About this house rental
** Launched Easter 2018**
Barton House Barn is a beautifully converted granary barn belonging to Barton House Farm (Grade II listed ). Positioned in the heart of the picturesque village of Shutford, the Barn overlooks the pretty norman church of St Martin on a no-through road which leads on to beautiful open countryside. It is also a stone’s throw from the local village pub The George and Dragon which offers good local ale and home cooked food.
The Barn is well situated for those who wish to explore the heart of the Cotswolds with Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water and Moreton in Marsh less than a 30 minute drive. It is also within easy reach of the popular market towns of Banbury, Shipston and Chipping Norton as well as the busier tourist destinations of Warwick, Stratford Upon Avon, Oxford and Bicester Village. Having lived in the Cotswolds for 20 years we can offer our guests plenty of advice and information on where to go to make the most out of their stay.
The Barn
The Barn retains many original features including exposed stonework and beams complemented by slate tile flooring running throughout the ground floor. The large entrance hall leads through to the spacious living room and to the kitchen dining room.
Downstairs
Entrance hall with storage and cloakroom area, wc and kitchen dining room. The modern kitchen dining room offers all cooking needs, double oven, microwave, large dishwasher, fridge freezer, toaster, kettle, ceramic hob and coffee machine. The large double aspect living room features large French doors opening straight onto a south facing patio area. Although fully centrally heated for that extra cosy winter warmth there also wood burning stove in the lounge.
Upstairs
Large vaulted ceiling master bedroom with ensuite WC and shower room. The room also features access to small balcony area. The second and third bedrooms are of equal size with double and twin beds respectively. All rooms have wardrobes and drawers for plenty of storage. The family bathroom serves the second and third bedroom. And we have a small laundry room with washing machine for guests who like to travel light. Finally, all beds are new with super comfortable Hypnos quality mattresses to ensure the best night’s sleep.
We have unlimited high speed wifi availble thoughout the house.
Outside
The south facing patio includes outdoor table and chairs, gas BBQ covered by a pergola with climbing roses for some shade.

A 5* home hotel, fabulously comfy beds, super cleaning done for Covid 19. Never had such a pleasant stay in an holiday home loads of touches such as a jar of doggy biscuits and muddy paw towels for our furry friend. Fully stocked kitchen, more utensils than I think I have in my kitchen 😊 would have no hesitation in recommending it you anyone for a relaxing country break. Will definitely be booking again to stay in the summer and sit in the patio and have a bbq.
The pub across the road serves great food with friendly staff and a separate area to eat with the dog. Also recommended is Monkeybean coffee shop in Sugarswell Business Park they do great coffee sandwiches and cakes.

This is a perfect place to visit the Cotswolds. Is close to many interesting sites (such as Chipping Camden, Broadway, the Warwick Castle, Stratford upon Avon, among others), it´s located in a lovely old village, and the house itself is perfectly decorated, clean, and it has good spaces for children.

Stayed here with my family over Easter. There were six of us and I was not sure after seeing the pictures online whether the property was going to be big enough, but what a fantastic surprise when we went in this place is much bigger than it looks. The kitchen is well equipped and with three good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms and a downstairs cloakroom, everything you could want. The barn was very clean and well decorated. It is located in a lovely small village and there are some really nice scenic walks and the pub is literally just down the road. The weather was beautiful and we spent a lot of time on the patio off the lounge which was lovely, only downside is the heating vent which comes out of the wall next to the patio bench but this was only on a couple of times during our stay so not too bad. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend this property.

We stayed 5 nights in this beautiful barn house, and visited 10 towns in Cotswolds. It seems very close to everywhere we planned to visit. The owner live next to the property and they are very nice, help us a lot when we have problem with our car. We feel very lucky to stay there and to have them around.
