What an incredible location. I was looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat, away from busy roads and hustle and bustle. This was perfect, better than I had hoped for. The grounds, stables, dovecoat and main house, which has a moat around it, are stunning. So much so that I thought I must be trespassing when I drove up to the property. The wildlife and nature is fantastic with so many birds. The barn is very large with an open plan fully furnished kitchen, living room and bathroom.

Sadly, the thatched roof is covered by tarps. I pressume because it's leaky and needs new thatch; however, the facilities, beautiful grounds and lower price make up for this and I hope to go back.

We enjoyed the most fabulous weekend at the barn. The surroundings were just outstanding and it was lovely to be greeted by one of their roaming cats. The barn was tidy and very spacious. Everything we needed was supplied and more. The hosts were more than helpful and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be booking again as we loved our mornings by the moat and watching the fabulous wildlife around. 5 Stars 🌟 Steve & Jen

Spacious, well appointed and with everything I needed (and nothing I didn’t). Easy to find and nice and quiet. Felt very homely. Comfy bed and great shower and well lit bathroom. I like apartments like this as I can decide what I want to eat and when and is vastly cheaper than eating out.

TV reception is a bit ropey and I did spot a few cobwebs here and there. I know how easy it is for these things to be missed but slightly disappointing. It was clean, however.

The Thatched Barn was situated in what most people would consider to be a country estate. Laura greeted us on arrival and told us that if there was anything at all that we needed, to just let her know. The barn is a very spacious property with everything you would need for your stay. Lovely big bathroom, with a nice deep bath, powerful overhead shower and spotlessly clean. Good size bedroom, with deep built in wardrobes offering loads of storage. WiFi wasn't the fastest, but was perfectly adequate for our needs. The view from the kitchen looks out over fields with a horse and a very amusing little pony. For any bird watchers there is quite a lot to see, including an abundance of Red Kites and Buzzards, due to the close proximity to the Chiltern Hills. I managed a nice shot of a Buzzard from the kitchen window. Oxford is just a short drive, and for the walkers, the Chilterns are nearby. The local pup in Tetsworth just a mile away offers nice meals and doubles as the village shop. All in all, a lovely peaceful country location.

We couldn't find anything not to like.

We were self catering but milk, coffee and tea were supplied. The family were so welcoming although they were having their own traumas at the time…….thoroughly nice people.

There was a carpet that could have done with an anti slip device on the bottom. It is the one in the sitting room when you walk off the bedroom step. The only reason I mention this is because I have been asked the question!

Well equipped, every thing we needed, set in beautiful grounds, fantastic location with a fantastic host who was really accommodating. We had a lovely roast dinner in the bull and butcher pub in Turville.

Very welcoming hosts. Beautiful relaxing location. Lovely to just sit and listen to the bird song. Delightful to meet the resident horses, dogs and most excellent cats. Very comfortable barn, well equipped. Good walks in easy reach of the barn. Lots of attractions to visit without a long drive.

Had all the facilities needed. Lovely hot water for showers and rooms well heated for the cold December days and nights. The host Laura was fantastic throughout our stay.

Nice and quiet place in the country site. I could practice playing guitar without disturbing anyone. Very welcoming host.

Internet could be better but I had my own mobile internet so it didn't bothered me whatsoever.
