Lovely converted barn in the countryside

Prince Barn in the Goodlake Barn complex was a wonderful place to stay on the outskirts of the Cotswolds. It was within an hours drive of all of the key towns within the Cotswolds. The barn conversion has been done very tastefully with lovely furnishings within the "barn". A very comfortable place to stay for an extended period.

Excellent accommodation

Really comfortable, only one problem could not adjust the temperature on a shower, it was repaired in 2 Hours, really impressed how quickly it was repaired. I would have to wait a week to get a plumber at home. They ensure that nothing will stop you enjoying your stay.

Great converter barn!

We loved it. The building was full of character in a really quiet location. There was plenty of room for 7 of us, including 1 infant. We will definitely book again. There were a couple of odd things missing in the kitchen, spatulas etc and the speaker didn’t seem to work, but we managed. I would also look at some of the other barns on the site as they seemed to have designated outdoor spaces. Overall we loved it and would highly recommend!

Beautiful Barn

Prince Barn was absolutely perfect for our stay, with plenty of space for us. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The beds were huge, comfortable and had crisp fresh bedding on them. The showers were hot and powerful with plenty of towels supplied. The directions given were easily followed and pick up of the key was very straightforward.

A little surprised!

The property is excellent as it has been for our previous stays however the lack of a coffee plunger, dish washing tablets, washing up detergent, and a reasonable number of garbage bags will remain top of mind for our next holiday. Perhaps an increased cost may be a way of not interrupting our stay and ensuring we don’t have to drive some distance to the supermarket to buy items we were not expecting to have to buy. Thank you Bernard

Attention to dusting

Although generally both Prince and the barn were clean there were a lot of cobwebs. In the bedrooms on the bedside tables. Which should be visible.

Review of Prince Barn

Prince Barn was a wonderful place to stay. We very much enjoyed our 3 nights there, It was a very comfortable place to stay with a very welcoming vibe. The only negative was that we couldn't pick up a cellphone signal on any of our phones, but that asides, it was a great stay. Thanks so much.

Group holiday

A great place for a group stay. Different families took various of the barns and were able to meet up whilst still having privacy at night.

Lovely cottage, shame about the cleaning

A delightful cottage in a super location let down badly by cleaning standards; sticky dining room table, dirty toilet, dirty dishes in the cupboard, lots of dead flies on floors and window sills, coffeecup marks on side tables and dirty windows. It is a shame as all these things could be easily have been avoided with more diligent cleaners or a supervisor inspection.

Enjoyable short break

Booked Prince and Punch Barns for a group of 10. Both Barns were well equipped and served as an excellent base for day trips to Oxford and Blenheim Palace. Great for a relaxing, lazy break

Lovely family holiday

Travelled end of July as a party of 10 (6 in Prince barn - 4 adults and 2 children) & 4 in punch barn - 2 adults & 2 children) everything as described and as shown in pictures. Really lovely barns, well equipped and located within a peaceful picturesque small village - a great base for exploring the cotswolds. The field near the barns provided the perfect place for the children to run around and play too! Plenty of parking spaces and would definitely consider returning as well as recommending to others.

Wedding accommodation

A fabulous place for a large group. With wedding guests we were able to spread out and really enjoy our stay. Shower in the communal eating area hilarious! A couple more large pans would be fab but otherwise the place was great. Extremely comfortable and beautifully clean. Would recommend to other large parties. My only issue was being asked to prove that I had paid. You seemed to have some IT problems your end but didn't at any point apologise for the way in which is was handled, which was shocking considering the price paid for a few days.

Lovely accommodation beautiful location

Fabulous few days stay at Prince cottage for our 3 generation party. The downstairs bedroom and en-suite was perfect for my 83 year old mother. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, well equipped and perfectly located for a visit to Oxford and the Cotswolds. Just what we needed after a difficult few weeks.

Lovely stay

Overall a great stay. For us it would have been good to know that due to the thickness of the barn walls, there was no phone/text reception. New pillows and duvets are needed. Also new kitchen utensils.

Beautiful stay in the Cotswolds!

We had such a beautiful time staying in the gorgeous Prince Barn over Christmas. As an adult family of 6 we were more than comfortable, and the barn was very well equipped — exactly what we were looking for considering we were cooking a full Christmas spread. The location is beautiful and quaint, and quiet but nice to stroll around. They were incredibly hospitable and helpful — especially considering they were able to accommodate our very last minute booking! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

A Long Weekend at Goodlake Barns

We rented the whole property to entertain family and friends for our daughter's wedding. A perfect venue for this sort of gathering, with cooking facilities to make catering for 28 as easy as it could be, and a communal room big enough to seat us all for meals in comfort. A very well-run group of properties

Very nice place

Very nice place in a very nice area and many attractions to visit. The Barn is beautiful, very comfortable and well agenced and equipped. What only misses is to meet the owner. This is probably the way it is done in the self-catering type of rental, if we compare to Bed and breakfast for example. Anyway, a welcome discussion would have been appraciated.

Luxury in a lovely part of the Cotswolds

My group of 26 (16 adults + 10 kids) actually rented all 5 barns for a long weekend break, and we all had a fantastic time. Each barn was very well presented, and all kitchens well stocked, the beds were comfy and all in all we couldn't fault the place. There's lots to do nearby, and plenty of great places to eat as well, so we were spoiled for choice. We went to the Cotswolds wildlife park on Saturday and that's a great day out for families. We got a takeaway curry that night from the local restaurant and it was amazing, and great value too. On Sunday we stayed at the barns, playing ball games with the kids in the private paddock, and we had a BBQ for dinner. It was way getting bits for the BBQ and for breakfasts etc..., as there was a Waitrose, Aldi and Tesco superstores. We all loved it so much we're going to book again for 2020!
