"Exactly what we were looking for, wonderful location and styled beautifully such lovely little touches!"
tasteful and filled with everything we could want for a relaxing stay. Would highly recommend.

"We had a lovely holiday in this beautiful cottage."
We had everything we needed and the bed was so comfortable - the best sleep for a long time! The hot tub was so good after a day of walking and the log burner made the place extra cozy. The cottage is set in a beautiful location opposite Westonbirt Arboretum which is such a magical place - incredibly beautiful with the love autumn colours. I would certainly recommend this lovely cottage.

"We had the most beautiful stay here for our mini moon."
It was spotless, stunning inside and out and was well equipped. We struggled to get a taxi on any day as we really hoped to both be able to have a drink and go out for dinner, which was a shame but definitely didn’t spoil our stay and wouldn’t put us off coming back at all, it’s just worth a mention in case anyone else was thinking the same when booking. The village is only a 5 minute drive away so very close. Thank you for the perfect start to married life!
Thankyou for your kind feedback Susan,we are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately being in the countryside taxis are notoriously difficult and often need to be booked well in advance of your stay. We will look into this and see if we can update our taxi information to include some companies from Cirencester who may be more avaliable. Property Owner

"An absolutely stunning property, perfectly described by the host."
Emma & Karl have made a perfect little cosy sanctuary for couples who are looking for that much needed break away to relax and recharge. Hosts are friendly and chatty and really made us feel welcome. The gorgeous town of Tetbury is just a short drive away which is great, highly recommend the Italian restaurant there for anyone wanting a lovely meal out. Recommendation for anyone staying - take Carrots and Ginger Nut Biscuits the donkeys (Wallace, Kanye and Fred!) will love you forever and so will the sheep! Can't recommend enough and we will definitely be returning.

"We had a seven day stay."
The location is very conveniant for using as a base for visiting other locations. The property was very clean. The approach to the property is one way so exercise precaution.Hot tub was rather relaxing for a while in the evening. While here DO get to see the chickens in their posh home and don't forget the ginger nuts for the donkeys. All in all a damn good stay. Thank you.
Thankyou so much for staying with us and for your lovely feedback Property Owner

"Our second stay at this lovely property."
So cosy and the hot tub is super after a days walking. We love the Arboretum and hope to visit again later in the year, fortunately we know a great place to stay. Nice local pubs and lots to do without driving too far.

"A lovely place to stay and in a good area for the cotswolds, we felt at home and it had all we needed for our stay,the bed was very comfortable, was a bit narrow around the bed due to the shape of the ceiling but we knew this and wasn't a problem for us,the hot tub was amazing which we used every day,secure parking was good."
Thank you to the hosts we enjoyed our stay . Steve & Emma

"The Hayloft was just perfect for our weekend away."
Exceptionally clean, with top quality finishes throughout; Le Cruset cookware and tableware, buttery soft bedlinen and plump duck down bedding. Lovely private patio to enjoy the hot tub and evening sun. Icing on the cake was the use of the owners own garden and gazebo and meeting their dogs and donkeys. Turns out Karl and I grew up minutes away from each other- small world! Make your booking at The Hayloft, you won't be disappointed
Such lovely feedback, thankyou for staying with us- we are glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"Wonderful luxury cottage, had a lovely week, plenty of gorgeous Cotswold villages/ town to visit."
Log burner was a must as it was a really cold week, plenty of logs (great log store outside for us to help ourselves) We ate in almost every night, lots of nice Le Creuset pans and oven wear to use. Used the hot tub a lot, was impressed by the built in Bluetooth speaker. Would definitely recommend.

"A beautifully renovated and decorated cottage."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our only suggestion would be some non stick pans and a few more tea towels and maybe a little welcome pack of basics such as milk and bread etc as the nearest shops are some distance. We had a great time.
Thankyou for staying with us,and for leaving us your feedback. We trialled ‘welcome packs’ at various points over the last 18months.However, we found that due to customers individual preferences,allergies and intolerances much was going to waste. We do provide unlimited nespresso pods, tea bags sugar and milk sticks so that our customers can make a hot drink after their journey. Property Owner

"Loved the attention to detail and the high quality fixtures and fittings."
We had a peaceful and relaxing stay which was exactly what we were looking for.
-
"Beautiful place to stay with everything you need provided."
Really nice location right by the Arboretum. Lots of nice places to eat within a short drive.
-
"The Hayloft is a no expense spared, couples holiday let for touring the southern Cotswolds."
Literally on the doorstep of Westonbirt National Arboretum, a few minutes from Highgrove/Tetbury. It is stunning in every respect. The only downside comfort wise is the restricted headroom around the king size bed up in the roof space; it involves a bit of bending to get around. Otherwise it has everything necessary for a very relaxing break and is highly recommended.
-
"Beautiful property very modern and cosy."
Local town 6 minute drive which was fab for cafes and restaurants. It would be good to suggests other guest be mindful of parking. Check out 10am is a little early.
-
"Fantastic conversion which has a blend of old and new sitting well together."
The character of the building has been maintained and cleverly brought up to date. We are from a farming background and can clearly visualise the nature of the property pre conversion . Everything was perfect from start to finish . Wonderful location . Our only regret is that we hadn’t booked a longer stay . Highly recommended .

"The Hayloft was amazing!"
I can’t recommend highly enough. Everything was perfect! The property was tastefully decorated throughout and had everything you’d need. The Japanese bath was a particular highlight, as was the two person hot tub. Lots of places to visit nearby including Westonbirt Arboretum (directly opposite), Tetbury, Stow-on-the-Wold, Castle Combe, Bourton-on-the-Water, Arlington Row and Cirencester. Also got to WWT Slimbridge, a wetland wildlife reserve. There were lots of nice restaurants to eat out. Lola and Co tapas in Tebury was fantastic! As was Amalfi in Nailsworth. The owners were lovely. Make sure to go say hi to the donkeys and chickens that live in the grounds. The donkeys are super friendly and couldn’t get enough of the carrots and ginger biscuits. Would’ve loved to have stayed longer!
Thankyou so much for leaving us such lovely comments. We are so fortunate to be in a beautiful part of the Cotswolds with loads to do just on the doorstep, we are so glad you managed to see so much of it during your stay. Lola and Co is one of our favourite places to eat! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future xxx Property Owner

"We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hayloft."
The detail and thought put into the accommodation is wonderful. It has a lovely welcoming feel which we enjoyed immensely , from the hot tub to the donkeys! The only disappointment was that we didn't book for a little longer.
Thankyou for your feedback Kevin, we hope to see you again in the future Property Owner

"A lovely modern yet cosy and sympathetically restored stable / hayloft."
A little height restricted in places upstairs but nothing you don’t get used to. The hot tub is a real welcome addition, especially after a days walking and the electric car charger a real bonus. The Arboretum is well worth a visit, and must be spectacular in the autumn, in fact we’d definitely book here again and are thinking about doing later in the year. A lovely property.
Thankyou for taking the time to leave us some feedback Tim- much appreciated. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hopefully look forward to welcoming you back later in the year Property Owner

"This property is stunning, fully equipped with everything you need."
beautiful surroundings. the only issue we had was with the electric gates at the front of the property. they are slightly hard to get the hang of. other than that would recommend 1000%
Thankyou for staying with us Lucy. We have updated our user instructions for the gates following your feedback. Property Owner

"I don’t know what to say, The Hayloft is better than the pictures and the description!"
It’s modern, beautiful and homely! Amazing attention and high spec facilities. Emma and Karl (owners) were so accommodating. The Hayloft is located on their property but they made us most welcome, invited us into their ground to meet all their furry friends! They gave us fresh eggs from their chickens, petted their retired donkeys and we met their 9 day old orphan lamb (great touch for easter break!) We can’t recommend enough! Only downside is that we didn’t book for longer. Emma and Karl, thank you again. We hope to see you in the future.
Thankyou so much for staying with us and for your wonderful feedback Ellie. We are so happy to hear you had a lovely stay, it was great to meet you both. Property Owner

"An absolutely stunning cottage , everything was perfect, we had everything we could have required and we will definitely visit again."
The donkeys were a delight. Utterly beautiful and a nice walk down to the hare and hounds pub, taxis were very bookable though.
Thankyou for leaving such positive feedback Alice. We look forward to seeing you both again. Unfortunately, being in the countryside taxis can be a little challenging unless booked well in advance-we provide details of several local companies in our pre-arrival brochure, to allow guests to arrange their transport before they stay with us.

"Perfect location and a lovely place to stay combines everything you might need with style and being cosy."

"The hayloft is a little hidden gem."
Tucked away offering complete privacy. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and everything is of the highest standard. Comfortable cosy bed and an immaculate bathroom with a very powerful large shower cubicle and luxury bath, with fluffy white towels. The underfloor heating throughout is lovely and very welcoming. Had the pleasure of meeting the 3 donkeys that live there and their friendly dogs, such beautiful grounds. My only regret is that I hadn’t booked for longer.
Such lovely feedback- Thankyou so much. It was lovely to meet you, and we hope to see you both again. Property Owner

"The Hayloft was beautiful and we really enjoyed our time there."
The whole place was spotless and the kitchen had everything you could want. Emma was very friendly and made herself available if we needed anything. I would really recommend staying here and hopefully will be back.

"We booked this stay back in August and have been counting down the days to come."
To say it was as good as the pictures doesn’t even do this place justice. It’s the most beautiful place, clean and so comfy it truly felt like a home away from home, we even said to eachother that we would happily live there it was that good! We’ve already recommended over 5 people to come here and will definitely come back. Emma was an absolutely delight, my partner saw both Emma and her husband and said how welcoming and lovely they were, and I stayed in touch with her over our stay and we didn’t feel like nuisance at all, ever. The hot tub was unreal morning and night and they have all the stuff you could need here. The ambient lighting is nothing short of a delight as people in their twenties it was so modern but so cosy! Honestly could not recommend this stay and if not the adjoining barn just for how good our stay was! X
Thank you for your absolutely lovely feedback. We really hope to see you back again soon Property Owner

"What an absolute delight, from the minute we opened the door our 3 night stay was simply perfect."
The Hayloft has been appointed to a high standard, feels snug and extremely comfortable. The bath is such a treat & welcome after our cold/atmospheric walks. All needs are catered for, we loved the location, so easy to access the Arboretum and other walks in the vicinity, beautiful countryside. We met Emma, one of the owners on our final day, as delightful as the accommodation. We’ll definitely return and our only wish was that we’d stayed for longer; next time eh
Thankyou for such lovely feedback Delyth, it was a pleasure to meet you both. We can't wait to welcome you both back again in the future. Property Owner

"A fabulous place to stay despite the rather wet and windy weather."
Made full use of the hot tub even in the rain. Had days out in the local towns and villages Christmas shopping and was the perfect place to stay for the light show at Westonbirt.
-
"We had a fab weekend in the Hayloft."
The location couldn't be better for Highgrove and Westonbirt. We really loved the comfy bed, wood burning stove and hot tub. The general spec was very impressive and made the stay so special. Thanks for having us - we have recommended you to our friends.

"After an injury the day before we were supposed to come to the hayloft, we ..."
After an injury the day before we were supposed to come to the hayloft, we didn’t have a car for the week but Emma was so accommodating with this, we absolutely loved our stay and will be back next year
-
"The Hayloft felt very welcoming when we arrived."
Very stylish, with lots of nice little touches. Well equipped too, even a wine fridge. Emma was lovely and dealt with any problems very promptly. Look out for the sloping ceilings upstairs, but that gives it character. Very close to Westonbirt Arboretum, which is well worth a visit.
Thankyou for your kind feedback. We are very fortunate to live in such close proximity to Westonbirt,and are glad you managed to catch the Autumn colours. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"The Hayloft far exceeded all of our expectations."
Karl and Emma were fabulous hosts, always there if we needed them - discreetly in the background. The property is decorated to the very highest standard with an amazing hot tub complete with hot tub slippers and towels. The robes, towels and bedding were also pure luxury. We cannot rate this little gem highly enough and will definitely be going back. There is so much to see and do in the surrounding area with Westonbirt Arboretum being a must visit. Meeting the donkeys and chickens and use of the gardens was also a big thumbs up for our weekend. Thank you both for an amazing bank holiday weekend. X

"We had a great long weekend staying at The Hayloft."
On our first evening we were lucky to bump into the owners & Emma just as it was feeding time for the donkeys. Lovely chatting to you both & thanks very much for the milk :o) The Hayloft is very clean and comfortable and the fan was much appreciated on what turned out to be the hottest weekend of 2022! Love the hot tub too - disco lights with bluetooth speakers so you can play your very own tunes!!!

"Cannot fault, the property was exactly how it was listed and more."
