We recently stayed at this beautiful barn with friends and had the most wonderful time. The space was warm, welcoming, and full of character, while still being incredibly comfortable and well-equipped, plenty of room for everyone to gather together
Everything was thoughtfully prepared, clean, and well maintained. We would absolutely recommend this barn.

Fabulous barn
Great location for a family birthday, dogs welcome but would have appreciated a gate to the patio for security - as there wasn’t one, we had to keep the doors closed which made the barn a little airless.

Family Reunion at Great Tew
We had not been all together for some time and it was fabulous to stay together at Walnut Barn for 4 nights. The accomodation could not be improved. The setting was wonderful and we had our 1 year old Labrador with us who also had the greatest of times.

Stayed with whole family so glad to have somewhere that could accommodate us all.
Unfortunately we did not receive email until we had left which was a shame as we did not need to take tea towels etc.

Great comfortable and clean barn stay
Loved Walnut Barn. Beautiful country setting. Beds, linen, towels of excellent quality and kitchen was well equipped. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub! The football and tennis courts were ideal as we had 2 children with us. Couldn’t use balls though as they needed inflating.
Had Sunday dinner at The duck in the Pond which was excellent.
Negatives- key code info only provided 2 hours before our arrival.
Also request for late checkout not possible due to ‘ cleaning schedule’ A pity.

Quality in the countryside.
The location is excellent and the security gate easy to find.
The accommation downstairs was of a high quality, spotlessly clean and all furnishings and objects well selected, I loved the alcove piggy!
The kitchen has everything you would need with plenty of glasses, cutlery and crockery.
The upstairs again well stocked with good quality towels etc. The beds and bedding extremely comfortable, mirror and hairdryer in wardrobes.
The outside was well planned with plenty of space for relaxing, especially in the hot tub! The estate has a laundry room so no tripping wet swim suits!
We definitely came up trumps with the Walnut Barn.
Well worth

Awesome Holiday barn
This was by far the best holiday rental we have stayed in. The barn was immaculate and so well equipped, they really had thought of everything. Everything was top notch, no expense spared and all the little details didn't go unnoticed. Would love to return in the summer to make used of the outside space. The process was smooth and easy and would highly recommend.
