"We stayed at Saddleback barn from the 14th May till 21st may and it was excellent."
There was everything you needed and it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They have two lovely dogs Alfie and Millie who came to see us often. We would def stay there again and highly recommend it. Richard and Jennie

"A gorgeously appointed cottage being cared for by a lovely family in a beautiful setting."
We were greeted on arrival and wished safe journey on exit.
Although this s a working farm and saddlebacks is the middle converted stable of three there was no noise from our neighbours or the working of the farm . It was a quiet and relaxing retreat . Short walk to the bus stop for a trip into Oxford along grassy verges , beyond the bus stop the pathways of Minster Lovell took over and it was an easier 20 minute walk to local pub for excellent food ,
A torch is provided and the bus timetables are easily accessible via their website , plus there is a free multi-storey car park in Whitney so your car can be left there safely while you bus hop.
Great holiday, fab weather for January and a great part of the country. We couldn’t have asked for anything more . Even the farms two dogs liked to come and say hello occasionally .
Thank you for your feedback. We are so happy to hear that you had a lovely stay at Saddlebacks Barn and took full advantage of the surrounding areas such as Oxford and Minster Lovell.

"I stayed in a one bedroom barn in late Jan 2021."
Initially booked due to the high specification, decor and price. The barn did not disappoint. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly prior to and during the stay. I would highly recommend staying at any of their barn properties. Communication with Sykes cottages was difficult prior to the stay. They didn’t respond to any emails.

Everything was done to follow the guidance and we found everything to be of a very high standard. The owners were friendly, informative and helpful. They even told us about a Spitfire that was due to fly close by the cottage. It was a delight to stay there. We also loved seeing the horses, donkeys and other animals!

"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.

"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.
