We loved our stay at Rectory Barn! The photos online don’t fully convey how wonderfully large all the rooms are, very clean, very spacious and comfortable. A perfect house that we’ll definitely return to. Lovely extra touches on arrival such as the table pre-laid for a meal, and stair gates put on without us having to ask (our youngest is 3 so that’s very helpful!). Totally delighted with our stay and wish it had been longer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and stay to Broadwell. The cottage had (almost) everything that we needed and was very clean and welcoming! What a stunning place and immaculate garden. The only thing missing was mention of personal products like shampoo and soap which we easily bought in the end but it would have been helpful to know prior to a transatlantic flight.

Fantastic! We loved The Rectory Barn! It was clean, spacious, comfortable, and beautiful! The beds were very comfortable and our family of 7 slept very well. The hosts have done an excellent job updating it and making it a wonderful place to stay. The location is perfect for visiting the well-known, must-see towns of the Cotwolds. Plenty of easy parking, grocery store minutes away, beautiful enclosed garden/yard, helpful and attentive hosts, and gorgeous interior decorating highlight this magnificent vacation get-away. We would definitely stay here again!

I cannot find much to critique with the property itself, it was perfect for what we needed & there was plenty of room. Gorgeous garden area too. Beds were comfortable. Shower & bathroom options were plenty. Make sure to bring your own toiletries as there weren’t any. Nice touch with the bottle of wine & fruit loaf too. I noticed the wooden beams in the main bedroom were all suffering with woodworm quite badly so may need looking into. The bit that we found frustrating were the instructions on where to park (not out the front - could be made much clearer with a sign saying not parking for rectory barn) and entry in general could be much clearer in the welcome app as well as at the property under “arriving at the property” rather than hidden in other tabs. The codes aren’t in the access the property bit either - we were told we would get a message ahead but this didn’t arrive. Then there were no keys in the lockbox out the front which is where you’d assume you’d enter the property - should have something in there to say that there’s another lockbox out the back too. Small details but would have made getting into the house with kids a lot less stressful. That aside everything was absolutely spot on for what we needed & we would 100% book again if visiting the area.

The Rectory Barn was a beautiful place to stay. The location was perfect. Our needs were well catered for. All the rooms are spacious and well furnished and the kitchen is well equipped. The beds and bedding were comfortable but we felt the towels could have been thicker and larger. The local pub was a short stroll away and well worth a visit. Also the walk into Stow on the Wold by the Monarchs Way was pleasant. Our only criticism was the property felt a bit chilly in the evenings ( mainly due to the weather) so we lit a fire a couple of nights. Also despite searching we could not find anyinstructions for the property (ie recycling/bin day etc) but these did not in any way spoil our stay. We had a lovely week and hope to make return visit.

It was great! We absolutely loved it! The location was great, short driving distances to Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh, which both had grocery stores and everything else you need for a visit to the Cotswolds. We ate breakfast at the house and cooked and ate several dinners at the house as well. The only downside about the location, is that a car is needed. But with a car, you can explore all around, making short trips throughout the Cotswolds or even venturing further out. One of the best parts of us, is that we had a large family there and there were plenty of beds and four full baths! This meant bathroom usage was not a problem at all (which is not at all the case with a hotel). We absolutely loved the it and would love to own a place like that. As for StayCotswolds, working with them was easy and simple. No problems whatsoever. If we venture to the Cotswolds again and are looking for a place to stay, we would happily book with StayCotswold again!

We booked the cottage for my 40th birthday weekend and it was everything we needed. The bedrooms were big, all with lovely ensuite rooms, more than enough space for the 7 of us, and probably room for a couple more. It's perfectly located for exploring the Cotswolds, and more than enough to do if you wanted to stay in the cottage and relax. Our 5-year-old in particular loved the dog bingo game! 10/10 would recommend.

Me and my friends booked a weekend here to get together before Christmas and we had such a lovely stay. The barn was well equipped and everything was immaculate. Beds were very large and comfortable and the living room area was perfect. Lots of DVD films also however we couldn’t get the player beside the TV to work. Location wise it’s not far of a walk from a large Tesco where there’s also a nice village to walk through. Lots of villages within a short drive also. We would definitely stay again and I would highly recommend.
