About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Elegantly furnished former barn in quiet rural spot, South Cotswolds.

Single-storey former cowshed containing two king-size bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, the other a separate bathroom, as well as a fully-equipped modern kitchen/ diner and sitting room. Both bedrooms and the sitting room have TVs and are centrally-heated, with underfloor heating throughout. Independent access on ground floor. Private, secure parking.

Quiet with country views. Positioned equally between Bristol, Bath and the Cotswolds in the middle of the South Gloucestershire countryside, close to three market towns, Chipping Sodbury, Thornbury and Wotton-Under-Edge. There are lots of walks, country pubs and supermarkets nearby.

Ideally located for those looking to visit Bristol, Bath and the Cotswolds, as well as those specifically coming to Cheltenham Races, Cardiff rugby internationals and Badminton horse trials. You will need a car but we can provide recommendations for taxis if you would like to leave the car at home in the evening.

No smoking and no parties or events. Pets not to be left unattended.

Quiet countryside retreat
A comfortable property let down a little by minor issues. 2nd bathroom needs some TLC. Edging from carpet to wooden flooring needs attention. Cupboard door needs fixing. TV freeview so limited HD channels but plenty of other channels to watch. Parking secure right outside property. First picture is of owner's House not the barn you stay in. Otherwise a good time away and attentive host. Recommend for 2 couples as 2nd bed is a double.

Lovely
Really nice and our hosts were great. A couple of points though. As the property is self catering, it would be beneficial if there was sufficient cupboard space in the kitchen to put packs/cereals Tec, also make plain that the fridge is a ladder fridge and does not have a freezer. Otherwise it was great. Nice location, we felt very private, the dog loved it too. Thanks for a lovely break.

Brilliant, can fully recommend
My partner and I, along with my brother and his wife (plus one dog) had a mid week break at Bagstone Barn, we were all surprised about the size of the converted cow shed, very spacious and very well equipped. James and his wife really make you feel really welcome. Great location, for visiting the larger cities in the area, but better still are the nearby villages, bridle paths for walking, local pubs/restaurants. While James overlooked ordering some sunshine we had no complaints about the accommodation, the welcome, the facilities, or the surprise of provisions supplied on arrival, (milk, butter bread, coffee, tea ect). We all had a throughly great time and would recommend Bagstone Barn.

Great location for a West Country visit
We stayed here for three nights to attend a family function nearby. Three adults, my wife and myself and my mother in law….with two dogs. We were met by our host James who was friendly and welcoming. Accommodation was all on one level and was clean and comfortably furnished. Many nice touches, a very nice coffee machine with a supply of beans and a nice welcome pack of bread, butter jam etc. we would have happily stayed longer but the accommodation was excellent fir our short stay there. We would be happy to recommend it.

Great location for dog friendly relaxing break
We booked the property for a New Year break with friends and our dog. James and Susan were friendly and welcoming and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is great for travelling to nearby towns, we visited Tetbury and Cirencester, but Bath and Bristol are also within easy reach. The property sits within a gated area, providing parking and a safe area for the dog to run around in.

Lovely peaceful property and location
We were welcomed by James who is a friendly and helpful host, to his sparkling clean, warm and comfortable property. The property was warm and beautiful, with little touches such as shower and shampoo products, milk, butter, jam and bread to make us feel instantly at home. I stayed there, with my daughter, to visit family in the area. The local pub (walking distance) was great for a relaxing beer and evening meal. Thoroughly recommended!

Idyllic Place for Quality Family Time.
We stayed for 4 nights and couldn’t have been happier. The property was absolutely lovely. We found it comfortable, very well equipped and in a beautiful setting. It was so relaxing to sit out on the patio watching the horses and the occasional rabbit after a day of sightseeing in the Cotswolds. James was very friendly and quick to respond to my emails. I would love to stay again if we return to the Cotswolds one day.

Mini retreat rescue
After a terrible experience with another venue who cancelled my planned break without my knowledge, this place came to the rescue. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The owner James was very helpful and friendly and the accommodation was perfect for our needs. We had our 2 dogs who also loved it and enjoyed the countryside . Thanks so much for a wonderful stay and rescue 😊
