The Barn By The Ford
Step into the charm of rural living with this meticulously converted one bedroom barn located in the idyllic village of Middle Barton. With its blend of rustic architecture and modern amenities, The Barn By The Ford provides a unique living experience for those seeking a peaceful retreat and welcomes your canine friend too!
This lovely property offers a truly delightful getaway for anyone seeking a true taste of Cotswold living. This delightfully whimsical thatched barn has been lovingly renovated by the owners with luxury, comfort and cosy living in mind, making a heavenly homestay and ideal couple's retreat…and being only an hour and a half from London is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a stylish cream kitchen, fully equipped with an Aga, a Smeg fridge and top of the range appliances. The central island, with a stunning marble top, doubles up as a breakfast-bar and is the ideal place to enjoy an evening meal and plan the next day's adventures, there is even an optics bar for those who enjoy an evening tipple!
The kitchen leads to a hallway with a convenient space to hang your coats and kick off your boots, and on to a downstairs shower-room, which has been wonderfully finished with quirky and eccentric fittings and benefits from a spacious walk-in rainfall shower… just the most inviting space to freshen after a day exploring.
A central wooden staircase leads you upstairs to the converted loft area where you will find the unconventional and super cosy living space, with sumptuous velvet sofa and matching love seat. This really is the loveliest space to relax over a game of chess, or watch a good movie.
A couple of steps take you to the delightful bedroom area where you can snuggle down in the beautiful brass bed with sumptuous Egyptian cotton bedding. The exposed stonework and twinkling fairy lights certainly make for a magical night's sleep.
Whilst there is no outside space at The Barn By The Ford, there are some lovely walks for you and your four-legged friend to enjoy in the area.

Mrs Stephens
The Barn is a lovely place to stay. Very clean, furnishings and finishing touches give it a very homely feel. Everything you need. Definitely would return.
Mrs Janßen
This lovely cottage exceeded our expectations! It's been better equipped than a five star hotel and furnished with so much love for every detail. It's a little treasure in the most lovely area and the owners are the most warm, welcoming and lovely people. They gave us so many tips and offered help in any way. We fell in love with them and this cottage and we are planning our next visit already! Upon arrival there was a welcome hamper full with delicious treats waiting for us as well as two little birthday cakes. There was no need to go shopping at all since everything was provided. The bed and sofa were comfortable and everything was super clean. The barn is perfectly located to explore the Cotswalds. Thank you so much for this lovely holiday. We can't wait to come back! xx
Mr Davies
A huge thanks for having us! My wife celebrated her 31st birthday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. She fell in love with the Cotswolds as a result! It is ideally located in the heart of some of the best towns and villages. The living room was our favourite place, curling up on the comfy sofas with blankets after a long day and the kitchen was extremely well equipped and furnished. Jordan and Kathryn

Mrs Salters
Our stay at The Barn By The Ford was nothing short of fantastic. Great location with easy access to villages like Bourton-on-Water, Upper & Lower Slaughter; Blenheim Palace and Oxford. The cottage itself was cosy and magical with everything you need for a lovely staycation. Would absolutely recommend!
Mrs Jenkins
We had a wonderful 5 night stay at The Barn. Gina and Simon couldn’t have been better hosts . The barn itself was fully equipped, immaculately presented with high end luxury furnishings and fittings . We were warmly welcomed with a hamper which included essentials and some fabulous luxury treats . The barn is perfectly located for Oxford and the Cotswolds . It’s blissfully quiet and we slept like a log in the most beautiful bedroom. We cannot wait to return.
Mr Spilman
The accommodation is stylishly renovated and equipped with quality appliances and furniture. The bed is very cosy and comfortable and the heating was warm and inviting. We appreciated the "Goody Basket" on arrival, particularly the artisan bread which was delicious. We had a minor problem with the TV ( probably since the Smart Screen was a little too modern for us of a certain age) but the owner soon sorted us out.
