About the host
Hosted by Caroline McShane
We’re a friendly couple who have loved living in this beautiful Cotswolds barn for the past 20 years. We enjoy sharing our home with visitors and helping them make the most of the village, countryside, and everything the area has to offer.
We’re always on hand if you need us, and our fantastic housekeeper lives nearby to make sure everything is ready for your stay. While we love living here, we also enjoy traveling to our holiday home in Cornwall, so we know what it’s like to want a relaxing, hassle-free getaway. We manage the property ourselves, so you can be sure your stay is looked after with care and attention.
Why they chose this property
We love living in this part of the Cotswolds - it’s peaceful, beautiful, and full of charm. Our barn is just a short stroll from a couple of great local pubs, making it easy to enjoy village life while still being surrounded by stunning countryside.
Our home combines comfort with eco-friendly living. We have fibre 2 internet with 60 Mbps Wi‑Fi everywhere, including by the pool and outdoor seating, so you can stay connected while relaxing outside. Solar panels provide electricity, and a biomass boiler keeps the house warm and cozy.
We want your stay to be simple and enjoyable. Our amazing housekeeper keeps everything spotless, and we provide a clear, easy-to-use manual with plenty of local tips. You’ll be welcomed with a small treat pack on arrival, and there’s secure parking for several cars.
If you’d like, the heated pool is ready for you to enjoy - perfect for a refreshing swim or relaxing in the sun.
What makes this property unique
Our barn is a bright, spacious, and modern country home with plenty of personality. It’s packed with features that make it feel both luxurious and welcoming, from high-quality furnishings and tech to comfy luxury beds.
One of the quirky highlights is our historic water well - safely covered, but a fun glimpse into the barn’s history. Above the garage, you’ll find a huge games room that doubles as a third lounge, with a football table, office space, and plenty of comfy seating - perfect for family fun, hanging out with friends, or working remotely.
We make it easy to feel at home, with all kitchen and bathroom essentials provided, plus logs for the fire, BBQ gas, and produce from our market garden for guests to enjoy.
Sustainability is part of the design, with solar panels and a high-tech biomass boiler supplying heating, hot water, and electricity. That means you get all the comforts of a modern home while keeping things eco-friendly.
