The place is lovely an it’s so fun staying centrally in Cirencester. Only issue is parking, costly in the overnight car park for however many nights you stay. 2 lovely bedrooms and a spacious apartment.

This was our 2nd stay at The Barley Apartment and it was so lovely to return. Since our last stay 6 months ago secondary glazing had been fitted which made a huge difference to early morning deliveries outside, we really didn't hear anything. We love the comfort, décor and attention to detail at the apartment, it is so comfortable. Situated in such a great spot, we couldn't want for more. We are already planning when we can stay again.

We recently enjoyed a long weekend at this property for a birthday celebration, and the experience was truly faultless. The Accommodation The apartment is elegantly presented and impeccably clean. It is fully equipped with high-quality amenities, including a washing machine, dishwasher, hairdryer, and a comprehensive selection of kitchenware. Situated above a tranquil courtyard in the center of town, the location offers the convenience of having everything on your doorstep. As the property is a beautiful listed building, the characteristic uneven floors and steps to the entrance are to be expected; we found these original features only added to the authentic charm of the stay. Notably, despite the proximity to popular pubs and restaurants, the streets remained remarkably peaceful in the evenings and throughout the early morning, with the town only beginning to stir around 9:30 AM. Local Amenities & Exploration The property serves as an ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds, and we visited Castle Combe and Bibury, both of which were stunning. Closer to home, we enjoyed several local highlights: Knead Bakery: Located directly downstairs, the hosts kindly provided a £10 gift card—a generous and much-appreciated gesture. The Local Butcher: Also situated downstairs, this was our preferred source for fresh breakfast provisions. Dining & Markets: The local market and a variety of excellent pubs are all within a ten-minute walk. A Welcoming Community The local community is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. As we were traveling with our dog, we were pleased to find the area incredibly dog-friendly, with a specialized pet food shop located just a five-minute walk away. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic, convenient, and beautiful Cotswold experience. We’d go back in a heartbeat!
