“Absolutely loved this beautiful barn conversion.”

Very comfortable, great location and friendly welcoming owners. Excellent quality furnishings and bedding. A home away from home. We were reluctant to leave. We will recommend it to friends back in Australia. Alan & Sharon Kennedy
Mrs Lopian August 2019

Prof Eggan August 2019

“It was a very nice week.”

All of the people we met (owners) were friendly and exceedingly helpful. The instructions that were left were excellent but we were helped in addition to those instructions.
Mrs Piper July 2019

“Saddlebacks is perfectly located for exploring the eastern part of the Cotswolds.”

The very friendly owners have created the perfect farmyard setting for the three cottages on the site, Inside, Saddlebacks is furnished and equipped to a very high standard. The cleanliness and presentation of the accommodation could not be bettered. The views from the farm are amazing and from inside the cottage you look across the immaculate farmyard or fields of horses. We hope to return soon. Cilla and Malcolm
Mr Beaubeau July 2019

“Being able to sit outside in the beautiful sunshine was an added bonus.”

We also had the family dog Millie come to join us in the sun which was lovely as she’s very friendly. It was nice and peaceful at the cottage which is just what we needed.
Mr Philip December 2018

“We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the property.”

John, the owner, met us the evening we arrived and gave us a quick run down of the unit and the surrounding amenities. This was very helpful. Even though the owners live on site, we hardly felt their presence, and were able to have quiet enjoyment of the property. The facilities were first class, very modern and very clean. We would recommend this property without hesitation.
Mr Sana

“The cottage was well decorated, furnished, well equipped, and comfortable for our stay.”

All the linen, bedding and towels were high quality and very clean. Remarkable attention to details e.g. the availability of a shower mat to prevent slipping in the shower, the manuals for the kitchen appliances were available. The pint of milk in the fridge and the packet of biscuits were appreciated. A box with leaflets of the surrounding places and amenities was available and very useful.

The property

Invisible to passers-by and surrounded by countryside Saddlebacks Barn at Grove Farm is a Cotswold gem.

The barn is located at the end of a private, tree lined drive in a traditional cotswold yard.

Together these provide a very high quality of self catering accommodation which has been carefully improved and maintained keeping it 'tip -top' - and we're sure you will agree.

Views across the farm are almost uninterrupted - bar the horses.

The location is perfect for touring the Cotswolds or popping into Oxford.

Inside the barn is absolutely spotless, presented to a very high standard, attractive and spacious and equally perfect for two people.

The owners are delightful and helpful yet discrete so you can sit in peace or get the hot tips on the nearby places to see!

About the location

Burford

Burford is possibly one of, if not THE most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located mid way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit.

The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits!

With little changing over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all with 25 minutes from the property.
