"The cottage is in a lovely quite spot, comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen."
The free wood was a bonus for the wood burner. Penny and Doug were very good hosts and the welcome pack of Croisants, homemade jam, bread and eggs was a very nice gesture. The local pub ( Black Horse ) is a must for a steak tea. The staff are very accommodating. Oyster Barn is ideally placed for all the local places of interest. We highly recommend Oyster Barn. You will not be disappointed. Steve and Sue.

"As always a lovely welcome of bread croissants yummy jam butter & milk - and it's so good to come to a nice clean and tidy cottage ."
Penny and Doug are brilliant hosts
-
"The accommodation is very pretty and the facilities are excellent."
The only minor issue was the weather was not good so the barn was cooler than we would have liked. Naunton village is a beautiful place and local pub very welcoming. It is a great location for visiting other Cotswold towns.

"We had a lovely stay meeting up with our family from London."
The two bathrooms were one of the main reasons for booking. A downstairs toilet would have been a bonus. The location was very quiet and concealed. Certainly off the “beaten track”. Personally (as the driver) I found it a little too far away from Stow on the Wold particularly at night. One point which is common to every single rental property I have stayed in is the frying pan. I normally take my own but had forgotten it. The frying pans are always scratched, lost their non stick and frequently dirty without exception. Frying pans cost around £15 for a cheap one so why aren’t they replaced say every couple of months. This is a general issue for Manor Cottages to highlight. Luckily our dog is old and arthritic so didn’t need big walks although Naunton Dovecote wasn’t far and we made it to the river. We found the owners of Oyster Barn very pleasant and had a good time.

"We have just returned from a relaxing and pleasant stay at Oyster Barn."
The cottage is lovely, being very comfortable and tastefully renovated, giving a spacious feel and comes well equipped. The barn is located in a lovely quiet location with great parking. The owners, Penny & Doug are genuinely friendly and helpful, keeping their distance even though located close by. Naunton is a quiet and idyllic village, with a lovely village pub, doing lunches and evening meals. We will definitely be returning to Oyster Barn and would happily recommend it to both friends and family alike.
Thank you for your lovely review and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"Wonderful friendly hosts and a lovely restful week staying in this great cottage situated in a beautiful village."
Feedback suggestions only, the duvet is lovely but for summer temperatures maybe a lighter one could be substituted when it's hot. To enjoy the last of the sun in garden at night if the trees could be trimmed a little bit then it would allow guests to enjoy a glass of wine in the sun. However these are just suggestions and overall had a fantastic time.
Thank you for your nice comments. It would be helpful to know which trees you mean - the apples in the garden or the trees in our woodland area - email me direct for this. As to the summer duvets, this is really a storage issue - we just don't have enough storage space to keep another set of duvets - sorry about that. Property Owner

"Our second stay in this cottage."
Good location for exploring the local area, everything provided for you and the hosts could not be more helpful and accommodating. We would not hesitate to recommend this cottage for a pleasant relaxing break

"Penny was a wonderful owner and didn't intrude on our privacy unless we asked, the wecome basket was also ver welcome."
The Black Horse just down the road was friendly and the meals were good.
-
"The property is perfect for a quiet time away."
It’s comfortable and well equipped and set in a stunning, but quiet Cotswold village. There’s even a little garden with a lovely seating area and lawn for children/ pets to play safely. The owners left a super welcome package and they made us feel so welcome.
-
"Every thing you would need in this well equipped cottage."
The welcome pack of bread and jam was very nice. Owners who lived opposite were very helpful. A lovely village with the Black Horse Inn a lovely place to eat.

"Oyster Barn is a delightful cottage nestled in the small village of Naunton - a great location from which to explore."
The property is maintained to a very hight standard and had everything we needed - including condiments, tea, sugar, etc. which are often absent in holiday lettings. The owners, who live across the lane, were very helpful while also being unobtrusive - the welcome pack (besides being very welcome!) included lovely homemade jam and marmalade, which was a nice touch. Strongly recommend this property and will hope to return.

"A beautiful cottage with great facilities, spotlessly clean and warm."
Also, very central for visiting the Cotswolds. Plenty of space and a great bonus that 3 dogs are allowed. On arrival, a welcome food package awaited us, wonderful homemade jam too! We all had a great time and would definitely like to visit again. (The only very minor issue on arrival we had was, after following the post code we couldn’t see the sign for the cottage. As it gets dark early in the winter and with no light at the bottom of the drive, we just couldn’t make out where it was)
Thank you for your feedback, it sounds like you and all of your furry friends had a wonderful time. I'm sure the Owner will be delighted you really loved the welcome goodies on arrival. We hope to welcome you back again very soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
-

"We had a good stay and the cottage provided everything we needed."
We had trouble with the knob on the oven but we explained this to the owners.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your stay at Oyster Barn. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your time away, and hope that the issue you experienced with the oven did not leave a lasting impact on your retreat. We hope to welcome you again one day soon.

"Gorgeous cottage, homely and cosy had everything we needed."
Beds are super comfy and the cottage was immaculate. Good parking too. Great location to use as a base to head off to places, but the village itself is so pretty with a pub only a short walk away.
-
"Excellent location, Naunton is a small village away from traffic and tourism and yet easily accessible to everywhere."
Very nice property, good quality of refurbishment, we were very happy to stay there. Thanks for tourist leaflets and maps (and jam & bread), liked the public footpaths across fields from village to village.
-
"We enjoyed our stay at Oyster Barn."

It was so comfortable and clean and we will definitely recommend it to all our friends.

"Oyster Barn was just what we were looking for, the perfect place for 2 couples."
It was really clean and so comfy with everything you could need. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect with lovely linen and towels, the kitchen perfect with everything at hand and the living room was great with 2 sofas and a lovely log burner for those chilly evenings. Located in the lovely quiet village of Naunton with a great local pub we can't recommend this property enough.
-
"Fabulous cottage - clean, comfortable and in a beautiful location!"
We had a wonderful stay.
-
"We had a great stay in your fabulous cottage."
The facilities were excellent and the cottage was extremely comfortable. The bedrooms in particular were beautifully furnished and very well equipped. We enjoyed walks from the house with our dog and the location was everything we would want and expect from a village in the Cotswolds.
-

Very well placed to explore the highlights of the Cotswolds. We had a fantastic stay and would recommend.

"A really well equipped cottage with absolutely everything you could possibly ..."
A really well equipped cottage with absolutely everything you could possibly need Beautiful bedding and comfortable beds The Black Horse pub just a short walk away is very welcoming and cosy with a lovely fire much needed when we got there as the weather was very cold The village itself is a perfect example of life in the Cotswolds not overrun with tourists but just friendly locals Well worth a return visit

The location is ideal for accessing all parts of The Cotswolds! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

"Thank you so much for such a wonderful Christmas stay!"
We couldn't have asked for a better spot to spend the holidays with family. The cottage was beautiful and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The village is wonderful too and we took a particular liking to the local pub - as did the dog!
-
"Beautiful cottage in a lovely village."
Every home comfort is catered for, and the place is warm and welcoming. This was particularly appreciated as it snowed whilst we were there, and outside temperatures were well below zero! Owners friendly and concerned that everything was OK. A visit to the village pub is highly recommended!
-
"This is our 3rd time and never disappointed."
The cottage is a home from home and penny,doug are lovely .
-
"Excellent accommodation and beautiful village location."
As there isn’t a local shop the owners had thoughtfully included everyday items supplied for our use when cooking. Great local pub with good beer and pub food. Very relaxing break, would highly recommend.

"Absolutely lovely cottage really close to Bourton on Water (10 mins drive)."
Beautiful village, proper hidden gem. The cottage kitchen has absolutely everything you could need, and I mean everything, tea towels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and all the cooking utensils etc you could ever need. Lovely welcome pack of croissants, butter, eggs and milk. Owners are lovely. Yes they are opposite but keep themselves to themselves but are there if you need them. The bathrooms are wonderful, lovely big shower (there is even shower gel provided). Huge tv with Netflix and DVD player. I stayed here with my 10 year old daughter so please be aware it is a barn with high ceilings upstairs so we were visited by quite a few spiders, lol. We would definately stay again in this wonderful cottage.
-
"Lovely owner on site."
She left a welcome package (eggs, milk, butter, even strawberries and cream -delicious !!). Would certainly return again.
Thank you for these kind words. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner
-
"My husband and I along with our dog had a wonderful stay at Oyster Barn."
Penny and Douglas made us feel very welcome. After a long drive the welcome pack of bread milk butter eggs and pastries were greatly appreciated and Penny's home made marmalade and jam was a delicious treat. Nothing was too much bother to Penny and Douglas, they were unobtrusive but on hand if you needed them. Naunton is very well placed for visiting the surrounding area, there are maps in the cottage available to use for exploring the local area.. There's are circular walks to Bourton on the Water and to Guiting Power which I'd recommend. We'd definitely recommend Oyster Barn to our families and friends.
-
"Oyster Barn is in the perfect location for a relaxing holiday."
The barn is very comfortable and has everything you need. It’s a short walk to the local pub and has some wonderful walks from the doorstep. A lovely friendly village, we can’t wait to return.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Oyster Barn and would love to stay again."
In the heart of the Cotswolds it’s the perfect location for walks and relaxation. We had read some negative comments about the owners living opposite. I have to say it wasn’t an issue at all, you would hardly know they are there and very accommodating. The property is fantastic, everything you need for a week away. We would highly recommend this property.
-
"Great cottage with everything you could possibly need."
Clean, comfortable and with little extras left in the kitchen… butter, eggs, jam, croissants, bread and milk. Helpful owners made our stay totally relaxing and enjoyable. 10/10

"Oyster Cottage was very comfortable for us and our friends--another older couple."
The situation was brilliant --right in the middle of the extremely pretty village of Naunton. We were opposite the owner's house at the end of a lane, which was surrounded but countryside. The sitting areas, outside the cottage and the extra seating area above the cottage enabled us to have sun whenever it was out! BBQ and fuel was provided. Logs for inside were free and plentiful --firelighters provided. In fact, everything we might need was provided--the owners were extremely thoughtful and generous in their provisions for guests. The beds were comfortable with beautiful bed linen. Showers effective and products provided. In the kitchen there was plenty of equipment and extra fridge and freezer space was in the garage. Naunton is placed central to Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water (with a wonderful co-op). Moreton on the Marsh (with a quiet and efficient minor injuries unit) and only a few miles from Cheltenham. The countryside around is so beautiful and there are walks from the door to lovely small villages. Plus so many places to visit only half an hour away. Our favourite was Adlestrop, then walking to Chastleton House(NT), with cakes and tea provided by the local WI in the church. We had a wonderful holiday. Many thanks to the kindness of the owners.

"This was our 5th stay at Oyster Barn and it never disappoints."
Lovely barn, beautiful area, great hosts. Highly recommend.
-
"Oyster Barn was everything and more than we could have asked for."
Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and the wood fire was perfect for the cool nights. The owners were extremely welcoming, kind and helpful in every possible way. A fabulous place in a central location for all the Cotswolds.
-
"We absolutely loved the cottage."
It was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The showers were sublime. The configuration of the cottage worked well and the kitchen and the lounge were very well equipped and easy to enjoy. We only have a couple of comments which affected our stay - Our main comment is that the owners property is very close (much closer than the photographs imply) and looks directly into the cottage windows, so we felt a little lacking in privacy. Also, the garage and office(?) and laundry are adjoined to the cottage and are in regular use, which sent our dogs barking wildly at every sound they could hear through the wall. With regards the dogs, there was nowhere to wash them - thank goodness we took the Mud Daddy. The back garden is not directly attached to the property.
-
"Lovely cottage barn conversion."
Lovely location in Naunton. The property has everything you need for a wonderful break away from it all. Great facilities and we loved the log burner. Well located for all the the beautiful villages and towns in the cotswolds.would highly recommend to friends and family. Weloved it. X
-

"Beautiful well equipped cottage in a lovely quiet location."
Perfect for exploring the Cotswolds.

"We had a super weekend stay at the Oyster Barn."
The accommodation was great, very clean and spacious. Beds were very comfortable. There were some very thoughtful things left for us, include some amazing home made jam to go with the fresh bread.

"Beautiful cottage in a lovely quiet and quaint location."
Oyster Barn is brilliantly equipped and sparkling clean - the breakfast bits (especially the fab homemade jam!) and cleaning / sanitising supplies were a nice additional touch. We enjoyed some great walks from the doorstep and made good use of the local pub down the road. Highly recommended.
-
"Lovely place."
Very clean and comfortable and very well equipped. We were surprised at how much stuff there was for us to use when cooking - much more than we expected and have ever had at other airbnbs. They also left us a lovely welcome package of bread, eggs, homemade jam and croissants on arrival. Would definitely recommend.
-
"We had an amazing time and Douglas and Penny are wonderful hosts."
The home is beautiful, and we were able to do some amazing walks right from the front door. We had everything we needed to cook and visited the local pub where we felt welcome and had a nice meal. Seeing the pheasants in the garden was a nice surprise! Highly recommend!
-
"Our stay at Douglas & Penn's Oyster Barn cottage was, quite simply, a dream."
The cottage interior is new and done to the highest standards, the beds were very comfortable, everything one could need is available and well-placed, all was perfectly clean, the furnishings & decorative touches were charming, the peaceful ambience were wonderful -- and the hospitality was wonderful.

"Penny and Doug are the most delightful hosts; ready to offer advice and help when needed, but not intrusive."
Oyster Barn is a spotless, well-equipped, beautifully furnished home-away-from-home perfect for exploring the Cotswolds. We loved the welcome gift of eggs, milk, bread and Penny's home made jam. The Black Horse pub, a 5 minute walk away, offers delicious food and hospitality. We would definitely recommend choosing Oyster Barn and the village of Naunton for your visit to this area!
-
"As new inside - great location- fabulous Black Horse Inn a short walk away."
2 bed, 2 bath, plenty of space. Everything very organised. Brilliant hosts. 10/10, 5 stars!

"A beautiful cottage in an idyllic village."
Oyster Barn provides everything you need for a relaxing country break. Everything about the cottage was cosy and comfortable and the main bathroom was stunning with its free standing bath. The welcome pack we received was fantastic containing eggs, milk, bread, croissants, delicious raspberry jam and there was plenty of coffee, tea, sugar, and good supplies of washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, even shower gels in both bathrooms. Lovely owners who obviously take real pride in their property. We hope to return.
-

-
"Great place, excellent hosts, ideal way to enjoy the Cotswolds."
-
"The property is situated in what has to be the perfect setting for a Cotswold village."
Naunton is so central for getting to any of the other popular towns and villages within easy driving distance or walking if so inclined. Oyster Barn is a delight, clean, tidy, all facilities provided and is a haven of peace and quiet. The owners are on hand if needed and are very approachable but importantly do not interfere unless invited. Being ex locals, the area is well known to us and there are other cottages in the vicinity that we have stayed in but we rate Oyster Barn as the best. It is a credit to Penny and Douglas.
-
"The cottage was lovely and a great base to visit the wonderful places in the area."
We had a good meal at the pub and we also visited the 'tearoom' in Guiting Power which was an interesting experience - fantastic giant tea-cakes and lovely scones plus the antiques all around the place.
-
"This property along with the hosts, Douglas & Penny, the quaint town, & local pub fulfilled a long held dream."
Everything was as advertised and more. The area was beautiful and filled with entertaining diversions. But most importantly the Oyster Barn was comfortable, well-appointed, & tastefully decorated. Penny & Douglas were warm, friendly, helpful and generous. We had the time of our lives and will be back!
-

-
"Was a fantastic stay and we loved the cottage!"
Thank you for all the extra touches and the kids toys were fab! We really like that you had necessities there as well as that’s not always the case. The only thing (if anything) we would want would be a Nespresso coffee machine.
-
"Well appointed, cosy & very comfortable barn set in the middle of the beautiful Cotswolds."
Lovely quiet village off the beaten track in the middle of the Cotswolds with a pub within easy walking distance. Oyster barn was delightful, cosy & warm, just the place to relax and unwind.

"Oyster Barn is a perfect cottage for a Cotswolds vacation."
Very clean and comfortable and well-appointed. Penny left us milk, eggs, bread, croissants, jam and butter for our arrival. Naunton is an idyllic and peaceful village. Very quiet and authentic. Some of the other Cotswolds villages are overrun with tourists and we were glad to have picked Naunton as our home base. The Black Horse Tavern is a short walk away and has excellent food and hospitality. The famous Cotswolds walking trails are easily accessed from Oyster Barn and there are maps provided by Penny at Oyster Barn. I would highly recommend Oyster Barn!,Matt
-
"Beautiful house in a beautiful village."
Perfect for a relaxing gateway to enjoy everything the Cotswolds have to offer. Penny was very friendly and helpful. We strongly recommend the Oyster Farm.

It’s very rare to say, They thought of everything! Yet they did! The Oyster Barn is a beautifully appointed accommodation, quiet with a wonderful pub a short stroll up the street. We loved it!
-
"Fantastic cottage with lovely hosts!"
-
"Great location, quiet local friendly area is very beautiful!"
Accomdation first class, and comfortable; owners next door checked to see we had everything we needed. Provisions provided to welcome us. Therefore no rushing around before check in. Highly recommended great village pub! Recommend the Sunday lunch (good value). Great little fox terrier old would visit every day (name is Rhubarb) as well as all pheasant and bird life!
-
"Naunton is a beautiful village, well located for exploring the Cotswolds, Oxford and beyond."
Penny and Doug have gone to enormous trouble to fit out the cottage with any amenity you might need. They are excellent hosts. We will happily return.
-

"We felt so at home – it’s cosy, comfortable, with all the little details you’d want thought about."
Loved the stonework – such skill. Great walks locally, can recommend the pub – and try to get a look round the Dovecote! Penny & Dougie were impeccable hosts – so welcoming. Thank you. Wish we had longer.
-
"Overall a very wonderful experience in your cottage."
Everything that we would need in a accommodation was provided including a hairdryer for my wife and daughter. Very good insulation in the cottage compared to some we have stayed in in the past. Maybe just a little bit too warm if the temperature is not that cold outside but definitely cosy though. In general everything was perfect and we would recommend this cottage to friends and online reviews. We would love to come back soon especially for your hospitality and accommodation.

"The Barn is beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for more."
In respect of dogs, I found plent of places to walk our boy, who was very happy. It would be good if there was somewhere gated to let them out quickly last thing and 1st thing in the morning. You also might want to invest in a gate from the kitchen to living room if dogs are staying especially for wet days. (we do have a mobile stairgate now)

Oyster Barn is a charming converted barn, nestled peacefully in the quiet Cotswold village of Naunton, located within the grounds of the owners’ property.
The property is home to two well-presented bedrooms, sleeping up to four guests; the perfect retreat for you and your loved ones.
Upon arrival at Oyster Barn, you are welcomed by two convenient parking spaces, as you unload your luggage through the delightful stable door, into the country-style kitchen that comes well-equipped with everything you need to cook up a delicious meal for your loved ones and retreat to the dining table to indulge in your meal and toast to a wonderful holiday that lies before you.
Take the conversation through the Cotswold stone alcove and into the sitting room, which is a stylishly decorated, bright room with a wealth of character features, including a traditional wooden settle and a feature stone fireplace containing a warming woodburning stove, all complimented by contemporary furnishings such as a large Smart TV and DVD player, books and games for you to make use of for a fun-filled evening.
Wooden French doors lead you out onto the open patio area at the front of the property or you can walk up to the fenced patio garden which is located just past the log store and is accessed up beautiful wooden steps, where you will find garden furniture, a barbecue to make use of in summer months and a lovely small grass area.
When the evening gets colder, venture back inside and up to the first-floor where you will find the two well-presented bedrooms; bedroom one is a lovely eaves room, with striking exposed beams, where you can catch up on your favourite shows on the Freeview TV in your king-size bed before heading to the en-suite for a well-earned, relaxing soak in the freestanding bath.
Bedroom two, also a lovely eaves room, has eye-catching exposed beams, and a king-size bed (zip/link, can be twin on request) from which you can watch a film on the mounted TV.
In the morning, head to the wet room for an invigorating rinse in the walk-in shower before getting ready to explore the local surroundings for the day.
You are ideally placed to explore the beautiful countryside of the Cotswolds, with the centre of Naunton right on your doorstep, with the River Windrush flowing through the village which is set in a ‘bowl’ within the scenic Cotswold hills.
Nearby, you will find The Black Horse Inn which has a pleasant ambience and offers home-made, locally sourced food and lovely drinks, or you can engage in a challenging game of golf at Naunton Downs Gold Club, to show of your swing skills.
Head over to the much-loved Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water, often referred to as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’ due to the low arched bridges that cross over the River Windrush, which boasts a variety of popular shops and attractions such as Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection and The Model Village – Bourton-on-the-Water in model form, fun days out for all!
Greystones Farm & Nature Reserve is home to wildflower meadows and a working organic farm; offering time out from the hustle and bustle of the village centre, this reserve is open to public all year round.
For a touch of history, head to Stow-on-the-Wold, and take a walk around the market square where you will find the town stock at one end which dates back to the 15th Century and is shaded by an old Elm Tree or take a stroll over to St Edward’s Parish Church where you will find the enchanting looking tree surrounded doorway, finish off with refreshing tipple at The Old Stocks Inn.
Cheltenham is just under a 30-minute drive from Oyster Barn and has a wealth of activities including the art deco Lido at Sanford Park which is a must during summer months, offering two heated outdoor pools, and many entertainment venues including the Town Hall, the Everyman Theatre, The Playhouse, Cheltenham Racecourse and The Bacon Theatre, as well as Pittville Park which is the city's largest ornamental park that includes playgrounds, a boating lake and an aviary.

About the location

Naunton is positioned on either sides of the River Windrush, making it very picturesque as any of its neighbours in the hills between Stow and Cheltenham. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book as Niwetone. The hill overlooking the town is great for climbing up and viewing the church and the village. The Black Horse Inn is the local pub which provides great views into the heart of the Cotswolds.
PLEASE NOTE: MINIMUM 3 NIGHT STAYS ACCEPTED AT THIS PROPERTY.

IMPORTANT FOR ALL DOG OWNERS -
We are pleased to welcome dogs to our cottage. Naunton is a very good centre for walking. However, dog-owners should note the following:
We have white carpets upstairs and for this reason and out of hygiene consideration for other guests dogs must be kept downstairs at all times. There are stairgates in place at the bottom and the top of the stairs to help with this.
The Owner now has a large dog crate available for guests to use, if you would like this for your stay, please let us know prior to your arrival.
We have cream sofa covers in the living room in summer and, again, we must ask owners to keep their dogs off the furniture. There is a mobile stairgate which can separate the kitchen from the living room if necessary.
Please be aware that the small garden area is not adjacent to the cottage entrance, so it is not possible to just let a dog out into the garden. However, the garden is enclosed once you are in it.
Naunton is a very quiet place, but we cannot guarantee complete silence at Oyster Barn. If your dog(s) are inclined to bark at every sound, this is probably not the ideal place for you.
There are lambs and ewes grazing in the fields behind the cottage so please keep your dog(s) firmly under control outside the cottage.
We frequently have guests with dogs to stay and in nearly all cases they are able to comply with the above. By booking the cottage, you are presumed to have agreed to these conditions.
This property offers the following short breaks:
- Winter
- Off-season
- Last minute
