“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Cotswolds.”

The granary was a really lovely place to stay perfectly located and very well equipped. The beds were comfortable , the kitchen extremely well equipped and the views fantastic, we found the lounge area a relaxing area to sit in the evenings.

The granary was a really lovely place to stay perfectly located and very well equipped. The beds were comfortable , the kitchen extremely well equipped and the views fantastic, we found the lounge area a relaxing area to sit in the evenings. We enjoyed lots of long walks with the dog, visiting a variety of places including Burford, Bourton on the water, Stow in the Wold and Broadway. The week was made perfect by the weather! Whilst the local pub is well worth a visit to take the spectacular views from the beer garden it is very expensive and probably better suited for special occasions. Therefore we chose to eat out in other places when we were out and about -of which there are many !!

“Lovely cottage, fabulous location, good walks.”

Near to a fabulous pub for drinks and food but if you want to cook at the cottage the kitchen had every gadget and all the equipment you ever needed. Our dogs first holiday and he loved it. Definitely will be back

- Mr Clark, July 2021

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay at The Granary. We're so pleased that you had such a lovely time and that the cottage was beyond your expectations. How wonderful that your pooch had a fabulous first holiday! You're always welcome to return! Owner relations
Prof Russell June 2021

“We had a very nice stay at The Granary, in a beautiful peaceful location.”

The house was very well furnished with good facilities and a kitchen well provided with cutlery, utensils, china etc., well up to 5* standard. The lighting in the kitchen was ceiling lights which cast ones shadow on the work surfaces, with no alternative lighting to give good vision. The same was true in the en suite with bath, where the sloping ceiling gave restricted headspace when getting in/out of the bath. We had not appreciated that the outside seating area could only be accessed from outside, making al fresco dining slightly awkward. Maybe it was mentioned and we missed it. Recycling and waste disposal instructions were confusing, with 2 separate sets of instructions that were quite different! We decided to use the coloured plastic bags left in the property, but noticed that none of the neighbours did the same. And the previous occupants had ignored any instructions to separate categories of recycling, which the dustmen seemed to accept!! These are not overly serious complaints, but since we had the impression that this was a recent conversion for renting out, the comments might help the owners to make The Granary even better than it already is. They are to be congratulated on a fine conversion of the building.

- Prof Russell, June 2021

Many thanks for your feedback - it's greatly appreciated! Your comments will be put to the owner and the housekeeping team will make sure that the waste disposal instructions are up to date and clearly displayed for the next guests. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your stay nonetheless and we look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds again in the future! Owner relations
Mrs Scott May 2021

“The Granary is absolutely gorgeous.”

Very well equipped (even better than home). The kitchen has more or less everything you could think of (even a kitchen aid and nutribullet). All other rooms are very comfortable too. Spotlessly clean (so a round of applause to the cleaning staff). Pub within a 2 min walk (although a bit pricey). Would absolutely recommend and would love to return one day ourselves.

- Mrs Scott, May 2021

Thank you for taking time to leave your comments on The Granary. We will pass your comments to the housekeepers. We hope you return in the near future! Owner relations

Mrs Wilde July 2020

“We had a fabulous stay at the cottage.”

Everything was spotlessly clean. It’s in a beautiful quiet and peaceful little village with some amazing scenery and lovely walks on the doorstep not to mention a great pub with a fantastic garden and wonderful view. A beautiful home from home with all needs catered for. A nice information pack was provided too. Only thing missing was a visitors book that I always think is nice to have We would most Certainly return to this beautiful little gem.

- Mrs Wilde, July 2020

We are pleased to hear you had a fabulous stay at The Granary. It is a wonderful place to visit. We would love to welcome you back in the future. Owner relations
Mr Ayres March 2020

“The Granary is very well equipped with everything you need and plenty more.”

Great child/dog gate at the stairs to ensure unwanted guests don’t follow you to bed, I wish more cottages did this as I always bring my own. However it should be in the description as didn’t need to bring my own. Great location with a very friendly gastro pub just down the road which is very chilled. Off-road parking and small stoned garden area. We would definitely consider returning. We have used Sykes Holidays a couple of times and always had a great service.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments for The Granary and we hope you return in the future, Owner relations

“Beautiful cottage in picturesque village with lovely views.”

Very well equipped and beautifully furnished. Felt at home.

- Dr Lettis, October 2019
Dr Jolliffe October 2019

“Thank you for all the hard work getting the Wifi working.”

It needed a replacement router, probably because of a severe lightning storm the week before we arrived. Stuart was amazingly patient with a strange lady from Vodaphone and Amanda handled the office stuff with a smile evident from her voice. Lovely spot.

Mrs Batchelor September 2019

Mrs Parry July 2019

“The cottage was extremely well equipped and all fixtures and fittings were top of the range.”

The sitting out area was gravel so not really suitable for dogs.

Mrs Byers June 2019

“Fabulous accommodation in a beautiful part of the Cotswolds.”

The Granary was extremely well equipped and everything provided was of a high standard. The village was very picturesque and quiet. An ideal location for visiting the Cotswolds. We would definitely stay here again if we were holidaying in this area and would not hesitate to recommend the property to family and friends.

Gwynn April 2019

“The granary was exceptional.”

We felt at home stage away. The location was perfect and we were able to get to places easily. We all had a great time and can't wait to visit again

- Gwynn, April 2019
Mrs Dean April 2019

“The magnificent views from the lounge windows, the secluded and private outdoor sitting area .”

We did feel that the temperature of the hot water was a bit excessive. Two settees would have been nice as the settee was far more comfortable than the chairs.

- Mrs Dean, April 2019
Mrs Marshall April 2019

“The cottage was excellent in all respects.”

We have not previously been to a holiday cottage so well equipped.

- Mrs Marshall, April 2019
Mr Griffiths April 2019

“Be aware that there are no 2 pin shaver sockets - major ommission!”

Also more minor is the lack of soap holder in shower. Also be aware that the pub down the road is extortionatly priced. Super cottage, enjoyed our stay.

Mrs Kirkpatrick November 2018

“We stayed at The Granary for five weeks when we just arrived into the UK.”

The Granary is such a beautiful cottage. The furnishings, interior design and finishing touches are very luxurious and of an exceptionally high standard. The views from the kitchen windows and living room windows upstairs are so beautiful. Set in a quiet location in Nether Westcote, but so close to Stow-On-The-Wold and Bourton-On-The-Water and not far from major shops at Witney, makes this cottage the perfect location for convenience. Also it is so wonderful to explore the local town of Burford. The kitchen has everything you could ever want, with the highest standard of equipment and utensils. We truly loved our stay at The Granary and will look forward to our next visit. The owners were so wonderful and provided us with the most amazing welcome basket, which was greatly appreciated. If we could rate higher than a 10 out of 10 we would. Anyone who choses to stay at The Granary will be very happy with their choice.

- Mrs Kirkpatrick, November 2018
Miss Deacon September 2018

“The cottage was really lovely and the owners had thought about everything possible to make staying there a lovely experience.”

The postcode was incorrect in the documentation emailed across to us, resulting in us ending up in a different village. When checking the documents again, we realised there were two very similar postcodes given at different bits on the letter with one letter different (looks like a typo as the letters appear next to each other on the keyboard).

About the location

BURFORD

Swinbrook 3.3 miles; Little Barrington 3.4 miles; Minster Lovell 6.1 miles.

Burford is possibly one of, if not THE most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located mid way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit.

The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits!

With little changing over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all with 25 minutes from the property.
