  • "An enjoyable stay despite dreadful rain."

    We were met on arrival by Mrs Lawrence who was very helpful and made us feel welcome. It was a pleasant restful stay and lovely to walk out the door and have a choice of country walks. The dog was very happy there and slept in the kitchen each night. The pub in Whichford was very welcoming and friendly. Sunday dinner was very good at the Norman Knight. The pottery was very interesting with an excellent cafe. All only about 20 minutes walk from Little Barn. Many thanks. Would love to go again

    Thank you for your comments, it's lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay at Little Barn. I'ts a great base to explore everything in the area and lots of lovely walks on your door too. We would love to welcome you again for another stay soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

    Everything is of a high quality and very comfortable. The hosts are so welcoming, and happy to advise on local places to visit. Very peaceful location, with geese, sheep, ducks and chickens to keep you company.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased to hear you had a lovely stay and enjoyed seeing some of the animals. We would love to welcome you again soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

  • "Little Barn is an excellent barn conversion in a quiet, unspoilt area of the Cotswolds, but only a short drive to note able bustling towns such as Chipping Norton & Moreton in the Marsh."

    The barn has all home comforts & is well furnished & managed by the owners who live nearby. The surrounding countryside was beautiful with rolling hills punctuated by ancient trees. There is a well marked public footpath on the doorstep, leading to a deep valley & further hay meadows. Little Barn is on an incredibly quiet road with hardly any cars passing by. Local riders use it on a daily basis when exercising their horses. We enjoyed a blissful week of peace & quiet, with birdsong during the day & bats & owls flying around at night. An excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds.

  • "Absolutely perfect rural retreat for those that want a quiet family holiday with their four legged friend."

    The location was amazing for us with many picturesque walks right on the doorstep, beautiful villages and the local pub a 10 minute walk along very quiet country lanes. You are only 20 - 30 minutes drive away from some incredible little Cotswold towns and villages and we would highly recommend you take the time to explore. No road noise, no town noise, very little traffic anywhere.....Heaven! The owners Mr & Mrs Lawrence who live just along the lane are a lovely friendly couple who are a wealth of local knowledge and advice, highly recommend you have a chat! Ian, Tina & Mollie Phipps.

  • "It was a beautiful place, well equipped and with kind tenants who live nextdoor."

    It has a nice view of the hill, with sheep and geese (and squirrels;-) in the meadow. It is a very quiet area but there is a pub in Whichford which is a quarter of an hour walk, where one can eat and drink. Chipping Norton is only a 10 minutes drive away. Also Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford aren't far away.

    Clean and bright with stunning finishes and details! Our little dog loved that he could go out for walks down lanes, across fields and through woods! Really a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxing holiday and space away from the everyday routine! Back home fully recharged!!!

  • "This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the world, the owners met us on arrival and are very nice,the outside area is all concrete overlooked by a field with sheep, the outside area is secure for dogs."

    Chipping Norton is the nearest town (small) and has everything you need accessed by many narrow country lanes. We visited the area to explore National Trust properties of which there are many so we were well located, a bonus is that the Morgan car factory an hour away does factory tours, a must for dads.
