Weekend away with friends.
Love love loved this barn from the moment we let ourselves in the front door.
Large open space which was wonderful for our group of 8.
Beds all comfortably and great to have 2 en-suites, the family bathroom had the best shower.
Spotless room and beds.
I would recommend this barn and we hope to go back.

Comfortable and spacious, perfect for our family gathering
Ridge Barn was just perfect for our all-adult family gathering to celebrate two birthdays. Easy to find and get into, with plenty of parking. Semi open-plan living space, four spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms (and a separate toilet) made it so easy to live in, we wished we were staying longer. Large well-equipped kitchen, dining table for up to 8 and the longest sofa I have ever seen! Great views out across the countryside and we even used the outdoor seating area very briefly. Would definitely recommend and would return.

We had a fantastic stay. It's a great rural location. Everything worked as it should, lovely underfloor heating, great showers etc (water pressure is good). We had lots of space for visitors too, over the Christmas period.

An amazing cottage
An amazing cottage with everything you could need. We also had friends staying in the Furrow Barn which is also a lovely cottage.
The location is beautiful and very peaceful, with deer roaming in the fields and a fabulous sunset. Perfect for families and friends.

The perfect getaway with friends
Ridge barn is an incredible place. We had the best weekend away. The interior is gorgeous and is set up to maximise social time with the open plan design. Comfy beds, lovely bathrooms and set up with everything you could need. We ran out of bin bags and the host was round quickly with some more. Great location for nice day trips and some lovely countryside walks. 10/10 would recommend.

Great for a family meet up
Ridge barn is spacious & easily accommodates a bigger group of people . Location is fairly rural with nearest town maybe 4/5 miles away. Barn is well equipped for the number of people staying which is appreciated. One thing that could be improved on is dishwasher ….it’s not cleaning too well but easy fix needs salt & rinse aid …
All in all if you’re group it’s a very easy comfortable fit .

A fantastic barn in the Cotswolds
We stayed at Ridge Barn for a wedding weekend as a group of 8 adults and 1 toddler. The barn was perfect for the group as had plenty of space for everyone. The rooms were all very well proportioned and were bigger than the photos show.
The kitchen was well equipped and the barn was very clean.

Beautiful place to stay!
Lovely place to stay with everything we needed :) the barn and grounds are beautiful, as is the surrounding area. Plenty to do! I took my 4 children and dog, they all loved it! It's a stunning place but it's also comfortable for a family without worrying something is going to be destroyed. Very well set out. Thankyou very much!

Great accommodation - great location
Ridge Barn was everything that was described. A huge amount of space for our family gathering. For us the location on the edge of the Cotswolds was ideal; we enjoyed the walks directly from the property during our weekend stay. A lovely property, which has been refurbished to a high standard. Thank you John and Wendy.

Lovely stay
We really enjoyed our stay . The barn was spotless, comfortable and peaceful . All rooms are spacious.
Well located to drive to attractions around the Cotswolds.
My only negative is, I would have liked the garden to be a little more enclosed for my dog. The plant pot barrier instead of the fence ment she could get out which wasn’t ideal.
