Punch Barn is one of 5 barns located on the Goodlake site, a short drive away from the historic city of Oxford, and in easy reach of all the beautiful Cotswold villages and towns. The barn invites you in to the large, light filled interior, offering you warm, comfortable accommodation to sit back and relax into after a day of exploring.

Great stay!

Great location for exploring the Cotswolds. Easy to find with the instructions provided, property was clean, spacious and cosy. A perfect place for a mini break away!

Only drawback was a fan noise that was very loud at night, particularly in twin bedded room. Sounded like a mighty storm enough to keep occupants awake. We couldn’t find out what or where it came from. Otherwise all good.

My sister had stayed in Punch before, so when a family member needed us close by it was the perfect property to feel relaxed and happy in. Light, airy, well equipped and in a beautiful hamlet with plenty of walking nearby, which was lovely in early mornings. Everything you need and huge bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Home from home but with a hint of luxury.

We were very comfortable at Punch Barn and would stay there again. Nicely spacious, but warm and cosy. However, we feel the preparation could have been better:
1. Ceiling light not working - a common weakness
2. Not sufficient cutlery and kitchen items (e.g. no small sharp knives), but plenty of crockery and glasses - another common weakness
3. Grill pan needed cleaning - not very common these days
4. Damp smell from one of the settees - Hmmm
5. Outdoor light on the blink

Not major issues, just irritants that could be easily rectified (except perhaps 4). We felt it was at the upper end of "reasonably priced".

Thank you for your feedback - we will pass on your particular comments to the owner for investigation re points 1, 3, 4 and 5, and sourcing of a small sharp kitchen knife and any other cutlery items that were missing in point 2. We would be delighted to have you back to Punch or any of our properties in the future, and hope this has not effected your desire to return and we offer a 5% returning guest discount for all of our guests. We will work to ensure all of the items you have raised are rectified quickly.

We rented the whole property to entertain family and friends for our daughter's wedding. A perfect venue for this sort of gathering, with cooking facilities to make catering for 28 as easy as it could be, and a communal room big enough to seat us all for meals in comfort. A very well-run group of properties

We stayed here for a group get together with others staying in the other barns. This worked very well and there is a lovely courtyard area to look out on or gather together.
Punch was comfortable, loved the under floor heating and comfy bed. Shame there wasn't an option given for second bedroom to be a double.
Nice quiet location in a very pretty village.
Negatives were that the plug was missing from bathroom sink and freezer was all iced up, whilst these are relatively minor things it should never happen for a property marketed as luxury.

We have hired the whole of Goodlake Barns several times for Fitfish Retreats and it's always great. No hesitation to recommend it to others
