Couldn’t fault it. Only moan I would say is the 10am checkout time which is harsh when you’ve been to a wedding the night before

Really great property, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House was equipped with everything needed for our week-long stay. Cleanliness was the only downside - nothing dramatic, but perhaps a quick change over led to a rushed job. Still throughly recommend a stay here - I’ll be back.

The Hayloft - April 2026
Nice property with very good amenities and furnishings. Slightly let down by the prior clean as there were quite a few cobwebs and slight dust in places. Certainly didn’t detract from a good stay, but could be easily changed.

Glorious weekend location
Perfect spot for our sisters weekend. The four of us were very comfortable and delighted with the look, feel and level of attention to detail. This is a fabulous place - easy walk into Winchcombe and great lunch at The Lion Inn; 4 mins drive to Gretton and great lunch at The Royal Oak.

Well appointed house with all the creature comforts
A tastefully furnished house with very well kept grounds. Would have been lovely to have our meals or afternoon tea outside but the weather was too cold. Our stay was very comfortable with plenty of space for the seven of us. The only improvement if I may add is to install a short glass door to the shower screen in the common bathroom to prevent the floor from getting wet every time someone takes a shower.

Wonderful stay
Beautifully restored period building to a modern luxury standard. Comfortable and quiet, clean and spacious enough for two families. Well located near Cheltenham and Winchcombe centres as well as Sudeley Castle on the doorstep. Great communication from Bolthole - hard to think of any negatives - would definitely stay again!

Wonderful stay
An amazing stay with family at this lovely property. It had everything we needed and we particularly enjoyed the beautiful garden and fresh eggs from the chickens.
So peaceful and just a mile or so walk into Winchcombe via country paths.
We would love to come back.

Gorgeous Cotswolds Getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Hayloft. It is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. We cooked several meals; the kitchen was well equipped and definitely a wonderful space to work in. We intended to do some Cotswold Way walking and were so pleased that the trail system was easily accessible nearby. Highly recommend this great property!

Lovely place to stay
The cottage is beautifully presented, a very good size with an open plan living space, perfect for a family gathering. The location is very quiet but close to Winchcombe which has a very good supermarket and shops. The countryside around is beautiful and there are some lovely walks in the area and around Sudely Castle. We will be visiting again. Thank you.

A wonderful family break in beautiful accommodation
What a wonderful place to stay . We were very grateful to receive a message that we could check in early which helped our travel arrangements on boxing day, enabling us to arrive in the daytime.
From the minute we arrived we felt very at home. Super clean accommodation with everything we needed. The private garden was perfect for our dog and loads of parking space made it all feel so easy. The appliances were all fab as was the showers , beds, towels and the super bath, which was just the perfect way to end the day after a long walk in the gorgeous Cotswolds. Winchcombe itself is a very pretty place with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants.
All in all a gem of a place , congratulations to the owners of The Hayloft!

Family trip to Winchcombe
6 of us stayed at the Hayloft with a baby & dog. Perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds. Set in lovely grounds with great private outdoor area. Found great walks on the all trails app from the doorstep. Lovely pubs bakeries and places to eat in Winchcombe and only 30 mins from Cheltenham and Bourton On The Water. Would highly recommend!

Lovely short break in Winchcombe
We really enjoyed our time in the Hayloft. Beautifully presented, with high quality fixtures and fittings. The beds were really comfortable with sumptuous linen and towels. Abundant hot water, lovely showers and bath. My only comment would be that it would have been good to have more than 6 knives plates etc.

Beautiful Kid Friendly Cottage in the Cotwalds
The Hayloft at Bolthole Retreats was such an incredibly lovely property to stay during a friend's wedding in the Cotswalds. It is kept up very nicely with clearly updated amenities. This particular cottage would be perfect for a family with young children as it even has a great yard space with a play structure! The entire property was absolutely stunning and just a short walk into town. I highly recommend it!

A great secret getaway
From the second you walk in ,
to the moment you leave you feel as if you are totally and utterly immersed in a beautiful building that exudes history , but is as modern as it could be without going over the top , and it’s the little details that count - cocktail maker kit!!! Wow!!!
We could not fault the cleanliness, the super quality of the bedding / towels and the welcome bottle of fizz was a great touch !!!!
