Pound Barn Reviews

James
What a great old barn conversion. Really enjoyed our long weekend away here. Relaxing location in the country to enjoy the local countryside but close enough to towns should you require them. The kitchen is well equipped and the living space is very comfortable. Will definitely be back one day!
Stewart

Alex
A lovely cottage, well equipped the perfect peaceful get away for two. Nice small garden area with a great hot tub.
Joanne
Beautiful comfortable barn in a pretty area .lovely home made lemon cake on arrival and a bottle of milk. People in area friendly. Useful guide book to barn and what's in the area . Had a very enjoyable stay.
Nicholas
absolutely lovely week away, brilliant little cottage to stay at, the owners were kind enough to be our guides when we got slightly lost in the dark on the way there
Simon
We had a lovely relaxing time at Pound Barn, the location was great for the Malverns, Tewkesbury and Gloucester with the Cotswolds about 45 mins away. Despite the floods we managed to get out and about quite easily. The cottage was beautifully presented and was very cosy. We loved the fact that our dog could run around outside in a secure yard and Read moreit was also nice to be able to meet the cows in the farm! Some nice pubs within short driving distance too! Very highly recommended. Hide
Samantha
Beautiful cottage in the perfect location, could not ask for any more.
Julie
Hot Tub was brilliant, lovely and clean. Well set back from main road. Very comfortable
Caroline
Lovely barn in a great location. Ideally situated for exploring the nest by Cotswolds. Very cosy barn with lovely owners.
Iain
Pound barn is a beautiful property that's been cleverly and thoughtfully designed to make the most of the space. It was ideal for my partner and I with our 6 week old baby and daft 3 year old pug, who was able to roam in the grounds as it's completely enclosed, whilst we chilled in the superbly relaxing hot tub! Good location to explore the country side! Beautiful to also have the sheep next to you and watch them drink from the trough! Extremely well priced and very good value for money!!!
michael
Fantastic comfortable cottage in a great rural location with the added bonus of a very clean hot tub and the only neighbours being the sheep and cows in the surrounding field. Everything we needed was provided and overall the cottage was extremely cosy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and we'll likely be booking again in the near future.
Kathy
Just returned from our stay at pound barn. Had a fabulous time in a beautiful property in a lovely part of the world. We have returned home refreshed and relaxed. The barn had everything we needed and is an ideal base for exploring the area. The best bit- Laura's lemon cake, absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend a stay here!
Julie
Pound Barn is a lovely little bolt hole, and an ideal place to switch off, unwind and enjoy the company of friendly sheep and friendly cows. The hot tub is a little bit of luxury to make the most of. Just lie back and let the bubbles do their work! There are plenty of good pubs that do food in the area, so you can even take a break from cooking, al though the kitchen is well equipped should you wish to whip up a feast! We had a lovely stay, thank you. The lemon drizzle cake was divine!
Jean
We had a lovely week in this cottage but it is rather isolated.
Michael
Brill we have been to a lot of barns over the years but this is far the best ever , we never heard another person and was in middle of now where, views around fields everywhere. Cows and sheep come to the field you are in Dog loved the garden safe and cannot get out so can let him out and not worry Nice touch sunbeds in garden, barbie ,log burner , washing machine lol my wife did the washing before we got back lol , all i can say is if just want to chill this is the place :) well done
Mark
Lovely property in a good location on a working farm. It's got great views across the farm fields where the cows and sheep roam. There can be some traffic sounds with the windows open but the road isn't overly busy. The owners are on site and can be called for any problems but not close enough to affect privacy. We were quite content to stay on sit e the barn is plenty comfortable enough, a real home from home.
Heather
This was our third stay at Pound Barn and did not disappoint! Close to lots of lovely dog walks and we particularly enjoyed the dog friendly Cotswolds wildlife park too. Hot tub was amazing and enjoyed sitting in the garden with the sheep in the field next door. We will be back!
Rosie
Fabulous little barn with a very secure garden for my little dog. She's nervous and this was our first trip away from home with her - she absolutely loved it!! Gorgeous location, loved saying hello to the curious cows based up the farm lane. Hot tub was brilliant night and day. Perfect place for a relax and unwind, thank you!
Emma
We had a brilliant week at Pound Barn farm. Such a lovely place to stay, it felt very homely. The place was clean and very comfortable. We really appreciated the milk and the lovely lemon cake that was there for us on our arrival :) Loved seeing the cows every day! Great location as well, was able to visit many different places- Forest of Dean, the Cotswolds, Cirencester etc. All greats places to visit! I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again ourselves.
James
Had a marvellous stay. The local area was beautiful, the cottage was cozy and everything that was needed. The lemon drizzle cake was possibly the best I have ever had. I would come again for that alone!!!
Melissa
Pound barn was an amazing holiday in a great location near lots of great walks for me and my dog. The barn was lovely and clean and the gated off garden was great to allow my dog to roam free especially whilst I was in the hot tub. Owners were very friendly and easily reachable and overall was a great experience.
Paige
Our stay at pound barn was 100% perfect! The house was so clean! The bed was soooo comfortable! The views were amazing especially the beautiful horse in the front paddock! The dogs loved the freedom of being able to run around! We would definitely return! Also the Lemmon drizzle was to die for baked by the owners themselves. Very well appreciated : )
Phil
Beautiful barn conversion, we had a very relaxing stay. The home made lemon drizzle cake was a nice touch. Thank you to the owners.
Donna
Lovely converted barn which had everything we needed. Kitchen well equipped and the garden was a nice size: We had two dogs with us and we felt they were secure on the grounds of the property. The views were fabulous and the place had a lovely cosy feel. The owners were easy to contact and helped us throughout our stay with any queries we had. We w ould definitely visit again. The fact that we were greeted by a delicious lemon cake also helped ;-)
Penny
Lovely property next to farm. Sheep and cows to entertain at times! Hot tub great. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Milk and cake welcome package appreciated. Would visit again.
Robert
Absolutely amazing stay in the most perfect barn. The lemon cake to welcome us in was a great touch, but the barn itself was so homely from the first minute. The hot tub was already warm and ready to go. We explored the surrounding fields and bought cider and perry from the farm over the road. Exactly as described and just what we needed!
Ben
Absolutely fantastic. We will be back
Alice

Pound Barn was absolutely amazing. Myself, my partner & our 2 tabby cats spent a cosy, luxurious week here and we'd go back in a heartbeat. From the homemade lemon drizzle and fresh, local milk, to the underfloor heating & bathrobes to use forthe hot tub - every detail had been thought through. We really loved it and would highly recommend.

An amazing and relaxing week away with our dog Nala.

We had a fantastic few days in Pound Barn. The property was nicely decorated, very clean and well equipped. Ideal for dogs as garden is a good size and secure. Fantastic hot tub with robes provided. Contact with owner re arrival time was quick and even offered for us to arrive earlier if we wanted. The barn is in the farm grounds so close enough if you need anything but not too close to feel overlooked. Definitely highly recommend!
