    “It was a nice stay, however would be worth while to share more realistic photos to set expectations of the outdoor areas actual size and upstairs.”

    The signs around the property about cleaning and fees that will be charged aren’t the most comforting when you’re enjoying a weekend away. All our guests made a comment about these at some point. The light bulbs are extremely cold and bright and no option of dimming, we had to remove most lightbulbs and go to the extreme of checking the local supermarket if we could buy some, as the owner wasn’t able to help.

    The signs around the property about cleaning and fees that will be charged aren’t the most comforting when you’re enjoying a weekend away. All our guests made a comment about these at some point. The light bulbs are extremely cold and bright and no option of dimming, we had to remove most lightbulbs and go to the extreme of checking the local supermarket if we could buy some, as the owner wasn’t able to help. It meant having a cosy evening was placing our phone lights round the room to try and make spotlights instead. Beds need replacing, some guests ended up doing mattresses on the floor due to the bed being so squeaky and rocky. Cleaned before arrival as expected but the whole upstairs was over powering smelling of bleach, so we had to air out all the rooms as much as we could. I recommend just making some small tweaks to make guests experiences better and more homely. Good for a group as nice to have multiple bathrooms available, and open living space, but very small outdoor space or area to sit in the sun. Over all a lovely stay due to the company and being all together but definitely some improvements and expectations to be changed.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback and your suggestions for improvement. The owner will investigate and see what he can do. The beds have been replaced recently, the owner is going to ensure that all the joints are tightened. We are pleased that your group enjoyed your stay all together. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

The property

Tithe Barn, Lyneham is a superb choice for a large gathering of friends or family looking to be located right in the heart of the Cotswolds and within a very comfortable and spacious barn conversion.

We see it as the ideal choice for a family country holiday given its surroundings, tucked down a very quiet lane on the edge of small village.

Set on a working farm within a small Cotswolds hamlet, the barn has nearby access to the rolling countryside of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds.

Over the years guests have regularly returned to Tithe Barn (which is a very good sign) and we suspect it is because it has a wonderful open plan living space which is absolutely ideal for entertaining.

The owners who are around the corner and happy to give advice and ideas on what to do locally have worked hard to make this an attractive destination and together the property and the classic countryside surroundings make it perfect as a get-a-way choice.

Internally the barn has been well renovated and provides superb facilities and touches including the enormous windows in the centre of the building.

Externally this English Country barn has an enclosed garden and access to brilliant walks in every direction.

An absolute favourite with our customers, and you can see why.PLEASE NOTE THE COTTAGE CAN SLEEP 10 PEOPLE IN TOTAL 8 IN BEDS AND 2 ON THE SOFA BED.

You can use the sofa bed FREE of charge but you MUST bring your own bed linen and towels for the sofa bed.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

About the location

BURFORD

Swinbrook 2.4 miles; Little Barrington 3.5 miles; Minster Lovell 5.6 miles.

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, it 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 midway between Oxford and Cheltenham, 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 change 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 tea shops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudeley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all within ten miles.
