A thatched Cotswold retreat

The Barn by the Ford

A delightful thatched converted barn for peace, tranquillity and a true taste of Cotswold living - and your dog is welcome too.

Welcome

A heavenly homestay in the idyllic village of Middle Barton

Step into the charm of rural living with this meticulously converted one-bedroom barn, lovingly renovated by its owners with luxury, comfort and cosy living in mind.

Half an hour from Oxford and ninety minutes from London, beside the ford over the River Dorn, it is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life - whether a weekend away or a longer stay to renew, reset and relax.

Dog-friendly stays

One well-behaved dog is welcome

The Barn welcomes one well-behaved small to medium-sized dog by arrangement, with lovely walks starting a few steps away and plenty of nearby villages for gentle days out.

Please note there is no private outside space. Dogs should be kept under control, not left alone in the cottage, and kept out of the bedroom area and off the furniture.
