Vintage Family Barn Conversion near Faringdon - Punch Barn

We stayed at Punch Barn cottage over the New Year and had a fabulous week away. It’s a lovely, well kept cottage, and a good location for visiting nearby towns such as Cirencester and Oxford as well as Bourton on the Water - we will be back soon.

We had a wonderful time staying at Punch Barn. The location was great, the facilities were lovely, and my entire family had a great time. The beds were heavenly - and we had a blast in the living room watching movies, having some pizza, etc. The kitchen was great, had all the items we needed and we made some pizza for dinner. Amazing how much money we saved by making our own breakfast and dinner and not having to go out. It was perfect. We used the washer (worked perfectly) and the shower had great water pressure. My family wanted to stay longer before we headed into London, then compared everywhere we stayed to this place. Punch Barn won every comparison. Would stay here again, and highly recommend.

We enjoyed a relaxing 4night break in Punch Barn, a converted barn/stable complex on a working farm. It's situated in a quiet, pretty hamlet, which has no amenities, so you'll need a car to explore the surrounding area and to eat out. Good quality furnishings and fittings and everything we needed to enjoy our 4 night break away. The kitchen area could benefit from some additional task lighting and the black bin bag collection area needs better signposting, but these are minor issues which did not detract from a very pleasant stay. Shelley was most helpful and friendly and we would love to come and stay again.

We booked Punch Barn less that 5 days before we arrived. We loved the look of the pictures and the barn itself was reflective of that. Cozy, clean and just as we had imagined. It was the perfect base for our stay.

We were looking for accommodation near Highworth and Punch Barn was very convenient. Though there are no local amenities in walking distance, all you needed was less than a 10 Minute drive away in Farringdon. Communication was very prompt and excellent - all the info needed was provided before asking and we found our way and got into the place very easily. The interior is finished to a very high standard and extra things like dishwasher tablets and washing detergent were also provided. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom very new and there was plenty of space to relax. It was very central to all the places we wanted to visit in the Cotswolds. We would definitely look it up again if we were to come back to the same area.

Brilliant. Loved our stay and the location could not have been better. Customer service was excellent

Great location for exploring the Cotswolds. Easy to find with the instructions provided, property was clean, spacious and cosy. A perfect place for a mini break away!

Only drawback was a fan noise that was very loud at night, particularly in twin bedded room. Sounded like a mighty storm enough to keep occupants awake. We couldn’t find out what or where it came from. Otherwise all good.

My sister had stayed in Punch before, so when a family member needed us close by it was the perfect property to feel relaxed and happy in. Light, airy, well equipped and in a beautiful hamlet with plenty of walking nearby, which was lovely in early mornings. Everything you need and huge bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Home from home but with a hint of luxury.

We were very comfortable at Punch Barn and would stay there again. Nicely spacious, but warm and cosy. However, we feel the preparation could have been better: 1. Ceiling light not working - a common weakness 2. Not sufficient cutlery and kitchen items (e.g. no small sharp knives), but plenty of crockery and glasses - another common weakness 3. Grill pan needed cleaning - not very common these days 4. Damp smell from one of the settees - Hmmm 5. Outdoor light on the blink Not major issues, just irritants that could be easily rectified (except perhaps 4). We felt it was at the upper end of reasonably priced.
