We are sure you will have a wonderful break at Downhouse Farm, but don’t just take our word for it. Here you can read reviews from some of our lovely guests…

Granary barn was absolutely beautiful, well equipped and renovated to a very high standard. Lovely comfortable beds, warm and inviting, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

If you’re after a peaceful countryside Cotswolds stay, I don’t think you can get much better than Granary barn. Beautiful location, stunning views which were perfect to watch the sun go down with a glass of wine in hand! The sheep, lambs and pigs were lovely, making me feel like we were completely out in the sticks but with the added benefit of Dursley Town being a short walk / drive away for food, restaurants and pubs. The surrounding area is really lovely, great for walks and runs - definitely recommend a walk up Cam Peak and the farmers market in Stroud. Granary barn is so perfect, with its stylish country theme, modern fittings and appliances, super clean, comfortable and it had everything we needed and more. The garden is completely enclosed so we could let the dog wander around and watch the sheep as she pleased! Kate was a fantastic host and made our stay really wonderful and relaxing, thank you so much. We can’t wait to come back!

We had an amazing my stay! It was a family get together pre Christmas. There was space for everyone, and Kate had thought of everything, high chairs for the babies, dog bowl/towel/treats, for the dogs, the kitchen had everything we needed to pull off a whole Christmas dinner, there was a fire on the go in the lounge for when we returned from wet muddy walks (the Cotswold Way is very close by) we didn’t want for anything! Kate is a great host, very welcoming and accommodating, I would highly recommend this house for a family get together.

Absolutely gorgeous farmhouse. Everything you need for a great stay and more. Kate had thought of everything you would need. The place was clean, spacious, comfy. Very peaceful surroundings and a stones throw away from cam peak. Perfect. Kate and her dad were helpful, kind and friendly. We loved Dot and Daisy too - saddleback pigs 💗💗 Had a very very restful time and will hope to return soon. Thank you xx

What a wonderful place Downhouse Farm is! A beautiful house, fully equipped with everything needed for a countryside stay. Kate was super responsive and helpful and the house was spotlessly clean and comfortable. So pleased we found it. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful family gathering. Special care has been taken to add touches to make Downhouse Farm feel really welcoming and very comfortable. We were able to easily have a family meal with 10 people all sitting together at the table. The bedrooms are all a generous sizes and beautifully presented. Thank you for what made a lovely memorable weekend.

Thank you again for our very special stay at your home. Usually we have a couple of things that we could think of that would have improved our previous stays but we just can’t fault everything that you offer in your super home and strive to achieve in making everything feel so very special. Attention to detail is superb, along with your comprehensive users guide full of information and such an interesting read.
We all very much appreciated the eco and sustainability that you are achieving too.
communication from start to finish with the hand written ‘hello’ was just so appreciated. We hope to return in April next year.

What a gorgeous house. We had such a lovely stay. This house is an absolute find! Kate was a fantastic host and was exceptionally helpful. We’d love to come back!

Our 3 night stay at Downhouse Farm was truly amazing. The house is beautifully renovated, with every little detail being well thought out and it is sparkling clean. Kate was extremely responsive to our queries and check in and out was a breeze. She also kindly accommodated our 2 little dogs for the stay (and provided a water bowl and treats on arrival). The personal touches were so appreciated - biscuits and tea & coffee, milk, games (including garden games), a book of recommendations and the list goes on. Every amenity you can think of is covered. Hair dryers, extra blankets, kiddies cutlery, a beautiful AGA stove/oven, hand wash, extra towels and shampoo and body wash. We really felt at home (8 of us), all beds were super comfortable and the peacefulness of the farm’s location made for good nights rest all round. The farm is located near to walking trails as well as a little hill - perfect for watching the sunset over the town of Dursley. The garden/outside seating area is just beautiful - under an apple tree over looking a field of sheep. Perfect for a family/friends breakaway, we wish we could have stayed longer!! Incredible value for money and we will definitely book again. Thank you Kate & family!

My grandson loved the piano. The little luxury touches were really lovely and the Eco awareness was great. We had a fantastic family weekend with beautiful weather and stunning sunsets. Can’t wait to come again next year!

This is a beautiful, well equipped, spacious farmhouse. It was immaculately clean and tidy and has a very well equipped kitchen. Having two living spaces was great for our multi-generational group!

Downhouse Farm was the perfect space for our two families to get together. It was spotlessly clean, cosy, well located in beautiful countryside and had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun time. Plenty of games and garden toys for the kids. A lovely selection of food was provided including delicious cake, milk, bread etc and even treats for our puppy. Kate is a fantastic host; friendly, helpful and extremely quick to respond to messages. I cannot fault this cottage and highly recommend it.
