About this property

Nellie's Barn, offers the utmost peace and tranquility.

Nellie’s Barn is a spacious conversion set amongst the most stunning landscape in the Cotswolds. Nestling in the Windrush Valley (The Windrush Way is quite literally on the doorstep), the barn offers the utmost peace and tranquillity with the Cotswold hotspots of Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Broadway as well as sophisticated Cheltenham all within easy striking distance.

Full of charm and character the barn boasts full height ceilings with beautiful beams and a cosy wood burning stove. Both bedrooms are light and airy with thoughtful finishing touches such as fluffy robes hanging in the wardrobes and portable black-out blinds available on request.
There are an abundance of walks from the doorstep and guest have access to the beautiful paddock complete with summer house overlooking the large duck pond – ideal for those long summer evenings as the sun sets

All the daily activity of the farm takes place one and a half miles away so the only sounds you'll hear will be birdsong, deer barking and owls hooting.

Beautiful Barn in fantastic setting

My first solo holiday since my husband passed away & I couldn’t have found a better place. Debbie was absolutely lovely, and on hearing my dog was a nervous rescue she ensured the farm dogs were kept away, going above and beyond to provide excellent customer care. The barn is beautiful, perfectly located for great walks. Unlimited logs for the log burner was a lovely extra touch.

Great Christmas Break

Stayed here over Christmas and had a brilliant time. Such a lovely property and so well equipped and welcoming. The hamper provided was exceptional and very much appreciated. Our friends stayed nearby and joined us for Christmas Day & Boxing Day and were impressed with the accommodation and especially our hamper Our two dogs enjoyed their stay too.

A haven which is home from home

This was my second visit to Nellie's Barn. The cottage, facilities and location make this a very special place to visit. Being dog friendly is a bonus. Debbie is so supportive and welcoming which makes the stay so much more enjoyable. I feel from looking at other reviews she really is the key factor in it being so popular. I look forward to returning again

Wonderfully peaceful.

It’s the third time we’ve stayed at Nellie’s Barn and it still wraps us up in its tranquility and warmth. Debbie is a wonderful host and she goes above and beyond with the welcome hamper. For us it’s walks directly outside the door that we love. The barn is warm, cosy and beautifully clean, we will definitely keep going back. It’s our get away from it all go to place.

Feedback

We received a warm friendly welcome from the owner and much appreciated the welcome hamper but Nellies barn did not live up to expectations as the interior was a little dated and well used. Sadly most of the house needed a good clean as there were a large number of cobwebs in most rooms. We chose not to inform the owner as it would have taken up too much time out of the holiday to rectify so we used the vacuum ourselves.

Best holiday

We had an amazing time staying at Nellie’s Barn…could not have asked for anything better …great location and condition of the barn was very clean and comfortable in a quiet location in a farm setting. Thanks to Debbie for welcoming and assisting us patiently with our many demands. This is one place I definitely want to return …would recommend a relaxing 7 day break I/o short breaks as there is so much to see and do in Cotswold.

Another Great Stay

This was our second stay at Nellies barn. The location is amazing and our dog Pip loves it!!. The barn is finished to a very high standard with underfloor heating, log burner and all mod cons you could want. Despite being in a rural setting the Wi-Fi works well. As always there was a very nice welcome basket of goodies upon arrival (thank you Debbie). We will definitely be coming back for a third time in the future.

Countryside heaven !!!

We had an amazing week at Nellie’s barn. Only 10 minutes into Bourton on the water but totally secluded and peaceful. The barn is beautifully presented and Debbie supplied a very generous welcome basket of goodies. Our dog was in heaven especially having her own paddock to play in every morning. If you are looking for lots of great dog walks they are all on your doorstep here. We can’t wait to go back for another stay!!!

Away from it all

Excellent location, away from it all! Only disappointment was that there was no enclosed 'garden' to just let our two dogs out for early morning wee. There was a paddock but we had to walk the dogs to it, so property description slightly misleading. However would certainly visit again for the lovely walks from the property. The food hamper provided on arrival was a lovely touch and the cottage was very comfortable and well appointed.

EXCELLENT COTTAGE IN A SUPERB LOCATION

Probably the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. Quiet farm location. Magnificent welcome hamper. Efficient under-floor heating + log burner. Bathrooms very good and well equipped kitchen. Easy to get to from M5 and easy to find - postcode takes you straight to the cottage. Well located in the Cotswolds - close to the Slaughters, Bourton-on-the-Water & Stow. 2 Dogs were fine. Karndean flooring throughout. Plenty of walking around the farm and drive. We will probably be back.

June

Nellies Barn is the perfect place to relax, very quiet, as this is not the main working part of the farm. Very well equipped kitchen with a fabulous welcome hamper. Large Bedrooms with good storage space. Bathrooms all had shower mixers over the bath, which can be difficult to get the temperature to balance, could do with some grab rails as older members of a party did find it a little difficult getting in & out of the baths. Nice outside dining space. The biggest bonus was the paddock area about 100 yards from the cottage, which gave us a great area to exercise our dog which he really enjoyed. Overall an excellent holiday cottage.

Excellent in every way.

We've stayed at AirB&Bs and rentals across the planet (though mostly in the USA) and have never come across one as well appointed, located, planned and provided for. An absolute pleasure to stay in. Walks from the barn? Check. Friendly dogs and people? Check. Gorgeous and well maintained building? Check. I could go on and on. Do yourself a favor and visit the Black Horse (the nearest pub) for delightful food and ambiance. Watch the deer and pheasants roam the fields from the pavilion overlooking the small pond. Light the fire and settle into the sofa. Top notch.

Lovely!

We'd thoroughly enjoyed a stay at Nellie's Barn a few years ago; so when we planned a repeat visit to the area, Nellie's Barn was an obvious choice again. It's a lovely, spacious, well-equipped, well-presented hideaway - everything one could need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. Highly recommended. We're very glad that we went back - and when we're in the area again we'l be back at Nellie's Barn again. Just one thing... We've given a '3' rather than a '5' to the location. To explain... It's a long way from anywhere - there's no shop, pub or anything for several miles. That suited us down the the ground - we love peace and quiet! But if someone does't read descriptions properly and/or can't read a map, and if they think that they'll be in walking distance of all sorts of amenities, they might be disappointed. (But it would be their fault for not reading through things properly.)

Great Holiday Hideaway

I say Hideaway because of the somewhat remote location and the approach by way of single track roads, one of which is through a ford, easily manageable if the water is not running high. This ensures, however, utter peace and tranquility and we found it delightful. Hence our second return visit. The hostess is very considerate and leaves a more than ample welcome basket to see guests through breakfast the day after arrival. The barn is large and comfy, very well equipped, has two bedrooms and bathrooms, living room and loft with a sofa and shelves of books, TV’s, kitchen and eat-in area. The kitchen is very well equipped. Debbie, the owner, noticed we were not properly prepared for the very cold, windy and rainy weather which made the night-time concerts we were attending in a tent pretty uncomfortable, so she loaned me a vest/gilet and cardigans to keep me from freezing during the concerts until I could get to a shop to buy a cozy fleece.

A peaceful break

A peaceful break away from the maddening crowds. Meeting friends here was a good choice. The barn was all we could wish for. The welcome basket a lovely touch including a jar of bonio biscuits for our dog. Cosmetics in the bathrooms of good quality and such comfy beds with quality linens. I hope we will find time to come back in the summer to see the area in full bloom. Thankyou for our stay.

Relaxing break

Nellie’s Barn was the perfect place to stay during our first visit to the Cotswolds. A short drive to Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold. Debbie provided a hamper of goodies on arrival and was there to meet us. The addition of an enclosed paddock for our dog was perfect too. The barn itself was well-equipped and comfortable and although on a working farm, it was very quiet. A great place to relax.

Great quiet restful comfortable self-catering cottage

We were very pleased with the accommodation and helpfulness of our hostess. The cottage is true to the photos on the website. It was convenient for visits around the Cotswolds. One does need a car and should be aware that approach from either direction is via single track lanes, one involving a ford which when we were there was navigable because of the current drought keeping the water level low. There are many walking paths at hand. We were given a very nice welcome hamper which saw us through the first evening so that we did not have to rush out for groceries.

Off the beaten track !

We chose Nellie's Barn because of its location, it is situated on a working farm and away from any town or village. Access to footpaths is available which will take you through some of the most stunning English countryside available. One of the main plus points is the quietness of the location, other than birdsong there is little to disturb you. Debbie our host was helpful without being intrusive and provided a lovely clean and well equipped cottage in which we spent a most wonderful week, the first three days of which we walked from the cottage to various locations and enjoyed all the Cotswolds had to offer. The property itself is well equipped, plenty of water and comfortable beds made for a relaxing stay. Having acres and acres of land around to walk on from the doorstep made our dog a very happy hound. We made the most of the week and would recommend walking into Bourton on the Water and also visiting the Black Horse PH in Naunton where we enjoyed a couple of delightful meals and evening drinks. We can highly recommend the property and would have no hesitation in returning.

Lovely stay at Nellie’s barn

Perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds, located on a farm which was great for my dog. There was a gated padlock we could use to walk him off lead. The Barn itself was very cute, high ceilings and exposed beams! Although it was June the weather was hit and miss so I loved the log burner for the colder nights and the unlimited logs was a bonus! I loved all the little extras that were in the barn from the start. I’ve stayed in a lot of lodge type accommodation in the uk with my dog but the selection here was above and beyond anything I’ve received before. Debbie the host was very welcoming.
