February short break in the Cotswolds

We stayed at Coursehill Barn Annexe for 4 nights in February 2025. The location was convenient for visiting Oxford and the Cotswolds but the access road was quite potholed and bumpy. The what3words directions did not work and we were initially directed down the wrong road, fortunately we arrived during daylight otherwise it may have been quite tricky. The barn itself is very airy and warm with lovely views out onto the fields and countryside. We felt that the cleanliness could have been better, there were dirty pans, freezer and oven. The shower plug hole was also full of hair. It felt a little bit unloved, which is a shame as the fittings and furniture had obviously been of good quality. Although these might seem small issues it does impact on the general feel of a place. If the above issues are addressed I would recommend it to others.

Lovely Place

We loved the big garden and the planes flying over. The annexe was nice and spacious and had everything we needed. We could find it easily and it was great that we could park the car just outside our place. Our dog also had a great time and we weren't too far away from the wonderful villages in the Cotswolds area. We had a great time here and were sorry we had to leave.

A fantastic bolt hole!

We had a fantastic long weekend at Coursehill Barn - the barn conversion is very well done and comfortable. There was also the use of the field which was good for our dog to enjoy running around in.

Situated in a secluded spot

Lovely quiet situation - but on the flight path to Brize Norton which was busy during our stay. May be worth mentioning in the brief for the property.

Beautiful, quiet and comfortable spot

It was lovely to wake up to the views and watch the big sky at night. The house was very comfortable and with everything one needed, it was also warm. James our contact and the management company were very quick to reply when I contacted them. I would definitely stay there again.

Weekend Stay

Very nice location, property very clean and tidy our dog loved the additional field for his excercise. The journey into Witney took about 5 minutes depending on traffic. As an aircraft enthusiast you are on the flight path for Brize Norton. This is our second visit and will definitely come again.

A Pleasant stay

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Annexe, which was very well fitted out and had good quality towels and bed linen. The kitchen was very well equipped and roomy. The location was good and was easy accessible to Witney. Brize Norton was close by so aircraft were fairly frequent but not too intrusive and we found them interesting to watch. The only slight problem was that the bed appeared to be narrower than what we are normally used to. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and we would certainly stay at the property again.

An enjoyable break.

The Barn is lovely and roomy and everything was nice and clean. Well placed for many places to visit in the area. Pleasant gardens. Ignore your Satnav if it tells you to use the eastern 'arm' of Coursehill Lane to get there, use the northern 'arm' (sorry, can't think of a better way to explain it!).

Lovely spacious well equipped property

A bit out of the way to find as our sat nav did not take us to the property as it is down an unmade road! It is a lovely spacious property, very well equipped with fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave and oven. We particularly liked the hallway entrance lobby with space for shoes, bags and dog leads. The remote controlled skylights were fabulous and very welcome in the hot weather, especially at night to get a cool breeze. From reading the other reviews about planes from Brize Norton we were pleasantly surprised how quiet it was during our weekend break. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay - as did our spaniel - who made good use of the dog friendly garden and paddock.

Loved the Annexe

Great place to stay. Me and the dog loved it. Very quiet (except being on the flight path of RAF Brize Norton). Loved the planes, so it didn't bother me, after the shock of the first one! Beautifully furnished, with an amazing garden and field beyond for the dog. Located close to visit the Cotswold Wildlife Park. Would highly recommend.

Peaceful getaway.

The annex was lovely. Quiet location. Lovely big garden for the dog to play in. Close to lake walks and fishing lakes if that's what you like to do. Didn't take advantage of the local area as we were unable to take our dog to many places but was ideal to de- stress and unwind.

A well located property

The Annex was in a good location and the field for dog walking was ideal, one thing to be aware of is the farm complex is on the flight path for low aircraft going into Brize Norton, but being a aircraft enthusiast I was able to get some good photos. The rooms were clean and the large lounge/kitchen area were ideal for our Spaniel. Would like to come back.

Beautiful place to stay

We stayed in this Annex as it was close to landmarks we wanted to visit within Oxfordshire. The Annex is gorgeous, very spacious and very cosy. It's in a very tucked away location yet close to amenities. Its surrounded by a few other beautiful properties but nonetheless very quiet. Only thing we picked up on was the dog hair on the bed throw and on the mat on the living room. All in all, a lovely place to stay and would definitely stay again!

Real gem

This is a lovely place to stay. Idyllic location on a farm. Ideal for dogs due to large garden and field adjoining the property. Inside was tastefully decorated and well appointed with everything you need for your stay. Plenty of room for parking. You do get the occasional noise from planes at nearby RAF Brize Norton, but that didn't bother us.
