This is a hidden gem. Tucked away and oh so quiet. Lots of natural light throughout. Our host Anne was gracious, helpful, and even baked fresh muffins and cookies for us. The pub around the corner has some of the best food I have ever eaten!

We had a nice stay overall at Little Barnfield. Though I wouldn’t call it private, as you do share the outside property and interact with the host, (who was pleasant) it was a really quiet and peaceful area with an above-average pub that we dined at a couple of times which you can walk to. Anne, the host, was quick to address any questions or issues, as well as letting us use the washer in the main home as stated in the listing. Great proximity to several Cotswold villages and Sudeley Castle. The cottage had most of the essentials we needed. The shower-head not being mounted anywhere is a bit awkward for a tall person to maneuver — (so no relaxing showers here!) A comfortable bed and full kitchen were the biggest pros. Keeping those factors in mind, I would recommend this stay!
