About this property
Kestrel Barn, Leonard Stanley - sleeps 5 guests in 2 bedrooms
Tucked away on a peaceful farmstead in Leonard Stanley, near the market town of Stonehouse, Kestrel Barn is a beautifully converted retreat offering the perfect balance of rural charm and modern comfort. Surrounded by open countryside and within easy reach of the Cotswolds, it's a place to switch off and soak up the quiet beauty of this much-loved corner of Gloucestershire.
Step inside and you'll find an open-plan living space that's made for gathering. Soft, natural tones and rustic textures create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, while floor-to-ceiling windows draw in the light and invite the outside in. The kitchen is sleek and well-equipped, flowing into a generous open plan dining and living area with cosy sofas to curl up on after a day exploring.
Outside, a private terrace with a bubbling hot tub looks out across farmland and rolling hills beyond. Whether you're enjoying a leisurely breakfast, an al fresco supper, or a peaceful evening under the stars, this is a space that encourages you to slow down and savour the moment. With walking routes from the door and the Cotswold Way within easy reach, Kestrel Barn offers an idyllic base for couples or small families looking to escape the everyday.Ground Floor

We found the cottage very spacious, comfortable and well equipped for our short stay. We would recommend Wonky’s wheels taxi service and we loved the dairy vending machine.

Lovely stay
We had a most wonderful stay at Kestrel barn this weekend. Communication from Jo was really helpful. The house was spotless, the location was gorgeous. A cheese vending machine 2 min walk away.. what more can I say. We did a fantastic tour of Woodchester Vineyard on the Friday. Would highly recommend Wonky cabs to get around the area. Hot tub was perfect, especially on the stormy evenings! Beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped.
We would definitely return.
