The Barn: Couples Retreat in The Cotswolds

Summary:
This stunning couples retreat is a detached barn in the gorgeous, picturesque Cotswolds hamlet of Cerney Wick, in the heart of Cotswolds Water Park. It is the idyllic romantic get-away and only a few minutes walk away from lakes and the river Churn. A beautiful combination of original and contemporary features create a luxury self catering space in the grounds of Manor Farm House. Centrally located near Cirencester, it is 15 minutes away from Jc15 of M4 & 20 minutes away from Jc11a of M5.

The Space:
The Barn is a detached building in the grounds of Manor Farm House, a traditional Cotswold stone house. You have allocated parking on our shared, gated driveway.
The Barn is warm and cosy. Large, comfy sofa and armchair, flat screen TV with Netflix; fully equipped kitchen; spacious king sized bedroom with bedside tables and dressing table plus chest of drawers; wet room with a separate bathroom. Fluffy towels and complimentary luxury toiletries are supplied.
The kitchen is fully equipped with central island seating and has coffee and tea making facilities, including a Nespresso machine.
Your home is totally self contained allowing privacy for your stay. There is a gorgeous south facing outdoor seating area for you to enjoy - next to the croquet lawn which you are most welcome to have a go at!! Or you could just sit on the bench and enjoy a sun downer watching village life go by.

Guest Access:
You have personal access to The Barn. It is self-contained in the grounds of Manor Farm House. You will have access to a lovely outside seating area adjacent to the croquet lawn which you are more than welcome to use. There are, however steps to climb so not suitable for children or this less mobile

The Neighborhood:
We are 5 miles from Cirencester and located on the Thames Walk, which makes it an ideal spot for walkers or cyclists. There are numerous walks nearby and various lakes you can walk around. There are many water sports and activities going on around the lakes; if you like the water it's ideal. We do have two basic bikes available, or you can hire within 5 mins of the house, and we are within cycling/walking distance of pubs, cafes and restaurants.

Getting Around:
A car is recommended as we are in a hamlet, but not essential. There is a regular bus between Swindon and Cheltenham on the main spine road which is about 20 minute walk.
Nearby SOUTH CERNEY has 2 grocery shops, 3 pubs, fish and chip shop, Indian takeaway, pharmacy and GP surgery and is 20 minutes on a bike and 45 minutes walking.
Fairford 5 miles
Bibury 7 miles
Cheltenham 22 miles

Other Things to Note:
The accommodation is on the top floor of a barn. There are a set of stairs to climb to access the property and it is therefore not suitable for anyone with limited mobility and we do not accept children. Caution should always be taken ascending and descending the stairs.
A Nespresso coffee machine is provided with a limited number of capsules. However compatible pods are available in most supermarkets or we are happy to provide additional pods at cost of £5 per 10

This is a very well equipped apartment above a barn in Cerney Wick. We stayed a couple of nights to attend a wedding and found the apartment to be immaculately clean, with all amenities we would need. It is larger than it looks in the pictures and the bedroom is a fully separate room, with an en suite. It is within easy reach of the Cotswolds Water Park, where we went for some meals and the pub in the village (The Crown) has a great Indian restaurant. Would highly recommend this place for a relaxing long weekend. It is well suited for couples looking to explore the local area.

Wonderful stay at The Barn
Lovely peaceful Barn in a very convenient but quiet location. Everything you could wish for. Very warm greeting by the host, we cheekily arrived 20 mins early due to a downpour and it was no trouble. Highly recommend.
