Elizabeth - Oct 2024 - Air B&B

Lovely place to stay. Great view from the sitting room. Steep staircase to the Hayloft, and agility needed to get in/out of the bath/shower. Close to village shop, and Hook Norton brewery café is a great place for breakfast or lunch.

Beautiful and comfortable apartment (hayloft) in a lovely, peaceful location. Very clean and well equipped.

Mark - Sep 2024 - Booking.com

Cosy and characterful property! Lovely location in a quiet village, and a very characterful property. It is a good size too, with plenty of room to move around. The lounge area is comfortable with a view of the lovely garden. Being able to park directly outside the front door is a big bonus. It is just a short walk to the local store and the nearest pub. There was nothing we didn’t like, but it is worth pointing out that the stairs up to the property may be tricky for anyone with mobility issues. We had no issue with the bath/shower, but a hand rail/grab handle would be helpful for getting out of the bath, as it is quite deep and high sided.

Our Reply
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the property’s charm, spaciousness, and convenient location. It's great to hear you appreciated the garden view and ease of parking as well. We do mention on the listing that the stairs are steep, but we appreciate your suggestion regarding the handrail, and we will certainly consider this to enhance future guests' comfort. Thank you again for your valuable feedback! Lindsay @ Short Let Space

What a stunning little property with a breathtaking view out of the Juliet balcony… a peaceful setting, in a lovely peaceful village. If you want time out to just chill this is the place. Just missing a dishcloth or washing up sponge but easily rectified as little shop just across the street. A perfect stay. Thankyou.

We had the most amazing time staying at the Hayloft in the stunning Wisteria House. Bill and Viv were wonderful friendly hosts and we loved the atmosphere and tranquillity of the Hayloft. I was celebrating a birthday and on arrival, I was greeted by the most beautiful hand picked flowers from the stunning garden and greeting card; such a thoughtful touch. The Hayloft is situated in the picturesque village of Hook Norton or Hooky as it is known by locals. We had a wonderful circular walk around the surrounding countryside which was breathtaking, if a little on the hot side. Thankfully we started out early and had purposefully booked the Hook Norton brewery tour in the afternoon. The tour was great and ably led by Keith, who made it even more enjoyable with his passion for the brewery and his wonderful sense of humour. We ate at the Brewery’s cafe, good food and great ale of course! We would also recommend the Sun Inn for delicious food and excellent customer service. A great trip!

A lovely space with incredible history in a charming village. Host are good communicators and lovely people. The entry stairs are quite difficult to navigate, and getting bags upstairs for older folk would be hard, as would getting into the very high bath / shower. Completely to be expected in such a historic home, but worth being a bit clearer on booking site. Worth every penny!!

The Hayloft was the perfect space for our short break. Right in the middle of the village with lots of beautiful walks in and surrounding the area and a couple of really lovely pubs in walking distance. We also loved getting to meet the owner’s puppy, Eric who was keen to welcome us!

Lovely weekend getaway! Hook Norton is a great location to explore the cotswolds and the Hayloft is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, very well looked after and homey. We would love to come back sometime and would definitely recommend this place to any friends or family!

Short Let Space’s kept us informed and provided great information about the property, the staff are very friendly and informative. The description and photographs of the property were very accurate. I would not have a problem using them again as I would feel confident that what was being offered was what I would get.

The cottage is immersed in the Cotswolds, for a few days it will seem like you are living in a space frozen in time and at the end of the days spent at the Cottage you feel very relaxed. The cottage is convenient for exploring the main Cotswold villages, all around 30 minutes’ drive away, and for departing from Heathrow. It’s really clean, on a trip where we stayed at three other properties this one was really clean. Unfortunately in the UK we always have unsatisfactory experiences with cleaning, but they have proven them wrong. The staircase to go up is very narrow, if possible go with small bags or backpacks

Set at the heart of the most lovely, picturesque, friendly village. A cosy, clean and stylish space. Countryside walks on the doorstep. We loved staying here ????

Fab location, lovely little space for a few days break. Stairs could be difficult to manage if you have limited mobility, and the bed is very creaky. Other than that, no complaints! The perfect location to explore the Cotswolds and have a few chilled out days. Hook Norton is a lovely village with a great shop and a couple of pubs. Loved meeting Eric the dog, and loved the beautiful views of the garden. Thank you for a relaxing break 🙂

The Hayloft was a fantastic stay. It was in a great location with access to the local shops and fabulous walks. The space was clean, tidy and well-laid out. Getting into the room was very easy, with clear and concise instructions. Everything you need for your stay is provided in the kitchen. I highly recommend staying!

Thank you Bill and Viv! Such a lovely space to stay in. Easy check in and great advice. Very quirky accommodation, well equipped, Bill & Viv were great to chat to and gave good advice for exploring. Easy to find if you follow the instructions and “the village shop” is so well stocked that you don’t need to call into a supermarket enroute to buy shopping ! The floors were a little bit uneven (hey! You’re staying in a hayloft and that’s the point of staying in a Cotswold barn!) beautiful little claw bath, perfectly thrusting hot water through a good shower, and delightful quality bedding.. white company towels ???? Beautiful village, great for walks and pubs. Saturday we explored further afield: Chipping Norton, Diddly Squat, Daylesford Farm Shop, Stow on the Wold, Bourton.. A bonus was our Sunday morning walk and discovering the village brewery open! 2 hours exploring the social history that they are obviously so proud of. Really enjoyed our visit. Thank you so much

Thank you for offering the Hayloft. It is a perfect bolt hole in one of most picturesque villages in the Cotswolds. It was an equally quaint and comfortable space. I stayed there by myself for business and it had everything I needed to do my work. Hosts Bill and Viv could not have been more pleasant and I enjoyed the time I spent with them.

Lovely flat in a great location. Very clean, it has everything you need for a perfect holiday away from home. Do note that the staircase is steep.

Grace
May 2022

Such a wonderful experience. The Hayloft is a great bolthole for one or two people. A good space that is well laid out. Great modern Smart TV, excellent Wi-Fi access (stable and fast) which makes for a god space to work in too. The bonus though is the excellent kitchen space that lacks nothing, it’s like a ‘home from home’. The view across the garden and to the distant village view is magnificent.
Bill and Viv make excellent hosts who are accessible, extremally helpful but not intrusive in any way.
I will stay again and recommend to all seeking a true Cotswold escape.

Stephen

The hay loft was ideal for a little New Year’s Eve weekend break. Cosy and very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen. We ate in three nights out of four. We also enjoyed dinner at The Sun Inn (just a few minutes walk away). The village shop is just a minute’s walk away and is very well stocked, as is the Hook Norton butcher. We didn’t need a car (got a taxi to and from Charlbury station). We made use of the book of Hook Norton walks in the apartment and the OS maps. The brewery is worth a visit too. The stairs up to the loft are quite steep so avoid large suitcases! Would definitely return – really pretty, peaceful village – perfect if you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle.

A delightful, characterful and extremely comfortable, well equipped appartment . The view over the garden and the surrounding area is tranquil and beautiful .The access steps could be slightly off- putting to anyone with balance issues .

We had a wonderful week long holiday. The Hayloft had everything that we needed and the village of Hook Norton was beautiful. This was a great base for exploring the Cotswolds villages and so many other lovely places that were nearby. I would definitely recommend staying here and we would definitely stay again!

This was a delightful, well designed barn conversion. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The apartment had everything we needed and was perfect for the two of us. It was very clean and exactly like the pictures. We met the hosts who happened to be there when we arrived (they live in the main house). They were very pleasant and have a management company running the bookings as they are often away from the property. Hook Norton is a lovely quiet little village and the local Spar shop is a few metres walk from the house where you can find all your essentials. All in all a great stay and I can’t recommend it enough.

We have just returned from a six night break at the Hayloft. We found it to be a perfect little hideaway in a beautiful village. The Hayloft had everything we needed and was so cosy.
The kitchen is well equipped, which enabled us to cooked most nights as we wanted to enjoy the loft.
There are two pubs/ eating places in the village. We ate at the Sun Inn and can recommend this place. There is a well stocked shop in the village also.
We were made to feel very welcome by Bill and Viv.
If you want a peaceful, restful break, this is the place for you.
We will definitely return again and will recommend friends visit this area of outstanding beauty.

Judith

Location is perfect, SPAR shop has everything you need and only a 2 min walk from the property.
