Brandeers Long Barn

The Long Barn is a wonderful place in a truly beautiful and peaceful location.

The owner is really pleasant and helpful. If you’re looking for pristine matchy-matchy then this is probably not for you. However, if you want peace, beauty and tranquility in a quirky, homely and comfortable environment then this is it. Indoors every corner contains a treasure - from the piano to the full-size pool table and outdoors the mix of nature and history is unmatched anywhere. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay as a base to explore the south of the Cotswolds.

Peter met us and our 2 dogs on arrival and was very informative about the place, history and area and we met he's fabulous dog too. The place is huge and has everything you need. The games room was particulary great at night. I can understand the decor isn't to everyone's taste but we loved it and all the quirks, can see all the Cuban influences everywhere. The barn is on a farm and after seeing other reviews not happy with the surrounding tractors etc, I have to say "what did you expect?". There are vehicles and farm equipment around but it doesn't affect anything and just adds to the authenticity of the area. There is a bbq / pizza oven area across the road in some woodlands which was nice but we didn't use these facilties. Only thing to mention for others with dogs is that there is no secure garden area to let your dogs off, this didn't bother us though as we explored all day and only came back in the evening to relax and sleep. If you were travelling here with dogs with the intention of mostly staying in the barn I'd say maybe it isn't for you (mostly due to no secure garden) as it's quite secluded and although you could walk to the nearest pub it's a few miles away. (Fine with us, we drove to a different pub each night). But as a base to spend the day exploring and then coming back to later on its 10/10, highly recommend :D Would happily return with our dogs in the future.

Lovely, distinctive cottage and a beautiful area.

Peter and his family could not be more friendly, generous and helpful. We had a lovely stay and would return for another visit. The games room and tennis courst were a big hit for our family.

Perfect barn for our holiday.

Beautiful rooms, comfortable beds, peaceful. Clean and tidy. Games room made partner happy.

A very pleasant stay.

Peter the owner couldn’t be more helpful. Very secluded and peaceful location. The beds were the most comfortable I have ever experienced in any hotel, airbnb or similar. Cooker took a little getting used to and the living room would have benefited from a wood burner or similar and not relying on the underfloor heating which as a guest you had no control over. The staircase would prove tricky for those with mobility issues, but it’s the only way to access the game’s room and the second en-suite bedroom. The other bedroom is on the ground floor. Couldn’t work out if the unpainted plaster walls were meant to be left like that, but the barn was clean if not having a not quite finished look about it. Overall would recommend. Certain area’s did resemble a junk yard behind the second barn with old cars and trailers left abandoned. Overall would recommend for a peaceful stay.

When we arrived we were met by Peter, who showed us around and gave us some history about the property and area.

The Long Barn was the perfect venue for our week stay and we would be happy to stay there again. We were a party of four adults and two dogs and it was the perfect place for us all to spend time together. Our days were filled with walks and the evenings with games of pool in the games room.
