“The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped for people who plan to cook.”

We discovered the amazing park just across the main road which has a wonderful adventure playground and great paths for joggers. The nearby Masons Arms was a friendly local pub and in warmer months the outdoor space would definitely be very nice to use.

“Had a lovely holiday.”

House was clean and beds were comfy. A few things that spoiled the overall experience: The check-in and check-out time kept changing throughout our booking and stay so more communication is needed between the housekeepers and Sykes. There are NO blinds on any of the skylights in the upstairs bedrooms, some of which are directly above the beds. Housekeeper’s response was,”it is what it is”. We had to use bin bags and towels to block out the light! Housekeeper came round and treated the hot tub at the exact moment we were getting in and told us we couldn’t then use it for 2 hours. Not ideal! Constant beeping noise was coming from the utility room. Rung housekeeper and was informed I needed to fix the problem myself. Again, not ideal!

We are glad you had a lovely holiday and we apologise for the few things that affected your overall stay. These have been addressed with the house keeper. Manor Cottages. Sykes owner relations

“Lovely place for all family to stay.”

Great facilities. While this barn do allow dogs to stay be weary of the additional charge and what it covers. Our dog did get some mud on the bed sheets which we were charged to replace to the tune of £80 rather than a dry clean. We'd paid an additional £20 per dog to stay and this wasn't considered when deducting the cost of replacing the sheets. We like to take our dogs with us on holiday and this is somewhere we wouldn't come back to on the basis of above experience.

“Malt Barn was a bit tricky to find from the directions we were sent.”

The oven was so complicated to use you needed to work at NASA! But these were very minor issues as the accommodation was superb and better equiped than our own homes. Right down to a cupcake stand which we needed for my birthday cupcakes! We were all very impresed. The hot tub building was out of action which we weren't advised about but the hot tube was still usable so that was fine. Pub the Mason's Arms down the road was very good value for Sunday lunch.

“Hard to find anything they could improve on, maybe some plastic plates for children and garden use, and some coat hooks in the annex would be useful.”

The property

This delightful holiday property set in a quiet location within the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, a short distance from Burford.

The property is presented to a very high standard with five bedrooms and four bathrooms available making it absolutely prefect for large group gatherings - be they friends or family.

Internally the property retains many period features along with countless contemporary touches to give this a real high quality, minimalist feel.

An element that particularly appealed to us was the large ground floor which has the feeling of being 'open plan' but actually has separate 'rooms' and this creates a sense of being together without all the noise that this can sometimes bring!

Similarly appealing are the large gardens to the rear of the property, which the owners have thoughtfully added a hot tub, skittles and table tennis which are just as much fun for friends (adults) as they are families with children!

A great choice.

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.
