Great house and location

We stayed here to celebrate our wedding with immediate family, kids and dog. Was a great house with plenty of space to hang out. Very comfortable and definitely right up our street in terms of style and peacefulness. Walking distance to local shop which is very well stocked, two good pubs, Hook Norton Brewery and local deli. Caroline was helpful when needed and even offered us a late check out. Would consider staying here again as a treat. Many thanks Caroline!

Wonderful

.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

Great property and extremely conscientious hosts

Had a great stay with family at this property for a milestone anniversary for our parents. It really went down so well with everyone! The hosts were excellent with communications and super helpful. Without going into personal details, they really went the extra mile in looking after us. You can absolutely trust them to truly care about you and your stay. This is the selling point of this property. The house itself was very clean and well appointed. The layout was good for our sets of families, as it has multiple bathrooms and the bedrooms aren't all on top of one another. The quiet sitting room with log fire was our favourite. Also, a great location. Few mins walk from the edge of the village -- which has a couple of lovely pubs, a great butchers with deli, and general store. Trying to think of something to make this review sound realistically balanced, rather than just gushing.... The surrounding gardens were a little out of shape, but that seemed due to the time of year (February) we visited and a harsh winter. It would be great to visit again in better weather, to be able to sit outside, use the pool, etc. Thank you very much to Caroline and co!

Great location for dog walkers and beer drinkers

Well appointed and laid out property on the edge of Hook Norton, with plenty of secure garden for dogs to roam, and within a short walking distance of the brewery and local pubs. Games room above garage and swimming pool keep teens amused for a while, but there is little in the local area for them before Oxford, 45 minutes drive away. Ideal for fans of country walks and good local beer!

Excellent holiday

Scotland end barn suited our family requirements extremely well. I am an above knee amputee requiring a wheelchair, and although there are considerable difficulties I was able to overcome most. The rest of the family are all active and had a wonderful time and are keen to return. The pool was a great hit with my athletic daughter and equally my granddaughter who is under two. Caroline is extremely helpful and quick to respond to enquiries. The space is really refreshing and we all had a great time.

60th birthday party weekend

I booked this house to celebrate my dads 60th birthday. It was the perfect setting for a getaway. The house was lovely, immaculate and was very well equipped providing everything we needed. The property was very infant friendly and very helpfully had a highchair. The host was very accommodating and willing to help us when needed throughout our stay. Would definitely come back in the future and recommend this property to others.

Amazing weekend with friends

We spent a weekend at Scotland End Barn in March for a joint 50th birthday. It was beautiful and exactly as outlined in the details on VRBO. Caroline (the host) was so helpful and responsive before the trip and very flexible allowing us early and late check-ins as there were no other guests. A beautiful and spacious house and easy walking to a lovely pub (The Sun Inn). Brunch at Hook Norton Brewery was a stand-out as well. Didn’t have to drive anywhere once we arrived. Highly recommend.

Fantastic house !

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.
