Flowers Barn is a beautifully converted detached grade 11 listed Cotswold stone barn, still boasting many original features throughout. Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, between Duntisbourne Rouse and Duntisbourne Leer. The name is taken from the River Dunt which flows through the village, and also from monks at the Abbey of Gloucester who controlled the area in the 13th century. Flowers Barn is adjacent to the owners’ working farmhouse and occupies a beautiful countryside setting.

Built mainly in the time of Charles II, Flowers Barn was once home to aspiring writer and farm owner Eliza in the early 18th century. Eliza came to inherit 420 acres of land from her father, rather than one of her four brothers and dedicated her life to the farm. She was a very bright and keen horsewoman, who was the first in the area to own a bicycle and a gas cooker. Eliza worked on the farm up until she died in 1901.

This is a perfect place to stay when in the Cotswolds, being just a 10-minute drive from the historic Roman town of Cirencester and 20 20-minute’ drive from Cheltenham and its famous horse racing festival in March each year. There are plenty of walks and cycle routes for active guests, and this is a very central position from which to visit the many beautiful towns and villages of the Cotswolds, including Bourton-on-the-Water, Bibury, Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Campden. Both Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon are also a convenient drive away.

The accommodation provides upside-down living with the bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor and the living room and kitchen on the first floor. Outside there is a well-kept front garden with a seating area and garden furniture. There is a driveway offering off-road parking and a bike store can be made available should guests wish to bring their bikes to leave the car behind and explore the area. Well-behaved dogs with thoughtful owners are welcome. Shop 4 miles, pub and restaurant 3 miles.
