“We had an unforgettable time with David and Kate!”

The beautifully converted barn was ideal for our family, perfectly accommodating us and our two little ones (ages 2 and 5). The surroundings were breathtaking—the gardens, the scenery, and every detail made our stay special. Our kids were absolutely enchanted by the treehouse, the friendly hens, and the “big” pig! The location struck the perfect balance—close to everything we needed, yet wonderfully secluded for a peaceful retreat. Spending a full week with David and Kate was a joy, ...

Shahbaz April 2025

“Everything was fantastic enjoyed the stay, however only minor issue was the bathroom did not close properly or have a lock or to hang up your clothes when having a shower, also it will be ideal if you had a smart tv in the living room as I could use my own apps to watch football or movies as the free sat was not always good.”

These were very minor issues, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again. Everything else was absolutely fantastic.

- Shahbaz, April 2025

Thank you so much for these helpful comments. Will deal with these items you mentioned. Best regards David and Kate Property Owner

Susan September 2024

“When I have stayed in a holiday rental on previous occasions, there has always been a welcome pack of a small carton of milk, couple of tea bags etc.”

Also, salt/pepper etc as standard. This would have been a nice welcoming touch and made the first day much easier.

- Susan, September 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologise for the absence of a welcome pack and have passed these comments to the owner for review. We hope this didn't impact your stay and that we can welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Hannah August 2024

“As soon as we arrived our children were so excited as they discovered the tree house, zip wire, slide, swing, crazy golf, pigs, chickens and two friendly dogs ( which they loved).”

David let the children feed the animals and collect the eggs which we had for breakfast every morning. The shallow stream was great for a paddle. The setting was amazing and so were the hosts. Thank you for a lovely holiday. We will be back soon.

- Hannah, August 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback, it sounds like you children had a wonderful time and they had everything they needed in one place. I hope you managed to visit the Cotswold Wild Life Park and Blenheim Palace, they are a great day out and have lots for children to do. We would love to welcome you all back again soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Valentina March 2024

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.”

Our kids of 8 and 5 loved the tree house, getting to meet the pigs and the hens and the zip wire. The owners have been super helpful and really went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect for us. We would love to go back one day. Thanks to David and family for the wonderful experience.

- Valentina, March 2024

Samantha August 2023

“Upper Mill Barn is beautiful and amazing!”

My son loved the tree house so much him and my husband slept in it one night. Thanks to David for supplying futons. The fresh eggs were very tasty. We have already booked again for next year as we loved it so much and there is more to explore.

- Samantha, August 2023

Thank you very much for this message. We loved having you three with us and greatly look forward to welcoming four next year! Property Owner
Karen August 2023

“We had a fantastic stay at Upper Mill Barn, it was our first holiday for a while and couldn’t have been more perfect.”

It was very clean and tidy and looked just like it does in the photos, so peaceful. The tree house and zip wire were great fun even for our big kids.. David is a lovely man who made us feel very welcomed. The added bonus for us were the lovely animals, the pigs, chickens and their amazing dogs, just added to our stay. The location is perfect for planning days out with so many great places to visit not too far away.

- Karen, August 2023

Thank you very much indeed for this feedback. Greatly appreciated. You were lovely guests and you certainly embraced everything our home and area has to offer. The dogs loved the extra attention. Property Owner

Charles August 2023

“Overall we had a lovely stay - the barn and its grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed visiting the chickens and pigs!”

The host and the local community were very welcoming. There were just a few small niggles but these would not stop us visiting again. Firstly, more than just one towel per person would be appreciated. There was no lock on the bathroom door and also no waste bins in the bathroom and bedrooms. Also there were no trouser hangers in the wardrobe. Finally, it would have been nice to have a teapot as we are quite fussy about our tea!

- Charles, August 2023

Thank you for providing us with feedback on your stay at Upper Mill Barn. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your time away overall, and we appreciate your suggestions for improvement. We hope to welcome you again one day soon! Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Joanne September 2022

“David and Kate are two of the most welcoming hosts.”

We have just had the most relaxing and enjoyable break at David and Kate's cottage, it's in a very peaceful location but there is plenty to do and see in and around the area the cottage itself is well equipped for a perfect break away. Added bonus of a beautiful garden and lots of wildlife wandering about not to forget David's pigs who helped by eating up all our scraps! Thanks again we hope to be back soon. Joe and Justin

- Joanne, September 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at Upper Mill Barn and that the pigs enjoyed themselves around you as well! We hope to welcome you again one day soon! Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Matthew August 2022

“David and Kate are two of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet.”

David was the perfect host for our grandson, showing him how to feed the pigs and answering all the questions an inquisitive 5 year old would have. The location is perfect, with the added bonus of a mini crazy golf course, tree house and zip line, that kept our grandson occupied all week. Thank you for the perfect Holiday! Matthew, Michelle, Amy, Elijah and baby Ezra

- Matthew, August 2022

Thank you for providing us with such lovely feedback on your stay at Upper Mill Barn. It's fantastic to hear that you had an amazing time, and enjoyed the pigs, as well as the mini golf! We hope to welcome you again one day soon! Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner
Sheila August 2022

“A cottage full of charm and grace A special calm and healing place A lovely area to explore Inviting us to seek out more Amid hills of harvest gold and green And honey villages where we've been Does that describe how much we enjoyed Upper Mill Barn?”

Great cottage, great views and honey-coloured villages and such a welcome from the owners. We will definitely return.

- Sheila, August 2022

“Two taps where leaking.”

Plumber had done something but not enough. He comes back. In the bathroom difficult to hang your clothes an towels. For the rest ; a marvellous place to stay.

- Maarten, August 2022

Thank you for this feedback and we're sorry to hear you had an issue with taps leaking. Maintenance are onto this now. We're glad you had an enjoyable stay and hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

Ray September 2021

“Upper Mill Barn is ideal for anyone wishing to spend a quiet holiday in beautiful countryside, while remaining within walking distance of a pub/restaurant, Post Office and shop.”

The owners are very welcoming and attentive to anything you need, or wish to know. A spacious garden rising high to the rear of the property, is equipped with zip wire, climbing frame and magnificent tree-house, would appeal to younger guests. Coln St Aldwyns is conveniently located for visits to attractions in the southern and central areas of the Cotswolds (Bibury, Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water, Cirencester, Fairford) while long, straight roads offer trips to the northern sector within 40 minutes. A delightful walk from the property follows the River Coln some 2 miles to Bibury with its famous Arlington Row of Cotswold stone cottages and large trout farm, where you can catch and bbq your very own trout. What more could you wish for!

- Ray, September 2021
Ian August 2021

“Lovely barn in great surroundings.”

Barn was clean and comfortable and kids enjoyed the garden activities. Kitchen needs a bit of attention- very basic equipment and some parts need repairs. Also dryer on washing machine not working. No broom or vacuum cleaner to sweep floors. Internet wasn’t great as well. Overall though a good base for exploring the Cotswolds.

- Ian, August 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback, we are so sorry that you had concerns while staying with us, will make sure your comments are being forwarded to the owner. Property Owner
Elaine July 2021

“This place is nothing short of magical.”

The description of the barn doesn't do justice to the amazing garden, which has an incredible treehouse, plus a zipline, pigs and chickens. The owners were very friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. The barn itself is stylishly furnished and well-appointed and, whilst it is not big on space, it is cosy and fine for us as a family of 4. I would thoroughly recommend it.

- Elaine, July 2021

Thank you very much for your feedback on Upper Mill Barn. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you had such a wonderful time in the garden! Property Owner
Michelle June 2021

“Very nice stay, thank you.”

Perfect location for exploring the prettiest parts of the Cotswolds. Owners are nearby but not intrusive and left us to relax. Loved the dogs who came and checked us out regularly, as did the chickens!

- Michelle, June 2021
Geoff June 2021

“The accommodation was adequate in most respects but not as good as other other 4 ticks Sykes cottages we have experienced.”

It's not " excellent standard throughout". The double bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent. But the spacious bathroom lacks the facility to hang two bath towels to dry, the shower screen seal was broken, and the bottom 9 inches or so of the light pull string was an unpleasantly dirty brown. The kitchen equipment is rather sparse, eg no microwaveable pans/dishes, and when we arrived the oven and baking trays were unusably filthy. The owner apologised and cleaned it but it's disappointing that we had to point it out. There is a very large sideboard in the kitchen but it was full of miscellaneous stuff, such as cardboard boxes in which had once contained wine glasses, and was no use to us. The patio would indeed be "spacious" if the large rotted wooden bench and the pile of stones were removed, the shrubs cut back and the weeds pulled out. This is the place where it is most obvious that the photos on Sykes' site were taken some considerable time ago the jumble under the staircase is another

- Geoff, June 2021

Many thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry that the property did not meet your expectations. Your comments and suggestions for improvement will be passed on to the owner. Property Owner
Aisling May 2021

“We had an amazing week at Upper Mill Barn.”

The cottage is even better than the pictures with new sofas and a table/chairs set on the patio. Other reviews had mentioned the zip wire and treehouse - these were so much better than I expected, the treehouse is very impressive with a slide, swing and bridge! We also loved seeing the pigs, hens and the family’s lovely dogs. Great location with some walks near by, and we also went to the nearby Cotswolds Water Park, the Cotswolds Farm Park and Batsford Arboretum. Thank you for a fabulous week!

- Aisling, May 2021

Thank you for your recent feedback with regards to your stay at Upper Mill Barn. It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and we would love to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner
Paul May 2021

“Beautiful spot , David , the owner was charming .”

The only slight disappointment was the oven and one of the baking trays was dirty and needed a good scrub ! A real gem in the quiet of the Cotswolds .

- Paul, May 2021
Sofia October 2020

“We really have enjoyed our stay at Upper Mill Barn.”

A lovely cottage in the countryside, stunning views. Great walks in Coln St Aldwyns and Bibury. A beautiful cottage, very comfortable, clean and welcoming. So peaceful and calm! David and his wife are the perfect hosts! Thank you both so very much for making our holiday so special!

- Sofia, October 2020

Than you for providing feedback regarding your recent stay at Upper Mill Barn. It's lovely to hear how much you enjoyed staying at the barn and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner
Rachel August 2020

“We absolutely loved our stay at upper mill barn.”

I echo previous reviews the garden, tree house and zip wire are a fantastic bonus for children. The house is well equipped, comfy and an ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds. David the host is very welcoming and on hand should you need anything. Thank you for such a perfect holiday even in the pandemic!

Menna August 2020

“We absolutely loved upper mill barn.”

It was perfect for a family of four with two young children. The accommodation was lovely, David the host was very helpful, the patio was great but what made it excellent for the children was the garden with tree house, zip wire, chickens and pigs to feed scraps to!! The location was perfect for day trips and walks and the village had a nice play area, post office and small cafe. Thank you we enjoyed our week!!

- Menna, August 2020

Thank you for you lovely comments, it is great to hear the children had an excellent time! Property Owner
Sarah August 2020

“Lovely accommodation in a great location.”

Well equipped, had everything we needed. Very peaceful. Have two boys aged 8 and 10 who loved the zip wire, Treehouse pigs and chickens.

Stephen August 2019

“The property is difficult to find as the information and postcode show a different street.”

No one was there to let us in. Phone number provided was for Sykescottages and not the owner so it was difficult to find out what was happening. Was not a good start to our break. Overall, the property is very nice and we were comfortable there. Only other gripes are that the kitchen area was a bit hairy and the fridge could be a bit cleaner, but otherwise cannot fault anything else.

- Stephen, August 2019
Ian August 2019

“The Cottage was ideally placed, so that your major tourist places are fairly close.”

We have 2 children & the garden is a great place, with the tree house, crazy golf, zip wire & the animals that are around. I think I can safely say we will be stopping at Upper Mill Cottage in the future. I will almost definitely recommending it to family & friends!

- Ian, August 2019
Andrew June 2019

“Upper mill barn could be a lovely holiday accommodation, but unfortunately upon our arrival we found the whole place covered in human hair and had to spend the best part of an hour hoovering it all up with the pitiful hoover (which we completely filled with hair).”

After talking to the owner, we found out that it is regularly used for hair dressing. This would not have been a problem if the place had been properly cleaned afterwards, but the cleaner obviously forgot to clean the floor this time. The owner was very friendly and apologetic, and offered us a partial refund, which we were grateful for. However, due to the fact that it is used for hair dressing, I am unable to recommend upper mill barn to anyone else.

- Andrew, June 2019
Leigh-ann April 2019

“Fantastic for the kids aged 4 & 8.”

It was just how kids should go off and have fun in a large garden with treehouse and zip wire. Great local amenities with the community shop and pub.

- Leigh-ann, April 2019
James April 2019

“We just came back after a wonderful time.”

Upper Mill is a really lovely property, the photos just don't do it justice. There is a wonderful tree-house that really is genuinely as the name suggests, a house up a tree, rather than a box on a branch! There's also a zip wire that we ALL had great fun on! I think the highlight for my wife were the pigs at the top of the garden who devoured our kitchen scraps every morning and evening. We also enjoyed freshly laid eggs! The property is situated in a beautiful spot amongst idyllic countryside with a river flowing through the property which was perfect for a game of poo-sticks! Highly recommended!
