“The owner was very welcoming and helpful.”

- Mrs Williams, July 2019
“Charles ist ein sehr netter Gastgeber und steht jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite.”

Seine Empfehlungen zu verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten sind sehr hilfreich. Die Lage ist perfekt um die Cotswolds zu erkunden. Wer Ruhe sucht oder die Umgebung sehen möchte kann innerhalb einer Stunde Bath, Oxford, Cheltenham und alle weiteren Sehenswürdigkeiten der Region erreichen. Eine gute Mischung aus Erholung und Sightseeing. Im Cottage ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, im Charme und Style der Region.

- Mr Emker, June 2019
“We actually booked through booking.”

Com and were very surprised to be contacted by your organisation, Sykes Cottages. This was not at all clear to us, when we booked. Although Sykes Cottages staff is very helpful and accurate, we feel that it is not OK that we should be working with two organisations, it was very confusing. When booking with booking.com, we like to have all communication through booking.com, not another organisation. This has cost us a lot of money due to the extra calls to the UK. Feedback on the holiday has been given on the site of booking.com, we are not going to do this twice.

- Mr Vanthomme-goddeeris, June 2019
“We had a Fantastic week at Long barn the place is very comfortable and clean and everything that is needed is there, the walking, running and cycling are amazing really quiet and safe lanes,the owner Charles is a lovely man nothing was to much trouble for him, he was very kiind to our disabled son and genuinely wants people to enjoy his holiday cottage.”

The locals from the village were all friendly and would stop for a chat and made us feel very welcome in their comunity. We will definitely book again.

- Mr Malin, May 2019
“Beautiful cottage in a very pretty village, wonderful local walks and Charles the owner very charming and extremely helpful.”

Loved our stay.

- Miss Wilds, May 2019
“Lovely cottage, but could not recommend because of the peculiar and very awkward front door which needed a crouching position to enter and leave.”

- Mr Cole, May 2019
“A lovely little cottage, Charles is very friendly and helpful.”

- Mr Dale, April 2019
“L Long Barn e` situato su una piccola collina nella frazione di Duntisbourne Abbots, immerso nella campagna inglese.”

Ideale per una vacanza in coppia o in famiglia se cercate un break in piena quiete, pace e natura. Il Barn e' molto ben tenuto ed attrezzato: dispone di 2 camere da letto con magnifiche travi, inoltre e` dotato di un giardino estremamente ben curato, con tavolo, sedie ed un comodissimo bbq a gas! A meno di 30 minuti potrete visitare i pittoreschi villaggi di Bibury, Bourton on the Water e Stow on the Wold, nonché i resti della villa romana di Chedworth e immergervi nello spirito della campagna inglese visitando i pubs intorno a Duntisbourne Abbotts.

- Miss Guessarian, August 2018
“Schon die Ankunft in Duntisbourne Abbots war traumhaft: Das Dorf ähnelt den Herbergen der Hobbits in Tolkiens Herr der Ringe.”

Alle Häuser sind aus dem typischen Cotswolds Stone gebaut und mit individuellen Gärten umgeben. Genauso wie das Dorf ist The Long Barn urig - oder wie die Engländer gerne sagen "quirky". Trotzdem ist aller Komfort vorhanden, den man im Urlaub heute braucht. Genossen haben wir vor allem die Abende draußen im Garten. Charles war immer gut gelaunt und auf dem Weg von oder zur Arbeit an einem kleinen Pläuschchen interessiert. Er hat uns auch einige gute Tipps für Ausflüge gegeben. Die Lage der Wohnung ist ideal, um das Zentrum der Cotswolds zu erkunden. Am besten haben uns Lower Slaughter und Upper Slaughter gefallen - die Ruhe und Harmonie dort ist umwerfend. Wir haben eine rundum tolle Woche in The Long Barn verbracht! Thank you Charles!

- Mr Verspai, July 2018
“The long barn has been beautifully renovated.”

Its quirky and tastefully decorated and we loved our week there with our two children. The owner Charles is friendly, charming,interesting to talk to and extremely helpful and understanding. He went out of his way to help us after we had unknowingly left something behind. The garden is lovely,with BBQ and dining area. We had great weather for the entire week and got great use of it which was fantastic as it was something that was important to us when we made the original booking. The Long Barn is a great base to go and explore the beautiful Cotswolds. We cant wait to return to the area and would book here again. We would highly recommend the location, the property and the owner.

- Mr Ryrie, July 2018
“We would like to thank Charles, the property owner who was incredibly helpful and understanding when we had an issue with our car that meant we had to leave later on our departure date.”

The property is quirky but very well thought out and everything has been put together to a high standard. Everything we needed was to hand. We had good weather for the whole week and being able to relax in the lovely garden in the sunshine in the evening after a day's walking was delightful. We would highly commend the location, the property and the owner

- Mrs Gibson, June 2018
“It's a beautiful place”

- Mr Hellas, May 2018
“Our holiday provided us with an ideal base with which to tour the area.”

It had all the amenities we required, was very comfortable and in charming surroundings. The owner was also easily accessible and responsive to any requests we had.

- Mrs Gajdus, April 2018
“Very cosy cottage to a very high standard.”

Lovely holiday and great place to stay even with rubbish weather we had a lovely week.

- Mrs Hoare, April 2018
“This barn rental was not our first choice.”

The owner of our original booking 'pulled the plug' a week before our arrival date. Sykes reacted quickly and within a couple of hours we agreed the barn alternative. This was unexpectedly good service. The Long Barn is tastefully furnished. It was very clean and the bed linen first class. It lacks a discrete shower and the bath tub, although equipped with shower taps, does not have a shower curtain or similar splash protection. The barn is not suitable for anyone with an infirmity owing to the spiral steel staircase. The kitchen is well equipped but lacks a dishwasher. We were impressed by the coffee maker and the range of coffee cartouches' supplied FOC. In addition and not often found in rentals was a good supply of toilet and kitchen paper plus cleaning materials and cloths. We stayed in the barn during the second week of November 2017. The main ground floor room and kitchen were cold despite increasing the electric radiator temperatures. The bedrooms are however warm and cosy. The owner is charming and did his best to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
