Perched on a private 17-acre hilltop estate and surrounded by thousands of acres of uninterrupted countryside, The Cotswold Barn is a secluded North Cotswolds retreat where time slows down.

Thoughtfully designed for families and friends seeking space, privacy and somewhere truly special, with country walks from the door and an amazing pub just a stroll away. Sleeps 8. The space The Cotswold Barn - A Hilltop Escape Set high on a quiet hilltop with uninterrupted views across the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire countryside, The Cotswold Barn is a private, design-led retreat made for relaxed stays, long meals and time properly spent together and exploring the Cotswolds. Sleeping up to eight across four calm, beautifully composed bedrooms, the barn is arranged entirely on one level. Inside, natural textures, soft tones and considered details create a sense of ease from the moment you arrive. At its heart, a generous open-plan space brings everything together - a handcrafted Olive & Barr kitchen with quartz island, a wood-burning stove for cooler evenings, and wide bi-fold double aspect doors that open fully onto the terraces, blurring the line between inside and out. Underfloor heating runs throughout, adding a quiet layer of comfort year-round. Outside, two terraces catch the light at different times of day - perfect for slow breakfasts, long lunches or sunset drinks as the landscape shifts around you. In the evening, move from the terrace to the Fire Pit and relax with the warmth and glow that it produces. With 17 acres of private grounds, there’s space, stillness and total privacy in every direction.
