Bourton on the Water, England
SOUTHWOLD BARN is a luxurious conversion of five cart barns in Compton Abdale. The village is one of those 'that time forgot' where there are many beautiful country houses, mixed with quirky Cotswold cottages all on little lanes which lead towards the village spring in the shape of a cotswold stone crocodile!

Being in the centre of Cotswolds, Southwold Barn is a short drive away from the main Cotswolds towns of Cheltenham, Cirencester, Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the Water. There are numerous pubs and restaurants locally.
We loved the barn and the village, and Stuart was great. Lovely details over and above expectations (milk in the fridge, fresh flowers etc). I booked this for the stream: possibly the world's smallest steam but the whole area is full of streams! We had a lovely time and may well return. Just two comments that might be helpful for other hirers: downstairs is *very* dark at night (although there is a motion sensor / torch in the corridor, thank you) and upstairs doesn't get very dark at all (white blinds on the velux type windows) so allocate bedrooms appropriately
Our son’s wedding was held at Stone Barn on the Saturday and we booked from the Thursday to the following Tuesday. I’m very glad we did. The property is as described and is in a very quiet location on its own plot with plenty of space. The bedrooms were comfortable, the bathrooms and en-suites spacious and well equipped. Best of all there was seating for everyone in the living area (seven of us) - not the case in most other properties in our experience. Board games available for rainy days. Good kitchen but could benefit from a couple of basic oven trays. A very decent property and happy to recommend.
A lovely location and wonderful property. Catered for all we needed. The only flaw we had was that we ran out of hot water and there did not seem to be any instructions as to how to turn them on. We found it in the end and the water was wonderful again. If instructions can be left for future residents then that would be amazing. PS It was a treat to see the resident hedgehog just outside the window towards the pond. The security light illuminated our little friend wonderfully and he was only 2 metres away from us.
Such a beautiful tranquil setting for four siblings and in-laws/partners to spend quality time together. We could not have asked for more during our stay. Emma was welcoming and a pleasure to meet. The care and attention to detail for a comfortable stay was so appreciated. Our family will never forget the happy time we spent together at Southwold Barn in the beautiful Cotswolds.
Remote but easily accessible and was a perfect venue to bring our immediate family together. The facilities and accommodation suited our requirements very well. Good walks available without driving. The traditional village fete held on a warm sunny day was a bonus. Owners very friendly.
Great place for a long weekend to escape the busy city life.
We’re a group of school friends and came away to celebrate all turning 50 in the past year. Emma was so helpful and welcoming, and everything was provided for a really comfortable and enjoyable stay in a beautiful part of the world. We’re already planning a repeat visit.
Wonderful property, well kitted out, in stunning quiet location. Perfect for a group of friends getting together.
Property was well laid out and very well equipped. The garden was lovely, with various places to sit. The hosts were helpful and and friendly. There are lots of places to visit to suit all ages within easy reach. We had a great time.
This place was perfect for our stay and had everything to cater to our needs. Really nice property and area.
Extremely clean.. Good quality furnishings. Very well equipped. Garden was lovely. Would love to come back.
Perfectly appointed house in a stunning Cotswold setting. Our hosts were lovely, generous and easily contacted if we needed anything - in fact went over and above with their help and kindness! The perfect get-away for our ladies weekend away.
Lovely short break with friends…. Host very welcoming … property perfect… thank you
Stunning house & location. Perfect for our reunion weekend. Would highly recommended.
Friendly hosts and a well kept property, with beautiful quiet garden. We were a multi generational family group who loved being able to explore the area and all the local things to do and then being able to return to this relaxing cortage. It felt like a real break and reset for us
We felt as if we were being spied on after receiving a text off the owner on the first evening reminding us of how many people could stay at the property. Because of this we wouldn’t stay there again .
Southwold Barn was perfect for our family of 8 adults to get together. It was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The patio and garden were stunning with a lovely rural outlook. Emma was a wonderful host
The barn is lovely and very well equipped, very peaceful location, we stayed with friends and children ranged from 6-12 years, all had a great time playing outside, and enjoying the many board games provided, made for a really nice stay
Lovely cottage, everything you need and a lovely location very quiet and peaceful. Used one of the recommended personal chefs GReat Food Kitchen, very reasonable and fab food. All in all superb weekend.
Straightforward booking. Emma and Stuart easy to get hold of, no issues
