Holiday Cottages in Barnsley

The small but delightful village of Barnsley is nestled between Cirencester and Bibury in the heart of the Cotswolds. At one time the village was royal property as Henry VIII gave it to each of his wives in turn, before it passed to the Bourchier family.

The village is renowned for its annual festival which was founded by one of Britain’s greatest gardeners, Rosemary Verey. It is on festival day each year that the luxurious Barnsley House Hotel opens its gardens to non-hotel guests, who can enjoy a stroll around the spectacular four acre gardens.

On festival day there is also exclusive access to the 45 acre Barnsley Arboretum, designed by the present Lord Faringdon and planted 15 years ago. There are over 1,500 trees to see, made up of oak, beech, eucalyptus, ash, maple, and the lesser known, snakebark maple. The arboretum is also home to a national collection of bamboo.
