Lying deep in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside, with trees, rolling fields and fluffy sheep as far as the eye can see, Spring Barn is a delightful, dog-friendly barn conversion offering peace and tranquillity by the bucket load. Sitting at the end of a private drive, this glass and stone barn melds seamlessly into its rural surroundings and offers glorious views over the Swere Valley. The simple yet stylish design ensures it is a charming base to explore from, with Chipping Norton, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Woodstock within touching distance. Alternatively, it could also be the perfect retreat to hunker down and escape real life…just for a little while.

Super quiet out away from anything. Big sky and frosty mornings.

Really good communication prior to our stay - and the place had been opened up and the heating turned on before we arrived. Definitely use what 3 words to find the accommodation, easier than Google Maps we found.
Some tourist information supplied. Full kitchen.
Steepish narrow stairs to the bedrooms (all upstairs), so could potentially be an issue for elderly. Flagstones at the door also a little slippery when icy. No issues for us, but provided as information for less steady travellers.
Nice to have the chance to relax in front of a fire, though more kindling/intermediate-sized wood would have helped get it going.

Nice to be a bit away from the usual towns to stay in. Obviously requires own transport to get there and to get around from there. A good base for us for our short stay in the Cotswalds. Would stay again.



Lovely peaceful setting

We stayed at the barn in November, it was very clean, location was perfect. Very quiet and relaxing stay. Gorgeous fireplace. Lots of wildlife around and great location for visiting Chipping Norton.



Great house in the middle of a beautiful field

We were looking for a calm and relaxing holidays in the countryside with our kids and we had a lovely stay. We were sorrounded with sheeps and my kids loved to be outside everyday running around and exploring. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was big enough to cook almost every night and had dinner with the family. The only thing I would suggest is to have a microwave, it would be very useful, especially with kids when you need to warm up milk etc…
I would highly recommend this place and even though it is a bit isolated it is ideal for someone who wants to have time to disconnect.

Great location for exploring the Cotswolds. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by lovely countryside, with pubs and a decent village shop just a short distance away in Hook Norton. It's a beautiful property, generally finished and maintained to a high standard. The only downsides were a lack of a microwave in the kitchen and the beds in second bedroom were a little on the hard side.



An excellent stay.

We stayed at Spring Barn for two weeks.
My wife had just had an operation to repair a broken ankle and the owners of the property were kind enough to bring down a bed from upstairs. The property is perfectly situated for exploring the Cotswolds while being a haven of peace and quiet.
Chipping Norton is a ten minute drive away. We will be back!

Excellent location with walks straight from the door. Comfy bed and sofas, and lovely under floor heating!
In need of some attention in the kitchen and garden area.

The tap in the kitchen was very loose and there was a no cockscrew or bakeware. Lack of large glasses as well.

The TV has no access to anything apart from Netflix, no terrestrial channel access which was not stated in the description

We spent a relaxing 4 days at Spring Barn, the location couldn't be better, plenty of silence and privacy but only a short walk, if you are feeling energetic, to Hook Norton and all its amenities. A trip to the brewery is a must and we can highly recommend the Sun Inn for friendliness, a great welcoming atmosphere and great fish and chips.
Spring Barn itself was lovely, very clean and just the place to put your things down, flop on the sofa and relax.
Only disappointing thing was we were looking forward to a cup of tea when we arrived but there was no fresh milk in the fridge, something listed as part of the welcome pack, however we did find someone's bag of potatoes in one of the kitchen drawers. This small oversight would not stop us returning though, we really enjoyed our stay.

Overall a good property in a lovely location. Kitchen is a little tired and there was a shortage of implements, bring your own corkscrew, foil, and kitchen roll. Aside from this, the property is perfect for a short stay.

Completely secluded with far reaching views. A fabulous fire, great heating and a comfortable bed with all the mod cons. Perfect for escaping for a few days and enjoying the isolation.

Loved our stay at this property, views were beautiful and the place clean. Very quiet location. Liked the fact that we were secluded, we didn’t want the standard type of accommodation with other guests close to us. The property has underfloor heating downstairs which was very useful in winter. It was also well insulated as we have below zero temperatures outside. Was so nice to have treats left for us as well upon arrival, very thoughtful. We would definitely return. Thank you

An absolutely beautiful house and beautiful location. We had a really lovely stay and loved waking up to the countryside views and endless walks. Easily walkable to lovely Hook Norton on footpaths.

We had two small issues, one was with the cleanliness of the house - when we arrived there was mouse droppings in the kitchen cupboards. The other, the heating was completely off before arrival and as the heating is underfloor heating, it takes a very long time to heat up, therefore it was really very cold for the first evening at the house. We contacted the house keeper and her service was excellent, she came straight out and rectified the issue with the mouse droppings so no complaints there.

We would definitely stay again as the house is just stunning. Our dogs and family loved it.

Stayed for 3 nights. Fantastic location in the middle of fields but close enough to major town like chipping Norton. It is a bit remote and you will definitely need a car. The last bit to the cottage is partially paved.

Cottage itself is Well furnished and comfortable with all the required items for a self catering stay. Would recommend a proper cutting knife and a dish scrub and a few extra firm pillows.

Layout is really good for a family or group of friends. We loved the loving area with its multiple sofas and center table - this was good for evening games and chilling.

Neighboring field has some animals which are friendly esp the horse!

Night time sky views are amazing! Definitely one that we will return too.

Idyllic situation surrounded by gorgeous country side, horses and sheep. Modern beautifully finished barn with lovely interior and modern kitchen. A couple of points to make it totally perfect. Kitchen could do with a few more trays for the oven and few more kitchen equipment. The hob, splashback and cooker hood were not totally clean but the housekeeper Nikki sorted it immediately was super helpful with the TV and left me a box of chocos. Bolthole Retreat you are lucky to have her. Super efficient.

Loved this place would stay forever
