  We had a lovely week at Tickmorend Farm.

  There was ample space both indoors and outdoors for us all to enjoy and the decor has a real wow factor with lots of extras you wouldn't expect. Luxurious and comfortable and just what you need for a relaxing Christmas (with a lovely Christmas tree and decorations). A few minor issues: We do feel the listing is a bit misleading and needs clarification - it's not 6 bedrooms unless you also hire the barn (although it turned out we had!). The kitchen lets the property down a little. The 'working triangle' is squashed up one end so we were dancing around each other a lot and a single oven is rather inadequate for a property sleeping 10. Fortunately we also had an oven in the barn, plus a washing machine (there isn't one in the main house). Storage for our own food was very limited. We had some issues with the hot tub, which Matt largely sorted out for us (kindly coming out to sort it on Christmas eve) but it did reduce temperature every night and wasn't back to 40 until around midday. Matt seemed to think this was down to power cuts but it did happen every night so a bit puzzling. I repeat these were minor issues and we had a great stay, but for the price we paid we did expect perfection.

  Beautifully renovated old farmhouse with newer kitchen and shower room extension in pretty countryside on the western edge of the Cotswolds.

  Spacious house with plenty of modern bathrooms, newly decorated and nothing showing signs of wear. Perfect for 8 of us in three generations staying long w/e for a wedding nearby. Space for cot in main bedroom, small double next door felt good for 4year old. Large king room for granny and other grandparents spread out across the whole of the attic with plenty of space and cosy rooms. Stairs have high treads for anyone with mobility issues but the central oak staircase and landing is a stunning feature in the house. Two ground floor loos and four different areas downstairs with wood burners plus kitchen made it very easy to holiday and prep for wedding. Tge gardens are a joy, especially for a dog wander, also footpath immediately opposite house. Super leisure area with wild swimming pool we used daily and very nicely finished sauna/shower & loo nearby. Hot tub looked great but we didn’t use. We entertained some old friends for lunch and were allowed to cut some fresh asparagus from the extensive vegetable patch which was a real treat. I couldn’t recommend this property highly enough, it was heaven to stay in and I would go back in a flash.

  The house is beautiful!

  when booking the holiday we wanted a peaceful and relaxing location for all the family to enjoy and this house delivered exactly that. The Orangere is amazing loved that the dinner table is located there different from the photos on the site (could do to be up dated )We lit the fire and played games together.The kitchen is great just needs a few bits adding ie Oven gloves, some of the kitchen trays need replacing . Japanese bath was a massive hit! During our stay we visited bath (45 min drive ) a must-visit is Broughton - on -the water the little Venice of England and ended our day at Jeremy clacksons Diddly squat farm shop then headed home to cook pizzas on the fabulous outdoor kitchen. The weather wasn't the best but that didnt stop us from using the hot tub and sauna and the natural swimming pool very bracing in the cooler weather definitely worth paying the extra. Two others that loved the outdoor space were Freddie and Brue our spaniels they had great fun in the huge outdoor space .Thank you for a great week definitely highly recommend this property.

  We had a fantastic stay at Tickmorend Farm and Matt made us feel very welcome.

  The house is stunning, the beds are super-comfortable, and the bathrooms are very luxurious. The gardens, paddock and orchard are glorious. The pool was great, quite bracing in the cooler weather but also very tranquil for a dip with the dragonflies. The hot tub and sauna were great. We made use of the BBQ and the pizza oven. We cheated with the pizza dough and got some from the lovely Italian restaurant in town, which we then stretched, added our toppings and cooked in the pizza oven. I think it was the nicest pizza I have ever had. We had a few excursions to Bath, rock climbing with Up & Under Adventures, Westonbirt Arboretum and Swindon Designer Outlet but honestly it was just nice to chill at the house and enjoy the grounds and pool area. I would highly recommend Tickmorend Farm for a visit.

  Thoroughly enjoyed staying in this very interesting house and barn, the gardens and pool and outdoor cooking area were excellent, as were the figs and other garden produce.

  Well arranged for dogs. It worked very well for a lunchtime party with 36 guests, with a good choice of local external caterers. Downside: Only contacts for emergent problems were both in USA at the time. The large kitchen was organised by someone on LSD. The crockery, glasses etc seemed somewhat assorted, and the large plates were so large that they prevented the dishwasher from working. The powered gate failed, luckily opened. And could someone start a movement to ban all those cushions on beds? All that said, these were minor irritants and did little to spoil an excellent stay. I would heartily recommend Tickmorend Farm.
