“We booked Malt Barn for my wife's birthday.”

Our group consisted of ten adults and four young children. Upon our arrival we were met by the wonderful Housekeeper 'Dot'. She gave us a very comprehensive tour of the premises explaining where things were and how things worked. Every one of the adults thought Malt Barn was lovely and the kids were exhausted at the end of the day having visited Crocodile world, Burford and on the Sunday Carterton for the Remebrance Ceremony. We can thoroughly recommend Malt Barn. Thank you Dot for all of ...

“As a family of 13, ages 9 to 73, plus 2 dogs, we all enjoyed our few days at Malt Barn.”

The house was spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. The hot tub was a great success as were all the outdoor games. The only issue we had was with the oven shelves not fitting securely. This almost caused a nasty accident when removing hot dishes. If this was fixed Malt Barn would be given 10 stars!!

“An exceptional property.”

Very clean and extremely well equipped. The bedrooms are very adaptable so will suit all groups and families. Very pleased with our stay & hope to rebook

- Keith, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Malt Barn. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and we hope you enjoyed the hot tub also. We would love to have you stay again with us in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Ben July 2024

“The property was lovely and clean and the kitchen well equipped.”

However, the bedrooms were incredibly hot and not all had fans. There was insufficient drawer space in most rooms and no hooks in both bathrooms and bedrooms. In the downstairs bedroom the mattresses were very uncomfortable but all the others were very good. The outdoor space was brilliant. It would have been helpful to have another fridge in the kitchen when a lot of people are staying and facilities should be checked carefully as we arrived to a broken dishwasher!

- Ben, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Malt Barn. We are so please to hear you enjoyed the house and we hope you enjoyed the hot tub too. We do take all feedback on board and will speak to the Owner regarding the fans, the possibility of some hooks in the bathrooms and check the mattresses, along with the dishwasher. Most cottages tend to have a mixture of mattress types to try and suite every guests preference the best we can. We hope to welcome you again soon for another stay with us in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Karen April 2024

“We have just come back from a fabulous Hen weekend at Malt Barn.”

We were greeted by the lovely Dot, who showed us around the property and went through all the information we needed. The property itself was amazing. Plenty of room for our group of 13 and it was spotless. The house and kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything we needed. The annex was literally a step away from the main house so we still felt part of the group.The grounds were very well kept making it a pleasure to sit outside in the lovely weather (we were so lucky!) Once again the hot tub was spotlessly clean, with its showers and toilets making it so much more convenient to use. I would highly recommend this property. We didn't want to come home!

- Karen, April 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are delighted that your group enjoyed your weekend stay and were pleased with all the facilities. Good luck with the wedding. We hope we can welcome you back for another celebration. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Michael April 2024

“Spotlessly clean and easy to use.”

The only problem being the oven which for fourteen of us to use was small and the shelves slipped out of their runner. Having said that we managed okay. I would like to see a few coat hooks in the annex as there was nowhere to hang jackets, especially if they were wet. We had a lovely time and these small things did not spoil that.

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Malt Barn. We are delighted to hear that you all had a wonderful time at the Barn and we will pass on your comments to the Owner for review. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

“Very good property - everything as advertised - only super minor thing was trays in oven don’t fit well”

- Graham, March 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Malt Barn. It's always lovely to hear when guests have enjoyed staying, we hope you all had a lovely Easter Break with us. We will pass on your comments to the Owner, with regards to the oven trays. We would love to welcome you all again soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Samantha March 2024

“We absolutely loved this house.”

There was plenty of room for the whole family. Well equipped kitchen and a cosy house even when cold outside. The Annex was very close to the house which we were nicely surprised by as it didn’t seem that way in the photos. The garden was absolutely lovely and plenty of room for the dog to run around, we loved sitting in the courtyard in the sun too. The hot tub/room was great, and we enjoyed playing table tennis under cover outside. Plenty of car parking space and set back from the road. Lovely area for sightseeing. The Cotswold Wildlife Park and Crocodile World are very close which we would highly recommend. The host was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you

- Samantha, March 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Malt Barn. It's wonderful to hear how you all had a fabulous time during your stay with us and from the sounds of it you enjoyed lots of the wonderful places to visit in the Cotswolds. We would also recommend Blenheim Palace for your next visit, it has so much to see and do. Also we are lucky enough to have lots of National Trusts to visit not far away. We would love to welcome you all back again soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Christopher January 2024

“Excellent holiday home for a large group of well behaved adults and teenagers.”

Very well presented and great location for touring the Cotswolds. Seven lovely bedrooms with plenty of space to spread out. Lovely gardens and the separate very warm and insulated outbuilding hosts the large hot tub and shower and toilet block. A fine place to host a major celebration. We stayed 19 to 22 January 2024.

- Christopher, January 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Malt Barn. It's lovely to hear you had a wonderful family gathering at the barn and that it was perfect for your needs. We hope to welcome you all back again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Helen November 2023

“A lovely place to stay with comfortable bedrooms, and spacious living areas that allowed our group to have space to themselves as well as share dinners and hang out together.”

The facilities were great. The hot tub being in its own building with toilet and showers was great, plus being able to open the trifold doors on a lovely sunny day to enjoy the garden from the hot tub was fantastic. The location offers the best of rural idyll with supermarkets being a short drive (or walk) away. It was peaceful and any planes in the area were unobtrusive. Highly recommend for both summer and winter.

- Helen, November 2023

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to hear that your group had such an enjoyable stay and made best use of all the facilities. We hope we can welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Sheena September 2023

“Lovely house and very well equipped.”

A small milk carton in fridge on arrival would be a nice gesture as you provide tea and coffee.

- Sheena, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your time away and appreciate your suggestions for improvement. We hope to welcome you again one day in the future. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Margaret August 2023

“Great property, ideal for large family groups, lots of space and outdoor activities for the children.”

Very clean and well cared for inside Only issue, needed a new outdoor parasol as the one there was damaged and not very clear. Would help to put up a warning that the floor in the hot tub area gets slippery when wet

- Margaret, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Malt Barn. It's lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for letting us know about the parasol and floor by the hot tub, we will pass on your comments to the Owner for review. Kind regards Manor Cottages Property Owner
Nicola May 2023

“Lovely Barn Extremely clean, kitchen short of nothing, plenty of space to eat, sit and relax.”

Everyone loved the hot tub and great to have a toilet and shower handy. The grandchildren loved the garden, enjoyed playing table tennis and all the other games provided. Plenty of places to visit within easy reach, a great place to stay with all the family.

- Nicola, May 2023

Thank you for such lovely feedback. It's brilliant to hear that you enjoyed your time away at Malt Barn and we are so glad that your family did as well. We look forward to welcoming you back one day in the future. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Victoria April 2023

“This was a great place to stay, for our Silver Wedding celebrations!”

The rooms were comfortable and there was plenty of communal space. The kitchen was really well equipped, which was great as we provided the place and the family did all the catering. (Could do with an electric whisk - our fourteen year old grand daughter had planned a massive Pavlova! She succeeded, with a rotation of whiskers.) We had a lovely weekend, which will remain in all our memories.

- Victoria, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments. Very pleased to hear that you all enjoyed your Silver Wedding celebrations at Malt Barn. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner
Nicky April 2023

“Lovely location, great house, fitted in our large family comfortably, very clean.”

Dot was really helpful and responsive leading up to our stay. Kitchen very well equipped. Hot tub great addition. Only small issues: wifi not great throughout the house and couldn’t seem to control the house temperature (it was too warm! Better than the other way round though!) deposit refunded quickly, no problem. Many thanks for a lovely stay, would recommend the house.

- Nicky, April 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are pleased all your family were comfortable and felt well looked after. We hope to welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Ian March 2023

Dot was very welcoming and accommodating.

Tony March 2023

“House was great”

- Tony, March 2023
Clair February 2023

“The hot tub was not working on arrival.”

A lazy spa was provided as a replacement. Engineers visited but the main tub still didn't heat. Whilst we appreciated the gesture if the lazy spa, our group consisted on older ladies, many of whom could not clamber into the lazy spa. It was also too small for us all to fit in. This was a huge disappointment as this was one of the main reasons for choosing the cottage. The stairs to the annexe are metal and not very easy to navigate. There were so many rules & notices, we felt rather uncomfortable in what was a lovely and otherwise homely cottage. Dot was very helpful & informative.

- Clair, February 2023

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that there was a problem with the hot tub as this is unusual at Malt Barn. Unfortunately, the pump failure meant that the hot tub was unsafe and a specialist was called as a matter of urgency to source parts and fix the issues. In the meantime, the owner authorised an alternative lazy spa to be set up in the hot tub house for you which was the best solution that could be found at short notice. The health and safety of guests staying at the property is of the utmost importance and any notices are intended to help guests have a safe and relaxing stay. Malt Barn has a very good housekeeper and we're pleased to hear that the she was on hand during your stay. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner
Emma December 2022

“We had a fantastic stay at Malt Barn over Christmas.”

Beautiful property, exceptionally clean and Dot the housekeeper was amazing. Would definitely recommend Malt Barn!

- Emma, December 2022

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Malt Barn. We will pass on your lovely feedback to Dot, she is amazing at what she does at the Barn. We hope to welcome you back again very soon in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages Property Owner
Hazel December 2022

“Hi, we had a great time!”

The only comment in terms of comfort was the heating, it was uncomfortably hot, and opening the window in Dec meant a freezing draft, seemed unbelievable not to have it running generally lower. Other than that, perfect thanks

- Hazel, December 2022

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at Malt Barn . It's lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and I'm sorry to hear the house was a little warm for your liking, i guess it's better than being to cold in the very cold spell we had in December at around -10. I'm sure if you had got in touch with the Housekeeper she would have looked into this for you. Never the less, we hope you had a fabulous time at the barn and we will pass on your comments to the owner. Kind regards Manor Cottages Property Owner
Sarah November 2022

“Superb house and very well presented, idea for our party.”

The housekeeper was very helpful, we did have a couple of questions while there and she responded very quickly so felt very well looked after.

- Sarah, November 2022

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Malt Barn. It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at the Barn and we hope to welcome you back again very soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages Property Owner
C November 2022

“The Malt Barn was perfect for our family 60th birthday celebration!”

The kitchen allowed the family ‘chefs’ to prepare meals that we gathered to eat together in the dining room. The grandkids had great fun exploring, and we all made the best of the mild November weather to play in the garden! A the whole family took turns relaxing in the beautiful hot tub which was perfect for our one year old and our 60 year olds! It was clean and well equipped and absolutely ideal for us,

- C, November 2022

We are so pleased that you chose Malt Barn for your family celebration and found the space and facilities worked well for you. It's brilliant you were able to make good use of the hot tub and enjoy the mild weather. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Caroline November 2022

“Comfortable property with good outdoor space.”

Well equipped although we couldn't find a lemon squeezer (minor point as a lot of kit in kitchen). A floor plan on the listing would help to understand the layout better beforehand. Beds were so comfy the children want them at home, but bedlinen seemed dated. Style of locks on doors potentially tricky with toddlers. Loved the table tennis and hot tub.

- Caroline, November 2022

Thank you for your feedback and comments, which have been noted. We are pleased that you liked the property, it's space and facilities. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
William July 2022

“Yet another fantastic holiday at Malt Barn, our second visit.”

We had so much fun together as a 3 generation family. As always the cottage was superb, very clean, the kitchen was well stocked with crockery, pans etc more than, enough for a large family. Very spacious grounds. The hot tub, table tennis and the other games were well used and appreciated particularly by our younger members who were quite competitive! A warm welcome from Dot as always. Her helpful and friendly manner and willingness to be on hand if needed was excellent. As a suggestion to allow downtime treat for games to be connected, or a different channel for other members of the family, there could be more TVs as there is only one in the lounge. The Fairhurst, Coupar and Aalders family.

- William, July 2022

Thank you so much for this lovely review. We're delighted that you and your family had such a fantastic holiday and enjoyed all the amenities on offer at Malt Barn. We hope to welcome you for a third visit soon! Property Owner
Susan October 2021

“The property itself is 5*, it was spotlessly clean, all outside space was excellent including hot tub.”

The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, which was great for all the family to cook. However, the thing that let it down was the furnishings, which I would consider 3*. No blinds in the upstair bedroom skylights so awake as soon as it got light, no bar stools which meant only 6 people could be seated in kitchen, only 1 decent tv in property (you’d expect TVs in each of the bedrooms, very old coffee machine/toaster/kettle etc. The decoration, ie bedding/pillows were basic multi-buy. We felt for the price to stay, these things could have been more upmarket. Overall we really enjoyed stay but the lack of blinds in the bedroom was a particular issue unless you like being awake at the crack of dawn.

- Susan, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The owner has installed blinds into the skylights. We are pleased to hear the property was spotlessly clean and we totally agree the hot tub and outside space is excellent! We hope you return to the Cotswolds in the near future. Manor Cottages Property Owner
Alison October 2021

“We had a great family holiday.”

The Hot Tub was a great success especially with the 3 young children in the party. They also enjoyed the access to the outdoor games, and as the weather was reasonable, they offered great opportunities for fun. The barn was warm and comfortable. The rooflight windows did cause some issues for those who find sleep in the light difficult, but a solution was found which caused no damage. Party members using the Annex bedroom felt more hooks for hanging clothes would be helpful. We would also have appreciated hooks in the Hot Tub building to hang towels/jackets. Dot, the friendly housekeeper, was very helpful, and available for any problems.

- Alison, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at Malt Barn. We are glad to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and will pass on your comments to the owner with regards to the hanging space. Property Owner
Helen September 2021

“The hot tub wasn’t working when we arrived.”

Using Google we found the manual and sorted it. Also could do with blinds in the bedrooms.

Mark August 2021

“We had a great holiday at the Malt Barn.”

The place was very clean and the facilities excellent. Danielle was very helpful when we had an issue with the washing machine and even took some clothes to another property to be washed for us. The only issue we had was the lack of skylight blinds in the upstairs bedrooms which meant most of us did not get the amount of sleep we would have liked. If these could be added in the future this property would be perfect.

- Mark, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Malt Barn. It's great to hear you enjoyed your stay and we will pass on your comments about the blinds to the owners for review. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Peter August 2021

“Several things to point out.”

1. Had to clear up previous people’s dogs mess from garden on arrival - not pleasant. 2. No blinds in bedrooms made it hard to sleep beyond about 5am 3. Garden not secure - had to find Wood and block areas off so that dogs could safely be in small garden area. 4. Dvd not working - contacting them, told us small tv broke last week. Had to go and buy an hdmi cable to get it working! (Could have told us this as wasted whole evening trying to sort) 5. Only bath towels provided - no hand towels! Stated 2 towels per person. 6. No oven gloves - had to go and buy! 7. Rubbish and recycling in terrible mess - we sorted it all out. Not been put out by previous people and flies everywhere! 8. WiFi not working - previous people moved booster box and it took a lot of messages and me fiddling about to get it working. Other than these things (many of which should have been checked before new guests arrived) we had a lovely week. House suited our needs.

- Peter, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at Malt Barn. We will pass on your comments to the owner for review and apologise for Housekeeping having missed any dogs mess on the grass. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner
Edward July 2020

“Had a lovely holiday.”

House was clean and beds were comfy. A few things that spoiled the overall experience: The check-in and check-out time kept changing throughout our booking and stay so more communication is needed between the housekeepers and Sykes. There are NO blinds on any of the skylights in the upstairs bedrooms, some of which are directly above the beds. Housekeeper’s response was,”it is what it is”. We had to use bin bags and towels to block out the light! Housekeeper came round and treated the hot tub at the exact moment we were getting in and told us we couldn’t then use it for 2 hours. Not ideal! Constant beeping noise was coming from the utility room. Rung housekeeper and was informed I needed to fix the problem myself. Again, not ideal!

- Edward, July 2020

We are glad you had a lovely holiday and we apologise for the few things that affected your overall stay. These have been addressed with the house keeper. Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Patrice February 2019

“The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped for people who plan to cook.”

We discovered the amazing park just across the main road which has a wonderful adventure playground and great paths for joggers. The nearby Masons Arms was a friendly local pub and in warmer months the outdoor space would definitely be very nice to use.

- Patrice, February 2019
Melissa November 2018

“Lovely place for all family to stay.”

Great facilities. While this barn do allow dogs to stay be weary of the additional charge and what it covers. Our dog did get some mud on the bed sheets which we were charged to replace to the tune of £80 rather than a dry clean. We'd paid an additional £20 per dog to stay and this wasn't considered when deducting the cost of replacing the sheets. We like to take our dogs with us on holiday and this is somewhere we wouldn't come back to on the basis of above experience.

- Melissa, November 2018
Mrs Jenkinson October 2018

“Malt Barn was a bit tricky to find from the directions we were sent.”

The oven was so complicated to use you needed to work at NASA! But these were very minor issues as the accommodation was superb and better equiped than our own homes. Right down to a cupcake stand which we needed for my birthday cupcakes! We were all very impresed. The hot tub building was out of action which we weren't advised about but the hot tube was still usable so that was fine. Pub the Mason's Arms down the road was very good value for Sunday lunch.

The property

This delightful holiday property set in a quiet location within the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, a short distance from Burford.

The property is presented to a very high standard with seven bedrooms and four bathrooms available making it absolutely prefect for large group gatherings - be they friends or family.

Internally the property retains many period features along with countless contemporary touches to give this a real high quality, minimalist feel.

An element that particularly appealed to us was the large ground floor which has the feeling of being 'open plan' but actually has separate 'rooms' and thus creates a sense of being together without all the noise that this can sometimes bring!

Similarly appealing are the large gardens to the rear of the property, which the owners have thoughtfully added a hot tub, skittles and table tennis which are just as much fun for friends (adults) as they are families with children!

A great choice. Maximum of 14 people. NOTE: This property has a £600 good housekeeping bond This amount will be taken via the housekeeper. Note: Daily cleaning service available charged separately. Pets allowed The hot tub is included in the rental price.

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.

Please Note: This property does not accept Saturday arrivals.

NOTE: This property has a £600 good housekeeping bond This amount will be taken via the housekeeper, who will be in contact 7-10 days before the arrival date.

Note: Daily cleaning service available charged separately.

Note Well behaved dogs allowed, £25 per week/each.
