Lying deep in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside, with trees, rolling fields and fluffy sheep as far as the eye can see, Spring Barn is a delightful, dog-friendly barn conversion offering peace and tranquillity by the bucket load. Sitting at the end of a private drive, this glass and stone barn melds seamlessly into its rural surroundings and offers glorious views over the Swere Valley. The simple yet stylish design ensures it is a charming base to explore from, with Chipping Norton, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Woodstock within touching distance. Alternatively, it could also be the perfect retreat to hunker down and escape real life…just for a little while.

Excellent location with walks straight from the door. Comfy bed and sofas, and lovely under floor heating!
In need of some attention in the kitchen and garden area.

The tap in the kitchen was very loose and there was a no cockscrew or bakeware. Lack of large glasses as well.

The TV has no access to anything apart from Netflix, no terrestrial channel access which was not stated in the description

We spent a relaxing 4 days at Spring Barn, the location couldn't be better, plenty of silence and privacy but only a short walk, if you are feeling energetic, to Hook Norton and all its amenities. A trip to the brewery is a must and we can highly recommend the Sun Inn for friendliness, a great welcoming atmosphere and great fish and chips.
Spring Barn itself was lovely, very clean and just the place to put your things down, flop on the sofa and relax.
Only disappointing thing was we were looking forward to a cup of tea when we arrived but there was no fresh milk in the fridge, something listed as part of the welcome pack, however we did find someone's bag of potatoes in one of the kitchen drawers. This small oversight would not stop us returning though, we really enjoyed our stay.

Overall a good property in a lovely location. Kitchen is a little tired and there was a shortage of implements, bring your own corkscrew, foil, and kitchen roll. Aside from this, the property is perfect for a short stay.

Completely secluded with far reaching views. A fabulous fire, great heating and a comfortable bed with all the mod cons. Perfect for escaping for a few days and enjoying the isolation.

Loved our stay at this property, views were beautiful and the place clean. Very quiet location. Liked the fact that we were secluded, we didn’t want the standard type of accommodation with other guests close to us. The property has underfloor heating downstairs which was very useful in winter. It was also well insulated as we have below zero temperatures outside. Was so nice to have treats left for us as well upon arrival, very thoughtful. We would definitely return. Thank you

An absolutely beautiful house and beautiful location. We had a really lovely stay and loved waking up to the countryside views and endless walks. Easily walkable to lovely Hook Norton on footpaths.

We had two small issues, one was with the cleanliness of the house - when we arrived there was mouse droppings in the kitchen cupboards. The other, the heating was completely off before arrival and as the heating is underfloor heating, it takes a very long time to heat up, therefore it was really very cold for the first evening at the house. We contacted the house keeper and her service was excellent, she came straight out and rectified the issue with the mouse droppings so no complaints there.

We would definitely stay again as the house is just stunning. Our dogs and family loved it.

Stayed for 3 nights. Fantastic location in the middle of fields but close enough to major town like chipping Norton. It is a bit remote and you will definitely need a car. The last bit to the cottage is partially paved.

Cottage itself is Well furnished and comfortable with all the required items for a self catering stay. Would recommend a proper cutting knife and a dish scrub and a few extra firm pillows.

Layout is really good for a family or group of friends. We loved the loving area with its multiple sofas and center table - this was good for evening games and chilling.

Neighboring field has some animals which are friendly esp the horse!

Night time sky views are amazing! Definitely one that we will return too.

Idyllic situation surrounded by gorgeous country side, horses and sheep. Modern beautifully finished barn with lovely interior and modern kitchen. A couple of points to make it totally perfect. Kitchen could do with a few more trays for the oven and few more kitchen equipment. The hob, splashback and cooker hood were not totally clean but the housekeeper Nikki sorted it immediately was super helpful with the TV and left me a box of chocos. Bolthole Retreat you are lucky to have her. Super efficient.

Loved this place would stay forever
