Self catering Cotswold holiday accommodation within easy reach of Oxford - Blossom Barn

This place was a bit deflating. I’d recently spent some time in several other cottages of a much higher standard in the same price range. The furnishings and décor are tired and there was a musky smell throughout the property. It’s not particularly clean. The skirting boards were thick with dust in lots of places. There’s mould in the wet room, which remains wet and damp for most of the day after a shower in the morning. The cutlery was grubby. There are several other rental places on the same site and the goldfish bowl design of the building means you can see how long the cleaners spend preparing the cottages for the next guests, which is about 20 minutes. Perhaps most disappointing of all was the noise from the neighbouring cottage and the lorries using the road immediately behind one of the bedrooms to access the farm. Part of the stay was spent enduring some children who seemed to be living in a different time zone and played loudly from 1-3am. After they left, the next guest in the same cottage could be heard snoring throughout the night, so the walls are clearly not very soundproof. The Lamb at Buckland was the highlight of the visit. Excellent food and very reasonably priced.

Clean well appointed comfortable accomodation. Nicely set in courtyard. Ideal for multifamily gatherings

Goodlake Barns are a perfect location for visiting the Cotswolds. Our accommodation in Blossom Barn was was extremely comfortable, clean and equipped with all neccessary items including towels and soap dispensers. An extra nice touch were the complimentary buiscuits. After a full day touring the area, it was nice to return to a quiet, homely atmosphere. My wife is disabled, so being on one level, Blossom Barn was perfect for her needs. I think we will return.

Blossom Barn provided us with a comfortable mid-week stay and although the overall cleanliness of the barn was acceptable, certain aspects let it down. The oven was dirty and grill sticky, not enough bowls, some of curtains in the sitting room area were hanging off the rails (we have subsequently heard new rails and new curtains will be installed soon but for our stay we felt there was a lack of making a good impression for all customers). In addition the super-king sized mattress was uncomfortable so after the first night we used bedroom number two. The location for access to the Cotswolds was excellent and the area was extremely quiet.

We were a party of 4 staying in Blossom Barn. We found it to be very comfortable and clean with all of the amenities that we required. My husband is disabled so being on one level was great for him. There was a lovely wet room which was easy for hi. To navigate. I know it is not advertised as a disabled toiket/bathroom but the addition of a few grab rails in there would make all the difference to anyone who is disabled or elderly visitors. The location of the barn was within easy reach of Swindon, Oxford, Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds Wildlife Park. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Excellent accommodation, very welcoming and easy access highly recommend to his place Nice touch of adding a Christmas tree in the barn for the couple of weeks before Christmas

Great property. Great location. Highly recomened

Great property .lovely location

Lovely property in a great location

A lovely converted barn with plenty of room for 4 adults. There are 2 good size double bedrooms, 1 with a double bed & the other with twin beds. There are also 2 bathrooms, 1 of which is a wet room. I am disabled so the wet room was a must for me! My only issue is that the wet room could do with a grab rail by the toilet & another by the shower. The shower would also be improved by providing a shower stool or chair.
