Small and Cosy

A wonderful old barn in a very quiet Cotswold hamlet...with a beautiful garden ..the odd horse passing occasionally and very little traffic. Well appointed property with all mod cons including hi speed wi fi. Would say its really a couples place first and foremost.

So nice that we returned for a second stay!

We had such a nice time staying here last year that we decided to return for a second stay. Since last year our splendid host Charles has invested in new sofas and new floor in the bath room with additional upgrades to follow. That said, the cottage is so nice as it is with tasteful interior, an incredibly scenic location with several walks and a only short drive to many gardens and National Trust sites. We’ll very likely be back again. Thanks Charles!

Typisch Cotswold

Smaakvol ingerichte verbouwde schuur met vriendelijke verhuurder. Mooie tuin. Helemaal compleet. De bedden zijn op zijn Engels smal. Fantastisch koffieapparaat aanwezig. Doordat de accommodatie donker is en vochtig kan zijn, kan het voorkomen dat je wat pissebedden als medebewoners krijgt. Je auto parkeer je onbewaakt 100 meter verder maar met in en uit laden is de oprit beschikbaar. Goed geregeld. Leuke omgeving.

Sfeervolle barnconversion op een prachtige locatie

Een sfeervol en met oog voor details ingericht vakantiehuisje. De eigenaar is bijzonder gastvrij en weet veel over de omgeving te vertellen. Vraag hem zeker naar tips voor leuke uitjes. Het huisje is voldoende uitgerust om er een week te kunnen verblijven. De bedden waren voor ons te smal, maar wellicht dat andere gasten daar geen problemen mee hebben. Kortom, een absolute aanrader.

LONG BARN

A lovely small but perfectly formed barn in the Cotswolds. I must admit that the height of the front door was a shock for a tall guy, however the sitting room & bedrooms more than made up for it. The location in a small idyllic hamlet near Cirencester was excellent, & as both myself & my son are sports nuts Sky Sport was a real bonus. Charles was a gracious host, although a small guided tour would have been appreciated.

Self Catering at Duntisbourne Abbots

Overall we will have had a very relaxing week at the Long Barn. Beds were very comfortable with good quality linen. I won’t comment on the facilities that are missing as I knew this to be the case on booking. However I do think room is available for a fridge freezer if some unneeded furniture was removed. Our host Charles is very pleasant and accommodating. I think due to it being the end of the Summer season the property is due for a deep clean but this did not detract from our enjoyment of the Long Barn.

Beautiful barn

We had a fantastic stay at the long barn last week. The host, Charles, was full of useful information about the surrounding areas and the walks that could be taken and the places we could visit. There were several maps and instructions in the barn which could be used if Charles was not around. The barn was absolutely stunning and was lovely and clean. We had everything we needed and the quiet was absolute bliss! Thank you Charles for a fantastic stay, we all really enjoyed ourselves

A perfect trip to the countryside

Had a perfect stay in this delightful, tastefully decorated barn that felt like home for the week. We came with our two children aged 7 and 9 and it was perfect for them and the spiral staircase was no problem - outside they enjoyed playing games in the large garden and we enjoyed using the BBQ on two nights. Charles was a very friendly and helpful host who had many tips on the local area to share. The barn is situated in a very quiet and beautiful village; you really can unwind here although if you choose to go out and be active there is loads nearby like Cirencester, local lakes for swimming and waterparks and gorgeous Cotswolds towns. Would highly recommend and we hope to return again!

Walking, Touring, Visiting Family

This was an ideal base for our 'expedition' - walking part of the Cotswold Way, exploring places in the locality and visiting family in the area. It was a quiet and secluded property but with easy access to the places we wanted to visit. It was equipped with all that we needed and Charles was a hospitable and amenable host. We would happily recommend it to all adults.

A Blissful Retreat

I had such a wonderful stay in this beautiful converted barn. Charles is a superb host. The location is a blissful retreat in a picturesque cotswold village. There are many countryside walks from the doorstep. If you're looking for peace, beauty, and nature, this is the place for you! There are more horses and pheasants walking past the barn than cars! You won't regret staying here.

Peaceful retreat

We stayed for a week in the Long Barn hoping for a relaxing break in the glorious Cotswold countryside and we weren't disappointed. Staying in the Barn was a lovely experience with all the comforts of home. The Barn was very well equipped, including a good lounge area with large TV, everything you would need in the kitchen and charming bedrooms. The garden was a lovely spot to enjoy the evening sunshine. The location, in a very quiet and picturesque village, is a great base for visiting all the main places of interest in that part of the country. We were made to feel very welcome by our host, who made a point of ensuring we had everything we needed. We would have no hesitation in returning to the Long Barn.

Ons verblijf in "The Long Barn".

Wij hebben een prachtige week gehad in Duntisbourne Abbots en omgeving. Erg mooi verbouwde schuur en van alle gemakken voorzien. Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaar die direct reageert op berichten van ons. Wij hebben een zware periode achter de rug met chemotherapie en andere medische behandelingen en hadden even wat tijd nodig om bij te komen. De Long Barn en de omgeving waren hier zeer geschikt voor. En ook het weer was nog goed. We hebben erg genoten. Groeten Theo en Lenie

About the host

Hosted by Charles

Host profile image

I spent 4 years restoring it to the current condition. We have been amazed how well it has rented... 21 weeks last year and are pleasantly surprised by the positive comments and feedback to date. I think you will like it.

Why they chose this property

I bought Pound Cottage and The Long Barn in 1987 when my mother said it was the prettiest Cotswold Cottage and set of outbuildings she had even seen in one of the prettiest and quietest of hamlets of the Cotswold's. Well what could I do ..mother had spoken !

What makes this property unique

The Long Barn is situated near our house Pound Cottage in the quiet hamlet of Duntisbourne Abbots and really the very local area is simply stunning and very quiet despite the odd car or tractor. You can walk the local villages or hamlets and for the more adventurous there are well sign posted walks along rural footpaths.We use the Long Barn for our weekend guests occasionally and they all seem to relax in it and the lower garden and rarely want to leave.
