.A group of five friends stayed at Scotland End Barn – a gorgeous 5 bedroom gated barn in Hook Norton for two nights at the beginning of May. The accommodation is extremely comfortable in every way. You could see that the host Caroline had thought of everything , to make out stay perfect. The barn has two large reception rooms. One houses a big tv, which has Netflix plus a dvd library. The other has a bookcase filled with a variety of books. The five bedroom property comprises of three ensuite bedrooms. The fourth and fifth bedroom share a bathroom. (Although there is another shower room in the studio outside). All bathrooms had shower/hand gel and shampoo/conditioner. There is a large kitchen /diner with coffee machine, dishwasher, large modern oven and large fridge freezer. All the essentials you might need tea, coffee, cooking oils, condiments, tin foil, washing up liquid. Utility room has washing machine, dryer, iron and board. There is also a cloakroom downstairs. The area outside was quiet and peaceful. There were sun loungers around the pool and garden dining furniture close by. There is lots of parking available which was great. The pool was lovely and a good temperature. One thing to note is there is an extra charge to use the pool for maintenance, heating and insurance. Catherine also telephoned when we arrived and the next day to make sure everything was ok. There is also a folder filled with information about the house and surrounding area. The barn was
5.0 / 10.0·Oct 2021
I couldn’t recommend the property more. It had everything you needed, even great kitchen utensils which I find rare when renting holiday properties. The house is decorated beautifully, clean and homely. The pool is a must and there is plenty of space on the grounds for games and activities.
Caroline was a fantastic host, she responded quickly and always offered help/information. She sent a great list of recommendations and offered lots of flexibility with check in/check out.
The local area is lovely, the small village walking distance with a lovely pub. The Hook Norton Brewery (2 minute walk) did amazing brunch, we needed up going twice!
Overall the house was amazing and I would recommend to anyone wanting a calming retreat in the Cotswolds.
