Amazing place just perfect for family reunions or groups of friends. Or just a lovely place to!!

All was amazing, from the lovely welcome, the character of the place, the nature, the games rooms, the services available etc etc Highly rated.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Apr 2024
Thank you so much for your fantastic 5 star review! It was a pleasure to host your extended family and for you to all be together at Heath Farm. We find more families using our cottages for family reunions as it works so well. Each family group can have their own cottage/space yet there's ample room in either Cobnut or Walnut to fit everyone in for meals and get to together. The games room nearby helps to keep children and adults entertained no matter what the weather and when the weather permits there's so much to do on the grounds from fishing or boating on the lake, playing on the games lawn or simply enjoying the 70 acres of extensive woodland trails we have. We hope you return again one day for another family reunion! Kind Regards The Barbour Family

Amazing stay

Absolutely perfect stay, the cottage and service on top level. My only advise to the owner is to provide local produce for the kitchen, this can be added to the cost, but it is always very pleasant to have local eggs, bread, butter, bacon and rapeseed oil ready for your breakfast in the fridge.
Response from VrboOwner on 8 June 2022
An amazing review for your amazing stay! We totally agree with your suggestion and are currently working out a way to provide more local produce whilst also giving enough flexibility for different dietary requirements so that there's as little wastage as possible. Kind Regards The Barbours

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

Lovely spacious cottage, and fabulous spacious outside space.

Cobnut is beautifully appointed, very comfortable and very well-equipped. We loved the outside space, and it is a perfect holiday retreat, with loads to do for children.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Nov 2022
Dear Wendy Thank you so much for submitting such a great review. All the more important as you've stayed with us before so it's great to see we're keeping consistent. Cobnut was awarded a ROSE award by Visit England this year too so we've plenty to celebrate! We did notice you gave us 4/5 for condition so I thought I should mention that we're half way through repainting the whole cottage (just upstairs was done when you came) plus the sofa and chairs downstairs are about to be completely reupholstered. We're also removing the two slightly worn rattan chairs in the verandah and plan to put in a new hat & coat stand plus shoe rack. Hopefully by the time you return it will look fresher than ever! All the best The Barbour Family

Amazing Short Family Break

No other words than amazing!! One of the best self-catering cottage I have ever and probably will ever stay in. We loved every moment from the roaring log fire to the super views across the hills. The Barbours the very best hosts and nothing is too much trouble. Our children of 10 and 11 loved the games room and have made us promise what we can return one day very soon. Sheer relaxing delight.

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.

Ultimate Cottage-core Experience

What's there not to like about Heath Farm Cottage? Serene setting - I watched the sheep munching on grass right outside my dining room's window while I enjoyed my morning coffee. Amazing amenity - the property thought of everything one could possibly need while staying there. Friendly staff - Mon has definitely become a close friend after our stay!
Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2022
It was great to finally meet you all after waiting 2 years from your original booking! I'm so happy the wait was worth it for you all. Cobnut cottage has the best views of all the cottages, looking down on the sheep & goats and the lake beyond whilst enjoying a cup of coffee is simple but perfect pleasure! Hopefully see you again one day. Kind Regards The Barbour Family

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...

Another magical stay at Heath Farm!

This was our fourth stay at Heath Farm and we cannot wait for our next visit. The Barbour family curate a very unique, welcoming environment for their lucky guests. The character, amenities, surrounding views, and location of these cottages cannot be bested - and we say that having traveled from Carlisle to Port Isaac, Seasalter to the Lakes, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. The owners took advantage of the lockdown to improve and update their properties, and their care and generosity show in every corner. The grounds and gardens were at their peak this June during our recent stay in Cobnut. Stay a week - there is so much to see and do in this corner of England. Hasta la próxima visita!
