Owls Nest Barn - sleeps 9 guests in 4 bedrooms

Owls Nest is a fabulous barn conversion on a small working dairy farm in the beautiful Painswick Valley. Every which way you look there are green fields filled with happy cows grazing on the lush grass. Forming part of the family farm, this lovely barn offers a comfortable countryside escape, with myriad Cotswolds and Wye Valley attractions nearby. With four spacious bedrooms, including two on the ground floor, four bathrooms and a beautiful open-plan kitchen, diner, and cosy living room with a log burner to ward off the chill of a winter evening, Owls Nest is ideal for family gatherings and groups of friends looking to escape to the country. The farm is also home to four coarse fishing lakes, so keen anglers should pack their fishing rods too.

As you wend your way along the hedgerow-lined lanes that lead to the quiet hamlet of Harescombe and Owls Nest, it feels as though you are miles from anywhere. There is, however, a multitude of attractions within easy reach, so although the setting is blissfully rural, everything you need is close at hand. The farmyard is a rural reminder of your location on this family farm, but within the pale Cotswold stone walls of the barn, you’ll find a beautifully finished, warm, and welcoming place to stay.

The covered courtyard provides a sheltered space for parking as well as an all-weather area to enjoy. The simple lines of the barn belie the attention to detail and as you step inside, you’ll find a beautiful kitchen, dining area and a comfortable living room with a cosy log burner in one corner. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor, offering flexible sleeping arrangements. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and bathrooms. The style and décor are light and contemporary, offering a delightful, modern feel, in this most rural of locations.

Outside space comes in the form of the clever use of the covered courtyard. There’s outdoor seating where you can relax with a drink after a day of exploring and listen to the birds singing and the cows gently grazing across the lane. There is covered parking for 4 cars.
