"It was a nice stay, however would be worth while to share more realistic photos to set expectations of the outdoor areas actual size and upstairs."
The signs around the property about cleaning and fees that will be charged aren’t the most comforting when you’re enjoying a weekend away. All our guests made a comment about these at some point. The light bulbs are extremely cold and bright and no option of dimming, we had to remove most lightbulbs and go to the extreme of checking the local supermarket if we could buy some, as the owner wasn’t able to help. It meant having a cosy evening was placing our phone lights round the room to try and make spotlights instead. Beds need replacing, some guests ended up doing mattresses on the floor due to the bed being so squeaky and rocky. Cleaned before arrival as expected but the whole upstairs was over powering smelling of bleach, so we had to air out all the rooms as much as we could. I recommend just making some small tweaks to make guests experiences better and more homely. Good for a group as nice to have multiple bathrooms available, and open living space, but very small outdoor space or area to sit in the sun. Over all a lovely stay due to the company and being all together but definitely some improvements and expectations to be changed.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and your suggestions for improvement. The owner will investigate and see what he can do. The beds have been replaced recently, the owner is going to ensure that all the joints are tightened. We are pleased that your group enjoyed your stay all together.

"What a beautiful property to stay in."
The minute we arrived we felt like we were home. It’s very homely feel and has everything you could possibly need. The owner is just a phone call away should you need anything. It was a phenomenal place to stay.

"Tithe Barn was perfect for celebrating a special birthday with the family."
The accommodation was very spacious and in a quiet location. It is looking tired though in places. The bathrooms need updating. Windows had not been cleaned. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed cooking each night. The children enjoyed watching the horses in the stables and having plenty of space to run around. We will recommend the property to friends and relatives.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you and your family enjoyed your special celebration. Thank you also for highlighting some issues and we can confirm that the owner has planned maintenance work and will be updating the bathrooms. We hope this didn't impact your stay and that we can welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Sadly the listing for this property was very misleading, No pictures of the bathrooms and for good reason, they were awful!"
No pictures of the surrounding area for the same reason, no view at all. On arrival the first thought was how dirty the propert was, filthy taps in most rooms and our en-suite shower room had so much dust around the sink you could leave finger marks through it. The shower room also had such a mouldy shower, you could scratch it off with your finger nail! On making a cup of tea the kettle had so much limescale in it that there was white bits floating in the tea. The owners did leave tea, coffee sugar and a jug of milk which was nice, but apart from that we felt totally ripped off! After spending nearly £2400 for a week we were very disappointed. It doesn’t seem fair that pictures can be withheld of things like the bathrooms and the view clearly because they don’t meet the standards of what most people are looking for. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, which was very good, but lots of the equipment was dirty and needed washing before use. We were really looking forward to a weeks break after working so hard, but unfortunately left feeling like we made a bad choice of property and weren’t given the level of property we had paid for.
Thank you for taking time to leave feedback. We are sorry to hear that property did not meet your expectations. If you had contacted us during your stay we could have tried to resolve some of these issues for you immediately. The property under goes maintenance every January, to keep on top of any wear and tear that can happen throughout the year however the cleanliness always remains a very high priority and standard.

"Plenty of space for a family of 8 stay (plus 2 doggies)."
Cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Owners checked in the evening we arrived to make sure all was okay, Great little location with lots of cute little towns surrounding. No complaints, we had a lovely stay,
Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted you, your family (and 2 doggies) enjoyed your stay and loved the location too. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"A very well appointed property ideally suited to family stays or 4 couples getting away for a relaxing few days."
Very spacious lounge dining area and a very well appointed kitchen with every thing needed to provide meals for 8 people. Nathan was the perfect host, available if you needed to ask anything. We would return if we are going to stay in that neck of the woods again and would highly recommend the barn to others. Thanks again Nathan regards Iain
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Tithe Barn. We are so pleased to hear that you had a lovely time with your friends. It's a good size barn and has plendy of room for everyone and a great base to explore the Cotswolds. We would love to welcome you again in the future for another stay. Kind regards Manor Cottages.

"We had a great stay in Tithe Barn, it was very comfortable."
Downstairs was very spacious with good off road parking. The floorboards upstairs are very noisy when moving about and we were mindful of this with a two year old sleeping. Pull switch in the bathrooms could do with replacing. An extra saucepan would be an idea as there was one and a really large one nothing in between. The decor was getting tired and could do with some redecorating in parts. A welcome pack would also be a good idea for when you arrive after a journey. We did have a problem with ants as it was very hot but found some spray under the sink which did the trick.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Tithe Barn. We are so pleased to hear that you had a lovely stay at the barn and we hope you managed to enjoy some of the wonderful places to visit with children in the area. In particular Cotswold Wildlife Park, Cotswold Farm Park and Blenheim Palace with is new kids play ground, don't forget your wet play clothes! The owner will check regarding the pull cord and extra saucepan and confirms that the property was redecorated recently and they provide tea, coffee and milk. They would have been very happy to help you with any queries during your stay. We hope to welcome you again soon for another stay in the area. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Property not as luxurious as would appear from photographs, with basic furniture and minimal quantity of dishes, cups and classes."
We had to wipe down oven and clean grill pan and racks before use on our first night and first morning, having used dishwasher overnight merely for glasses, cups and sideplates we had to re-wash it all after giving very greasy filters a thorough clean. Overall disappointing.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Tithe Barn. We are sorry to hear the property did not meet your expectations with regards to the cleaning and can only apologise that it wasn't up to our usual high standards. We will get in touch with the Owner to confirm the property is clean and to a good standard. Again we are very sorry and hope you still made the most of the area and the lovely places to visit. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Lovely comfortable home for a long weekend."
Comfortable beds, plenty of kitchen equipment, cosy settees, nice outside area. Good location.
Thank you for this lovely feedback. We're delighted you found the cottage to be comfortable and loved the location too. We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"When booking the photos told the truth the photos that weren’t taken and available should have been."
It’s grossly unfair to expect people to pay that much money and not be aware of the views .I blame Sykes for this and giving feed back has no results or apologies which is also unfair . I have booked lots of cottages and feel we deserve that much. There was no welcome pack which loads of people have commented on with no change. The information on the appliances was limited and not organised. The hot water I the bath was dangerously hot my son with learning difficulties had to be supervised which he doesn’t normally. The place was clean and spacious some of the beds have had better days. We did enjoy our stay despite my complaints
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed by the location. The Barn is situated on a working farm, which is stated in the description. We have updated the description to make this more prominent. The views from the bedroom windows can be seen in the photographs online. The owner does provide tea, coffee and sugar for guests' use. They have advised when they provided more, it was not being used. They are happy to review the welcome pack following your feedback. The information folder has now been added to and there are two new beds. The bath is filled with a mixer tap, the knobs can be adjusted to reach the desired water temperature. Despite these niggles, we are pleased that you were still able to enjoy your stay. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"He cottage was basic and did the job but for the price I would have expected slightly more attention to detail."
I note comments made by a previous guest in Sep 2023 have not been addressed. There was little in the way of instruction; the tv was complicated, the heating was set to specific times and didn't really warm the downstairs at the times we were in. We did light the fire but it left the house smelling of smoke. The mirrors were too high for anyone below the height of 6' and there was a lack of mirrors in key rooms. The decor is dated and basic and the small touches normally associated with a property so far from amenities, like a pint of milk in the fridge would have been a nice touch. The beds were comfortable but the extra bed in the main bedroom was not useable. We were overall comfortable and we were able to go for a walk to a pub near by but I would suggest it was a basic large property with plenty of space for large groups.
Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at Tithe Barn. It sounds like you had a lovely stay and thank you for pointing out a few things. We will pass on your comments to the Owner for review. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Great property to get together with friends and family."
Super space to chill, eat, drink and party. Very short drive to pubs, restaurants and cafes. Secure garden for dogs. Only minor criticism is that the barn was almost too warm!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you had a relaxing, cosy stay and you were able to enjoy the local facilities. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"We all enjoyed our stay at the Tithe Barn."
The only criticism from our family was that their beds were hard and uncomfortable. We had a mattress topper on ours which was good, so maybe the rest need the same, apart from that it was a great holiday. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We will pass your comments regarding the beds onto the owner. We hope this didn't impact your stay. We are pleased that you enjoyed your holiday. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"On arrival had to contact owner as could not get TV to work or cooker."
There was no book of instructions for things as there normally would be. We had to cook a meal that evening for 4 in the small top oven which we eventually got to work by guesswork. The owner came the following morning and tried umpteen times to get cooker too come on and TV. He said someone had thrown all the instructions away! He did finally get TV working but it was still hit & miss when the cooker would work properly. Mirrors stuck on walls in washrooms were so high us ladies could barely see our faces in. No dressing table or mirror in main bedroom. Old fashioned over bath shower in bathroom. Overall quite basic and we've been in many other properties at less cost with much better facilities. No welcome pack provided. But on the very last morning we were leaving we were taking our foodstuff out of cupboards and hey ho right at the furthest side of a corner kitchen cupboard we found the instructions pack. Nothing telling us where nearest shop, garage, hospital, fire evacuation etc was. No eating out places recommended.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We're sorry you encountered some issues during your stay and have passed on all your comments to the owners. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Property as described, spacious and clean."
When we did experience a problem with a kitchen appliance the owner promptly resolved it. More than impressed with response and courtesy shown considering it happened over a weekend too.
-
"The barn was clean, spacious and provided all what was needed for a short stay."
Our trip was reduced by a day due to an availability issue which was disappointing as it was showing as available at the time of booking! We had a problem with ants throughout the ground floor and needed to clean constantly but this was the only problem experienced whilst there.
-
"Do think that when they know that a toddler is going, there should be a fire guard provided as they have a log burner which as you know being metal gets extremely hot , so think for safety it would be natural."
We did find with 8 people staying, that the fridge was very small!! Beds extremely comfortable and very good rooms and bathrooms, family enjoyed it as good base
-
"Excellent stay, would recommend, many thanks."
Very tricky to light log burner with no paper and only large logs… but got there in the end!
Thank you for your feedback. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you got the log burner working! Please note that we are on hand should you require anything during any future stays. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"What a wonderful weekend in a lovely location."
There is a pub within walking distance, 10 minutes from the well known Daylesford Farm Shop. The house was clean, tidy and accommodated 7 ladies very well celebrating a 40th Birthday. The kitchen was well equipped, lots of seating and dining area. We really enjoyed the flow of the house with the kitchen, dining area and living room being open and communal which is perfect for groups. Comfortable beds, rooms spacious, en suits and separate toilets. Plenty of parking, lovely outside spaces - we had a great time.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We really appreciate lovely feedback and we're so glad that you and your friends enjoyed the special celebration weekend. We would love to welcome you again. Manor Cottages Property Owner

"We spent a lovely peaceful week in The Barn with two friends at the beginning October."
The barn was ideally situated for the cotswolds etc. very spacious and spotlessly clean. Nathan and his family were always available to answer any queries we had and were very friendly and helpful. I carelessly left a rather heavy vanity case which Nathan returned so i give him top marks for 'aftercare'! Will we stay again at The The Barn ? most definitely (if they will have us ) and will recommend to family and friends x
Thank you for this lovely feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed a relaxing week in Tithe Barn and loved the location too. We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"We paid £1500 for 2 nights in September, while attending a wedding at a local venue."
The least one would expect would be crisp clean white freshly pressed linen, it had possibly been black once, now grey. The mattresses was well beyond being considered acceptable…. they were dreadful. The pull switch in the bathrooms were simply gross. The en-suite shower we had was so feeble we didn’t use it. The towels did not have a freshly laundered feel or scent. The sound proofing from one floor to other ensured that one could hear quite clearly bathrooms sounds from above. There were no tea towels, no welcome pack, not even a pint of milk. There were signs of amateur DIY in the bathrooms, the curtains/ blinds in the bedrooms would have more appropriate in an office. This was a most expensive and miserable experience, having brought this to the attention of Sykes Cottages, their efforts on our behalf were ignored by the owner.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your stay at Tithe Barn. We can only apologise for the experience you have had at the property. This is the not the service we look to offer and will make the owner aware of your comments in order to improve the property as best we can. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Excellent and very comfortable accommodation."
Beds very comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. Would book again. Good off-road parking. Suggestion for minor improvements would be the supply of black bin bags, washing machine tablets, dishcloth and pan scrubber, otherwise well provision..
Fabulous you had a lovely stay. We appreciate your comments with regards to the kitchen supplies and will look into this. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"Perfect layout for a family getaway with 4 couples and 2 toddlers, plenty of space for everyone and safe environment for the kids (fire guard would be an added bonus)."
Great location right on the doorstep of lots of Cotswold attractions. Friendly and accommodating owner was a real plus. It was a very comfortable stay, the only reason I have given 4 stars is due to a few missing conveniences such as welcome pack, bathroom toiletries and kitchen items such as tin foil / cling film. We also found the shower rooms small and in need of updating - but they were perfectly clean and functional. Overall a lovely long weekend!
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and will pass on your suggestions for improvement to the owner. We would love to welcome you back any time in the future. Property Owner

"Lovely barn stay."
Very clean and great layout for a family holiday. Lots of things to do within 30 minute drive. Great host.
-
"Barn is great size, especially downstairs for large families / groups."
Bedrooms are functional but not especially user friendly. Showers are small and hard to adjust, curtains & blinds are barely sufficient to keep light out and photo's of property fail to show that it's totally surrounded by other buildings which makes it feel more claustraphobic that might have been imagined.
Thank you for your feedback on Tithe Barn, we will pass your comments to the owner. We hope you had a great time. Property Owner

"The downstairs area was a fantastic place for us to be together for our family reunion."
The holiday cottage was extremely cosy. Everything was spotless.

"We were kept awake every night of our 4 night stay by a pack of barking dogs, so not quite the quiet countryside location the property is described as being in."
This really did have a huge negative effect on our stay which we had booked to celebrate my Mum's 70th birthday, we were absolutely shattered when left the property and not for the right reasons. The property itself could do with some refurbishments as it is looking tired in places. The beds are very uncomfortable and I was disappointed to see they were made up with mismatched bedding. The showers are tiny and towels provided are looking worn and are small. The kitchen lighting is awful, it is very hard to see what you are doing in the evening when cooking as there are no under cabinet lights, which teamed with a black work top, black tiles and poor ceiling lights makes cooking tricky. The fridge/freezer provided is very small for the size of the property. The lounge/dining area could do with more lamps or a dimmer switch as the lighting is very harsh. I was disappointed that the owner refused any form of refund for the inconvenience caused by the barking dogs, especially as they have obviously had this problem before due to other feedback comments, which unfortunately came online after we had booked.
-
"The barn was clean and comfortable however I feel the need to mention the farm dogs - at least we think it was the farm dogs which barked and howled during the night and early hours."
None of us slept well being constantly woken up by the noise - we are not sure if they were being used as guard dogs? Our party are from farming backgrounds having been brought up and lived on working farms so cannot be assumed to be city people who know nothing of the countryside. Might be an idea to let future clients know of the barking or tell the owners.
We can only apologise that the dogs kept you awake during the night and we will look into this, as we want all of our guests to have the best possible time. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

"Disappointed to find that one room described as having an en-suite only had a WC and wash basin."
The mattresses on the beds although covered with mattress toppers were not 4* standard. As a destination for our family weekend the setting was superb. Sorry we never got to meet the manager but I am sure he was very busy on the farm.
-
"We had a very pleasant week in the barn."
The downstairs was very spacious and the kitchen was well equipped but the fridge was too small for the seven of us staying there. We had an issue with the kettle but this was resolved very quickly by Nathan the owner. The upstairs was a little tired and the furniture was basic. The pillows all need replacing and there were very few decent hangers for clothes in the wardrobes. Overall we had a good holiday but the some aspects of the property could do with an update.
-
"Showers were not powerful, had to hold one of them up right."
Said there was four en-suite but one was just a toilet area and no shower. Apart from that it was a fantastic place, great loving area.
-
"Downstairs very comfortable and well equipped Owner very attentive and helpful Upstairs 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, beds uncomfortable and all need replacing/upgrading, showers poor."
Bedlinen although perfectly clean was poor quality and should be replaced with duvets
Many thanks for your feedback following your stay at Tithe Barn. We welcome your thoughts and following your comments have replaced all bedding and upgraded all shower heads in the bathrooms. Property Owner

The property
Tithe Barn, Lyneham is a superb choice for a large gathering of friends or family looking to be located right in the heart of the Cotswolds and within a very comfortable and spacious barn conversion.
We see it as the ideal choice for a family country holiday given its surroundings, tucked down a very quiet lane on the edge of small village.
Set on a working farm within a small Cotswolds hamlet, the barn has nearby access to the rolling countryside of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds.
Over the years guests have regularly returned to Tithe Barn (which is a very good sign) and we suspect it is because it has a wonderful open plan living space which is absolutely ideal for entertaining.
The owners who are around the corner and happy to give advice and ideas on what to do locally have worked hard to make this an attractive destination and together the property and the classic countryside surroundings make it perfect as a get-a-way choice.
Internally the barn has been well renovated and provides superb facilities and touches including the enormous windows in the centre of the building.
Externally this English Country barn has an enclosed garden and access to brilliant walks in every direction.
An absolute favourite with our customers, and you can see why. PLEASE NOTE THE COTTAGE CAN SLEEP 10 PEOPLE IN TOTAL 8 IN BEDS AND 2 ON THE SOFA BED.
You can use the sofa bed FREE of charge but you MUST bring your own bed linen and towels for the sofa bed.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.
About the location
BURFORD
Swinbrook 2.4 miles; Little Barrington 3.5 miles; Minster Lovell 5.6 miles.
Burford is possibly one of, if not the most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, it is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located midway between Oxford and Cheltenham, it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit. The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits! With little change over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and tea shops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudeley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all within ten miles.
