• "Beautiful cottage in a lovely place, ideal for visiting Westonbirt Arboretum."

  The ceiling height upstairs could be an issue for some people.

• "We had a fantastic break to celebrate our 25 year wedding anniversary and absolutely loved the property."

  The only thing we could pick up on (which was not really an issue) was that the nearest pub was supposed to be 0.9 miles walk, but was actually 3 miles away. There was a pub about 0.9 miles away, but the road wasn't safe to walk. Also we are not the tallest, but there wasn't much head space in the bedroom. That said, we loved the property and didn't want to leave! Highly recommend and would like to return.

• "Our third visit to the Hayloft, but our first during the winter."

  The log fire was a lovely bonus and very cosy. The hot tub was also lovely after a days walk, couldn’t persuade my wife though. Overall a lovely, cosy property and so convenient for the Arboretum, and the ‘Winter wonderland’ light show was fantastic. Thanks again for a lovely stay.

• "Myself and my Husband had a wonderful stay at The Hayloft for a week."

  The facilities at the property are excellent, super comfy cosy bed, hot tub that keeps the heat, large soaking tub and a fully equipped kitchen. Emma gave us a few local tips and the welcome pdf document that is sent has some great recommendations which we used. We also loved the Marshall speaker and to be honest we loved so much about the property that there isn’t enough space to list everything! Tetbury is absolutely charming and its only 5-7mins drive away, and the Arboretum is a 5min walk from the property. The property itself was the perfect place for us to get away from everything and we can’t wait to return. Thank you Emma!

• "We had a lovely holiday in this beautiful cottage."

  We had everything we needed and the bed was so comfortable - the best sleep for a long time! The hot tub was so good after a day of walking and the log burner made the place extra cozy. The cottage is set in a beautiful location opposite Westonbirt Arboretum which is such a magical place - incredibly beautiful with the love autumn colours. I would certainly recommend this lovely cottage.

• "We had the most beautiful stay here for our mini moon."

  It was spotless, stunning inside and out and was well equipped. We struggled to get a taxi on any day as we really hoped to both be able to have a drink and go out for dinner, which was a shame but definitely didn’t spoil our stay and wouldn’t put us off coming back at all, it’s just worth a mention in case anyone else was thinking the same when booking. The village is only a 5 minute drive away so very close. Thank you for the perfect start to married life!

  Thankyou for your kind feedback Susan,we are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately being in the countryside taxis are notoriously difficult and often need to be booked well in advance of your stay. We will look into this and see if we can update our taxi information to include some companies from Cirencester who may be more avaliable. Property Owner

• "An absolutely stunning property, perfectly described by the host."

  Emma & Karl have made a perfect little cosy sanctuary for couples who are looking for that much needed break away to relax and recharge. Hosts are friendly and chatty and really made us feel welcome. The gorgeous town of Tetbury is just a short drive away which is great, highly recommend the Italian restaurant there for anyone wanting a lovely meal out. Recommendation for anyone staying - take Carrots and Ginger Nut Biscuits the donkeys (Wallace, Kanye and Fred!) will love you forever and so will the sheep! Can't recommend enough and we will definitely be returning.

  The location is very conveniant for using as a base for visiting other locations. The property was very clean. The approach to the property is one way so exercise precaution.Hot tub was rather relaxing for a while in the evening. While here DO get to see the chickens in their posh home and don't forget the ginger nuts for the donkeys. All in all a damn good stay. Thank you.

  Exceptionally clean, with top quality finishes throughout; Le Cruset cookware and tableware, buttery soft bedlinen and plump duck down bedding. Lovely private patio to enjoy the hot tub and evening sun. Icing on the cake was the use of the owners own garden and gazebo and meeting their dogs and donkeys. Turns out Karl and I grew up minutes away from each other- small world! Make your booking at The Hayloft, you won't be disappointed

  Log burner was a must as it was a really cold week, plenty of logs (great log store outside for us to help ourselves) We ate in almost every night, lots of nice Le Creuset pans and oven wear to use.

• "A beautifully renovated and decorated cottage."

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our only suggestion would be some non stick pans and a few more tea towels and maybe a little welcome pack of basics such as milk and bread etc as the nearest shops are some distance. We had a great time.

  Thankyou for staying with us,and for leaving us your feedback. We trialled ‘welcome packs’ at various points over the last 18months.However, we found that due to customers individual preferences,allergies and intolerances much was going to waste. We do provide unlimited nespresso pods, tea bags sugar and milk sticks so that our customers can make a hot drink after their journey. Property Owner

• "The Hayloft is a no expense spared, couples holiday let for touring the southern Cotswolds."

  Literally on the doorstep of Westonbirt National Arboretum, a few minutes from Highgrove/Tetbury. It is stunning in every respect. The only downside comfort wise is the restricted headroom around the king size bed up in the roof space; it involves a bit of bending to get around. Otherwise it has everything necessary for a very relaxing break and is highly recommended.

• "The Hayloft was amazing!"

  I can’t recommend highly enough. Everything was perfect! The property was tastefully decorated throughout and had everything you’d need. The Japanese bath was a particular highlight, as was the two person hot tub. Lots of places to visit nearby including Westonbirt Arboretum (directly opposite), Tetbury, Stow-on-the-Wold, Castle Combe, Bourton-on-the-Water, Arlington Row and Cirencester. Also got to WWT Slimbridge, a wetland wildlife reserve. There were lots of nice restaurants to eat out. Lola and Co tapas in Tebury was fantastic! As was Amalfi in Nailsworth. The owners were lovely. Make sure to go say hi to the donkeys and chickens that live in the grounds. The donkeys are super friendly and couldn’t get enough of the carrots and ginger biscuits. Would’ve loved to have stayed longer!

  Thankyou so much for leaving us such lovely comments. We are so fortunate to be in a beautiful part of the Cotswolds with loads to do just on the doorstep, we are so glad you managed to see so much of it during your stay. Lola and Co is one of our favourite places to eat! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future xxx Property Owner

  A little height restricted in places upstairs but nothing you don’t get used to. The hot tub is a real welcome addition, especially after a days walking and the electric car charger a real bonus. The Arboretum is well worth a visit, and must be spectacular in the autumn, in fact we’d definitely book here again and are thinking about doing later in the year. A lovely property.

  It’s modern, beautiful and homely! Amazing attention and high spec facilities. Emma and Karl (owners) were so accommodating. The Hayloft is located on their property but they made us most welcome, invited us into their ground to meet all their furry friends! They gave us fresh eggs from their chickens, petted their retired donkeys and we met their 9 day old orphan lamb (great touch for easter break!) We can’t recommend enough! Only downside is that we didn’t book for longer. Emma and Karl, thank you again. We hope to see you in the future.

  Tucked away offering complete privacy. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and everything is of the highest standard.

  To say it was as good as the pictures doesn’t even do this place justice. It’s the most beautiful place, clean and so comfy it truly felt like a home away from home, we even said to eachother that we would happily live there it was that good! We’ve already recommended over 5 people to come here and will definitely come back. Emma was an absolutely delight, my partner saw both Emma and her husband and said how welcoming and lovely they were, and I stayed in touch with her over our stay and we didn’t feel like nuisance at all, ever. The hot tub was unreal morning and night and they have all the stuff you could need here. The ambient lighting is nothing short of a delight as people in their twenties it was so modern but so cosy!
