Barns Lee is a gorgeous barn conversion, which thanks to its sensitive design, is now a secluded and stylish space, perfectly suited to modern living. The origins of the barn date back to the 1880s and many original features remain. There is charm and character in abundance with stone floors, oak beams, wood burning stoves and exposed Cotswold stone walls, whilst modern influences sit comfortably alongside with a superb, super-sociable kitchen and dining space, a light-filled garden room, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Outside, is equally as impressive, with a south-facing, sheltered garden surrounded by mature trees. The lower part of the garden boasts a heated swimming pool* for fun-filled summer days and tucked in alongside the house there’s a hot tub** too. Barns Lee welcomes a maximum of seven adults.

What a fabulous barn - finished to a very high standard, but still managed to have that "homely" feel. Annual gathering of friends, we all loved it. Would definitely recommend and book again.

Just one comment in relation to information about check in/out was a little confusing from Boltholes - easily fixed though.

We had a wonderful week at Barns Lee, hot weather so we enjoyed the pool.
The house is spacious and well equipped to a high standard.
We saw a deer by the apple tree and we enjoyed the beautiful large garden and peaceful setting.

I stayed for three nights at Barns Lee with my family celebrating my 40th birthday. The house is lovely and I chose it for its facilities - the swimming pool and hot tub which did not disappoint. The swimming pool was heated and I was impressed with how warm it actually was! As we had a toddler with us they also provided a high chair, cot and stair gate which was so handy (there are quite a few stairs leading to the upstairs bedrooms so the stair gate was very welcomed).

I had booked the property nearly a year in advance and the process for booking (with Bolthole Retreats) and the communication in between was brilliant, as they were very efficient and helpful.

If you’re looking for a getaway in a big house (with a great big kitchen) with beautiful grounds, plenty of space for family/friends then I would recommend. You definitely need a car to get around (there is no pavement along the road to walk), and there are no shops close by, but Tetbury and Malmesbury are not far (we had arranged a supermarket shop to be delivered for our arrival which did the job). We also were able to fit 3 cars on the driveway in front of the house which was helpful.

Barn Lees is a beautiful house in a perfect location, a totally private garden with spacious ground floor accommodation and a well equipped kitchen. We all enjoyed the facilities of the swimming pool and hot tub.

The house was clean but not spotless, a lot of cobwebs and a blocked shower waste. The limited supply of one toilet roll per bathroom, only one pillow per person per bed and bath towels not bath sheets were not generous in our opinion given the rental price. A tin opener would be a useful gadget to have in the kitchen as well as a coffee machine (as advertised on Bolthole Retreats website) a cafetière was provided.

Overall we had a wonderful stay.

Great house in a great location. We had a very happy multi-generational weekend. Everyone especially loved the pool, which was well used despite the rain.

As friends living far apart from each other a get-together is always an important date on the calendar, Barns Lee didn't disappoint, beautiful property with a hot tub and heated pool ( check dates for access to the pool ). We sat in the sun in October!! Spacious accommodation, great for just spending time together. The surrounding countryside was fab for walks as well.
