A great venue for celebrating our daughter's marriage. They married in Hong Kong but wanted both their family's, who live in the U.K., to be together to celebrate this special union. The venue needed to be wheelchair accessible with a wet-room. We hired all 5 cottages, including the hub, which allowed us to entertain everybody. Andrew the owner, and Shelley the housekeeper, were very supportive, listening to our needs and went out of their way to help us.We sourced our catering locally and used The Sadlers in Farringdon. Food and service over the weekend was excellent. Great ideas coming from Paul & Sietske for all meals including a full sit down wedding dinner for 24 people.Flowers were also sourced locally from All About Flowers' in Lechlade, Zdenka very creative and helpful.There are plenty of activities to do in the area for young and old.A wonderful spot for any family gathering and we would highly recommend.

Goodlake Barns is an excellent venue for a large gathering. A lovely communal area to gather in. An excellent kitchen with plenty of utensils to cook in. A lovely large area where we all sat to eat, then moving into a large comfortable lounge for a social gathering. The individual barns were comfortable to sleep in. Also plenty of outside space to sit in when the sun came out. Highly recommend. It was a lovely gesture to put milk and biscuits in each barn. Also all barns were well equipped with cleaning materials.

We were a party of 25 adults and children and occupied every barn. The hub was brilliant in allowing us to all socialise together while having our own spaces too. The barns were clean and well equipped- milk , tea bags and even a cake were provided. The outside area was safe for the children to play. The facilities for a baby were great with plenty of high chairs and a travel cot provided. In summary we thoroughly recommend Goodlake barns - especially for a large group

Thank you, Elen, for taking the time to review your recent stay at Goodlake Barns. We are delighted to hear that the barns were well suited to your group of adults and children, and that everyone was able to enjoy socialising together while still having their own space. It is especially pleasing to know that the outdoor areas provided a safe environment for the children to play. We are also pleased that you found the barns clean, well equipped, and appreciated the welcome pack provided on arrival. We very much look forward to welcoming you back to Goodlake Barns in the future.
