Just perfect

Well appointed, very spacious yet cozy cottage in a great location. Super pub and decent supermarket close by an additional bonus.

Top class Cotswold stay!

Six family members stayed for a long weekend, and we were each wowed by the impressive quality of fixtures and fittings, beautiful decor, and spacious accommodation. We loved our stay, from the warm welcome on arrival (lamps and heating already switched on, and soft music playing throughout… lovely!), to the walk around the corner to the lovely village pub one evening (log fires, friendly staff and excellent food). Just a couple of tiny additions would have made it even more perfect… an extra armchair in the lounge (the settee realistically only seats four comfortably), and a washing up sponge/dishcloth in the kitchen (to help us wipe down the surfaces and keep it clean)!

Beautiful cottage in village location

Rectory barn was everything we'd hoped for and more. Very spacious, beautifully furnished. Peaceful village location with excellent local pub serving range of food and ales. Close to Stow-on-the-Wold and all Cotswold attractions within short driving distance. Couldn't have wished for a better Autumn break.

Super property in a great location

As regular overseas visitors to the Cotswolds, we have rented many excellent properties in a variety of locations/ villages; Rectory Barn is one of the best and it's in a fantastic location - the local pub, the Fox Inn is one of the best in the Cotswolds and Broadwell is extremely convenient for towns like Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh, etc - and there are plenty of hikes/ walks in beautiful countryside to a plethora of picturesque Cotswold villages, and many other local attractions. The property is very spacious, extremely comfortable and very well-presented - clean, high quality furnishings and fixtures - and occupies a quiet and private location. In particular, we loved the spacious, well-equipped kitchen and the large, very comfortable lounge - with log-burner, starter pack provided - both of which combined to provide happy social spaces; and the small snug lounge provides a quiet space should it be needed. The bedrooms are also large, with very comfortable beds and well-equipped; including en-suite/ dedicated bathrooms. We would happily re-book Rectory Barn for future visits.

Fantastic spacious cottage!

We loved our stay at Rectory Barn! The photos online don’t fully convey how wonderfully large all the rooms are, very clean, very spacious and comfortable. A perfect house that we’ll definitely return to. Lovely extra touches on arrival such as the table pre-laid for a meal, and stair gates put on without us having to ask (our youngest is 3 so that’s very helpful!). Totally delighted with our stay and wish it had been longer!

Perfect place to stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and stay to Broadwell. The cottage had (almost) everything that we needed and was very clean and welcoming! What a stunning place and immaculate garden. The only thing missing was mention of personal products like shampoo and soap which we easily bought in the end but it would have been helpful to know prior to a transatlantic flight.

Great house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at rectory barn, and it is truly a beautiful house. The location was perfect distance from lots Of lovely places to visit. The beds were comfortable and it was just a great house for our family to get together. The owner was very good to deal with, and was helpful. The only thing I felt was not up to the same standard was the service from staycotswold, who were not that helpful when I asked for an earlier check-in, it wasn’t possible - which is absolutely fine but when I contacted them to follow up ,as I imagine the owner was very busy, the service was very much ‘it's out of our hands’ and made me feel like we were asking too much. Apart from that I felt the stay was lovely and would happily come again.

Nice quiet location

This is a great spot just outside Stow-on-the-Wold, the Fox Inn is a five minute walk away (cosy welcoming pub with open fire, great beer and food served). Easy parking next to Tesco, with a short walk to the centre of the village. Short drive to Moreton-in-Marsh railway station for a direct train into Oxford Quirky layout which works ok, although the childgates on the stairs are fixed and cannot be removed. Cosy lounge with log burning stove. No information/welcome guide provided regarding operating instructions for house/heating/appliances etc, or local walks/amenities, and the phone signal/internet is 'rural' at best.

Wonderful week in the Cotswolds!

Fantastic! We loved The Rectory Barn! It was clean, spacious, comfortable, and beautiful! The beds were very comfortable and our family of 7 slept very well. The hosts have done an excellent job updating it and making it a wonderful place to stay. The location is perfect for visiting the well-known, must-see towns of the Cotwolds. Plenty of easy parking, grocery store minutes away, beautiful enclosed garden/yard, helpful and attentive hosts, and gorgeous interior decorating highlight this magnificent vacation get-away. We would definitely stay here again!

Nothing but praise

We booked the cottage for my 40th birthday weekend and it was everything we needed. The bedrooms were big, all with lovely ensuite rooms, more than enough space for the 7 of us, and probably room for a couple more. It's perfectly located for exploring the Cotswolds, and more than enough to do if you wanted to stay in the cottage and relax. Our 5-year-old in particular loved the dog bingo game! 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing stay

Me and my friends booked a weekend here to get together before Christmas and we had such a lovely stay. The barn was well equipped and everything was immaculate. Beds were very large and comfortable and the living room area was perfect. Lots of DVD films also however we couldn’t get the player beside the TV to work. Location wise it’s not far of a walk from a large Tesco where there’s also a nice village to walk through. Lots of villages within a short drive also. We would definitely stay again and I would highly recommend.

Relaxing comfortable autumn stay

The cottage is really well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Furnishings are of a high standard. The rooms in the cottage are very spacious and the beds in the two main bedrooms were huge. Lovely relaxing pre-Christmas stay with the dog and children. My only recommendations would be to have a guest book as we weren’t sure when bins needed to go out etc… Also downstairs was quite cold even with the extra heater so maybe have the temperature set slightly higher. Would definitely consider staying here when visiting the Cotswolds again.

A great stay at Rectory Barn

The Rectory Barn was a beautiful place to stay. The location was perfect. Our needs were well catered for. All the rooms are spacious and well furnished and the kitchen is well equipped. The beds and bedding were comfortable but we felt the towels could have been thicker and larger. The local pub was a short stroll away and well worth a visit. Also the walk into Stow on the Wold by the Monarchs Way was pleasant. Our only criticism was the property felt a bit chilly in the evenings ( mainly due to the weather) so we lit a fire a couple of nights. Also despite searching we could not find anyinstructions for the property (ie recycling/bin day etc) but these did not in any way spoil our stay. We had a lovely week and hope to make return visit.

Loved It! Highly Recommended!

It was great! We absolutely loved it! The location was great, short driving distances to Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh, which both had grocery stores and everything else you need for a visit to the Cotswolds. We ate breakfast at the house and cooked and ate several dinners at the house as well. The only downside about the location, is that a car is needed. But with a car, you can explore all around, making short trips throughout the Cotswolds or even venturing further out. One of the best parts of us, is that we had a large family there and there were plenty of beds and four full baths! This meant bathroom usage was not a problem at all (which is not at all the case with a hotel). We absolutely loved the it and would love to own a place like that. As for StayCotswolds, working with them was easy and simple. No problems whatsoever. If we venture to the Cotswolds again and are looking for a place to stay, we would happily book with StayCotswold again!

Four day break for 4 OAPs

1. There were no instructions of any kind about any of the appliances - including the central heating - anywhere in the cottage. This proved very frustrating indeed. 2. The cottage was reasonably warm in the kitchen but in the sitting room and the bedrooms and bathrooms the heating did not appear to be working at all including the towel rails. Consequently, the aged guests (all of whom are nevertheless mobile and active) were very uncomfortable especially in the evenings and most of our socialising had to take place in the kitchen. 3. When we contacted the agent abouit the heating there was susequent confusion him and the owner about who was meant to be sorting this out. We were given a small electric heater which had little effect and it wasn't until our return to the cottage on Thursday evening (the night before we were due to leave) that the heating situation was remedied. 4. The recycling process within this postcode was extremely complicated and there was nothing in the cottage to explain what needed to be done. These problems were a great shame because the cottage itself had the potential to be an extremely attactive holiday home. However, without remedying the above points we would not wish to return nor be able to recommend it to others. We would ask that these observations are passed on to Stay Cotswold. Thank you.

A lovely stay

I cannot find much to critique with the property itself, it was perfect for what we needed & there was plenty of room. Gorgeous garden area too. Beds were comfortable. Shower & bathroom options were plenty. Make sure to bring your own toiletries as there weren’t any. Nice touch with the bottle of wine & fruit loaf too. I noticed the wooden beams in the main bedroom were all suffering with woodworm quite badly so may need looking into. The bit that we found frustrating were the instructions on where to park (not out the front - could be made much clearer with a sign saying not parking for rectory barn) and entry in general could be much clearer in the welcome app as well as at the property under “arriving at the property” rather than hidden in other tabs. The codes aren’t in the access the property bit either - we were told we would get a message ahead but this didn’t arrive. Then there were no keys in the lockbox out the front which is where you’d assume you’d enter the property - should have something in there to say that there’s another lockbox out the back too. Small details but would have made getting into the house with kids a lot less stressful. That aside everything was absolutely spot on for what we needed & we would 100% book again if visiting the area.
