Amazing converted barn

We loved our mini getaway to the hayloft, the beds and sofa were extremely comfortable. The place was warm and the shower has no issues. The roof height did not bother us at all husband is 5ft11. The only flaw I would say is that the kitchen area didn't supply any basic condiments or tea there was only filtered coffee and when you've travelled 3 hours sometime all you need is a cuppa, (bring some basic supplies with you as nearest local shop is bourton on water. apart from this everything else was top form and a great location

Amazing stay at The Hayloft

We really enjoyed our stay at The Hayloft. It was well equipped and comfortable. It is a beautiful property, very clean with everything you should need. It was extremely hot when we were there and the windows had been opened and a fan left running to cool the property. It is a great location in a beautiful village.

Super Stay in the Cotswolds

The booking process, the accommodation and everything else was terrific. The whole booking process was easy to follow and full of useful information. The accommodation was excellent - clean, spacious with everything we needed including a washer/dryer combo in the kitchen. The sitting/dining area was very large and comfortable with plenty of room to keep suitcases out of the way. The bedroom was romantic but does have limited headroom at the sides but that was not an issue for us. Location of the property was easy to find and access was easy. The Plough Inn across the road is no longer open for food and drinks so you do need to drive to other locations for a pub meal - not an issue for us but worth noting.

Great Stay at the Hayloft

We stayed at the Hayloft for three nights and really enjoyed ourselves. The village of Cold Aston is lovely and a short drive to some of the popular tourist areas of the Cotswolds, like Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and The Slaughters. The property is gorgeous and the unit itself is beautifully renovated and very comfortable. It's well appointed with everything that we needed. We'd been traveling for over a month at that point, so the combo washer/dryer was a nice thing to have. We would definitely stay there again.

This place was great for a weekend stay - clean and the kitchen was well equipped if you wanted to cook. It's well located for visiting areas like Bourton on the Water, as well as Kingham. Can't fault it!

Relaxing in the Hayloft

We spent unforgettable days in a beautiful and lovingly decorated holiday retreat. Every corner spoke of warmth and care, making us feel right at home. Surrounded by silence, far from the rush of everyday life, we found true peace. The location was perfect—a gateway to nature’s quiet wonders and the charm of quaint little villages. And just a short drive away, the breathtaking beauty of the Cotswolds unfolded before us. We carry the memories of this time in our hearts and look forward to returning one day.

Great stay in Cold Astin

The location was excellent, very quiet and yet easily accessible via a short drive to all the villages. Bourton on the water was a 5 minute drive. All amenities were provided, the bed and the lounges were most comfortable and above all it was impeccably clean. Highly recommended. We loved it. Would love to stay again.

Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay in the cottage. It was very cosy and I felt we had everything we needed. The kitchen has everything that you could ever need to cook some breakfasts/meals and the bed was really comfortable. The location was ideal, there is a pub just opposite that prepares amazing food and it was only a 5 min drive to Bourton-on-the-water and we felt we could drive around the Cotswolds visiting lots of villages without having to drive long distances.

Bedroom assault course

A lovely location with a generous twin sofas sitting room, but with a bedroom that has no headroom. Thus one cannot stand upright at the side of the bed. If you try, as we did the first morning, one cracks ones head on hard wooden beams. The shower is also difficult as another beam is positioned to inflict pain. I am 6ft I should add. I would recommend the property, but only with a clear warning about the lack of headroom.
