A lovely stay
Our son’s wedding was held at Stone Barn on the Saturday and we booked from the Thursday to the following Tuesday. I’m very glad we did. The property is as described and is in a very quiet location on its own plot with plenty of space. The bedrooms were comfortable, the bathrooms and en-suites spacious and well equipped. Best of all there was seating for everyone in the living area (seven of us) - not the case in most other properties in our experience. Board games available for rainy days. Good kitchen but could benefit from a couple of basic oven trays. A very decent property and happy to recommend.

A lovely location and wonderful property. Catered for all we needed. The only flaw we had was that we ran out of hot water and there did not seem to be any instructions as to how to turn them on. We found it in the end and the water was wonderful again. If instructions can be left for future residents then that would be amazing. PS It was a treat to see the resident hedgehog just outside the window towards the pond. The security light illuminated our little friend wonderfully and he was only 2 metres away from us.

Family Time
Such a beautiful tranquil setting for four siblings and in-laws/partners to spend quality time together. We could not have asked for more during our stay. Emma was welcoming and a pleasure to meet. The care and attention to detail for a comfortable stay was so appreciated. Our family will never forget the happy time we spent together at Southwold Barn in the beautiful Cotswolds.

Big birthday retreat
Remote but easily accessible and was a perfect venue to bring our immediate family together. The facilities and accommodation suited our requirements very well. Good walks available without driving. The traditional village fete held on a warm sunny day was a bonus. Owners very friendly.
