Mrs Ankers
October 2020

“There are only 2 of us and this house was perfect for us as lots of reception space without paying for a lot of extra bedrooms we weren't going to use (we usually find we book something that is designed for 8 or more people to get this much living space.”

We really enjoyed the woodburner, long country walks along The Oxfordshire Way and a wonderful local pub. Thank you

“We had a lovely relaxing time.”

The accommodation was everything we could have hoped for and we even managed to sit out in the garden early in the week. Great to have such a safe dog proof garden for our Cavapoo to. We will return sometime in the future.

“A super property in a lovely quiet location.”

Dr Woodhead September 2020

“Fantastic week away.”

Lovely barn and enclosed garden. Perfect for families or two couples and great for our dog. Lovely comfortable beds and beautifully equipped. Would definitely recommend. The only issue we had was the two bedrooms being at opposite ends of the barn...which as per the name is ‘long’. Our 2.5 year old was a bit of a tight fit in the travel cot but she’s too small to sleep so far away and the baby monitor range would not have reached. This could potentially catch parents out! Would be fine for a baby or slightly bigger children.

“What a lovely, relaxing 3 nights away.”

Some real positives about booking this property were excellent communication prior to arrival (especially around Covid-19 Q&As), the property was genuinely spotless (everything was gleaming), the garden was large and enclosed with lovely views across the valley and private hedging to the roadside and unbelievably quiet which was why I booked the location in the first place. Just the occasional car driving past and the sound of buzzards in the sky! The bedding was lovely (quality duvets and covers), the AGA kept a base level of warmth throughout the property (although the weather was lovely anyway), an excellent power shower in the master bedroom (didn't use the shower in the twin room), the lounge was lovely and light and the garden had a really pleasant aspect and sitting area outside. Our dog loved the garden and spent many hours out there chewing her bone! The owners who live next door gave us total privacy during our stay, but had also kindly given us various contact numbers including the housekeeper who could have sorted any issues out. Just a few small things that could improve the overall experience: Working batteries in the DVD console Sharper serrated and flat knives for the kitchen A toaster A larger waste bin for the kitchen and mixed recycling Instructions on using the AGA - and temperatures (I have never used one before this trip!) Functioning lights in the ensuite to master bedroom over the sink area In summary, a very well laid out and welcoming property with great attention to detail and comfort. There is a large private parking space easily for 2 cars and a garage carport if you were motorbiking or had bicycles to keep dry. I would definitely book again and highly recommend a stay; you won't be disappointed. Thank you to the owners for making this property available.

“The most beautiful, well equipped and welcoming holiday let we have stayed in.”

..and we have stayed in a few. Perfect surroundings and despite the cold and wet we felt perfectly cosy and at home here. The Long Barn is a dream of a holiday let and we looked forward to returning after a day out. Although there is a lovely log burner, we did not need to use it as the house was most comfortably warm . We hope to return in early autumn to see the Cotswolds in splendid seasonal colours. What an absolute delight this place is and we have no hesitation in recommending it highly. THank you Simon and Caroline for providing this haven for us to borrow for a while.

Mr Henken February 2020

“The Long Barn is a special place and was perfect for our family for a short get-a-way from London.”

Overall the place had the feel of luxury from the bedding, to the fireplace and Aga. We were able to spread out and enjoy some relaxation. We will be back. Don’t tell anyone as we want it to be available.

We are pleased to hear The Long Barn was perfect for your family getaway. We would love to welcome you back in the near future. Manor Cottages. Owner relations

The property

Enjoying a delightful position in the quaint Cotswold village of Milton-under-Wychwood is this spectacular barn conversion, The Long Barn, situated in the grounds of the owners' home (but rest assured that it's completely separate and private).

This enchanting property holds a stylish and classic interior within, all resting on the ground floor with some steps internally, creating a perfect base for two couples or a small family of four to embark on a Cotswold adventure.

Rest easy within the brightly and naturally lit sitting room, with windows all around resembling a conservatory, this spacious setting houses plush seating to sink into while the woodburning stove roars in the background.

Beneath a high apex ceiling with exposed wooden beams lies the high-quality kitchen, giving off contemporary vibes with the great range of appliances, as well as a simple farmhouse-style the charming breakfast table where you can enjoy a morning coffee.

Prepare and host an impeccable feast within the dining hall, easily the grandest room of the house, the bookcase-lined wall evokes the taste of an elegant era of the past; gather here around the ornate dining table for a celebratory meal.

The luscious enclosed lawned garden provides the perfect spot to spend sunny summer afternoons, whether you are lounging in the sun, playing on the lawn with the children, or sitting at the outdoor furniture nursing a cold drink, it offers a private haven outside to feel refreshed.

Rest and rejuvenate in one of the two beautifully presented bedrooms; choose from a king-size room where exposed stone walls add a touch of character, benefited by a pretty blue tiled en-suite bathroom which has both a bath and a walk-in shower, or settle in the twin room, home to wrought iron single beds and served by an en-suite shower room.

The village centre of Milton-under-Wychwood is just under two miles away, and here you'll find all you need for an excellent self-catered stay, with a shop for essentials and a highly-regarded pub, The Hare, offering a perfect opportunity to take a night off from cooking and indulge in some fine food.

Walkers will delight in the miles and miles of walking routes and trails readily available, often involving stunning scenery and incredible landscapes notorious of the rolling Cotswolds.

For a wonderful day out, visit the wonderful town of Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' it offers many delights to be enjoyed; hop on a boat ride along the River Windrush, marvel at hundreds of kinds of animals at Birdland & Jurassic Journey, home to over 500 types of birds including penguins, or discover the lovely shops and local boutiques full of unique souvenirs to take home with you.

Within reach of Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Norton too, The Long Barn makes for an enchanting Cotswold base for you and your loved ones.
