Excellent Chrismas stay at The Rectory Barn
We arrived in the eavening to a warm and welcomming holliday house. Table fully layd for dinner, Chrismas three with lights and decorations in the living room. Beds nicely made up, and bad linnen provided for. It is a lovely house with a nice garden. Broadwell is well situated for walks and day- trips, The Fox Inn, a five minute walk along the stream.
Well recommended for families and friends.

Christmas in the Cotswolds
Had a lovely stay at Rectory Barn. Kitchen dinning room perfect for gatherings at end of busy day. Living room plenty space to relax. The one thing I would change straight away is the twin room beds . They were very high metal beds uncomfortable and safety hazard if you rolled over.

Perfect location
The property was perfectly situated to get to the places we wanted to visit. It was clean and comfortable with lots of space. The housekeeper was very helpful when I contacted about the heating which we could not control and sorted this out for us. The only downside was the amount of woodlice, they were everywhere and if we had small children or babies with us this would have been an issue.

Beautiful, comfortable house in a great village in the Cotswolds.
I was originally worried about staying having read a previous review where they had mentioned the heating wasn’t great and we were travelling with a 6 week old baby. However, we found the house to be warm and cosy. It is a big house with great facilities. The beds were super comfortable and we all slept so well. We had a meal in the Fox pub, a 5 minute walk away which was a bustling pub with a great atmosphere and food. Broadwell is located close to popular towns and Daylesford Farm and the Cotswold Christmas Faircshich we visited whilst away. All in all, a great family break.

A lovely stay.
We had a lovely stay at Rectory Barn. The facilities very good, it was also good to have 4 bathrooms. A lovely walk to the local pub.
Well appointed, very spacious yet cozy cottage in a great location. Super pub and decent supermarket close by an additional bonus.

Great location, comfy house
We loved Rectory Barn, the bedrooms were spacious with good ensuite facilities. Plenty of wood for the wood burner in the lounge which made it very cosy. We did have to contact somebody regarding the heating upstairs, as it was cold and we couldn't change the temperature at the house. Thankfully, this was dealt with promptly.
The bottle of wine was appreciated but it would have been nice to have some milk and local biscuits too!

Beautiful cottage in village location
Rectory barn was everything we'd hoped for and more. Very spacious, beautifully furnished. Peaceful village location with excellent local pub serving range of food and ales. Close to Stow-on-the-Wold and all Cotswold attractions within short driving distance. Couldn't have wished for a better Autumn break.

Perfect place to stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and stay to Broadwell. The cottage had (almost) everything that we needed and was very clean and welcoming! What a stunning place and immaculate garden. The only thing missing was mention of personal products like shampoo and soap which we easily bought in the end but it would have been helpful to know prior to a transatlantic flight.
We loved our stay at Rectory Barn! The photos online don’t fully convey how wonderfully large all the rooms are, very clean, very spacious and comfortable. A perfect house that we’ll definitely return to. Lovely extra touches on arrival such as the table pre-laid for a meal, and stair gates put on without us having to ask (our youngest is 3 so that’s very helpful!). Totally delighted with our stay and wish it had been longer!

Wonderful home and location
We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at the Rectory Barn. This home is beautifully presented and so well equipped. All rooms were so tastefully decorated and comfortable with attention to detail so evident. The quiet village location is delightful with a short walk to the fabulous Fox Inn pub along a very pretty path next to a stream. The location also benefits from easy driving access to many of the Cotswold towns and villages. We enjoyed a great walk to Stow on the Wold through stunning countryside so typical of the Cotswold area. Having access to a lovely garden with outdoor seating was an added bonus particularly as we had very warm spring weather during our stay. We would highly recommend Rectory Barn and only wished our stay had been longer.

Beautiful house and garden in charming place
Secluded and beautiful old place in a lovely art of the Cotswolds. Delightful off road circular walk into Stow with fabulous views. Fox Inn nearby was buzzing on Saturday night (bit too noisy and expensive for me!).
Kitchen had most things you need (except oven gloves) for cooking a meal and was very clean. Large dining space and comfortable lounge. 3 interesting bedrooms with own bathrooms with plenty of space and quirky features. Garden also lovely with a large table and many chairs. Maybe some seat cushions would be a nice addition?
Highly recommend.

Top class Cotswold stay!
Six family members stayed for a long weekend, and we were each wowed by the impressive quality of fixtures and fittings, beautiful decor, and spacious accommodation. We loved our stay, from the warm welcome on arrival (lamps and heating already switched on, and soft music playing throughout… lovely!), to the walk around the corner to the lovely village pub one evening (log fires, friendly staff and excellent food).
Just a couple of tiny additions would have made it even more perfect… an extra armchair in the lounge (the settee realistically only seats four comfortably), and a washing up sponge/dishcloth in the kitchen (to help us wipe down the surfaces and keep it clean)!

Wonderful week in the Cotswolds!
Fantastic! We loved The Rectory Barn! It was clean, spacious, comfortable, and beautiful! The beds were very comfortable and our family of 7 slept very well. The hosts have done an excellent job updating it and making it a wonderful place to stay. The location is perfect for visiting the well-known, must-see towns of the Cotwolds. Plenty of easy parking, grocery store minutes away, beautiful enclosed garden/yard, helpful and attentive hosts, and gorgeous interior decorating highlight this magnificent vacation get-away. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay
Me and my friends booked a weekend here to get together before Christmas and we had such a lovely stay. The barn was well equipped and everything was immaculate. Beds were very large and comfortable and the living room area was perfect. Lots of DVD films also however we couldn’t get the player beside the TV to work. Location wise it’s not far of a walk from a large Tesco where there’s also a nice village to walk through. Lots of villages within a short drive also. We would definitely stay again and I would highly recommend.

Relaxing comfortable autumn stay
The cottage is really well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Furnishings are of a high standard.
The rooms in the cottage are very spacious and the beds in the two main bedrooms were huge.
Lovely relaxing pre-Christmas stay with the dog and children.
My only recommendations would be to have a guest book as we weren’t sure when bins needed to go out etc… Also downstairs was quite cold even with the extra heater so maybe have the temperature set slightly higher.
Would definitely consider staying here when visiting the Cotswolds again.

Nothing but praise
We booked the cottage for my 40th birthday weekend and it was everything we needed. The bedrooms were big, all with lovely ensuite rooms, more than enough space for the 7 of us, and probably room for a couple more.
It's perfectly located for exploring the Cotswolds, and more than enough to do if you wanted to stay in the cottage and relax. Our 5-year-old in particular loved the dog bingo game!
10/10 would recommend.

Great house
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at rectory barn, and it is truly a beautiful house. The location was perfect distance from lots
Of lovely places to visit. The beds were comfortable and it was just a great house for our family to get together. The owner was very good to deal with, and was helpful. The only thing I felt was not up to the same standard was the service from staycotswold, who were not that helpful when I asked for an earlier check-in, it wasn’t possible - which is absolutely fine but when I contacted them to follow up ,as I imagine the owner was very busy, the service was very much ‘it's out of our hands’ and made me feel like we were asking too much. Apart from that I felt the stay was lovely and would happily come again.

A great stay at Rectory Barn
The Rectory Barn was a beautiful place to stay. The location was perfect. Our needs were well catered for. All the rooms are spacious and well furnished and the kitchen is well equipped. The beds and bedding were comfortable but we felt the towels could have been thicker and larger.
The local pub was a short stroll away and well worth a visit. Also the walk into Stow on the Wold by the Monarchs Way was pleasant.
Our only criticism was the property felt a bit chilly in the evenings ( mainly due to the weather) so we lit a fire a couple of nights. Also despite searching we could not find anyinstructions for the property (ie recycling/bin day etc) but these did not in any way spoil our stay. We had a lovely week and hope to make return visit.

Super property in a great location
As regular overseas visitors to the Cotswolds, we have rented many excellent properties in a variety of locations/ villages; Rectory Barn is one of the best and it's in a fantastic location - the local pub, the Fox Inn is one of the best in the Cotswolds and Broadwell is extremely convenient for towns like Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh, etc - and there are plenty of hikes/ walks in beautiful countryside to a plethora of picturesque Cotswold villages, and many other local attractions.
The property is very spacious, extremely comfortable and very well-presented - clean, high quality furnishings and fixtures - and occupies a quiet and private location. In particular, we loved the spacious, well-equipped kitchen and the large, very comfortable lounge - with log-burner, starter pack provided - both of which combined to provide happy social spaces; and the small snug lounge provides a quiet space should it be needed. The bedrooms are also large, with very comfortable beds and well-equipped; including en-suite/ dedicated bathrooms.
We would happily re-book Rectory Barn for future visits.

Loved It! Highly Recommended!
It was great! We absolutely loved it! The location was great, short driving distances to Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh, which both had grocery stores and everything else you need for a visit to the Cotswolds. We ate breakfast at the house and cooked and ate several dinners at the house as well. The only downside about the location, is that a car is needed. But with a car, you can explore all around, making short trips throughout the Cotswolds or even venturing further out. One of the best parts of us, is that we had a large family there and there were plenty of beds and four full baths! This meant bathroom usage was not a problem at all (which is not at all the case with a hotel). We absolutely loved the it and would love to own a place like that. As for StayCotswolds, working with them was easy and simple. No problems whatsoever. If we venture to the Cotswolds again and are looking for a place to stay, we would happily book with StayCotswold again!

A Little Too Cold For Comfort??
Rectory barn is a beautifully converted barn with high quality fixtures and fittings, most of which are in good repair. Situated in Broadwell it is in a great location and the local pub is handy for those, like us, who prefer to leave the cooking at home. It has a lovely enclosed garden, ideal for the dog, and in the warmer months I am sure it is an ideal property. However, I have concerns about the suitability, especially for older people, during autumn/winter.
My concern is that visitors have no control over the heating. At home heating is off during the night and programmed to come shortly before we get up and shower, warm, dry towels make a a good start to the day! For some reason the heated towel rails in the upstairs bedrooms did not appear to work. We tried to adjust the heating but when this failed to work I contacted the property manager who advised that changes to the heating settings could only be made using an app that he and the property owner had! Fortunately there is a tumble dryer to dry and warm towels and the log burner was well used afternoon and evening - bring fire lighters.
p.s. I note the barn has a heat pump with underfloor heating on the ground floor. Heat pumps are something I have heard a lot about but have never actually experienced - unfortunately most of the bad things I have heard seem to have been confirmed!
p.p.s. I have had to give a yes or no recommendation later on and give a qualified "yes".

A lovely stay
I cannot find much to critique with the property itself, it was perfect for what we needed & there was plenty of room. Gorgeous garden area too. Beds were comfortable. Shower & bathroom options were plenty. Make sure to bring your own toiletries as there weren’t any. Nice touch with the bottle of wine & fruit loaf too. I noticed the wooden beams in the main bedroom were all suffering with woodworm quite badly so may need looking into. The bit that we found frustrating were the instructions on where to park (not out the front - could be made much clearer with a sign saying not parking for rectory barn) and entry in general could be much clearer in the welcome app as well as at the property under “arriving at the property” rather than hidden in other tabs. The codes aren’t in the access the property bit either - we were told we would get a message ahead but this didn’t arrive. Then there were no keys in the lockbox out the front which is where you’d assume you’d enter the property - should have something in there to say that there’s another lockbox out the back too. Small details but would have made getting into the house with kids a lot less stressful. That aside everything was absolutely spot on for what we needed & we would 100% book again if visiting the area.
