“Thank you for a wonderful weekend in the gorgeous Thorndale Farm Barn.”

A beautiful property with stunning views over the Cotswolds countryside and lovely walks. Everything was provided, and Rosie our host, was so welcoming. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay.

Heather February 2023

“Thorndale Farm is so well-equipped we felt like we were home-from-home rather than staying in a holiday cottage, and all the little extras like the delicious cake on arrival made us feel so welcomed.”

It is 10 years since we managed to gather all four of our children in one place for longer than a Christmas or birthday meal. Then there was just six of us. Now, with four partners and two grandchildren, we number twelve, and Thorndale Farm Barn accommodated us all perfectly. We enjoyed exploring the wider area, but the greatest pleasure was simply roaming across the fields and woodland and watching the horses training. We loved it!

- Heather, February 2023

Thank you so much for this lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed your family reunion at Thorndale Farm and also made the most of the surrounding area. We would love to welcome you again! Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

Anthony December 2022

“We stayed over Christmas with our daughters and their families.”

Everything was as described, with everything you needed and it was comfortable and warm. Quality bathrooms with shampoo and bath salts provided and lovely soft towels. Loads of space in the open plan lounge/kitchen diner. Beautiful setting in the countryside and everyone was very friendly. Definitely worth recommending.

- Anthony, December 2022

Rebecca March 2022

“We had a brilliant stay at Thorndale Barn to celebrate my Mum’s 70th birthday.”

The house is perfect for hosting a family celebration and the open plan set up meant we could all be together, at the dinner table or in the living area. We were greeted with a delicious home made lemon drizzle cake and a beautiful bouquet of flowers and when we met Rosie, the owner, she she gave us all the information we needed and couldn’t have been more helpful. Overall, we had a wonderful stay in a brilliant location. Thank you!

- Rebecca, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We agree Thorndale Barn has a beautiful setup and is perfect for a family gathering. It is great to see you liked the welcoming touches and got to meet the lovely owner. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

Alison November 2021

“This was our 3rd stay at Thorndale Barn.”

The house and annexe are beautifully appointed, the beds, pillows and bed linen are fabulous quality making sleeping just perfect. The addition of the log burner and fuel makes Thorndale a home from home on a November evening. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

Phoebe December 2020

“We were lucky enough to enjoy 7 days at Thorndale Farm Barn over Christmas.”

The property exceeded our expectations in every way! The surrounding farm is absolutely stunning and perfect for long country walks. Each room is unique and furnished beautifully, and the living space is a lovely to relax in. The house is also equipped with everything (plus more) you will require. Rosie went above and beyond as a host, she even kindly placed a decorated Christmas tree and table decorations in the house and left delicious mince pies for us on arrival. Would highly recommend!

John January 2020

“Thorndale Barns is a superb place for a family get together, whatever the weather.”

Warm, welcoming and flexible in accommodation with a lovely open plan downstairs ideal for gatherings. Very helpful owners live right next door in the main house and ready to help, or leave alone as needs be. The photos are very accurate and up to date, but do not do it justice...

Heather December 2019

“We had the most amazing family Christmas at Thorndale Farm Barn & Stable.”

The property is not only beautiful, comfortable and homely, but also spacious and so well equipped. We felt at home the minute we arrived ... everyone, including my rather frail 90 year old parents and our 3 & 5 year old grandchildren, loved every minute of their stay. Rosie our hostess was so welcoming and helpful. We had the best Christmas ever ....the memories will stay with us forever ...we really appreciate being able to bring our extended Anglo-Australian family members, both young and old, together in one place around a magnificent roaring fire ... thank you so, so much.

- Heather, December 2019

Thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely feedback on Thorndale Farm Barn. We are so pleased to hear you had the best Christmas ever and made memories that will stay with you forever! Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Helen November 2019

“Eleven of us (3 families) had a wonderful stay for 2 nights to celebrate my Mum's 80th birthday.”

The cottage/barn is absolutely lovely - even better than the photos - with every detail taken care of. It is set in 1000 acres of beautiful countryside and the views are stunning. We booked a table at the Wheatsheaf Inn in Northleach on Saturday night. The food was all lovely and the pub had a busy, cosy atmosphere. The only thing I would mention is the fact that the underfloor heating thermostat was turned up quite high, which meant the first night was very hot! (We eventually turned the heating off); however, every other part of our stay was exceptional. Thank you!

- Helen, November 2019

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. We are pleased to hear you had a wonderful stay and we hope your Mum had an amazing birthday. Property Owner
Isabella October 2019

“It was absolutely wonderful!”

- Isabella, October 2019
Alison October 2019

“This was our 3rd visit to Thorndale.”

We are a group of 11 friends and it works perfectly for us. The bed linen and towels are exceptional . The beds all very comfortable. The house itself is the best equipped of any holiday home I’ve stayed in. The Vestey family are delightful, nothing is too much trouble. Always a welcome pack including home made cake. And the location is perfect - looking out onto beautiful countryside in a quiet location but near to Cirencester and Cheltenham as well as pretty villages and National Trust properties. We are hoping to go back in 2020!

- Alison, October 2019

Thank you for returning to Thorndale for the 3rd time and we look forward to welcoming you again in 2020! Property Owner

Mr Senior December 2018

“Super place, extremely well equipped with a very helpful owner who lives next door.”

Very young children were well catered for with high chair, travel cot and safely gates. Our two dogs were also welcomed with dog bowls and dentistix- even a hot water hosepipe to clean them down. Can’t rate this place high enough.

- Mr Senior, December 2018
Matthew December 2018

“We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Thorndale Farm Barn.”

Communication with the owner was superb, and the house was perfect. Our booking was for a large family Christmas with family arriving from around the UK, Europe and Australia. The Barn provided a perfect base and helped us create an idyllic family Christmas

- Matthew, December 2018
Miss Burge November 2018

“The cottage was absolutely stunning even better than the photos.”

Everything about it was incredible - the interiors, the cleanliness, the size and the host. Have already recommended to friends and family. Beautiful!

- Miss Burge, November 2018
Hilary October 2018

“Thorndale Barn is a wonderful place.”

Comfortable, spacious, beautifully furnished with top quality bedding, kitchen equipment and many thoughtful extras. Rural location with easy driving access to Cheltenham and Cotswold villages. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

Miss Gardiner September 2018

“The weekend at Thorndale Farm Barn could not have been more perfect.”

The house and rooms were beautiful with some lovely unexpected touches, gorgeous flowers in the lounge and home baked cake awaiting our arrival. The owner could not have been more helpful and accommodating and it was a real treat to stay in this lovely home with stunning views!

- Miss Gardiner, September 2018
Mrs Bennett

“The property is absolutely superb.”

Top quality in every way.

- Mrs Bennett,
Bethan

“The barn is beautiful, every room decorated to a high standard, with really wonderful furnishings and spotlessly clean.”

The host took the time to leave us a cake, and fill jugs of water with glasses in each bedroom which was a really nice touch. In terms of making us feel welcome, we cannot fault this place or the host and the little touches were greatly appreciated. We would absolutely return here and recommend this place to anyone looking at a group stay in the Cotswolds. The side cottage to sleep the extra 4 people is also just as nice as the main house, with beautiful decorations so its certainly not sub-standard compared to the main building.

- Bethan,

The property

Thorndale is an outstanding holiday cottage, providing luxury self catering accommodation in one of the prettiest Cotswolds locations.

Walk amongst the hills to the local pubs or watch famous racehorses train on the hills or simply sit in heavenly surroundings and do nothing - and just relax!

Set on a farm which trains top class racehorses on the surrounding land we were simply gobsmacked at the location and accommodation on show.

Inside the open plan living space downstairs and bedrooms upstairs have been designed and presented to an exceptional standard, with a real attention to detail and one fits the building beautifully.

Oak flooring, huge oak trusses, a handmade kitchen and luxury bathrooms together ooze charm and appeal, while large, deep mattresses in inviting bedrooms ensure a good night's sleep.

Two of the six bedrooms are located in a separate, private barn approx 12 paces from your front door (to the side in the picture).

Together this is a perfect choice for a large group or family who looking to enjoy a quality holiday home in one of the finest Cotswolds areas.

We absolutely loved it when we visited.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £400.
