17th century converted barn in Cotswolds stone- 5 mins from Bourton On The Water

This dog friendly property is a recently converted mid 17th century grain barn that sleeps up to 6. It has two double rooms but has a delightful shepherds hut that provides a further bed and facilities . The Barn has many of the original beams and features and is in a quiet village very near to all the amenities of the famous town of Bourton On The Water. The Barn has all the facilities you need - wifi, tvs in each room, a well equiped kitchen, bbq, hairdryers, car charger and a log burner to cosy in on colder evenings . Have a little stroll around our garden and help yourself to the apples from our small but beautiful orchard. Whilst Clapton On The Hill is in a small hamlet providing you with peace and quiet, it is only minutes away from ‘the venice of the Cotswolds’ and a short drive to other popular towns such as Burford and Stow. There are plenty of beautiful country pubs to try in the surrounding villages.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

A slice of heaven in the Cotswold

POSITIVES*Superb outlying location with easy access to main roads*Great atmosphere inside, tastefully decorated, love the wood beams everywhere with the white walls, feels light and airy *Good square footage with feeling of space to work/relax*Beautiful garden to enjoy *Good communication with owner and process to book*2.5 baths, up to date, workable, stocked kitchen, good size bedrooms that are comfortable*So quiet in area, sleep with windows open and lots of fresh air *excellent working wash machine with quick load capability*car can be parked with gate closed *alarm system SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS*amenities list a 'dryer' with symbol, however, not there, instead an electric drying rack, that cannot stand on its own. Must be tied to the chairs and manipulated to stay upright. *refridgerator desperately needs defrosting. The lower level is full of ice, starting to show in main part also. Decreases full function of fridge temperature. A frost free would be a better investment for a rental. *king beds are listed for 2 bedrooms. They are queen, at least for US specs. Overall this beautiful, 17th century modernized old barn conversion makes you feel you are truly living in the Cotswold. Wonderful views from upstairs and easy walks right out the door to the countryside. Everything is right at your fingertips with car. HIGHLY RECOMMEND A SECOND STAY if back in the Cotswold.

Janey’s home is exceptional. She was very quick to respond to questions and made every effort to address our needs. We loved having modern amenities with all the charm of this converted barn in a small village. The property includes a small apple orchard, lovely garden and patio with table and chairs. My 19 year old son loved the privacy he got in the shepherd’s hut located next to the main house-(double bed with a sink/ toilet separated from the bedroom area by a curtain). The location was an ideal for exploring the Cotswolds. The New Inn in neighboring Coln St. Aldwyns was an outstanding find for delicious, creative food and friendly staff. We spent 5 days and easily could have spent more time.

A paradise in the Cotswolds

The Clapton-on-the-Hill Barn is fantastic. We stayed for three days at the beginning of June, while on holiday from New Zealand. Our London-based son, daughter-in-law, baby, and their whippet stayed with us in the main house, and on one night, friends from Bristol stayed in the Shepherds Hut. The property is beautifully furnished, both indoors and outdoors, and a full kitchen is equipped with plenty of kitchenware. The appliances are top rate. The beds are super comfortable with generous bathrooms. The garden was in full bloom.The location is top rate. We toured around many of the popular Cotswolds villages, but Clapton on the Hill is a secret to most tourists, so we really enjoyed the serenity of our location. If you do need to stock up with food etc, Burton on the Water is very close by. We really enjoyed walking around the hamlet – especially the gorgeous church and churchyard. There is a little contemplation green space adjacent to the churchyard, where we all sat late one afternoon in the sun, enjoying conversation and agreeing that the barn was a most excellent accommodation choice. Janey the host, is welcoming and responsive. Although we did not meet Janey in person, we talked via text.If you have a toddler, the circular staircase in the centre of the house will be a major fun attraction, as we found out, but it just means a bit more watching out. Without a doubt, we totally recommend this property.

Overall a lovely stay

The cottage is warm and comfortable and its proximity to Bourton a definite plus. The only reason I put good instead of excellent is because the beds are not king sized as listed (as far as an American king - perhaps UK sizing is different) and although a dryer is listed as an amenity, there is only a washer w/ drying line

Christmas Bliss

Escaped the crazy, and embraced peace. The Barn is a perfect place to unwind. Clean, spacious, with a well equipped kitchen and comfy beds. Located in a quiet cul de sac in a small hamlet miles from the noise; and yet within a short drive to good pubs and country shops. This is an our second Christmas at The Barn. It’s a gem.

Stunning property

A girlfriend and I wanted a few days R and R. This stunning property and location fitted the bill. The beds were so comfortable! Felt cocooned for a few days. Just what we needed. Would recommend the property to anyone wanted to get away from it all. Only downside was the check in process as it was dark by 4pm. We struggled to find the property despite good directions and then found we could not see very well to open the key box.

Absolutely wonderful

I stayed here with a friend for 4 nights - we were exploring the Cotswold's area. The Barn is a delightful place to stay and much impressed my American visitor. It is exquisitely furnished with many lovely touches and is clean as clean can be. The host was responsive and access was easy. The heating worked and the beds were so comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here. It is a small quiet village, but easy access (by car) to all Cotswold towns and villages. A gift for walkers - access to many paths from the house. Thank you Janey for sharing this wonderful property.
