Beautiful home away from home

Wow, this house is amazing, beautifully renovated - every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The location is idyllic - set in the heart of the countryside. The hosts were very approachable, all our queries prior to arrival were answered very swiftly and were on hand throughout our stay - thank you David and Martyn, it’s safe to say we will be back.

Wonderful Stay

We had the best time at Owls Nest Barn. Pictures don't do justice, the barn is amazing, rooms are all so comfortable and have a hotel feel to it and you are in a farm surrounded by lovely cows. Hosts were super friendly, helpful. Special thanks to David, who was super responsive and also gave us a lovely tour of the farm. We would definitely come back. Thank you.

Delighted

We met up here with old friends. We were very pleased with an en-suite for every couple. High quality facilities for kitchen, bathroom and comfortable living areas. Proprietors easily accessible and quick to help. They made us feel very welcome and even showed us their new calves. Beautiful surrounding countryside. One very small disadvantage is no garden. There is pleasant outside area with a barbecue but it has a roof .

A wonderful stay

Owl’s Nest was the perfect family getaway retreat. Stocked with everything you could possibly need, it was a fantastic break. The sounds of cows and swallows woke us up each day and there was space for all 9 of us to spread out. A great stay, we would love to be back.

Lovely stay!

Thanks for a lovely stay! Very comfortable accommodation and had lots of fun with the table tennis. Thanks for the delicious cake!(Would benefit from slightly more kitchen utensils and a better hob and oven. We managed, but found them hard to use, particularly the induction hob.)

Wonderful house, hosts & location

The owls nest barn is a lovely place to stay, all the rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. It’s well appointed with everything you need. Being in a working farm makes it so much fun, seeing the cows come in and go out in the morning is a highlight. The hosts are very responsive and friendly. Martyn the farmer introduced us to the cows and calves, chickens and kittens!

Just perfect

Had a wonderful two night stay in this amazing 'home'. Warm, very clean, very comfortable and cannot think of anything I would change ....other than the length of our stay!!We booked for a family gathering for my son's wedding at Elmore Court which worked perfectly ( the groomsmen were able to join us at the house for dressing on the day). All of our needs were covered and communicating with David and Claire ( many congratulations to you both on the new baby girl) was excellent. I enjoyed the compliments from my family on my choice of accommodation. Perfect!! Thanks for all your hospitality ( and for quickly updating us to inform us of something we had left behind - we were able to return to collect).

Ideal property

The property is very comfortable, modern and spotless. The provision of an outside table tennis table was a bonus. The owners were very helpful, courteous and available though not interfering. The barn is on a working farm. The property is fully equipped with all you need. Would highly recommend this property.

A beautiful farm retreat

This is a beautifully designed and well appointed converted farm building, well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are spacious and light and tastefully furnished. The owners gave us a warm welcome and were easily contactable if we needed them. A delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake on arrival hit the spot. The surrounding countryside is really peaceful and it was lovely to observe the cows arriving for milking each day but many Cotswold attractions are within easy reach.

Beautiful house, great host

We stayed at Owls Nest Barn (on brook Farm) near Gloucester and the house was absolutely wonderful. Everything looked brand new, beautiful big kitchen diner and flowing through to the spacious lounge area. 4 huge bedrooms with lovely comfy beds and bathrooms. Immaculately clean. David the host was so helpful and took time to show us around the farm. Useful outside area under cover with seating, and table tennis (and bbq but we did not use). A really wonderful place to stay.

Beautiful stay at Owls Nest

We stayed for a week at Owl's Nest Barn. The property was exactly as pictured online and had everything we needed. We chose it due to location and the fact it had two ground floor bedrooms, which was important for my father in law who has limited mobility and he had no problems staying here. Communication from the hosts was great and easy. They were very welcoming and lovely and provided a starter pack of milk, bread and a delicious lemon drizzle. The oven and stove were a bit trickly to figure out, but we managed most nights. The outdoor space was lovely. Had lots of fun playing table tennis. The surrounding property is beautiful and we enjoyed walks up to the ponds and to the church. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.
