Incredible base for the Cotswolds

We had a wonderfully comfortable long weekend stay with our young baby, toddler and Ridgeback puppy. The village and surrounds are beautiful. We loved the countryside walks, idyllic pubs and private garden. I wouldn't hesitate to come back again as a perfect base for enjoying the Cotswolds.

The Granary

Stayed here for 4 nights and from the beginning of walking through the door I fell in love. Such a welcoming homely wee stay and such a wonderful peaceful place to be. The garden was gorgeous as was all of the property. Just wish it was cold so I could try out the wooden fire but I shall come again without hesitation. The only downside is if you want to visit more of the south cotswolds then be prepared to drive a bit but the scenery is just to die for so wasn’t an issue for myself. I would give this place 5 stars

Fabulous Holiday Accommodation

Highly recommend. I am reluctant not to be able to give full house review because this is a fabulous holiday home with so much thought and attention having gone into It’s presentation. My only comfort markdown five to four is the twin beds feel like child’s beds whereas the double is extremely comfortable. The home is well catered with everything required to provide a home-from-home experience. Location: I know the village well, having been many times to visit family. There’s a great friendly pub for dining and locals drinking. Central with easy access around the region. Lack of light pollution makes for an amazing dark star studded sky. Accessibility: not suitable for anyone challenged by stairs.

Fabulous bolthole for a weekend away

What a fabulous place for a weekend away. The property had everything we needed and the owner had added some lovely small touches such as a vase of daffodils and bowl of fruit. The pint of milk in the fridge was very much appreciated as well. The beds were especially comfortable and we slept very well.

Fantastic stay in a gorgeous cozy apartment

Stayed for 4 nights between Christmas and New Year and the apartment was the perfect place to stay. So cosy yet spacious (plenty of room for a family of 4 and a dog!) Very well equipped with everything you need. Lovely location in a quiet scenic village and village pub across the Green serving great food. Visited Broadway and Bourton on the Water, all within approx 30 mins drive. Highly recommend and would love to stay again!

Perfect for a relaxing get away.

The apartment was beautiful, clean and comfortable in a lovely peaceful village. Everything we needed was included and more. Having the log burner was amazing for our January stay and made a perfect cosy night in after exploring the stunning area all day. Have to mention the nice big towels! Always a bonus. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return. Thank you

5 day stay at Oriel Farm

First time visiting the Cotswolds, Shenington is a lovely quiet little village with lovely walks for the dog and a village pub. Great central area to visit the Cotswolds. Our accommodation was everything we wanted, comfortable, clean, great little kitchen with everything you need to cook which we used during our stay. A private outside garden to sit in on a warm evening. We will definitely be returning to The Granary.

Relaxing and warm get away

Overall this is a lovely property in a great location. We wanted a quiet stay in a warm and inviting property and this certainly fulfilled the brief! We loved the log fire. If we had gone at a later date I’m sure we would have appreciated the large garden. A few small touches would make it more welcoming eg there was little or no hand soap in the bathroom but such small things didn’t spoil our stay.

Highly Recommend!

I had an amazing week's stay at this beautiful property with a friend. We wanted a place where we could relax, cook nice food, and go round the lovely Cotswold towns and villages. The Granary was the perfect place for this. Our stay was extremely comfortable, and the property itself is as great if not better than in the pictures advertised. It is really well located for going around the Cotswolds, with Burton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Broadway all within 30-40 minute drives. We also very much enjoyed the local pub (The Bell) and the gliding club (a 15 minute walk down the road) which has a fantastic outdoor bar (great for summer). The wifi at the property was also great! I would highly recommend this property!

Really cosy, much bigger than it looks, gorgeous walks right for the door

We'd definitely come back. A great apartment in a beautiful barn. Really quiet location in a pretty village with gorgeous walks straight from the door - we only took the car out twice. The apartment is very cosy and warm, beds are very comfortable with lovely linen. Everything has been very well thought through. Village farm shop and a village store nearby great for provisions. Dog towels a generous bonus! Thank you!

Comfortable and cozy

Honestly, wished we had more time to explore the surrounding areas as the walking trailslook so good!The property is generally well equipped (for humans and dogs!), and is perfect for a cold evening - especially the log burner. The garden is spacious if you have a dog so do bring a ball for fetch. The single beds are comfortable enough but the mattress keeps tipping us off haha Can’t fault it really. Would recommend a bigger sign for the property though but Janet was very helpful in helping us find the cottage. :) I’d say definitely arrive before dark when you first check in otherwise it may be challenging. Definitely a good area to stay in for Cotswold visits.

Peaceful and private with room for improvement

Oriel Barn provided quite comfortable and open plan accommodation in a very peaceful village setting. It was well furnished apart from the sofa, which had seen better days and needed replacing. The kitchen was was adequately equipped for self catering. There were odd items missing however, such as a baking tray for the oven and no kitchen foil, plus no black pepper in the pepper grinder, which are basic essentials. There was a large garden which was private and sunny, although a work in progress. Overall we thought it was a very pleasant place to spend a week. It was a convenient location for exploring the Cotswolds and Oxfordshire.
