Tucked away in a conservation area, in the heart of the small but perfectly formed Cotswold village of Nether Westcote, Crofter’s Barn is a delightful rural escape, just for two. This former threshing barn dates back to the 18th century and is packed with original features including stunning beams and stone walls, and offers space and privacy, both inside and out, in abundance. The interiors are light and airy thanks to the sympathetic conversion into a beautiful holiday home. An impressive Cotswold stone fireplace with a wood burning stove is a real focal point, whilst a stylish extension enhances the space and brings the outside in.

SHORT BREAK- AMAZING.

Needed a quick 4 day break in our favourite part of the country. Booked with Bolthole Retreats previously and very impressed, consequently we searched their website first. Crofter's Barn ticked every box for us. On arrival the location, comfort, decor, cleanliness went beyond expectation. Ideal property for a couple with plenty of space, very comfortable and centrally located to all the attractions in the heart of the Cotswolds. When we hopefully visit the area again later in the year and we will be staying at 'Crofters Barn'.



Great accommodation in an excellent location

We just returned from 5 days at Crofter's Barn. What a perfect Cotswolds retreat! It is cozy, not cramped, tucked in with the other pretty homes in quiet Nether Westcote. We had a fire each night after walking for miles. The location is ideal for exploring other towns including Stonehenge (an hour and a half but worth it) The Feathered Nest Inn is right across the street for a cocktail or dinner - although we cooked in as well. Everything you need is in house. Our lone complaint was our inability to contact the local housekeeper Debbie by either phone, text or email. Fortunately, Bolthole Retreats was very responsive to our needs when we could not reach Debbie.

Lovely property, excellent location. A shame most of the kitchen cupboards were locked leaving only one cupboard for you to store your own shopping. Everything is there that you could possibly need and would recommend this property for a great stay in the cotswolds.

We spent a happy week exploring the beautiful Cotswold villages, not to mention the many good pubs in the area.The cottage is very welcoming and comfortably well furnished, plenty of space for a couple. The kitchen is well stocked with plates, glasses, utensils, pots and pans, etc. and the garden, though small, is a charming and unexpected plus on a warm summer’s day. The Feathered Nest pub is just across the road and offers a good restaurant and large grounds with lovely views of the countryside. We will happily return when we get the chance.

A very nice bolt hole retreat for a few days and an excellent location for getting to other prime Cotswolds locations - would have been very content to have stopped for a longer time - all in all a very relaxing time.

Had a lovely 3-night stay at Crofter's Barn. it's in a great location for exploring the Nothern Cotswolds. The cottage is easy to find but is away from main roads and is oh-so quiet and peaceful. Everything you need is provided and is comfortable, clean and well-maintained. Didn't go to the Inn opposite as it was closed the first couple of days and is quite pricey, but enjoyed two very good meals at The King's Head Inn in nearby Bledington. Recommended.

Another good week enjoyed at Crofters. Second time here and just as relaxing despite the poor weather. Location is good for a wide variety of walking, plenty of super restaurants available in locality as well. Facilities are very good and if a high standard. Will definitely be back.

The cottage is beautiful inside and out. Set in a quiet but convenient location with all amenities and attractions close by. We look forward to staying here again. The cottage was immaculate throughout, the bed was comfortable. The underfloor heating in the bathroom and large shower were great.
Due to the open plan space downstairs and travelling in January the cottage was very cold when we arrived, not really and issue as we located the boiler and turned the heating on and lit the wood burning stove. It took a few hours to warm up. I would recommend packing some warm clothes if staying in winter as it can still be on the cool side in the lounge /dining area.
My recommendation to the owners would be to have a small dressing table or large mirror in the bedroom as there was no where to sit and dry my hair. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great accommodation, it was very clean & tidy. It had everything you could require and more.
It was centrally located for the Cotswolds but isolated so that you new you were in a very rural location.
The accommodation file was extensive and accurate, there are some really good restaurants that are recommended, we enjoyed eating out each evening.
The conservatory was lovely to sit in and relax after a busy day exploring the area.

We would definitely use this again.



Very nice all round.

The only thing is the shaving socket, didn't find it inside the bathroom cupboard until the last day. Could do with a mirror above the sink as well.

We really enjoyed our stay at Crofters Barn. It was a very charming and spacious cottage. The village is in a great location and the local pub was fantastic- would recommend to other visitors to try out their Sunday roast!

Fabulous cottage in a lovely Cotswolds village. Although spacious and airy, it was a warm and cosy place to stay. Perfectly situated for visiting lovely Cotswolds towns and attractions as well as great walks, Very peaceful and restful....and loved listening to the birdsong.

Crofter's Barn is quiet, beautifully presented and well located. The open plan lounge diner is lovely and bright, but also warm and cosy with the wood burner, and the bedroom is very comfortable. 10 minutes to Stow or Burford - both just fantastic for shops and places to eat. And the same distance to Daylesford Farm, with its excellent restaurant and shop. The pub right opposite, the Feathered Nest, is great (and we heard no noise at all). Some small points: the kitchen needs a cupboard in which to store food - we had to leave it all out on the counter top - and we were only left 2 small logs for our first fire which disappeared within an hour! The bedroom also needs a dressing mirror. Note - there is no smart TV, so no access to iPlayer or Netflix etc, only Freeview channels. Not a problem for us on a short stay but odd in this day and age - especially as the wifi there is so good. I did raise some maintenance and cleaning issues with the owner and got a very positive response. Excellent help, also, from Bolthole Retreats when I got the booking dates wrong! All in all, a great little place to stay.

Our last minute winter getaway at Crofter's Barn was wonderful! The barn is cosy and very comfortable with plenty of space for 2, set in a beautiful Cotswold village with easy access to the popular surrounding towns of Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the Water - an ideal base to explore from. Thank you also to Bolthole Retreats for easy booking and great service. We will definitely be back!
