Owls Nest Barn - sleeps 9 guests in 4 bedrooms

As you wend your way along the hedgerow-lined lanes leading to the quiet hamlet of Harescombe and Owls Nest, you will feel as though you are miles from anywhere. There are, however, a multitude of attractions within easy reach, and so although the setting is blissfully bucolic, 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 rustic, 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 outside seating, a ping pong table and festoon lighting were you can relax with a drink after a day of exploring listening to the birds singing and the cows gently grazing across the lane. Keen fishermen and women will enjoy the easy access to the Harescombe Fisheries, which form part of the farm and sit at the top of the valley. There is covered parking for 4 cars.

Ground Floor

Guests enter through the covered courtyard and there are steps up from the decking to the door.

Kitchen/Diner:
Pale stone flooring and pale walls all add to the sense of light and space. The hub of this lovely barn is the gorgeous kitchen with everything practical needed for a self-catering stay including a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and microwave. The budding Nigella's or Jamie Oliver's in your group can whip up wonderful meals to be enjoyed at the large farmhouse table, which seats 10 comfortably. It's a wonderfully sociable space to gather.

Living Room:
The far end of the barn forms the living room which boasts windows on either side. Two plump sofas and a comfortable armchair provide plenty of seating, whilst in the corner is a wood-burning stove. Whilst the barn is warm and toasty, there is something very special about the glow from a real fire. A wall-mounted Smart TV means you can keep up to date with all your favourite shows.

There is a ground-floor cloakroom and a small hallway that leads to bedrooms three and four.

Bedroom Three:
This lovely bedroom boasts high vaulted ceilings, and lots of natural light from the window, which overlooks the lane beyond, and the Velux. An oak-framed super-king size bed is flanked by bedside tables with reading lamps and there is plenty of room to unpack with a wardrobe and a chest of drawers.

En-Suite:
Adjoining bedroom three is a spacious and well-appointed en-suite bathroom with a shower cubicle featuring both rainfall and hand-held shower head, W.C., hand basin and de-mist mirror.

Bedroom Four:
Offering flexible sleeping arrangements, this spacious family room can be configured with three single beds or as a king-size and one single. Featuring high ceilings and a window overlooking the farmyard, this is a calm space to relax after a day of exploring. The bedroom also features a wardrobe and a chest of drawers.

En-suite:
The large en-suite bathroom has a generously sized shower with a huge rainfall shower head and a hand-held shower attachment, W.C. and a de-mist mirror.

First Floor

Bedroom One:
With wonderful rural views over the cow fields to the village church and rolling hills beyond, this spacious king-size bedroom is decorated in pale shades of grey, green, and blue. An upholstered ottoman sits at the foot of the bed and there's a half-height wardrobe with hanging space and shelves as well as a chest of drawers. Pull the soft armchair up to the window and sit for a while watching the birds flitting in and out of the hedgerow opposite.

En-suite:
The en-suite to bedroom one boasts a large walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead, W.C., handbasin and de-mist mirror.

Bedroom Two:
The second bedroom on the first floor is a charming king-size room with views over the farmyard to the fields beyond. The large window is a lovely spot to watch the wagtails as they swoop and dive from the building opposite. There are bedside tables with reading lamps, a chest of drawers, a full-length floor mirror and a half-height wardrobe.

Bathroom:
This bathroom features a bath with a shower attachment overhead, WC, hand basin and mirror.

Ideal property
The property is very comfortable, modern and spotless. The provision of an outside table tennis table was a bonus. The owners were very helpful, courteous and available though not interfering. The barn is on a working farm. The property is fully equipped with all you need. Would highly recommend this property.
