“Spotlessly clean, comfortable cottage, in a good location for local attractions.”

- Mr Garrod, September 2020
Mr Mcleod September 2020

“We were delighted that this cottage was available despite Corona virus.”

Everything was done to follow the guidance and we found everything to be of a very high standard. The owners were friendly, informative and helpful. They even told us about a Spitfire that was due to fly close by the cottage. It was a delight to stay there. We also loved seeing the horses, donkeys and other animals!

- Mr Mcleod, September 2020

Thank you for your lovely comments on Saddlebacks Barn. The animals do make it a special place to stay. Owner relations

“Lovely location, the accommodation was excellent as were the hosts.”

The cottage was perfect for our needs, spotlessly clean, so felt very safe. Very peaceful setting with beautiful views. The latest addition to the farm, the donkeys were a joy to watch.

There are some lovely villages, walks, places of interest and Oxford isn’t far away.

Mrs Dean July 2020

“The farm, cottage and family who run it are fabulous.”

Decor, fixtures and style are to a very high standard. Impeccably clean and also very impressed at how, even though they have had to adapt to covid and remove some creature comforts etc.. it still exceeded our expectations. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Mrs Dean, July 2020

Thank you for your kind feedback, i know the owners work very hard to provide lovely accommodation for guest's. We will pass on your comments and hope to welcome you back in the future. Owner relations

“The cottage was well decorated, furnished, well equipped, and comfortable for our stay.”

All the linen, bedding and towels were high quality and very clean. Remarkable attention to details e.g. the availability of a shower mat to prevent slipping in the shower, the manuals for the kitchen appliances were available. The pint of milk in the fridge and the packet of biscuits were appreciated. A box with leaflets of the surrounding places and amenities was available and very useful.

About the location

Burford

Burford is possibly one of, if not THE most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located mid way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit.

The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits!

With little changing over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all with 25 minutes from the property.

Note: Washing machine and tumble dryer is located on site for guests to use.
Note: this property is a small active farm.
Note: this property is located on the same farm as Ewecub Barn and Nutchat Barn
