About this property

Combine Shed at Oosland Barns - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

The Combine Shed is a red brick barn that has been converted from an actual combine harvester shed into a cosy and comfortable, sleeps-4 holiday home that sits alongside the Cider House, another Oosland Barns holiday let. The cottage is set in a gravel courtyard at the centre of a working arable farm, just half a mile from the River Avon and the pretty village of Bidford-upon-Avon.

The barns and the fields around the Combine Shed were purchased by the owner's family in the 1960s. In the 1980s the barns became grain stores, and the courtyard in front of the cottage was covered over with large steel bins for extra grain storage. In 2012, the grain barns were converted, and the grain store taken down, and the full conversion to Oosland Barns Holiday Lets was completed in 2015.

Inside, the cottage is decorated in a neutral, country-cottage style and comfortably accommodates four guests, with a very spacious and welcoming open-plan kitchen-dining-living area with a log burner and two bedrooms (one double, one twin) and a family bathroom - all on one floor so ideal for guests with limited mobility (Please note, that there are two steps up to the front door).Ground Floor
This spacious converted barn is decorated throughout in a country farmhouse style with neutral colourways that give a pleasing, relaxed feel. The Combine Shed is on one floor (no internal stairs) and is therefore ideal for young families and guests with restricted mobility. (Note, that there are two steps up to the front door).

*2 well-behaved dogs are permitted at the cottage for an additional fee. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date.

*Please make yourself aware of the hot tub rules and hours of use. An additional fee applies, and it must be requested at the time of booking.

Excellent stay!
We really enjoyed our long weekend here. The location made it very easy to travel around the Cotswolds and also visit Stratford-upon-Avon which is only 20mins away. The outlook over the fields is beautiful, we loved having our private garden and hot tub. The log burner is a lovely addition and it really did feel home from home.

A lovely property in an ideal location for exploring the Cotswolds and catching up with friends.
The property is neat and tidy and plenty big enough for 2 couples. The hot tub is a lovely addition. The criticisms would be the need to fix the curtain pole in the lounge - really messed with my engineer friend's mind, and also the cleaners need to look up, especially in the bathroom, and clear all the cobwebs away. It was also impossible to have a shower without making the floor very wet as the screen across the to of the bath wasn't long enough. Other than all that we would be happy to come back to the area and book the same property, or try one of the others on the farm.

Would book again
I booked a short break (2 nights) at the Combine Shed in Bidford on Avon. It was a superb place to stay :-) - very comfortable and everything we needed was there. The open lounge / dining / kitchen area was very spacious, light but still had a comfy feel. The kitchen itself had everything we needed for self catering for a few meals. The bedrooms were also very comfortable and I think we all slept well in the beds. Overall the place was clean and pleasantly decorated and offered a lovely retreat - in fact I said many times (to the kids annoyance I'm sure) that I would happily live in a place like this! The enclosed garden area was beautiful, backing on to large fields. The only thing that could perhaps have enhanced the stay would have been some comfy garden chairs or sun loungers to enjoy a good book with a glass of wine while overlooking the wonderful views.

We stayed here for 2 nights in June to visit Stratford upon Avon . Lovely spacious property in quiet area. Bidford upon Avon had places to eat and takeaways The property was ideal for our dog with a fully enclosed garden . Facilities were good in the property . The wifi however never worked which was frustrating for us . That was only negative Would recommend this property to others
