The Hayloft is a stunning, three-bedroom Cotswold barn that’s oozes original, 1880’s characteristics and charm that are perfectly combined with the highest standard of 21st century amenities and furnishings. Once the actual hayloft to Postlip House, one of the grandest private homes in the Winchcombe area, this fabulous barn has been cleverly converted into a sumptuous holiday home with a breath-takingly gorgeous ensuite master bedroom, two luxury shower rooms, a fantastic open-plan kitchen and entertaining area and a superb patio with dining, relaxing and children’s play areas. The Hayloft is perfectly located to explore the historic town of Winchcombe and the north Cotswolds and enjoy the famously good walking in the area.

Perfect two day stay

Lovely accommodation in a stunning location. Great that we could walk directly from the property. It was also a bonus having fresh eggs available for breakfast.

The cottage is beautifully presented, a very good size with an open plan living space, perfect for a family gathering. The location is very quiet but close to Winchcombe which has a very good supermarket and shops. The countryside around is beautiful and there are some lovely walks in the area and around Sudely Castle. We will be visiting again. Thank you.

Thank you for a great 4 nights. We loved the Hayloft everything was immaculate looks a little bigger than the photos and was a great base for trips to Sudeley, Ross on Wye, Symonds Yat and Cotswold Wildlife Park.

Our girls loved the play equipment and spent every morning in the garden.

The eggs are 5*!

We will return next year. Thanks again

We found The Hayloft to be well laid-out and well equipped, very pleasantly situated in a convenient location. The outside seating area was great and we were lucky that the weather enabled us to make good use of it. There was plenty to see and do in the locality and enjoyable walking. Winchcombe made a good base as it is a proper (small) town, not a picture-postcard tourist trap.

An amazing stay with family at this lovely property. It had everything we needed and we particularly enjoyed the beautiful garden and fresh eggs from the chickens.
So peaceful and just a mile or so walk into Winchcombe via country paths.
We would love to come back.

We really enjoyed our time in the Hayloft. Beautifully presented, with high quality fixtures and fittings. The beds were really comfortable with sumptuous linen and towels. Abundant hot water, lovely showers and bath. My only comment would be that it would have been good to have more than 6 knives plates etc.

We had the best time staying at the Hayloft, the barn was fabulous, so clean, modern and tastefully designed.
We ate, drank, played games and treated ourselves to a private chef who cooked us the most amazing supper.
We only live a few miles away in the Cotswolds but it was a brilliant weekend away.
We will definitely go back, thank you to Lindsay for being so accommodating.

The Hayloft at Bolthole Retreats was such an incredibly lovely property to stay during a friend's wedding in the Cotswalds. It is kept up very nicely with clearly updated amenities. This particular cottage would be perfect for a family with young children as it even has a great yard space with a play structure! The entire property was absolutely stunning and just a short walk into town. I highly recommend it!

6 of us stayed at the Hayloft with a baby & dog. Perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds. Set in lovely grounds with great private outdoor area. Found great walks on the all trails app from the doorstep. Lovely pubs bakeries and places to eat in Winchcombe and only 30 mins from Cheltenham and Bourton On The Water. Would highly recommend!

What a wonderful stay at the Hayloft! The property was of very high standard. A real luxury stay from the decor, furnishings to amenities and comfort. Location was ideal and we popped into Winchcombe to browse around the shops, have tea and cake, visit the Castle and museum was well worth a visit to see the meteorite that landed in 2021! We ate at Michelin star restaurant 'Five' on the High Street which was second to none! The chef and staff went above and beyond to make our experience very special and the food was exquisite!

Superb weekend family break at this stunning property minutes from Winchcombe High Street.

Set behind private gates, this quirky ‘loft’ was spotlessly clean on arrival with top end fixtures, fittings and appliances throughout.

Lovely garden patio/play area if you stay here during the summer as well, too cold for us at the start of March unfortunately!

Pleased to say no negatives at all, but worth noting it is somewhere you need to drive to/from each time you go out, it’s close to Winchcombe but too far to walk (for us anyway!)

Great base to explore Cotswolds, 30-35 minutes max from all the popular towns.

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here.

The Hayloft was a lovely place to stay, everything about it was to a high level and I have nothing negative to say!
Lots of information was provided in advance, which was really helpful.
I would thoroughly recommend staying here.

We had a fabulous time at the Hayloft. Well equipped and nicely designed space. Beautifully appointed and in a lovely countryside setting.

Only a couple of little negatives to note:
Some of the party did find the sofa a little uncomfortable - as the cushions are angled down making it feel as if you are going to slide off.
For the cost of the stay we were expecting a few more essentials to be provided such as shampoo, shower gel, more kitchen towel etc.
More than one set of cutlery and crockery would be recommended, especially when only two dishwasher tablets were left for our use. As a party of 6 who like to cook and entertain it was challenging.
The pepper mill was empty and the milk element of the coffee machine did not work.

Niggles aside we would certainly return!



Fabulous stay!

We had a wonderful time staying at the hayloft with my in laws, my husband and daughter and two dogs. It’s beautifully done and everything looks new and of such a high quality. Everything was well thought out throughout the accommodation and plenty of space for all of us. We are regular visitors to the Cotswolds and this is the nicest place we have stayed! I’m sure we will be back at some point.

We booked a weekend away at the Hayloft to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a perfect location to explore the area. The accommodation had everything we could need as well as a lovely walk straight from the front door! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely property, very spacious and has everything you would need. Lovely little extras to make it special and so peaceful.
One thing we would make a note of, the main gate into the property is very very stiff and a few times we struggled a lot. This would need looking at. Other than that, it was a perfect stay!

Hi, thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed The Hayloft so much. We have passed your note about the gate on to the owner so that they can have that looked at it - possibly had swollen itnhe heat. Best wishes, Bolthole Retreats

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Hayloft. It is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. We cooked several meals; the kitchen was well equipped and definitely a wonderful space to work in. We intended to do some Cotswold Way walking and were so pleased that the trail system was easily accessible nearby. Highly recommend this great property!
