The Hayloft at Newbarn Farm is a delightful, reverse-living holiday cottage in an idyllic setting at the heart of the Oxfordshire Cotswold countryside. This thoughtfully renovated barn is in a breath-taking and secluded location, with only the sight and sound of wildlife all around, yet it’s just 3 miles from Charlbury, 5 miles from Blenheim and Woodstock and 15 miles to Daylesford. Step out of the front door, down the wooden staircase and straight out into some of the most enchanting countryside and estate walks in the Cotswolds, including a 4-mile stroll to the pubs in Charlbury. The cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms, and has a family bathroom, an outside seating area and private parking for two cars.

Stunning little bijou cottage

My sister and I stayed at the Hayloft for 2 nights in order to visit Blenheim for Christmas.... the cottage was very comfortable, very cosy and warm... it was very clean, the bedrooms were a delight... i have marked down slightly on condition as the bathroom was a little dated.. other than that, it was excellent and i would not hesitate to recommend it.... the complex was beautifully maintained, the gardens stunning.... it is a shame the weather was not better BUT it was December!! We knew the area, it is a lovely place to stay.... the cottage was extremely private and quiet.... a real home from home for me as I live in a very rural setting with no neighbours in the Peak District.

The Hayloft at New Barn Farm is a beautiful place to stay, in a very peaceful and quiet rural location, but at the same close enough to many attractions and amenities. The Hayloft is very well appointed, and exceptionally comfortable - a perfect place to stay in a beautiful area.



Stayed in better places.

Location - good for where we needed to be in Oxfordshire. We think it is a bit too far out to use as a base for Cotswolds.
Accommodation- could do with upgrade on shower, beds and rugs
Cleanliness- my cleaner would get the cobwebs on the beams. Dead flies under furniture. No way to split waste into recycling in the accommodation.
Overall - average

Beautiful, very quiet and extremely charming cottage in ancient building with all modern conveniences. There are paths through the adjacent farmland, very few people around. Close to both Oxford and Cotswold towns. I do recommend that the host provide detailed written driving directions, as this property can not be found on Apple or Google maps. Also, if you have never been to the Cotswolds, the local roads are very narrow and scary to drive. Get a SMALL rental car to make it easier. But it is otherwise a perfect place to stay - We have done many vacation rentals, and this is the most unique and memorable!

We recently visited this lovely little cottage for a girly weekend away for my mum's 60th birthday. The cottage was cosy and perfect for our needs. The cottage is in a great location too. It's half an hour from Oxford, so great of you want to go shopping and also very close to Blenheim Palace. The owners live next door to the barn and are very friendly and welcoming.

Upside down accommodation, which meant the bedrooms stayed cool in hot weather. The water pressure for showering is a bit weak, and therefor quite difficult to wash your hair, having to lean backwards to catch the water. Its well appointed and everything there for an home from home stay. Its a quiet spot, plenty of walks and cycling opportunities on the doorstep. Close to blenheim castle and cotswold villages.

Hayloft Barn is a lovely cottage on a small farm which the kids adored. It was in a great location too.
