Central Location

This was our six stay at Heath Farm. Each stay at a Heath Farm cottage was excellent. Cobnut was spacious and comfortable. There were plenty of walking paths some easy and moderate others challenging. Heath Farm is a central location with easy access to shopping in Banbury and local villages.

Chilled out stay

Excellent 4 day break in a lovely cobnut cottage in a lovely setting very good for visiting all the places nearby unfortunately Blenheim palace was closed only in a very nice part off the Cotswold for a stay cottage was immaculate with beautiful furniture and fixings would recommend it as a place to stay

Bliss in the Cotswolds

This was our sixth visit to Heath Farm - honestly, we'd live there, if they'd have us! The property is so comfortable, accommodating, beautiful, warm, and welcoming. Unbelievably, this was the first time I viewed their Games Room: spectacular! Especially if you have rainy days, bored kids, time on your hands. On this visit we stayed 10 days and could have spent a month. There is so much to see and do in the area and the location at Heath Farm is ideal for touring. We had two excellent and celebratory dinners at The Boxing Hare, which is just a few yards down the road. We ordered three loaves of bread from Mark's Cotswold Bakery which is right on the premises. I am actually reluctant to post this positive review because I don't want EVERYONE to discover our magical place in the Cotswolds. The Barbours are exemplary land stewards and it is a privilege to stay at their farm, and in a small way, contribute to what they add to Oxfordshire.

Peaceful getaway

This was our fourth visit to Heath farm. It is a little gem for those wanting some peace and to recharge from city life. It is the epitome of calmness and serenity. Cleverly placed windows from each cottage allow a guest amazing views around the farm, privacy and a sense of connection with nature. The orchard, chicken and play room are our favourite things to do with our four year son.

A beautiful cottage, very well equipped, in lovely surroundings. The owners made us very welcome, and we really enjoyed yoga sessions with Sasha, who was knowledgeable, professional and very pleasant. Great facilities, with loads to do.

30 years and still the best !

Our first visit was over 30 years ago. Since that time we’ve made several return visits. The rich solid woods and ceramics, throughout the cottages, bring a sense of real quality to what can only be described as one the Cotswolds most tranquil settings. Cobnut in a particular favourite. To the rear of its elevated setting, there is a wide and uninterrupted view down to the lake and the open Oxfordshire countryside beyond. To the front lies the courtyard with it’s Mediterranean influences. Constantly running waterfalls create a gentle atmosphere when sitting, restfully, on a warm summer evening. For those who love being surrounded by solid wood features, the inside of the cottages will be a joy. Oak and Ash are crafted in each and every room. Nothing has been spared when it comes to ensuring that guests have everything they need to make their stay a comfortable and memorable one. Heath Farms expansive acreage offers numerous evening walks amongst woodland, meadows and wildlife. Their website internal photographs are a true reflection of what you will find on walking through the door. Long may the qualities of Heath Farm continue.

A haven of peace and a fine base for exploring the area.

Lovely location. Very comfortable and well appointed accommodation. Quiet and peaceful. I appreciated being able to use electric charging point on-site: most convenient. The whole set-up at this site with five cottages was impressive and obviously carefully thought-through. Lovely grounds to wander in around the property. Plenty of interesting places to visit nearby. Strongly recommended.

Beautiful Cobnut

Cobnut is a beautiful cottage in the corner of an amazing courtyard and we especially loved all of the handmade wooden features. The cottage had everything we needed for a very comfortable holiday, and we both slept very well, which is a plus for me. Cobnut has a lovely outside seating area in the corner of the courtyard, although there are many other places that you can relax, in and around the courtyard and gardens. The weather was glorious for our week, and with the cobbled courtyard with its gorgeous flowers and herbs, and the water feature cascading down the centre, we could have imagined we were in Italy or Spain. Heath Farm cottages are in beautiful surroundings, with a lake full of trout, and a field with some very friendly sheep and goats in. The owners, whose home is one side of the courtyard, were extremely welcoming and friendly. We were welcomed by Mon, who showed us around the cottage and pointed out the gardens, outdoor games etc that are there for guests to use. We also fed the trout in the lake and were encouraged to use the boat, or fish if we wanted, although we were happy just to feed the trout from the jetty.

Lovely accommodation beautifully fitted out

We have stayed a number of times in Cobnut and have thoroughly enjoyed our holidays there. The setting is great with amenities from hot tub to badminton and other sports available. The surrounding area is also lovely as are some of the pubs and cafes two being in Great Tew only 3 miles from the farm.

Highly Recommended!

This charming cottage was everything we hoped for and more--beautiful, roomy, and welcoming. We loved strolling through as much of the 70 acres of paths and gardens as we could. There is even a pond where you can feed the fish. A fire in the fireplace on chilly nights was a lovely end to a day in the Cotswolds. Perfection!

Relaxing Retreat

Cobnut is a cosy ,comfortable cottage with beautiful views out onto the Oxfordshire countryside. It had everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend visiting the Cotswolds and the theatre in Stratford. The cottage is situated in a very peaceful location and we enjoyed seeing the wildlife including muntjac deer. Thank you for the welcome goodies. This was our second stay at Cobnut and we hope to return again soon.

A beautifully presented cottage.

Thoroughly enjoyed staying in Cobnut. Impressed by the attention to detail, from the decor to the well stocked kitchen and the generous supply of logs for the fire. The Aslan doors are a wonderful feature in the entrance hall. Felt very welcomed and valued as a guest by the hosts and would highly recommend.

The friendliest goats!

We've stayed here before so knew what to expect, and yet again we had a wonderful holiday. David, Nina and the team seem to have thought of everything from the well stocked games room, to the well designed accommodation and the plentiful activities across the farm. This year they introduced goats which were so adorable our children didn't want to leave them. Cobnut overlooks a sheep and goat paddock, the well stocked trout lake and the forest and hills beyond, it really is majestic from early morning to sunset. We've already booked next years stay...

Great stay

We had an amazing stay at this property the pictures do not do it justice. The location was great and the grounds surrounding the property are so beautiful. I was relaxed in no time. We rented two cottages as we had 6 adults in our group. The kitchens were well equipped for cooking. We all enjoyed the cake on arrival and a great touch to have milk and tea bags on our arrival. We were visiting from America but would definitely return to this property again.
