Owls Nest Barn - sleeps 9 guests in 4 bedrooms
About this cottage rental
Located in Stroud District, this lovely cottage for $553 per night is a great option for your next vacation. As you wend your way along the hedgerow-lined lanes leading to the quiet hamlet of Harescombe and Owls Nest, you will feel as though you are miles from anywhere. There are, however, a multitude of attractions within easy reach, and so although the setting is blissfully bucolic, everything you need is close at hand. The farmyard is a rural reminder of your location on this family farm, but within the pale Cotswold stone walls of the barn, you'll find a beautifully finished, warm, and welcoming place to stay. The rustic, covered courtyard provides a sheltered space for parking as well as an all-weather area to enjoy. The simple lines of the barn belie the attention to detail and as you step inside, you'll find a beautiful kitchen, dining area and a comfortable living room with a cosy log burner in one corner. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor, offering flexible sleeping arrangements. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and bathrooms. The style and décor are light and contemporary, offering a delightful, modern feel, in this most rural of locations. Outside space comes in the form of the clever use of the covered courtyard. There’s outside seating, a ping pong table and festoon lighting were you can relax with a drink after a day of exploring listening to the birds singing and the cows gently grazing across the lane. Keen fishermen and women will enjoy the easy access to the Harescombe Fisheries, which form part of the farm and sit at the top of the valley. There is covered parking for 4 cars. Ground Floor Guests enter through the covered courtyard and there are steps up from the decking to the door. Kitchen/Diner: Pale stone flooring and pale walls all add to the sense of light and space.

Living Room: The far end of the barn forms the living room which boasts windows on either side. Two plump sofas and a comfortable armchair provide plenty of seating, whilst in the corner is a wood-burning stove.

The property is very comfortable, modern and spotless. The provision of an outside table tennis table was a bonus.
The owners were very helpful, courteous and available though not interfering. The barn is on a working farm. The property is fully equipped with all you need. Would highly recommend this property.

We had a fantastic stay at Owls nest farm. The photos do not show how stunning this property is. it's very new, immaculate, done to such a high standard. Beds super comfy, high quality furniture. Showers excellent. Enough seating for everyone round a beautiful large kitchen table. Comfortable seating in loung for us all. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely welcome gifts, delicious homemade lemon drizzle, bread and milk. Table tennis was a hit in the courtyard under the old calf shed. Beautiful decking/sestubg area.perfect space for a friends catch up of 3 couples and 3 children. Great location to explore Cotswolds. It is a working farm which the children found very exciting. Outdoor space to play in courtyard but not enclosed to allow for parking. David and his family were very welcoming and communication was great. They even let us check out late which was greatly appreciated. We'd love to stay again.
