The house is big, airy and has nice views. We, like many, were there for a celebration, the house accommodated well our largish group. It was clearly a lovely house before but is now tired and, for what it is, expensive. The house needs repairs and decorating in every room and outside. The cleaning was ok but still plenty of cobwebs and dust on shelves. The kitchen is missing basics and doesn’t have enough serving bowls, serving spoons, crockery really. A final comment - the owner came through the house yard at speed on a quad bike, unannounced and without slowing down. With a young child in our party this was not just an intrusion but felt unsafe. Overall it is hard to recommend the house in its current state- it doesn’t truly match the photos on the StayCotswold website. With a refresh and some better equipment it could be great.

Waterhead Barn is a stunning building in a beautiful location. We enjoyed the nearby beautiful meadow and stream and the surrounding Cotswolds are wonderful! The barn itself is spacious with ensuite bedrooms and plenty of living space! By and large it is well equipped but it feels a bit unloved That said, we had a terrific long weekend with family!

The house itself was comfortable and spacious but tired and needed a coat of paint throughout. The kitchen needed to have more cooking utensils, especially serving spoons and serving dishes, there was plenty of other cutlery. The outside of the house needed a brush up as plenty of leaves had congregated. Andy the manager was fantastic and extremely helpful, advising us of places of interest and where was best to visit. A basic welcome hamper would have been a nice touch, instead of just two bottles of beer between twelve.

10 of us aged 2 - 75 had a great time. The space was amazing allowing us to spread out and relax We particularly liked the two big tables and the amount of crockery, glassware etc

A warm welcome from Andy set the tone for a lovely week away with the extended family. Comfy beds, clean well equipped bathrooms. Huge living space downstairs, added bonus was the grand piano which the more musical members of the family enjoyed playing! Would love to return in the summer and be able to fully enjoy the outside space. Great for kids, ours are 3 years and up but not being able to close off the stairs or any of the downstairs rooms might be tricky with toddlers.

With six en-suite bedrooms, Waterhead Barn, was the ideal place to hold our Golden (50 years) Wedding Anniversary celebrations. Over the weekend our three sons together with their wives and our four grandchildren stayed with us. After they had left, our Best Man, Brother, Sister and their partners joined us for a further two nights. As others have previously mentioned, the barn is much bigger than it appears in the photos. The downstairs bedroom was ideal for our disabled guest but it would have been helpful to have a hand rail on the four steps leading down to the kitchen. Some of the bedding and towels were new but others especially the towels would benefit from being renewed in the near future. At first glance there seemed plenty of chinaware and cutlery but when there were 12 of us it became obvious that there were shortages in several items. Although the electric Aga was used on two occasions when we had arranged for private chefs to cook for us, we personally never used it as none of us had any experience of cooking on one. We therefore made good use of the two modern electric ovens, although one had a broken light bulb. We were some what surprised the separate hob only had two gas rings, the largest of which needed be held on for several minutes to heat up before it stayed alight by itself. It was good to have two fridge/freezers when catering for 12, although one would benefit from being defrosted and a new drawer fitted. The washing machine worked, although very noisy, as did the tumble drier. Although the furniture and floors were very clean, the inside walls of the barn would benefit with the use of a feather duster and perhaps a repaint in the near future. All in all we had a very good week in a large comfortable barn.

The house is stunning, and even bigger than it looks in the photos! It was a pleasure to cook in that gorgeous kit hen and sleep in those beautiful bedrooms. The living areas were spacious and comfortable and we easily managed to have 13 people sit down to eat at the tables for meals. Other than being a bit chilly at night and perhaps needing some new towels and bedding, the house was pretty perfect. It is obviously a remote location but that has pros as well as cons. Above all that, the service was outstanding. Andy was responsive and friendly from beginning to end, and made everything easier to arrange. We would definitely recommend Waterhead Barn and may even come back again in the future!
