while sipping a glass of wine. Lovely.
