The Hay Barn Reviews

Elaine
Absolutely gorgeous property. Beautiful and restful with a great hot tub. Very clean and extremely well cared for. Would highly recommend. The owner has gone above and beyond....cannot praise it enough.
The Hay Barn is a beautiful property as a base to explore Cotswolds. It is very peaceful and private. We particularly loved the outdoor space including the hot tub. The kitchen is superb and very well equipped. The only small issue was the lack of a wardrobe in the downstairs bedroom. We utilised the coat stand to hang our clothes on.
This was a brilliant stay this is a Dog Friendly place. .the host is very warm and welcoming she had provided us with a complimentary basketand the Doggie Biscuit Reggie lovedthe property is stunning to say the least we had a lovely time we used the bbq quiet a lot as it was very sunny.. the horses were an added bonus they were incredibly quiet She recommended the near by tea room for breakfast we went there everyday its superb it was called the fair view Gardener.. We would definitely comeback and have already recommended to friends and family Thankyou Sharon and family With love Ruth,Mike,Chris,Lisa and Reg the Cockapoo
Michelle
Gorgeous barn, will plenty of space for 4 adults plus a dog. The barn is maintained to a very high standard and is very comfortable. The master bedroom is fantastic, and my husband did say he would kill for a bedroom like it. We enjoyed a very peaceful stay, and would definitely go back.
Kerrie
The Hay Barn is an absolute gem of a place, one of the best places weve stayed with Sykes. Beautiful setting, great host and everything you need for a relaxing week. Perfect for the dog too.
Lovely cottage in a beautiful place. Very relaxing and peaceful, with very friendly horses as perfect neighbours. Nicely presented and stocked with everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.
I cant speak highly enough of Sharon and the Hay Barn. Whilst the photos are excellent, they do not do the Hay Barn justice. It is a beautifully decorated space. You want for absolutely nothing and there are different areas to sit outside. This was welcomed during the May heat wave. The hot tub and bar area is lovely and a great space to relax. Sharon was an excellent host and even brought us a fan to help cool the property. It was enjoyed by all of us and our dog, who thoroughly enjoyed all of the extras that Sharon provided for him. We will definitely be back! J.
Sandra
The Hay Barn is the perfect location for a lovely relaxing holiday. The accommodation was superb with well thought out details. Great place for beautiful countryside walks, so lovely to see the horses at close range, we certainly weren't disappointed in any way.
Great property, great facilities, great location, we had a very enjoyable stay, thanks.
Damian
The Hay barn is all it says it is an more The facilities are top notch. Sharon really has thought of everything. From stylish bedrooms to a cocktail bar to doggy treats. No stone has been left unturned. Great location to hit Gloucester, Hereford, an Oxford. So you really cant get the best out off your Cotswolds experience. With are busy lifestyles these days the Haybarn can truly help you unwind a chill out. Certainly did for us ! Weve already recommended the hay barn to our friends Brilliant
Alison
Lovely property that had everything we needed and more, I dont think the pictures show how fabulous the Hay Barn is. Sharon, the owner, was very helpful and explained everything we needed to know on arrival. We loved the tranquility of the property with the horses next to us in the fields. The hot tub was great and we made use of the BBQ a couple of times. The Red Lion, Huntley does a fabulous Sunday lunch too. Enjoyed it so much that we are looking to rebook for next year.
Sophie
The Hay Barn was beautiful! Immaculately decorated and very well equipped with everything you need for a break away. It was nice that it's on its own, so you feel like you're not overlooked at all. Only slight downsides for us were the pillows are extremely soft, but that's personal preference. It was also very hot at night and we couldn't cool the room down. Overall a great find and we'll definitely be back, just with our own pillows
Samantha
The Hay Barn is a superb property. It has been thoughtfully converted to the highest standard and with no detail overlooked. From the very well equipped kitchen, beautiful bedrooms, and carefully curated furnishings to the covered hot tub space and immaculately maintained grounds, the stunning property is matched by the very warm welcome from Sharon, who met us on arrival and ensured that we had all the information we needed for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. Highly recommended!!
Teresa
Absolutely stunning accommodation with added touches above & beyond your normal stay . Perfume, Foil, Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar, Candles, Dog bedstoysnibbles.. aside from cosy comfortable furnishings. Great views, handy walk to a beautiful garden centre & tearooms with the dog.

A wonderfully, well appointed, super comfortable property. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Sharon was a welcoming host. The property is fabulously designed. The decor is stylish & the property is well so well equipped we wish we were staying longer. The beds are comfortable & the private, quiet setting is so lovely. We would happily recommend to friends and return for another stay.
Absolutely faultless property. Everything you need. Great location. Lovely local pubs snd walks. Comfortable beds and bathrooms. Outdoor space is amazing. Hot tub a bonus. Super dog friendly. Welcome basket very much appreciated. We will be back! X
We had a wonderful stay at the hay barn! It was lovely and clean, great location for Gloucester, Forest of Dean and Cheltenham! Great walks around the hay barn to take our mini schnauzer out for his morning walks! Hot tub was fabulous, amenities were great, TVs with all the apps and the welcome basket was a lovely surprise. Sharon met us and showed us everything we needed to know for a carefree relaxing stay! Would definitely recommend
Beautiful property with everything thought of inside and out. So comfortable and so much attention to detail. Lovely to see the photos on the stairs of the different stages of renovation.
Absolutely stunning conversion. Couldnt fault it. The horses made us so welcome, as did Sharon.
Wonderful 5 days stay, great location and amazing accommodation. Sharon, our host kept nice communication throughout our stay . Everything we needed was in the accommodation and the basket on arrival was an unexpected and welcome treat. Would highly recommend if you wish to explore the cotswolds and Bath.
Justin

Great place to stay for exploring local areas as well as the perfect place to relax and unwind , from the gorgeous horses which are so friendly to the fabulous hot tub which we spent every night in , this is a wonderful retreat and we would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of staying here.
Just what we needed from a break away at the hay barn. It was just perfect. Sharon the host has done a wonderful job with this place. Absolutely immaculate inside, comfortable and peaceful. Everything and more was provided even treats for the dog Location is great with the Forest of Dean just round the corner, Bourton on the water isnt that far either plus plenty of lovely walks to go on. The tea room that Sharon recommended to us 1010. Cannot wait to stay again
Jennison
The Hay Barn was exactly what we wanted for a break away. It is immaculate throughout and done to a very high standard. Everything was thought of, we especially liked the personal touches, treats and dog bed for our dog and treats for us too! Cannot fault anything and would highly recommend, we are already planning a return.
Great contact by property owner. Lovely property and had everything you needed. Easy to find, great directions and signage. Tried one recommendation for breakfast and we were really impressed. But to be honest the rental was so nice we were happy to stay in.
Wonderful job at bringing an old barn back to life and beautifully restored by owners who are on site. Perfect for 2 bedroom stay with loads of space and everything was immaculate
We have a lovely relaxing stay despite the weather. The outdoor area is a bonus when the weather is not good. The main bedroom and ensuite is amazing. Great location, with plenty of tearooms, farm shop, pub restaurants and places to explore that are dog friendly. We would definitely recommend and would love to visit again.
Outstanding property, thoughtfully and intuitively managed to the highest of standards. We and our son loved every minute of our stay af the Hay Barn and appreciated all of the many, many touches that made it special. The horses were adorable and hugely entertaining. We hope to return and there are very few places that make us feel like that.
Amazing barn! Luxury finish, the best bedroom Ive ever slept in!! Beautiful setting, well equipped, attention to detail, and a super friendly host who came to greet us and was on hand with any questions. I almost dont want to share a review because I want to make sure its available for next year!! Will 110 be back and hope to book a full week next time!
We had a wonderful stay at the Hay Barn, Thank you Sharon for your hospitality and excellent local knowledge finding us some great things to do! We had our two cocker spaniels with us, it is super dog friendly with walks straight from the barn. Great location to explore both the Cotswolds and Forest of Dean would 100 recommend and we will certainly be back.
I'd like to say that the place was awful, poorly maintained and the host was a nightmare so that no one would book it and we can return again whenever we wanted to ! ! However...... The place was wonderful perfect to retreat and unwind from the world for a few days. The barn itself is just wonderful, high spec and has everything you would need and was very clean. Lovely outdoor space under cover so that even if the weather isn't great you can sit outside, read, eat and drink. Would highly recommend...just not on the weeks I want to return !!
