Enjoyed our stay at the Rainbow Barns. The owner and family live on site and were very kind and helpful. It's a bit of a walk into Bourton on the Water and back as it's uphill. But oh so beautiful.

Rainbow Barns is a lovely cottage just outside of Bourton, so very peaceful. You can walk into Bourton across a field footpath in about 20 minutes during the day. There was a lovely outside decking area, where you could sit and listen to the birds. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom was a very good size. The kitchen had plenty of cupboards and workspace. There was a dining table and a breakfast bar too. There were several good sized sofas in the living room. We did not have a pet with us but it was well set up for pets too. The owners were very welcoming and we would definetely stay there again.

We loved our stay at Rainbow Barns. We left our kids with grandparents and took our dogs away for 2 nights. The cottage was exactly what we needed. Comfortable and spacious, well equipped and very dog friendly. The owners met us and showed us around. They were very friendly but left us alone for our entire stay. The location is just south of Bourton-on-the-water and easy enough to find. We liked being away from the hustle and bustle of the town, but when we did want to go in we were only a few minutes away. We would definitely consider staying again.

1st time in the Cotswolds for us and it didn’t disappoint. What a beautiful place. Rainbow barns was no exception a home from home accommodating 2 adults one 14yr old and our border collie. I was worried about talking the dog but I needn’t have been. There was toilet roll, kitchen roll, washing up liquid, a scourer, tea towel. Some tea coffee sugar (that I think was left over from previous guest) provided. Ample space in the undercounted Intergrated fridge with a top box freezing compartment. Powerful shower in bath. Clean fresh bedding and towels provided. Lovely 10 minute walk into bourton on the water via a public footpath down the side of the property. Steep hill back up on last part but doable and helps walk the cakes consumed in the village. There’s a co-op 5 min drive away if you do need anything.
Happy holidays

We had a great week staying at Rainbow Barn. On arrival we were greeted by Cliff who gave us the run through of things in the barn and the electric gates. Also gave advice of some things to see and do in the area.

The barn is very well appointed with everything you could need for your holiday. Its location is superb with Bourton on the Water literally just down the lane.

We highly recommend this accommodation and would definitely book it again.

The barn is nice but not properly clean. The bathroom and kitchen need lot of attention. Greasy equipment, limescale and mould.
I also think that charging £40 per day per dog it's a scandal. Overall it was ok but I would never pay such a high amount of money again.

Fabrizia from Twickenham stayed at Rainbow Barns for 2 nights in May 2023


StayCotswold replied more than 1 year ago
We’re sorry to hear that not everything was as expected for your stay at Rainbow Barns, Fabrizia and will share this feedback with the property owners. Regarding the value for your booking, I’ve noted that you had booked 2x nights from a Saturday and whilst we offer complete flexibility on a guests preferred arrival/departure days, we do advertise that for 2 nights or more, guests will achieve the optimum price if they select an arrival on a Monday or Friday. For example, the price would have been the same if you had of selected 2 or 3 nights from the Friday, instead of the Saturday due to the weekend booking slot that we offer.

Decided to visit Bourton on the Water for a week and very enjoyable it was.
Stay Cotswold and particularly Ella were very good in arranging everything.
Rainbow Barn is excellent.Close enough to walk to Bourton and close to Fosse Way to visit other town and villages.
The Barn is very well equipped,warm and cosy for winter visits.
Cliff and Lucy have provided everything you need for a relaxing break.We hope to return soon.

We had a lovely stay at Rainbow Barns! The location was perfect, close enough to the village to walk (about 20 mins) but far enough to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The accommodation itself was amazing, furniture, kitchen etc was all fairly new. I took a couple of points off for cleanliness as we found we needed to wash some of the dishes before using them, there was also a couple of cobwebs in corners of the rooms. I feel this is really picky in what was otherwise a lovely stay, and we did arrive at the cottage earlier than the advised check in, so the owner may not have completed the usual checks. Another area we felt could have been improved was the storage, there was a huge wardrobe with hanging space, however the draws provided were full of bed linen and extra towels. So no where to store anything that didnt need a coat hanger. Again i feel this is being really picky and an easy fix. These did not spoil our stay and we would recommend this cottage to friends and family.
