“We spent a most relaxing week at the Long Barn and would certainly recommend it to friends.”

It is particularly dog friendly and our miniature dachshund had a great time in the very secure garden.

Ann April 2022

“We were delighted with our stay at The Long Barn.”

It is a beautifully situated and stylishly presented property. The accommodation couldn't be bettered and the owners charming. Perfect for a peaceful break with a private garden and wonderful views over the Cotswolds.

- Ann, April 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay at The Long Barn and managed to have a peaceful break. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Andrew April 2022

“Overall a great place to gather for a brace of family birthdays.”

A lovely comfortable property with plenty of space. A slight shame that there was such a difference in space and appointment between the two bedrooms and the AGA is the sole source of cooking so we missed having a toaster. The last day of the holiday was spoilt by a local power cut which meant no light or water and a cooling AGA. Of course this was not the owners fault & they were very apologetic, but I would have hoped for some sort of compensation scheme from Sykes who really did not seem to care & were less than helpful. Great property but poor booking agents!

- Andrew, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback and we're glad you found the property comfortable and spacious. Unfortunately, the local power cut was beyond our control and we hope it didn't impact your stay too much. Property Owner
Joan March 2022

“The property was lovely with excellent fittings clearly no expense was spared in the conversion, it presented beautifully.”

It is a shame that this was let down by small things, only one tiny hand towel and one toilet roll in each bathroom for 2 people for a week. No bathroom toiletries, no mirror with a handy plug for hairdryers etc, no spare bin bags and only 3 dish wash tablets also a sparsity of coat hangers that were frankly cheap and nasty. All little things but which impact on how we viewed the place which deserved so much better. We did enjoy our stay and the Long Barn itself was beautiful as was the garden and its setting.

- Joan, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at The Long Barn, we agree it really is the most beautiful property! Apologies some aspects weren't to your satisfaction, this is a self catering holiday and as such we do not provide a full contingent of supplies, we do however ensure there is enough to make your arrival easy and worry free allowing you time time to settle in.

“We had a wonderful stay with our dog.”

The barn is beautiful, a very light and spacious space. Very well equipped with everything you could need. A great location for access to both Stow and Burford. A peaceful and private spot with beautiful views and a lovely garden. Highly recommended!

Wonderful property and met all our needs and expectations.

Michael October 2021

“This is a great place to stay.”

Everything you need at a very high standard. A very spacious barn with a lovely garden (which is totally enclosed, making it great if you have a dog) , ample parking, secure behind two sets of electrical gates and to top it off lovely and quiet! Ideally geographically placed, so that all the Cotswolds must see places are not too far away to visit.

- Michael, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back any time in the future. Property Owner

John May 2021

“The Long Barn was very comfortable.”

The hot water supply was rather temperamental! It was not possible to walk the dog from the Barn without going by car or walking along narrow roads. We made toast on the Aga but an electric toaster (and toast rack) would have been a bonus! Very good pubs in the vicinity.

- John, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at The Long Barn. I will pass on your comments to the owner about the toaster and rack and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner
Michael April 2021

“The Long Barn is in a beautiful setting.”

Just right for summer or winter. With footpaths from Fifield 2 mins up the road it is perfect for a walking holiday. Still cosy for 2, the space and facilities make it great for entertaining too. We hope to return.

- Michael, April 2021

We hope to welcome you back in the near future! Property Owner
Camilla 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

- Camilla, October 2020
William September 2020

“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.

- William, September 2020

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your stay at The Long barn. We are pleased to hear you had a lovely relaxing time and that you were able to use the garden! Look forward to you staying again in the future. Property Owner

“A super property in a lovely quiet location.”

Very comfortable and immaculately presented. Totally enclosed garden suitable for pets. Very happy to recommend.

Thank you for recommending The Long Barn! Property Owner
Laura 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.

- Laura, September 2020
Marianne July 2020

“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.

Carole February 2020

“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.

- Carole, February 2020

Thank you for your lovely comments, we are so pleased you loved The Long Barn and look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Victor 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.

- Victor, February 2020

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.
