4.8/5

The Byre was exactly what we we hoped it would be - a beautiful, clean, well presented cottage tucked away in the Cotswolds. All the instructions were clear, communication was great, there is not much to criticise. We researched the location, so we knew getting around would involve a lot of walking, but that's what we were looking for. That being said, getting a taxi or even an Uber is not a problem. Some of the pubs in the surrounding villages were incredible, with amazing food. We would happily come back.

We had a fantastic time at this new but still rustic feeling and spacious property. There were 5 of us and there was plenty of space for us throughout the place. Really well managed by StayCotswold too, very easy to book and detailed instructions on access to the property and checking in. Everything was perfect. I would highly recommend the property and StayCotswolds too.
