The Hayloft Reviews

Fantastic 4 day break accommodation perfect for 2 and location within driving distance

A beautiful cottage which is very well equipped and presented, but not for us. The reason is based upon the suitability in relation to our age. We found the stairs quite tricky which was mentioned in the listingthe upstairs sloping ceiling was a challenge as we are both tall and the lack of bathroom privacy is not for me.

Jacqui

Absolutely stunning cottage. . Quality was obvious.. Everything you would require and expect and more.. Fantastic hosts too...

Outstanding property, everything about the place was done in such a unique perfect way, well worth the price. Even down to the quality of plates & cups. Its good to know that when you spend a slightly higher price its reflected in what you get.

Harriet

This is a beautiful property, with thought put into each and every detail. The facilities are fantastic we couldnt fault The Hayloft at all. We came for a relaxing break, and had everything we needed so that we could spend 3 nights escaping life. Thank you x

Stephen

Absolutely beautiful cottage renovated to a very high specification. Credit to the owners who have clearly invested a lot in both the properties available.Nice are to stay and a couple of lovely pubs in the village of Sherston. One in the centre one just outside. We will be back.

Gordon

The Hayloft was beautiful with lovely furnishings and a high level of cleanliness. Ideal location for Bath and surrounding areas .The hot tub was an excellent bonus.We would happily stay there again.Parking was a concern when there are 2 cars at the other cottage

The Hayloft was a very well appointed, cosy, holiday home. Spacious kitchen lounge area, comfy bed and plunge bath as well as a roomy shower. Hot tub outside is a nice touch, we didn't get to use the gardens and all they offer as The Westonbirt Arboretum is across the road. Emma and family made our stay pleasureable, lots of advice regards things to see and do. Happy to stay again in future.

We had the best stay at the Hayloft. Very chilled week away, the place was lovely and clean with everything you need for a relaxing week away. Thank you for having us and I would certainly recommend to a friend.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely place, ideal for visiting Westonbirt Arboretum. The ceiling height upstairs could be an issue for some people.

We had a fantastic break to celebrate our 25 year wedding anniversary and absolutely loved the property. The only thing we could pick up on which was not really an issue was that the nearest pub was supposed to be 0.9 miles walk, but was actually 3 miles away. There was a pub about 0.9 miles away, but the road wasn't safe to walk. Also we are not the tallest, but there wasn't much head space in the bedroom. That said, we loved the property and didn't want to leave! Highly recommend and would like to return.

Our third visit to the Hayloft, but our first during the winter. The log fire was a lovely bonus and very cosy. The hot tub was also lovely after a days walk, couldnt persuade my wife though. Overall a lovely, cosy property and so convenient for the Arboretum, and the Winter wonderland light show was fantastic. Thanks again for a lovely stay.

Absolutely stunning! Beautiful small cottage with everything we needed in the most amazing surroundings. Highly recommend and can't wait to return.

Stuart

Myself and my Husband had a wonderful stay at The Hayloft for a week. The facilities at the property are excellent, super comfy cosy bed, hot tub that keeps the heat, large soaking tub and a fully equipped kitchen. Emma gave us a few local tips and the welcome pdf document that is sent has some great recommendations which we used. We also loved the Marshall speaker and to be honest we loved so much about the property that there isnt enough space to list everything! Tetbury is absolutely charming and its only 57mins drive away, and the Arboretum is a 5min walk from the property. The property itself was the perfect place for us to get away from everything and we cant wait to return. Thank you Emma!

Exactly what we were looking for, wonderful location and styled beautifully such lovely little touches! tasteful and filled with everything we could want for a relaxing stay. Would highly recommend.

Elisabeth

We had a lovely holiday in this beautiful cottage. We had everything we needed and the bed was so comfortable the best sleep for a long time! The hot tub was so good after a day of walking and the log burner made the place extra cozy. The cottage is set in a beautiful location opposite Westonbirt Arboretum which is such a magical place incredibly beautiful with the love autumn colours. I would certainly recommend this lovely cottage.

We had the most beautiful stay here for our mini moon. It was spotless, stunning inside and out and was well equipped. We struggled to get a taxi on any day as we really hoped to both be able to have a drink and go out for dinner, which was a shame but definitely didnt spoil our stay and wouldnt put us off coming back at all, its just worth a mention in case anyone else was thinking the same when booking. The village is only a 5 minute drive away so very close. Thank you for the perfect start to married life!

Richard

An absolutely stunning property, perfectly described by the host. Emma & Karl have made a perfect little cosy sanctuary for couples who are looking for that much needed break away to relax and recharge. Hosts are friendly and chatty and really made us feel welcome. The gorgeous town of Tetbury is just a short drive away which is great, highly recommend the Italian restaurant there for anyone wanting a lovely meal out. Recommendation for anyone staying take Carrots and Ginger Nut Biscuits the donkeys Wallace, Kanye and Fred! will love you forever and so will the sheep! Can't recommend enough and we will definitely be returning.

Darren

We had a seven day stay. The location is very conveniant for using as a base for visiting other locations. The property was very clean. The approach to the property is one way so exercise precaution.Hot tub was rather relaxing for a while in the evening. While here DO get to see the chickens in their posh home and don't forget the ginger nuts for the donkeys. All in all a damn good stay. Thank you.

Everything was first class, hot tub was big plus, lovely area. Couldn't fault the cottage.

Excellent accommodation , perfect location , excellent hosts

Kariem

Perfect set up for a cosy romantic getaway. Everything was taken care of to the highest standards

Very happy with everything to do with our stay at the Hayloft. Emma and Karl were very accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. The cleanliness of the cottage was outstanding. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Extremely happy with our stay.

Beautiful accommodation clean friendly and perfect for a relaxing week away thoroughly enjoyed

Our second stay at this lovely property. So cosy and the hot tub is super after a days walking. We love the Arboretum and hope to visit again later in the year, fortunately we know a great place to stay. Nice local pubs and lots to do without driving too far.

A lovely place to stay and in a good area for the cotswolds, we felt at home and it had all we needed for our stay,the bed was very comfortable, was a bit narrow around the bed due to the shape of the ceiling but we knew this and wasn't a problem for us,the hot tub was amazing which we used every day,secure parking was good. Thank you to the hosts we enjoyed our stay . Steve & Emma

Joanne

The Hayloft was just perfect for our weekend away. Exceptionally clean, with top quality finishes throughout Le Cruset cookware and tableware, buttery soft bedlinen and plump duck down bedding. Lovely private patio to enjoy the hot tub and evening sun. Icing on the cake was the use of the owners own garden and gazebo and meeting their dogs and donkeys. Turns out Karl and I grew up minutes away from each other small world! Make your booking at The Hayloft, you won't be disappointed

Teresa

We had a lovely time away at the Hayloft, it's beautiful and was everything we hoped it would be.

We loved our stay at the Hayloft. Felt very spoilt with the amenities in the property. Very clean and everything been thought of. Would recommend and visit again.

Teresa

Absolute little gem. I surprised my boyfriend for his birthday he was amazed. Peaceful,relaxing and finished to a high standard we couldnt have asked for more. We will definitely be visiting again.

This cottage was so beautiful! We had a brilliant time. Thanks for all your help and being on hand. We loved the hot tub and the Japanese bath. Everything in the property was of the highest standard. Thanks again!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Hayloft and didn't want to leave. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing break away from reality. Everything was of a very high standard and very comfortable. We would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Hayley

Wonderful luxury cottage, had a lovely week, plenty of gorgeous Cotswold villages town to visit. Log burner was a must as it was a really cold week, plenty of logs great log store outside for us to help ourselves We ate in almost every night, lots of nice Le Creuset pans and oven wear to use. Used the hot tub a lot, was impressed by the built in Bluetooth speaker. Would definitely recommend.

Claire

A beautifully renovated and decorated cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our only suggestion would be some non stick pans and a few more tea towels and maybe a little welcome pack of basics such as milk and bread etc as the nearest shops are some distance. We had a great time.

Loved the attention to detail and the high quality fixtures and fittings. We had a peaceful and relaxing stay which was exactly what we were looking for.

Beautiful place to stay with everything you need provided. Really nice location right by the Arboretum. Lots of nice places to eat within a short drive.

The Hayloft is a no expense spared, couples holiday let for touring the southern Cotswolds. Literally on the doorstep of Westonbirt National Arboretum, a few minutes from HighgroveTetbury. It is stunning in every respect. The only downside comfort wise is the restricted headroom around the king size bed up in the roof space it involves a bit of bending to get around. Otherwise it has everything necessary for a very relaxing break and is highly recommended.

Joanne

Beautiful property very modern and cosy. Local town 6 minute drive which was fab for cafes and restaurants. It would be good to suggests other guest be mindful of parking. Check out 10am is a little early.
