This converted barn in the Cotswolds is a comfortable home-from-home. Inside, there’s an upside-down layout, with the bedrooms on the ground floor and the living space on the first. Flexible sleeping arrangements mean this place is ideal for families, and in the shared garden, a play area is sure to keep the little ones entertained. Better still, guests staying here have access to an outdoor communal pool. When you’re ready to explore, Crickley Hill Country Park is a ten-minute drive away and Gloucester and Cheltenham are reached in no more than twenty minutes by car.
