Amazing stay at The Hayloft

We really enjoyed our stay at The Hayloft. It was well equipped and comfortable. It is a beautiful property, very clean with everything you should need. It was extremely hot when we were there and the windows had been opened and a fan left running to cool the property. It is a great location in a beautiful village.

Great Stay at the Hayloft

We stayed at the Hayloft for three nights and really enjoyed ourselves. The village of Cold Aston is lovely and a short drive to some of the popular tourist areas of the Cotswolds, like Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and The Slaughters. The property is gorgeous and the unit itself is beautifully renovated and very comfortable. It's well appointed with everything that we needed. We'd been traveling for over a month at that point, so the combo washer/dryer was a nice thing to have. We would definitely stay there again.

Relaxing in the Hayloft

We spent unforgettable days in a beautiful and lovingly decorated holiday retreat. Every corner spoke of warmth and care, making us feel right at home. Surrounded by silence, far from the rush of everyday life, we found true peace. The location was perfect—a gateway to nature’s quiet wonders and the charm of quaint little villages. And just a short drive away, the breathtaking beauty of the Cotswolds unfolded before us. We carry the memories of this time in our hearts and look forward to returning one day.

Lovely cottage in a great location and in the owners grounds which are beautiful. Very comfortable and had everything we needed for a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. Provided with an excellent private parking space behind the cottage. Would definitely recommend.

Great stay in Cold Astin

The location was excellent, very quiet and yet easily accessible via a short drive to all the villages. Bourton on the water was a 5 minute drive. All amenities were provided, the bed and the lounges were most comfortable and above all it was impeccably clean. Highly recommended. We loved it. Would love to stay again.

Great weekend trip for 2

This place was great for a weekend stay - clean and the kitchen was well equipped if you wanted to cook. It's well located for visiting areas like Bourton on the Water, as well as Kingham. Can't fault it!

Cotswolds stay

The Hayloft was amazing! It had everything we needed. The owner really supplied everything for our comfort. We enjoyed staying there and would stay again. It was a great location to explore the villages. We loved the style and charm of the building. You enter through a gate and the grounds outside are lovely. We felt really secure there.

Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay in the cottage. It was very cosy and I felt we had everything we needed. The kitchen has everything that you could ever need to cook some breakfasts/meals and the bed was really comfortable. The location was ideal, there is a pub just opposite that prepares amazing food and it was only a 5 min drive to Bourton-on-the-water and we felt we could drive around the Cotswolds visiting lots of villages without having to drive long distances.

Lovely location, very quiet

Very nice stay at The Hayloft, although the property is somewhat isolated. Approx 2 miles from Bourton-on-the-Water. A car is needed. Situated in a lovely private property. Quality furnishings, well equipped.

The Hayloft perfect place to stay

We stayed 10 days in The Hayloft and we enjoyed every minute of it. The house was well equiped and central located. It is a perfect place to explore the Cotswolds. We visited many gardens, castles and nice villages. And we were very happy that the weather was warm and sunny the whole period.

Comfortable and well-located

Very comfortable stay in a lovely location, within easy reach of beautiful Cotswold hotspots. Pint of milk in the fridge was a welcome gesture although a freezer compartment in the fridge would have been perfection. Bath robes provided was a nice touch- could have done with a hook on the bedroom door to hang them on. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Charming

Great location, beautiful property, luxury linens, just the right size for two with heating; however, no cooling (though the temperature dropped at night even in July which made for a very pleasant stay). The Hounds Inn across the street and The Nuttery a short hike away had excellent food!

Fantastic apartment in perfect location

Cold Aston is a very quiet and beautiful little village ideally situated to visit the Cotswolds. The Hayloft is very nice, has a fully equipped kitchen, a large living room, beautiful new bathroom and a cosy bedroom. Yes the beams are low in some places but we are 1.75 and 1.85 meter and had no problems. The quality standards are high and has everything you need to make your stay very comfortable. The parking in the back is spacious and the garden amazing. My only very minor suggestions would be a holder in the shower for shampoo and soap. Woud definitely recommend!

Perfect location for a long weekend

Really lovely place to stay, quiet, wonderful setting, no issues at all. We stayed for 3 nights, me & my wife plus our baby boy. Travel cot provided, but we did bring our own. This fitted nicely next to the bed in the eaves. I'm 6'4 and take care everywhere I go. There was plenty of head room throughout for me. Kitchen fully stocked for most things, village location very nice. Would recommend.

Beautiful, Spacious, Great Location, Excellent Customer Service!

My husband and I stayed at the wonderful Hayloft as we toured the Cotswolds. The location in the village of Cold Aston was a wonderful central point, being approximately 30 minutes from all of the villages. If you'd like see all the Cotswolds have to offer, I suggest renting a car, as we did. The Hayloft is beautiful, well equipped with all needed amenities including washing detergent, luxurious bath towels, bath robes, spacious living area, and a very comfortable bed. As noted in the description, if you are 6' or taller, the bedroom may be a bit of a struggle as the gable ceiling on either side of the bed may be an interference. There is a great pub/restaurant directly across the street with wonderful food and a great selection of spirits and beer. I highly recommend the Hayloft!
