Pudding Hill Barn Cottage

Lovely stay at Pudding Hill Barn Cottage .

Very comfortable and in a fabulous location . Owners Marcus and Karen were great and incredibly helpful ! Looking forward to our next stay in October , Shelley , Carl and Lenny

Karen and Marcus were so welcoming.

Karen showed us around and introduced us to the dogs and her horse - much to my delight. They had thought of everything from the welcome gifts to the emergency cupboard (in case we had forgotten anything). We arrived during a very hot week which meant less visits out and about than we had hoped (parents being less mobile), but we enjoyed the peace and quiet of this little piece of the Cotswolds. A lovely stroll down to the Catherine Wheel for dinner or into the village for a leisurely walk in the evenings (when all the coaches have left). We were able to visit The Farmers Dog, Coln with its pretty river, Cirencester, Bourton on the Water and we definitely recommend the Frogmill for Sunday lunch which has lovely outside seating - a little drive away but worth it. All in all a lovely week away. Thank you so much Karen, Marcus, Bella, Poppy, Ted and the very gorgeous Seamus the horse who stole my heart.

Superb cottage in beautiful location.

Easy walking distance into Bibury. The owners went above and beyond and were very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended as a base in the Cotswolds.

My husband, daughter and pup had the best time at Pudding Hill Barn Cottage.

Karen and Marcus were amazing hosts, so considerate and thoughtful. They recommended places to go and eat, (the Stump has the best pizzas I have ever had!) they were so welcoming and the cottage was so lovely. They had a rocking horse which my daughter adored! We saw their chickens and ducks and went to the Trout House on several occasions to enjoy the view. The location of the cottage is amazing. It's very busy in Bibury but having our cottage a 5 mins walk from the village was super. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. Ps the beds are AMAZING - so comfortable!

A fantastic two bedroomed cottage in a lovely area.

Cottage is so well equipped and furnished. Owners greeted us and kindly had welcome pack with fresh local produce for us.Plenty of great walks in area and local pubs. Took our Labrador and great exercise field adjoining cottage . Can’t speak highly enough, certainly recommend

We have had a wonderful relaxing holiday its an idyllic location, our dog enjoyed her walks every day and also playing with Poppy, Ted and Bella.

The village of Bibury, including the trout farm are a very short walk from the cottage and we had several delicious meals at the Catherine Wheel which was also a short walk away. Karen and Marcus were excellent hosts, nothing was too much trouble, we hope to return sometime in the future.

Bibury has a reputation for being a busy village with coaches visiting Arlington Row, but Pudding Hill Barn Cottage provides an oasis of peace and quiet tucked away from the crowds.

Surrounded by fields and on the footpath to Ablington, the cottage offers a fantastic spot to enjoy the local wildlife, explore on foot or sit and relax in the Trout House watching the birds over the river. Our Cocker Spaniel had the time of her life running and playing in the gated and safe field next door. The cottage is clean, tidy, very well decorated and comfortable with everything you could possibly need and is the perfect cosy base for exploring the central Cotswolds and beyond. Karen and Marcus are fantastic hosts who made us feel so welcome and for who nothing was too much trouble. From the home grown and made apple jam, sourdough, free range eggs, local beer, fresh fruit and chilled prosecco that was set out for us on arrival to travel tips, walking guides and restaurant recommendations they really did take such good care of us. It was a pleasure to meet such lovely people and at the end of the holiday we were sad to leave but refreshed and restored by our stay in this special place.

We would truely recommend this stay to all family & freinds.

Felt very welcome from the start & we weally enjoyed our time there and got very lucky with he weather.

The hosts Kate and Marcus were superb made us feel so welcome and friendly which got the holiday off to a great start.

The welcome pack included bowl of fruit fresh bread, home made jam, eggs and wine and beer. The cottage is beautiful and cosy and well equipped giving the homely feeling. We were sad to leave wished we had booked for a second week we will definitely be back in the future. Many thanks to Kate and Marcus

Lovely week in this cosy and very comfortable cottage.

Perfect place to stay, a short walk from the beautiful village of Bibury and easy access to explore the Cotswolds. Hosts could not have been more helpful and friendly. Our dog loved it too!

We had a wonderful time at Pudding Hill and the awful weather only made us feel more cosy!

The cottage is very comfortable and fully equipped for a long weekend stay. The pub is an easy stroll away and the owners (Karen and Marcus) made us all feel very welcome!

Excellent cottage for a short stay in October.

Very well equipped cottage and lovely walks from the door step. Very helpful owners on site.

What a fantastic cottage.

Everything was so comfortable & beautifully presented. Myself & my elderly parents were made to feel so at home, lovely homemade goodies were left for us to enjoy & mum even had a cake baked for her by the owner for her birthday. We left feeling like family & our dog was so welcomed too! Thankyou so much for a lovely stay. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to others to stay here it truly is a special place run by a lovely couple.

Great cottage, beautiful setting and owners are lovely

We stayed at Pudding Hill Barn Cottage for a week in August 2023 as a family of four (two adults, a 7 year old and 2 year old) and I have to say we had the most amazing time!

The cottage is beautifully laid out and decorated to a high standard, with lots of very thoughtful touches which helped make our stay easy. From delicious treats such as homemade Apple Jelly and some fresh bread and butter (along with milk, tea, coffee and juice), to useful household items such as dishwasher tablets and cleaning products. There was also a small but comprehensive stash of emergency supplies such as toothbrushes, toiletries and loo roll should you arrive late or be tight on space for shopping when you’ve traveled. Our children were made welcome by both Karen and Marcus who live next door and we felt very comfortable and at ease during our stay. The travel cot and high chair we use for our toddler was a good size and of good quality too (pretty good for those travelling with toddlers as often these items can be lacking). Karen was also knowledgeable about local places to visit and had excellent recommendations on places to eat and drink. One thing to note is that that cottage is down a private single track through two sets of gates, in fields where sheep were grazing, so it’s not obvious from the main road what the location is. This was no issue for us, but something to bare in mind. We loved the secluded location and how peaceful it was. There’s plenty of footpaths and places to visit on foot nearby and actually if you want to visit Bibury (listed as one of the most beautiful places in the Cotswolds and I can confirm it is STUNNING) this is easily done on foot from the cottage. Additionally, if you are visiting Bibury for those perfect pictures for the ‘gram, it’s far easier to go without a car if you can as there’s very limited parking in the village itself and the local community would be very appreciative of less congestion! Our visit was a very much needed holiday for our family and I was feeling very burnt out before our trip and almost reluctant to go in case it was not what we expected- but I am so glad we did! It’s definitely one of the best and most memorable holidays we’ve had so far as a family and we will be back again in the future. Thank you so much Karen and Marcus, we had a really wonderful holiday!

Fabulous cottage in a beautiful setting.

It’s like staying in a boutique hotel, with lots of luxury finishing touches. Karen is such a lovely host and made us feel so welcome. The kids adored playing with Bella, Ted and Poppy and meeting the brand new chicks. Thanks for making our short stay such a relaxing break.

What a wonderful place it is, a fantastic little find on our behalf, made perfect, by the way Karen & Marcus looked after us.

The cottage is comfortable and nicely designed, there is literally everything there you may need. And if not, the owners will make it happen. Private woodland with access to the river made our doggie walks very special. Lots of tips, information and recommendations where to eat were gratefully received as well. Thanks again Karen & Marcus for all your efforts in making our mini break so special. Aga, Richard and Chilli xxx

We had an excellent and comfortable stay in this well equipped cottage, located in a very picturesque part of the Cotswolds.

The owners were very friendly and have done a first class job in restoring this cottage. We would highly recommend a stay at this property.

Wow what a fantastic cottage, full of character, pristinely presented with lots of little fine touches giving us a wonderful, luxurious and homely feel to our holiday.

We were very grateful for the welcoming treats our hosts had left for us on our arrival! The location is stunning.... wonderful views across the countryside from the cottage. We also enjoyed the short stroll up to the Trout House where we sat and enjoyed the peaceful, stunning countryside views over the valley which was the icing on the cake. Our exceptionally welcoming and friendly hosts went above and beyond to make our stay a very enjoyable and relaxing experience, nothing was too much trouble and they gave us excellent recommendations on what to see, do and eat! Very dog friendly, our little dog loved her mini break too and was well catered for. The area has a wealth of interesting places to visit which are all within around 20 minutes drive from the cottage - the local Trout Farm is well worth a visit in Bibury and near by Bourton on the Water is simply stunning. We would highly recommend a visit to Pudding Hill Cottage, and can't wait to return! Thank you so much Karen, Marcus and your furry and feathered family for such a fantastic stay.

We had an absolutely fantastic 5* stay at Pudding Hill Barn Cottage.

The location was perfect if you like peace and quiet. The cottage was idyllic and finished to a very high standard and spotlessly clean. The hosts were amazing and could not be more friendly and helpful . Would highly recommend and will definitely return. Thank you.

Fabulous warm and cosy cottage with everything needed for a wonderful holiday.

The owners were very friendly, welcoming and made our stay even better. Would highly recommend and shall be returning. Wish I could give 6 stars!
