  I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Lower Farm Barn, and I must say it was a remarkable experience.

  From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning outdoor space, spacious rooms, and impeccable selection of furniture, fittings, and design. This place truly exceeded our expectations in every way. We even received a little welcome basket with all the essentials that we needed for the first few days - it was a lovely touch. First and foremost, the outdoor space surrounding the Barn Farm Conversion were nothing short of breathtaking. Lush greenery and well-maintained pathways created a serene and picturesque setting. Our kids and dogs enjoyed the space. The spacious rooms in the converted barn were a delightful surprise. Each room was thoughtfully designed, with plenty of space to accommodate families and their furry friends. The interiors were tastefully decorated, seamlessly blending modern comfort with the rustic charm of the countryside. The attention to detail in the design was evident, with carefully chosen colors, textures, and furnishings that created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Every aspect of the barn conversion was carefully considered, and it showed. The furniture was not only aesthetically pleasing but also exceptionally comfortable. The fittings and fixtures were of high quality and perfectly complemented the overall design of the space. It was evident that great care had been taken to create a harmonious and stylish environment. As a family traveling with kids and dogs, Lower Farm Barn was an absolute haven. The property was well-suited for families, providing ample space for children to play and explore. The open layout and well-planned design allowed for easy movement, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. The added bonus of being able to bring our four-legged companions along made our stay truly memorable. Furthermore, everything was in great shape. The property was meticulously maintained, and every detail was taken care of. From the spotless cleanliness to the excellent upkeep of amenities, we felt like we were staying in a five-star hotel. It was evident that the owners took great pride in their property and made every effort to ensure a top-notch experience for their guests. The level of care and thought put into every aspect of the property was truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend this charming farm conversion to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable countryside getaway.

  The sofas in the lounge were uncomfortable.

  Instructions on how to use the belling Stove in the Kitchen would have been extremely useful, We found the cottage very well equipped, There were marks on the walls which could have been easily cleaned off and the hall floor could have been cleaner. The bedding and beds were very comfy and although it is a large cottage, the heating was easy to use and we found it very cosy. Outside the tables and chairs were covered in sticky red berries, so despite the weather being good we were unable to sit out, maybe covers would be an idea. We found that the berries were sticking to our shoes and as such were being carried into the Cottage which was awkward for us all. It says in the blurb that there is parking for one car, but anything bigger than a very small car would be impossible to fit into the drive. The gates on the drive need adjusting and maybe some W D forty on it. It would also have been good if there was somewhere to sit in the bedrooms to apply makeup and attend to your hair, even if it was a small shelf and you could sit on the bed, would be better than none at all.

  The property was very lovely and well maintained.

  It was spotlessly cleaned too, even down to the kitchen drawers and storage. Great communal space for a big group, there was 8 of us and a dog. Kitchen was well equipped and good sized fridge, freezer and cooker. A couple of very minor points only for feedback not to criticise. The bedroom off the living area was lovely but needed a mirror somewhere in the bedroom. it was virtually impossible to dry hair and use the bathroom mirror and if someone was using the bathroom at the same time. A loose toilet seat in the shared bathroom. Also check in time being 6pm is very late indeed. We were kindly emailed to say we could check in earlier at 1pm but the Journey took over 4 hours so it was too late to get there much earlier as we had already scheduled our leaving time, therefore the email was too late for us to set off earlier. We were also aware of the check in time when we booked, but still considered it late. We did get there a little earlier and we were able to access the property, which we were grateful for. I would still highly recommend the property and the process

  A beautiful conversion of two cottages into one of a very high standard, spotlessly clean and well appointed.

  Six of us stayed in Easter Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed the facilities. Absolutely up to the standard we have come to expect from Sykes. We had some meals in several well known and guide recommended hostelries but the best meal and ambience was in walking distance at the "local" ~ The Rose & Crown. A couple of housekeeping matters ~ there would appear to be a wasps nest in the roof because a few "dozy" wasps fell into the end bedroom to the left going up the stairs. A few more coat hangers in the master bedroom would be appreciated and we couldn't find any black bags for the bedlinen. I think the woodshed must have ended up on the fire because we couldn't find it or any logs ! None of these minor matters detracted from our enjoyment of Easter Cottage.

  Lovely cottage, all rooms were well appointed and comfortable.

  We were a party of 8 and there was plenty of room for us all including the dog. 6 of us in the main building and 2 in the annexe which has its own fridge (which was most needed as a beer/drinks fridge as the kitchen fridge wasn’t big enough). I particularly liked the log burner on what was a cold and damp weekend. Also a nice touch was the welcome pack of essentials. A typical Cotswold setting with a very nice village pub where we had a lovely meal. The only (small) gripes were that upon arrival there were a a few dead insects which I thought should have been vacuumed up and no kitchen scales (I know a bit pathetic but I’m a keen cook and my sticky toffee pudding was a disaster). All in all a great weekend.
