Highgrove Barn Reviews

Great place for a family break. Spacious, with plenty of room for an extended family. Located down a narrow country lane surrounded by fields populated by sheep & horses. Great field opposite to exercise the dog. Painswick has a great pub the Oak which gets busy. The church and churchyard are worth a visit, yew trees are impressive. Barn is a little difficult to find my sat nav failed to find it. Luckily Nikki came out and found us and led us in. Might be a good idea to have some old fashioned written directions with land marks as the lane is easy to miss. Overall a great place.
Beautiful place. We loved it.
