17th century converted barn in Cotswolds stone- 5 mins from Bourton On The Water

This dog friendly property is a recently converted mid 17th century grain barn that sleeps up to 6. It has two double rooms but has a delightful shepherds hut that provides a further bed and facilities . The Barn has many of the original beams and features and is in a quiet village very near to all the amenities of the famous town of Bourton On The Water. The Barn has all the facilities you need - wifi, tvs in each room, a well equiped kitchen, bbq, hairdryers, car charger and a log burner to cosy in on colder evenings . Have a little stroll around our garden and help yourself to the apples from our small but beautiful orchard. Whilst Clapton On The Hill is in a small hamlet providing you with peace and quiet, it is only minutes away from ‘the venice of the Cotswolds’ and a short drive to other popular towns such as Burford and Stow. There are plenty of beautiful country pubs to try in the surrounding villages.

Stunning property
A girlfriend and I wanted a few days R and R. This stunning property and location fitted the bill. The beds were so comfortable! Felt cocooned for a few days. Just what we needed. Would recommend the property to anyone wanted to get away from it all. Only downside was the check in process as it was dark by 4pm. We struggled to find the property despite good directions and then found we could not see very well to open the key box.

Beautiful Cotswolds Barn Stay

Absolutely wonderful
I stayed here with a friend for 4 nights - we were exploring the Cotswold's area. The Barn is a delightful place to stay and much impressed my American visitor. It is exquisitely furnished with many lovely touches and is clean as clean can be. The host was responsive and access was easy. The heating worked and the beds were so comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here. It is a small quiet village, but easy access (by car) to all Cotswold towns and villages. A gift for walkers - access to many paths from the house. Thank you Janey for sharing this wonderful property.

A short, two night, break at The Barn was very homely and relaxing. The weather didn’t behave but that didn’t dampen a lovely and welcoming stay. The host was first class with communication which is always a bonus. Highly recommend this property.

It was literally a privilege to stay here. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Comfortable, homey, had everything you could possibly want, attention to detail was extraordinary, comfortable rooms and beds, spacious, immaculate kitchens living area, beautifully manicured lawns and orchard. Honestly, the photos don’t do this property justice. We will absolutely book here again. Lovely 40 min walk through fields into bourton on the water, an easy car ride to visit nearby villages and restaurants. Only hiccup was finding the property once we reached the intersection coming in a different way, but was simple enough given how small the village center is :). Incredibly relaxing stay, we are filled with gratitude.

Perfect Cotswolds stay
The Barn is nestled in a quiet Cotswold community away from the more tourist-heavy towns. All the amenities are present. The property is beautifully furnished, comfortable, and allows for off-street parking behind a gate. We would definitely choose the Barn should we again decide to visit the Cotswolds area. There are plenty of places to explore off the main roads, (which we felt were too narrow for the allowed speed of 60 MPH, so we kept to about 30 when driving the area, as people are walking dogs and wildlife is often present). While exploring, we found the view of neighboring farms to be spectacular, and bought fresh eggs and honey from roadside stands. It's about a 10 minute drive from the Barn to larger communities for dinner, shopping, etc. A truly perfect place!!

Gorgeous place to stay when in the Cotswolds
Janey’s place is a gorgeous place to stay, a stunning area of the Cotswolds and ideal for groups that have their own transport. Lovely garden area to sit and enjoy the long warm evenings with a glass of wine. Bedrooms were nice and spacious and the Orchard End snug was really cosy and spacious enough for two. Surrounding area is beautiful however you need transport to get anywhere as there isn’t anything to do in Clapton-on-the-Hill. Burton on the Water is a short drive away, should you prefer a taxi a people carrier for 6 people will cost you £35 - £40 per journey. Walking into Burton on the Water will take you approx. 45 mins across the fields, it is a really enjoyable walk. We felt relaxed as soon as we arrived and had a great weekend. Janey is a superb host and responds to any queries promptly. We would highly recommend Janey’s place for a visit to the Cotswolds.

We were so pleased to settle in this gorgeous home for our four day stay. Everything we needed was provided. The beds were the most comfortable we had slept in during our five week UK trip. The house was impeccably clean and spacious. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a stay in the Cotswold.

Kitchen is a good size with everything you need and a big refrigerator / freezer. Good size 2 double bedrooms and the 3rd double bedroom in the shepherds hut is unique and was comfortable and warm even in a huge thunder storm. Good off road parking. Really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful countryside getaway
My family and I were looking for a quiet, quaint place to stay in the Cotswolds and this ticked every box for us. The property was like a setting out of a movie. The house was perfect, well laid out and well kept. Every appliance you may need (including a clothes washer, no dryer though) was included. It can’t really stress how cool this house was and how beautiful the grounds are. My oldest son slept in the “shepherds hut” and loved it. The small village didn’t have any restaurants or pubs but that leant to the quiet and peacefulness of the setting. There are walking paths nearby and you can get to Bourton on the water (you have to spend some time here), Stow on the Wild, Upper and Lower Slaughter (Lower Slaughter almost doesn’t seem real) and easily. It really was a perfect location for us to explore. We didn’t spend much time at the house because we were out exploring but it f we ever get the chance we will definitely be back. Can’t say enough about this place. Don’t hesitate, just book it today!!

A Perfect Cotswold Experience
This is the picture postcard Cotswold experience. Staying in a rustic converted barn, with a cottage style garden, overlooking the rolling hills and fields. We had the best time in a beautifully kept property. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Rooms are spacious and modern. Technology is great and you have everything you need for the perfect experience.

A Potentially Ideal Place but Very Disappointing.
We enjoyed our week long stay at The Barn and the surrounding areas but wish we hadn't encountered the issues in this review. Property photos were accurate but the spacious living room, which was a surprise should have been included. The decor was pleasant but very well worn. The couches could certainly use a deep cleaning. The throw pillows & blanket were rather shabby. We arrived with groceries, so went to the kitchen to store everything. Shockingly, the fridge was in a foul state, which took an hour to clean. The odor was not eradicated, just reduced but we had to use it. An unpleasant arrival sitution, especially after traveling all night. The beds were listed as king-sized but were queens in both bedrooms. A duvet cover had some holes, which must have been noticed by whomever made up the bed. Some bulky pillows were substituted while there. Other linens were okay. Description stated: Washer and Dryer on property. The washer's dispenser was disgustingly black & mouldy. We cleaned it, then found it wasn't working. A button was receding into the panel. Appallingly maintained. NO automatic dryer, only a broken/useless electric drying rack. We used the laundry service in town. Very inconvenient! All was reported to the owner. The response was odd "We are a Premier Host with 100% 5 star rating". We were told to call a mechanic to repair things while we were out. Guests should not have to deal with this! We chose The Barn for its description but it was misrepresented.

Perfect spot for a relaxing vacation
This home is located in the perfect spot to explore the Cotswolds area. The accommodations, Clapton and nearby villages were all straight out of a storybook. My wife and I had a wonderful time with our four teenage daughters exploring Clapton-on-the-Hill and nearby communities. Our only regret was not extending our stay for a few more days... Janey was a very responsive and helpful host and the property had everything needed for a very comfortable stay. We will definitely return if we are able to make the trip back across the pond in the future!!
