"We had a wonderful time staying at Southview Barn."
The cottage is in a wonderful rural setting, with gorgeous views. It is extremely comfortable, warm and welcoming, especially after a day out exploring the charming local area.

"Lovely location and cottage."
Great for walking into Bourton along the road or through the beautiful countryside. Ideally placed for going further afield including lots of great places a short distance. Easy access to pubs - recommend booking on Monday evenings in Bourton as a number of places were closed.

"Loved the cottage and tennis courts."
The house wasn't as clean we thought it would be (from reading reviews prior to going) but was certainly adequate. No welcome pack (no milk/wine/cookies etc) but this is likely due to covid restrictions presumably.
Our main challenge was with the dogs that run free all across the property. Most are friendly but one was a bit of a nuisance to both our kids. He jumped up and tried to bite (possibly just wanting to play?) our oldest boy (11) and on another occasion harassed (again, possibly in a friendly way but scared our son and me!) our youngest boy (8) and ended up scratching half his leg causing lots of tears and some fear.
We all love dogs as a family and are usually fine with them but this one was tricky to deal with. Would be really great if there was fencing around some of the lovely lawn areas to keep the dogs out so we could enjoy the space without worrying about the dogs.
Apart from that it was a beautiful location and we did really enjoy our stay - thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed the cottage and facilities outside, and we'll make sure to forward your concerns and difficulties to the owner, we are looking forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

"Due to covid restrictions some items had been removed."
That was fine. Polite and friendly owner. Forgot to advise him that the satellite dish was loose and moved in the wind. This disrupted quite a few channels as the signal would be lost.

"This was only a 2night stay in November so we were unable to fully appreciate the grounds,which I am sure would be great at a better time of year."
We were met upon arrival and shown the property by the owner.They had left us a welcome pack which was a lovely surprise.We had our dog with us and great to know the 12 acre property is fully fenced and safe and they have 2friendly labs,which regularly visit you during your stay.The stay more than met or expectations and we have already passed our comments on to friends and recommended the property for a stay in the Cotswolds. If we are able to return in the future would certainly return.

"Beautiful setting with perfect grounds for our 2 dogs to run free and with no worries about them getting out onto the road."
The owner was very friendly and helpful especially in recommending a good place to book for a surprise Father's Day lunch ( had contacted a couple of weeks in advance of our stay). Even though we have 2 spaniels and holiday with them several times a year we hate staying somewhere where you can smell dogs have been present, not the case here.

This was the first time my young dog was able to run free as the grounds are totally enclosed and it was an absolute joy to see him enjoy himself so much making friends with the owners very friendly dogs and especially with the horses!I couldn't make any suggestions to improve the property. It is outstanding in every respect and everything you would wish for is provided. The grounds are a delight and the hospitality and cheerfulness of the owner outstanding. And he left us to our own devices but we knew he was always there should we have needed him.Possibly the most pleasant self catering accommodation and experience I have ever had.
