Barebones Farm is a 7-bedroom (sleeps 14), 4-bathroom, dog friendly, character Cotswold home in the centre of picturesque Winchcombe that’s ideal for large families or groups of friends. The property has an en-suite ground floor bedroom, ideal for guests with mobility restrictions. Once a farm now a family home, Barebones Farm is a stone’s throw from award-winning pubs, restaurants and shops, and a short stroll to the Cotswold Way and River Isbourne. The spacious open-plan ground floor area is perfect for entertaining as a large group, while a separate snug with a wood burner and the TV/media room are ideal for quiet relaxation or more lively entertainment. A large patio completes the house providing a great outside dining space framed by a pretty quarter-acre landscaped garden and private parking for up to 5 cars.

It is our policy not to take bookings for single sex group celebrations, which includes Stag and Hen nights, or groups where the majority are under 25 years

A wonderful stay at Barebones Farm

We had the most amazing short break at Barebones Farm with our extended family. The property is very spacious but still cosy, the owners have thought of everything. The kitchen and bathrooms are all lovely and the house spotless. The weather whilst we were there was dreadful but it just meant we spent more time in this fabulous house which was such a treat .

Barebones Farm is spacious and well equipped.
The beds are comfortable and all showers are powerful and hot.
The location is excellent for walking, we did not need to use our cars at all other than to drive to Cheltenham Park Run.
We were lucky with the weather but there is a well stocked games cupboard and dvd collection in case of rainy days.
We would definitely consider going again.

Excellent property, good places to eat close by. We took our 2 small dogs as dogs were allowed. My only reservation about this property is that dogs are allowed but it is not dog friendly although the garden is secure.

An exceptionally well equipped, clean and comfortable home. Our 4th visit and the house was as fresh and clean as we found it the first time. The garden is very private and a lovely safe space for children to play in. The location is so convenient for a short walk to a children's playground, and all other village amenities. Perfect for a large family group to relax and enjoy time together, with no need to go beyond Winchcombe. .

We came to stay at Barebones farm as it was my daughter’s wedding and we needed a place large enough for all the family plus a few of the bridesmaids! We had an excellent stay. The house was beautifully clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed the bright conservatory room as a place to sit and enjoy views of the fabulous large garden. Comfy beds with lovely bedding. The location is right in the heart of Winchcombe so easy walking to all the local shops and amenities and also to the castle. The hosts were very welcoming and allowed us early check in so we had enough time to prepare ourselves for the big day. I thoroughly recommend.

Barebones farm is quite simply, perfect. 14 members of our family stayed for a weekend in August in 2024, and had a wonderful break thanks to the spacious living areas, comfortable beds, ample bathrooms, and all the facilities you'd require. The house is in the perfect location, a short walk from several pubs, restaurants and shops. Not only that, it is a 20/30 minute drive to all the attractions, including Bourton on the Water, and Stow on the Wold. However, what really made Barebones Farm incredible for us, was the garden, which is a wonderful size for dogs, and children alike to play in, while the huge outdoor seating area provided adults the perfect place to relax in the sun. Inside, there is a snug for teenagers to retreat to, and downstairs a double bedroom with an ensuite for elderly relatives to stay. On top of all this, Barebones Farm was extremely clean, well maintained, and had literally everything you could possibly think of in terms of kitchen equipment, BBQ, towels, washing machine, dryer, iron, you name it, it was there. Overall, Barebones gave us the feeling that we were staying at a friends home, rather than a rental property, and it instantly felt like we'd be visiting for years. If you're looking for a home in the Cotswolds to house a large group, look no further, Barebones Farm is about all good as it gets, and we will certainly be returning in the years to come.

Barebones was exactly what we wanted for get together (3 families, 13 people from 4 to 76). It had enough combinations of beds for everyone and enough space to get away from each other when we needed! The children loved the space, the garden, the teddies and all the books and toys. Everything was spotless and there was enough of everything to not have to keep washing up. We appreciated the welcome drinks and biscuits and the way Liz kept in touch with us beforehand. It was just great.

Barebones Farm was a great place to stay for our family get together - great accommodation and within walking distance of all amenities. Communication was good. Liz even messaged me about roadworks in the area to assist in our journey. The only minor thing was that the house was cold on arrival but it quickly warmed up when the radiators were turned on. Would definitely recommend

We were a family group of 14 and had a great three days together celebrating New Year. The property was exactly as described and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the best features was being able to sit all 14 of us around the dining table. It was in the centre of Winchcombe so ideal for local pubs and restaurants without having to use the car. I would definitely recommend.

Our family Christmas at Barebones Farm was wonderful. The house is perfect for a large group. The extremely well equipped kitchen was ideal for preparing our Christmas meals and being in the center of Winchcombe meant we had plenty of choices for eating out too. The location is great with access to amazing walks right from our front door. I thoroughly recommend Barebones Farm.

Our large group stayed at Barebones Farm and were very pleased with the accommodations. It’s a lovely property with a beautiful garden and well-appointed rooms. The conservatory was a particularly inviting place to relax. Our only regret was that our hectic schedule kept us from fully enjoying everything the property had to offer. Liz, the owner, was more than willing to satisfy our requests and bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at BF again.

We stayed here Friday - Sunday and had a great weekend in this lovely cottage in a beautiful English town. Property was ideal for us as a small group of friends coming from all over South of England. Garden was immaculate and we spent most time here but the kitchen/dining area was also really impressive. Had everything we needed, loads of bathrooms and we could also have some time to ourselves when we needed it.

Would definitely recommend this cottage to others!

We booked this Property to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary with our Family.
It did not dissappoint. Bedrooms and bathrooms were all lovely and full of character with comfy beds.
So much downstairs space for our small grandchildren to enjoy and the garden is just beautiful.
Very well equipped kitchen with everything we needed and a much used Dishwasher.
Great location to walk out to Shops and Pubs in Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle 5 minutes away.
Customer Service was excellent. Hope to return again sometime.

Our family party of 14 (8 adults, 6 children) had a wonderful Easter weekend and also celebrated a 70th birthday at Barebones. It is ideal for a large group and we really loved the conservatory area leading off the kitchen. The large dining table accommodated us all and the garden is delightful, full of Spring flowers and ideal for the children's Easter Egg hunt. Location is excellent with everything on the doorstep from food shops, pubs and wonderful countryside walks, as well as Sudeley Castle. Despite being in the middle of the village and fronting the road, it was very peaceful. The ground floor bedroom could do with a chest of drawers/dressing table, but the bed was extremely comfortable and the shower excellent. A shaving light over the basin would be useful. We also appreciated having two sitting rooms so that the children used one for TV and playing, while the adults could read quietly in the other. The dressing up box was great fun and there is a great selection of books and games. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. Our 6ft 4in son-in-law did hit his head on one of the upstairs beams so watch out if you are tall, and the two bedrooms on the top floor are really best for children, not for adults. However, we loved the character of the place and its sense of history and it was a superb base for the family which we all loved. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Barebones Farm was a perfect house for our large gathering. Plenty of comfortable spaces and homely furnishings. A fantastic, well-equipped kitchen with the conservatory and dining room all joining up became the hub for our family.
A great position within walking distance of all the shops in Winchcombe and we all enjoyed exploring the walks around Sudeley Castle.
We were blessed with sunny January weather but I can imagine this would a fantastic place to stay in the summer with its large garden and patio for eating outside.

We booked this house for a family birthday weekend. It was such a lovely property and location, that it made our weekend more special. It had everything we could have needed, with different places to sit if we did not want to all be together. The garden was so beautiful and sitting out on the patio was nice, weather permitting. The beds were comfortable and quality linen and towels provided.

We were a multigenerational family staying at Barebones, celebrating missed time together & all the family birthdays missed during the last 2 years. We had a lovely time in this spacious,unique property. Liz & Steve are such nice hosts, so kind & helpful, we appreciated the welcome goodies!
The location is a quieter base to explore the Cotswolds from & ideal for the Steam Railway.
We loved the garden, the kitchen, the conservatory & dining room...such great communal areas to meet up in. The property is indeed, quite magical, ideal for extended family celebrations, so well equipped for all generations.

What a fantastic venue for a large family celebration for an 80th birthday. Twelve guests, ranging from 10 to 80 years all loved the farmhouse and had a great time. Lots of space for everyone, with comfortable areas for relaxing inside and out. Incredibly well equipped for self catering but easy to walk out for food and drink, with lots of local options. Very comfortable beds and good showers. Owners were really helpful but not intrusive. Looking for the next opportunity to come back already!

Excellent cottage for our family group of 14 people and 4 generations. Lovely garden which was safe and enclosed for the toddlers and dog. The kitchen is very sensibly equipped for family meals with plenty of serving dishes and cooking utensils, all in good condition. One of the showers was a bit poor, but all appliances were in good working order. We had a lovely week.

I have stayed previously with friends and a young family so knew the property. This time we were a group of8 who came down for a working away trip in Cheltenham. Barebones is just what we needed with it being so comfortable and so many quality amenities right on our doorstep. Winchcombe is a lovely town with plenty of decent pubs and restaurants meaning we did not have to venture out in taxis anywhere - if you did there is no lack of good places to go within 15/20 mins.The owner Liz was excellent communicating with me and I am very much looking forward to returning next year.

We booked Barebones Farm to celebrate my father's 88th birthday. Our family group of 14 ranged in age from 2 to 88 and we were all delighted with it. My father, who has poor mobility, loved the ground floor bedroom, and wet room, and the cosy snug where he retreated for a snooze but still felt part of the goings-on. The rest of us mostly hung out in the fabulous kitchen-conservatory-dining area, eating, drinking and playing family games (including a bit of dressing up in all the funny hats in the dressing up cupboard!) With so many of us, we decided to go completely self-catered, which was a great choice given that the kitchen is so spacious and well-equipped. We even played a bit of toddler football in the garden and saw an albino squirrel! Just 100 metres from the front door is the White Lion pub, which found room for us all to have a free-dinner drink and we went for a lovely walk to Sudeley Castle's parklands. All in all a great experience and hoping to stay again in the summer.

We had a fantastic family gathering at Barebones Farm. The house and garden are beautiful and perfect for a get together.

The dinning table is huge and great for a big family meal and the social areas are also big and great for everyone to sit around talking.

The location is also brilliant, with some lovely towns and villages nearby. There are also quite a few restaurants, cafes and pubs.

A lovely house, fully equipped and in a superb location. Information provided was both accurate and helpful with access to the owners if necessary.A lovely small town with lots of independent retailers, four pubs and several takeaways.
Altogether a fantastic week in a lovely place.

Beautiful characterful home, lovely homely feel, very clean and felt comfortable there from the moment we arrived.
Garden beautiful too, we all enjoyed spending time out there.
The conservatory was brilliant for the rainy times.,
Location perfect, with such easy access to the pubs and shops, and to the many fantastic walks.
Overall we would highly recommend Barebones and would love to return one day.

We feel very lucky to have found Barebones at such short notice (our planned holiday abroad had to be cancelled due to Covid-19). The property had been very well cleaned, was well equipped and well maintained. We had lovely weather and spent most of our time on the large patio or playing in the beautiful, well tended garden. The large kitchen and conservatory space allowed us all to be together. We met the owner who genuinely cares that her guests have everything they need. Bolthole Retreats were great to deal with - answering my queries very promptly. Winchcombe and the surrounding area are beautiful with lots to do. Thank you for a lovely week.

We came to stay for a Hen do and found the house to be perfect! The kitchen was very well stocked with various utensils and each of the rooms had a cosy feel. The conservatory area was perfect for relaxing and we even saw a white squirrel in the garden. The owners were lovely and helpful. We all said we would happily come back!

Barebones Farm in Winchcombe was clean and spacious with beautifully appointed bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms for everyone to use, a lovely dining area and a very well equipped large kitchen. Winchcombe is the perfect place to stay if you enjoy walking, dining out and shopping... it has something for everyone! My friends and I definitely want to revisit both Winchcombe and Barebones Farm and have no hesitation in recommending both! A big 'Thank you', too, to Liz who went out of her way to help get an urgent message to one of our party.

We recently enjoyed a fabulous family get together at Barebones.
Everyone had a great time from the dogs, who enjoyed the walks, the grandchildren who loved dressing up,
the parents who loved entertaining, and the rest of us who simply relaxed.
Ample room for everyone to find their own space.

Oh the unexpected guest ! You might be lucky enough to spot him in the beautiful gardens.
He regularly dropped in while we were there.
The white squirrel !



Fabulous property for a get together of old friends.

We hired Barebones Farm for our annual get together of old university friends. The whole group of 8 was delighted with the accommodation. It is extremely well appointed, clean, comfortable and characterful. It is very well located in the centre of Winchcombe, with an excellent pub (The Lion) on the same street and plenty of good walks nearby, some of them beginning from our doorstep. The garden is large, attractive and well maintained. We will probably return next year. Highly recommended.
