Charming cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at Barnsley cottage. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for cooking. And the welcome hamper was a nice touch. It’s rare to find accommodation with so many bathrooms - great for bigger groups. Beds were all comfy and big! The snug had plenty of toys to entertain, which my son loved. Property was quite busy in terms of nicknacks, could do with a declutter and in some areas a dust in would be useful decor looked a bit tired in some areas. Lovely locations for walks and amenities nearby. Host was quick to respond and answer questions. Would recommend!

Birthday Celebrations
We stayed here for my partners 50th birthday celebration with parents and teenagers. There was plenty of room for everyone to both have their own space and to come together. Lots of lovely touches such as books and board games and a perfect location to visit the beautiful Cotswolds. We will definitely be back!

Grandma's House Gone Wrong
Looking to stay in your grandmother’s cluttered, dusty house full of unnecessary tchotchkes and trinkets? Well, this is the place. While the owner is delightful, she frets over the unnecessary instead of what a true renter would focus on...like cleaning the filthy bathroom toilets and floors, or providing clear shelf space for guests to place items on. Sorry, but I don’t need rattling old tea plates in the bedroom, perfume diffusers turned to alcohol, etc., cluttering every possible space. Further, the owner’s personal items should be locked and stored not left out as if she quickly exited her live-in home to make a quick buck on a renter. The website photos are beyond deceiving. This Cotswold cottage could overall be a good rental, but before it’s ‘let’ it’s in need of a proper cleaning and a good painting of walls/floorboards (and steam clean the now blackened cream-colored stairway carpet). Being an innkeeper or a professional leasing agent requires skill and knowledge, not just a makeshift ad on a website for “Luxury accommodations” of which it clearly is not! It needs a rescue plan that begins with garbage bag to toss all the allergy-inducing junk. The only positive is the garden which of course can’t be used in the off-season. The high quality white sheets on the beds was stunning surprise and a good start. Now perhaps the owner might go from there...

A lovely house in a great location!
Barnsley Cottage is a beautiful house in a brilliant location. The house is picturesque, in traditional Cotswold stone and in a pretty village with a lovely pub within a couple of minutes walk. There are good amenities within a 10 minute drive in Cirencester. We were a multigenerational; family coming together to celebrate an early Christmas together. The space and layout were excellent - a large kitchen table to eat around, 2 living spaces meaning the children had somewhere to play / watch TV, a spacious and comfortable lounge with 3 decent sofas so we could all sit together easily. The bedrooms and bathrooms are as described and again, the layout was excellent. Beds were comfortable and the house warm and cosy with additional heaters supplied, where needed. We made use of the fire, which was perfect, and straightforward with additional logs being supplied. It was so appreciated that the house had been decorated for Christmas as was the offer of early check in/late check out. On the downside, we felt the cottage was very cluttered and there were a lot of personal belongings left throughout the house, which we wouldn't expect from a holiday let. It felt as though we were staying in someone's house, who had vacated for our stay, rather than a professional let. As a result of the sheer volume of clutter, belongings and 'stuff' in every room it made the place feel less clean than it may have done if it were cleared and minimised. I need to point out that important areas like bedding, bathrooms and kitchen were clean, but more generally the house felt dusty/not well looked after. There was a big stain on one bedroom floor, covered with a portion of carpet, which should be attended to. The family bathroom could do with some improvements to smarten it up (sealant/grout/shower area) and my suggestion would just be to clear the clutter, have a really good sort out and present it more akin to a professional holiday let, rather than family home. We are owner / holiday letters ourselves and keep all our belongings in locked cupboards / unused, locked rooms to counteract this. The above feedback did not detract from what was a really, really super stay with a very welcoming, accommodating and helpful owner. We hope that they may take on board the feedback and look at these areas to improve things even further. It was a 5* stay, let down by these factors. I still would not hesitate to recommend the house to others wishing to stay in this area.
