The cottage was gorgeous with plenty of outdoor space. Kitchen/diner very spacious and all equipment needed was available. Additional fridge by back door handy for drinks. Sofas in living room are too low and deep (very awkward to get out of especially with knee issues). Bedroom's very comfortable, plus a big open entrance area with lots of light.
Plenty of room for all 6 of us and only 15 mins drive from Stow or Moreton

Superb, comfortable, high class accomodation. Kitchen has every amenity and utensil you could think of. Lounge, very comfortable with a large TV. Fast internet, excellent shower, we really cannot find any fault. However, my 20 year old has a minor complaint in that there was no full length mirror. In conclusion, highly recommended and justifies the comparatively high price.

As we opened the front door of barn end, it was clear that the house had not been open for at least a few days. There were a number of wasps flying around on the ground floor, perhaps a dozen. We killed or let out through the windows, perhaps10 or 15. There were dead wasps around the house. Initially it wasn’t clear whether there was an infestation somewhere but we didn’t find one. The other points that the owner should be aware are as follows:
the outside door leading from the living room to the back patio was shut but unlocked and anyone could have stepped in. The left-hand bath tap is about to fall off its spindle and is very difficult to operate. There was a magazine dated January 2025 which should just be thrown out now. I have phoned Bolthole and spoken to a customer service person and I am sure that he has written this down but he was just concerned about whether we had taken photos but not about our holiday. There was a general air of don’t care about the customer/ house which was disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback of your recent stay at Barn End. The housekeeping team did attend Barn End the day of your arrival to prepare the property for your stay. There was no wasp activity found at that time, nor was a infestation found after your stay. That said, we’re sorry to hear that you encountered wasps upon arrival and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Had we been made aware during your stay, our housekeeping team would have been more than happy to attend immediately to investigate and resolve the issue. Your additional feedback has been shared with the property owners, who are reviewing the points you raised. We hope we are able to welcome you back for another stay in the future.

Barn End was the perfect location for our mini break. The house was very clean, bed rooms very comfortable and overall had everything we needed.
The sofas in the lounge could do with replacing as you sunk into them when seated but other than that it was perfect.

We absolutely loved our stay at Barn End in Paxford! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The barn conversion is beautifully done—spacious, clean, and full of charm with a perfect mix of traditional stonework and modern comfort. The bedrooms were cosy with luxurious linens, and the kitchen was incredibly well-equipped for cooking meals during our stay.
The location is ideal: peaceful and quiet, yet just a short drive to Chipping Campden, Broadway and other lovely Cotswold villages.

Our Easter break was truly delightful, thanks to a charming cottage that served as the perfect springboard for family adventures. Nestled within a picturesque village, the cottage offered a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for relaxing after our daily explorations. We embarked on numerous family walks directly from our doorstep, discovering the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding countryside. With its rolling hills and landscapes, the area provided endless opportunities for outdoor enjoyment. And when we craved a traditional pub meal, a short, scenic drive led us to welcoming local establishments.

The warmth and quality of the interior was the first thing that struck me about this property. The kitchen was so well equipped .lots of herbs spices etc it was like being at home . We were all in need of a relaxing break and we certainly got that . We barely left the cottage as it was so cosy . If I had to critique anything it would handy to have a small welcome pack of bread, butter and eggs . Our welcome pack consisted strangely of a packet of Oreo’s and a pint of milk . I would come back and stay at barn end in a heart beat .

We had a very nice stay at Barn End, a family get together. All facilities were good, access clear and straightforward. Everything we needed was provided and plentiful, and everything worked and it was very clean. We would have appreciated a later check out but it got us up and about.

We chose this property based on its size and location. It was portrayed very accurately on the website and we were not disappointed. There were only 2 minor gripes - and they did not spoil the holiday; first was the lack of "bin collection" information anywhere in any document nor at the property. When we arrived all of the bins and recycling containers were full and, so, I was keen to ensure they went out on the right day, in the right way, so there would be room for our rubbish and recycling later in the week. On the Sunday a man from one of the neighbouring houses seemed to have lifted all of the bins and rubbish that had been left, over our wall and wheeled them to a collection point along with a number of neighbours bins. When I went to ask him about the system of collection/whether I could help etc. he was unnecessarily rude and not forthcoming with any information - saying "it was not my problem, was it?". (Clearly he does not like putting others bins out, nor likes the idea of people renting Barn End). It has never been a problem for us to put rubbish out at any other rental property - so why here? The second gripe was the itemised fee of £140 for end of rental "cleaning". Although it is quite a large 3 bed property - I struggle to see how you could justify paying someone £140 to clean it; at a generous £20/hour that would be 7 hours of work. If you are going to charge me that much, I would prefer not to know the amount and accept the notion that it needs cleaning on changeover but that it is included in the overall rental cost - otherwise, it seems like a money-making exercise. (Regarding the cleaning; perhaps the cleaner could use a cleaning product that does not make the wooden dining table feel sticky - like a cheap pub table).
Anyway, we never go into a rental expecting it to be perfect because our own home is not perfect. This was a great property in a fine location and although it was not cheap to rent - it represented pretty good value compared to other places in the Cotswolds. I would certainly recommend Barn End to others and urge the owner to get the bin situation properly sorted out.

As previous guests have pointed out in the Visitors Book the directions given beforehand are wrong and should be corrected.

Unfortunately one of the two promised TV-Sets was out of order. The second did not show the normal programmes such as BBC, ITV, Channel 4. Although Jo did her best to find a workaround this did not work with Channel 4.

A suggestion: a make-up mirror would be helpful.

Just had a lovely few days with my sisters at Barn End Paxford. Tucked away in a lovely quiet village, pretty front garden with views to the valley in the distance. Good location to visit plenty of lovely places in the Cotswolds, we only had a short time but managed to visit Coughton Court, Hidcote and Batsford Arboretum. Don’t miss out on the breakfast at vegatable matters farm shop, Ebrington and we had a lovely lunch at The Roebuck Inn at Alcester, fabulous food with very generous portions and super friendly staff, also stopped off in Broadway and would recommend the Swan Inn for food. Just a shame we only had 3 days. The only addition I would make is maybe have a look at the directions in the arrival information to the property as it definitely says turn left when approaching from Blockley and it is actually a right turn into a drive with a Yew tree in the middle.

We had a lovely stay. It was the perfect weekend with friends.
The house is beautiful, clean and very well equipped with everything we needed.
We will definitely recommend the property to others and I'm sure we'll be back.

Just one small suggestion:
The "Welcome Guide" is brilliant. Our only suggestion would be that the written instructions to find the house were incorrect and it took us at least 15 minutes to find it. It was also night-time and it was very hard to find the house name. We don't usually use what3words so we didn't know how it worked. It would have been great to have a map with the location marked on the pdf, or maybe a Google Maps pin.

Everything was absolutely amazing! Thank you!

A beautiful location - lovely gardens -calm and peaceful. The barn is very comfortable and well equipped and spacious. We thought the living room was rather dark - but a few more lamps would brighten it up.
It was a shame that the local pub kitchen had burnt down as it had had good reviews .
However, Chipping Campden is only a couple of miles down the road has a good selection of eateries , pubs and little shops and is a beautiful little town .

We shared this very cute place with our friends. It was clean and cozy. We wished it had a clothes dryer, but we made due. Normally that would not be a big deal, but we were on a 3 week road trip and were ready to do some laundry. It was also too bad that the pub in the village was closed due to a fire. It would have been nice to walk to a pub. But, it was a beautiful setting and there was designated parking (which is huge for the Cotswolds).

Barn end is a lovely old barn conversion to a modern standard.
All facilities are excellent. We used it for 3 couples and a toddler. My son with my grandson had the best room and the cot goes well in the master bedroom's dressing room. It would be good if a blackout blind was added to this room.
All bedrooms good and spacious.
Lounge is not massive but adequate and does seat 6 comfortably.
Kitchen diner is spacious and seats 6 well and a high chair was available tucked away in the office (off the lounge).
Kitchen is well fitted out with everything you'd require. Weather wasn't brilliant but we did use the patio seating which is a nice sheltered area. There is a small children's play area just down the road in the village which can be accessed via a "kissing gate" from the gravel driveway to a house off the triangular green.

This was our second visit to Barn End and we had another fabulous stay. The house is so cosy and has everything you need for self catering. My two children loved the gardens to explore, the cupboard full of games, the playground a short walk away and the field of sheep. We will be back!

Barn End is simply gorgeous!

We had a wonderful weekend - the house is set in a small and tranquil Cotswolds village which is easily accessible. Set away from the main road, the property feels safe and secure with a private garden.

We were really impressed with how immaculately clean the house was, the quality of the furnishings and the little details that have gone into the house.

There are great communal spaces and the kitchen is very well equipped.

We would definitely recommend this property - it's not too far from places like Chipping Norton, Moreton in Marsh and Daylesford Farm. Just one recommendation, pre-book taxis ahead of your stay if you need them.
