The Barn - Romantic Cotswolds Stay
𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:
When it comes to quintessential Cotswold stays, it doesn’t get closer than The Barn. The perfect couples getaway - if you like going on adventures together, this is the place. Walking routes, waterways and open landscape sit right outside the door, with a cosy base to come back to. And when you’re all adventured out, there’s a south-facing spot to sit, a croquet lawn nearby, and the pub just down the road. It’s dog friendly too.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲:
The Barn sleeps up to two guests across one bedroom, featuring a king-size bed and a private bathroom. The open-plan living and kitchen area includes a fully equipped kitchen with appliances and cookware, a Smart TV and fast and reliable WIFI. Central heating keeps the space comfortable year-round, and Wildsmith Skin toiletries, along with bed linen and towels, are included for every guest.
Outside, you’ll have access to a south-facing private outdoor seating area, along with use of the croquet lawn, with mallets provided, if you feel like a little knock around before lunch.
𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:
You’ll have full private use of The Barn throughout your stay, along with access to the outdoor seating area and croquet lawn. Parking is available on site, with one allocated space and additional room for visitors.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱:
Set within the beautiful Cotswold Lakes, you’re surrounded by over 180 lakes, woodland trails and quiet village lanes. The landscape feels open, green and peaceful in every direction. It's the perfect space to be active and explore, ideal for cycling, paddle-boarding, or just walking and enjoying the abundant wildlife and fresh air.
Cerney Wick is a tiny hamlet surrounded by lakes, fields and walking paths. You’re on the Thames Path, with the River Churn close by, which makes this a brilliant base for gentle riverside walks and slower days outdoors, without needing to get in the car.
South Cerney is within easy reach and is one of the area’s most established villages. Think traditional stone cottages, small, friendly shops, lovely pubs and delightful cafés, plus plenty of options for eating and drinking across the wider lakes.
Cirencester is about 10-15 minutes by car and offers boutique shopping, restaurants, markets, and a rich sense of history. Kemble Station is also close, with direct trains into London, making this spot practical for quick weekend visits as well as longer stays.
𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱:
• A car is helpful but not essential
• 20-min walk to the nearest bus stop (Swindon - Cheltenham)
• Two bikes available (basic) or rentals nearby

The house is dog-friendly. One well-behaved dog is welcome (£35 per dog). Decoration services can be arranged for special occasions.
Quiet hours run from 10.30PM to 8AM, and we ask guests to respect the peaceful setting: No parties, and no smoking indoors.
𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀:
Everybody finds peace in a different way, and that’s how it should be. From the moment you book, you decide the pace, and we’ll be there to help you plan, and create moments that really matter. It’s that little extra layer of support we offer to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thoughtful service, that never gets in the way of a good moment.
Whether that means a slow morning with a fresh pot of tea and a long soak, or a day out exploring neighbourhoods and nature - we’ll guide you, so it all unfolds just the way you’ve pictured it.

The perfect spot for a break
We had a lovely weekend - the Barn was a cozy and very comfortable base from which to explore. The hosts provided lots of info on the local area and we made good use of the walk book. Perfect place

The Barn
We have a brilliant long weekend away at The Barn. It was exactly what we needed.
The Barn was extremely comfortable, clean and very dog friendly.
The location was great too, in a small village but easily accessible to local towns and villages for day trips. Lots of nice countryside for walks too.
I’d highly recommend The Barn for a lovely stay in the Cotswolds and we can’t wait to come back!

Dog friendly stay at The Barn
We stayed at The Barn for a couple of nights at the end of October. It was brilliant. The Barn is lovely! Really well decorated and nice and cosy as the weather is getting colder. Everything you need is there including lots of information on things to do locally. We did a couple of walks and went to the pub (Eliot Arms) in South Cerney.

The perfect place
Was there for RIAT. Perfect location for any of the ways to get to the airshow but just out of the way enough to be peaceful. The village itself had a lovely restaurant but close enough to others around the water park. The accommodation itself was exceptional. Everything you needed even down to the tea, coffee and milk on arrival. Cleanliness was to a high level with all necessary bedding and towels provided. Overall, a wonderful, but brief stay and highly recommended

This is a very well equipped apartment above a barn in Cerney Wick. We stayed a couple of nights to attend a wedding and found the apartment to be immaculately clean, with all amenities we would need. It is larger than it looks in the pictures and the bedroom is a fully separate room, with an en suite. It is within easy reach of the Cotswolds Water Park, where we went for some meals and the pub in the village (The Crown) has a great Indian restaurant. Would highly recommend this place for a relaxing long weekend. It is well suited for couples looking to explore the local area.
Lovely peaceful Barn in a very convenient but quiet location. Everything you could wish for. Very warm greeting by the host, we cheekily arrived 20 mins early due to a downpour and it was no trouble. Highly recommend.
