An early Christmas celebration
My partners family live across the world so we decided to come together to celebrate Christmas. High & Little Barns is located in a beautiful part of the world and the information I received in advance and the information at the accommodation was very useful. I ordered a shopping home delivery to the barn and they found the location no problem. The accommodation has everything you can think of and everything was so easy to use and the beds/sofas were so comfortable. We cant wait to go back again.

Amazing stay at High and Little Barns
So much thanks to the team for our stay at High and Little Barn. Our party of 10 stayed here for the duration of our wedding and it was just an amazing place to be. The team were so helpful, the scenery was so beautiful and the facilities were second to none. We had an extremely comfortable stay and I can't wait to return again very soon!

Family stay
Lovely accomodation perfect for our needs The 10 am checkout was a bit harsh with so many of us plus children and babies it felt rushed and stressful which undid the peaceful stay we had experienced. Comfy beds and lovely bedding. Many thanks for a great stay - the games room was a lovely bonus too.

Weekend with friends
Great place to meet up with friends. There were 10 couples in the 2 barns, it was very well equipped with everything we could need and the welcome gifts were great. The beds were all very comfy and the outside space was also very good. The only minor complaint was one of the bedrooms in little barn didn’t have an on suite bathroom but there was a separate toilet, this was a minor thing. Caroline was also very helpful.

A weekend getaway with family
The barns expected all expectations and we couldn't believe that they were even more beautiful in real life. Such a great space for a large group, super sociable with the big dining table and kitchen. Beautiful, modern decor, fitted out to the highest spec, but still with the cosy Cotswolds feel and the games room as a great addition! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful barn beautiful surroundings
We had a wonderful family long weekend stay. The barns were warm, comfortable and fitted with everything that was possibly needed. The fact that every bedroom had its own bathroom was a luxury. Even on a cold evening it was lovely to chill out in the hot tub. A secure field for our dogs gave us complete peace of mind.

High and Little Barn
We had a lovely stay at High & Little Barns. The hut tub and the games barn added to our enjoyment and Little Barn was better than we thought, the teenagers in our group loved it! The only little thing we really wanted to comment on is the showers upstairs tended to flood very quickly, which meant the floors got wet.

Fabulous accommodation!
Beautifully decorated with spacious rooms in the main house and the gorgeous little barn had plenty of room for the older children, which when there are 9 of you and a dog, is perfect! Plenty of useful information left for us to peruse and the games in the outside area for the kids were great. Caroline was always on hand if we needed anything and left us with some lovey Easter biscuits which were delicious and a lovely touch. Thank you for a truly enjoyable Easter break .. we will be back!

Fabulous venue for a large group
A wonderful property in a beautiful setting: well equipped, although more cutlery would have been useful. Loved the games barn and hot tub. My only criticism was that the cream sofas were very grubby and it would have been nice to have been left some dishwasher tablets.

100%
This was a family holiday and was an ideal location with the two barns to use. The barn hub was a great facility offering different games, especially useful when other family members joined us for a birthday celebration. Although it was a shared facility for the whole site everyone respected other visitors and there was no problem fitting in use. Views were amazing and a very beautiful location.

Beautiful Cotswolds Christmas getaway
We’ve just spent Christmas at high and little barns as a family of 9, including two young children. Upon arrival, we were all so impressed by how clean and fresh the whole place felt, both barns were cosy and comfortable (totally decorated for Christmas) with plenty of space for us all. We spent a week there in total and enjoyed all the area had to offer; beautiful river walks, Ye Olde Swan, National Trust visits and Burford, which is only a short distance away and a beautiful little town. The hub barn was a huge bonus and both kids and grown ups loved playing ping pong and foosball. We’ve already recommended to many people and will definitely be back!

Lovely weekend break with friends
Beautiful rural location with local pub nearby. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed to cook meals. Milk, butter, cookies and wine were gratefully received. The hot tub took a while to heat but was enjoyable. A stair gate would have been useful for guests with young children. Nearby fields were waterlogged so take wellies! A great place to spend time with friends and we would love to return again. Thank you.

Stunning Cottages
I am not sure where to start, High and Little barn are absolutely stunning. There was a group of 10 ladies who had a grand time. The place looks even more gorgeous in real life than it does in the photos, plenty of space and even a table to seat all 10 of us. The little touches were lovely. We did have some trouble with heating the hot tub but after we got it going it was perfect. I would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you for letting us stay it really did make our weekend special.

A Beautiful Cotswolds Experience - Highly Recommended
We booked this for a week for my husbands 70th Birthday with all the family and it was the perfect location to choose and the two barns meant we had lots of space and privacy. The accommodation was spotless and well laid out with everything we needed and the garden was amazing, lots of room and our 2 grandsons loved the outdoor hot tub. The bedrooms were all beautiful with en suites which was perfect for everyone to have their own privacy and the super king beds were an added bonus. We had our dog with us and the walks on the property down to the river were fantastic for him and for all of us too. The location was very good and easy to drive to the surrounding villages which all had beautiful bars & restaurants. My only "tiny" niggle was that the outside picnic table which was huge and seated all of us was uncomfortable for sitting on long term, being older and an outdoor fan I would have liked a garden seat but thats purely my preference not a fault of the property which was perfect in every way Overall this is a 5 STAR beautiful property and we will definitely be back as we had such a wonderful holiday and I have no hesitation recommending this this to everyone.

Perfect getaway for family get together
Perfect place for our get together with family visiting from Australia. High and little barns provides plenty of room for a large group and allows space for everyone to have time and do their own thing. Both barns are well equipped and both beautifully presented. Loved the view from High Barn with a perfectly positioned sofa to relax and take it all in. Kitchen was perfect and really liked the pantry with spices and condiments provided. The hot tub is a lovely extra. Great place to watch the stars. Great location to enjoy the local countryside with a short walk to a delightful pub on the river. The games room in the hub was thoroughly enjoyed by the younger members (and often the older ones too!) Would highly recommend and would love to come back soon. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Great location
The two barns have been well converted and provide good accommodation. It worked well for 6 adults and a toddler. Two fridges and a pantry provided plenty of space for food storage, and Caroline, the manager, couldn't have been more helpful in providing the additional kitchen equipment that we needed. Most of the beds were fine, although the twins/superking in the main bedroom were too soft for any of us to sleep on, but fortunately we could use other rooms. The hot tub was great, and much enjoyed, and on a wet morning we thoroughly appreciated the Hub Barn with all its games. The large enclosed garden was perfect for our dog.

Fantastic weekend with friends!
We LOVED High and Little Barns. We were a group of 9 friends, and there was plenty of space to spread out. It is decorated beautifully and is comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome butter, milk, and cookies were gratefully received. There is also olive oil, salt and pepper, and a selection of dried herbs which were appreciated! It honestly felt like a home from home and I would go back in a heartbeat and fully recommend this to anyone....friends, families with kids (huge contained garden)! The hot tub takes a while to heat up and for a first-timer can be a bit awkward, so make sure to follow the detailed instructions in the property manual and you will be fine! The only negative for us was we felt 16:00 was a little late for check-in and 10am a little early for check-out, cutting the weekend a little short. As a compromise an 11am check out, midday on Sundays would be perfect.

Family Christmas
Booked the 2 barns for an early family Christmas. High Barn was perfect for the Children, their partners and the 3 young Grandchildren while oldies enjoyed the Little Barn. Great fenced off area for dogs to roam and the barns are adjacent to the Hub Barn with its indoor games. The Hot Tub was very popular with the younger folk despite taking a while to heat up (start the fire very early). Also easy access to the walk down to the River which in the summer must be a wonderful BBQ or paddling experience. Fittings and fixtures in both barns were good quality and clearly had a designer plan the layout. The High Barn in particular was very well equipped for a 9 sitting Christmas Lunch and we found everything we needed to hand. The wider location has much to offer and we enjoyed a traditional Sunday Roast in the Plough at Kelmscott (11 min drive) which is a bit quieter than the Olde Swan and dog and children welcoming. The rules and guidelines for all the barns and cottages are clearly set out and although one nearby party had not read the guidelines to keep the noise down after 11:00pm, we enjoyed our stay, had no reason to call our contact point and will look to repeat our visit, perhaps in 2024..

Gorgeous property
The barns are just beautiful. They've lovely big rooms, the bed rooms are also really spacious with incredibly comfy beds. The kitchen is great with lots of space, a massive fridge and useful little touches like foil, kitchen roll, washing up liquid and they'd left us delicious bits to eat. So thoughtful. Another massive point for me was how clean the whole place was. I was worried when I realised they allowed animals to stay as I am allergic and have had some awful experiences in the past with animal fur everywhere. However the barns couldn't have been more different. So clean. Never spotted an animal hair or smelt 'wet dog' as a lot of places that accept animals tend to. The only minor downside is the wood fired hot tub. We light a fire the first night, kept it going for 5 hours only to find the tub was luke warm at best and the bottom was cold. The second night after asking for advice we managed to make it too hot and had to leave the lid off for a few hours before we could use it. We maybe managed an hour over our two night stay and used a huge amount of wood to do that. I am not convinced it's all that eco friendly compared to the alternative.
