Good things were that linen was clean as was the whole of the barn. Negative: No welcome pack as listed. Very hot in the summer time. No fans were provided - I had to sleep downstairs as it was cooler. Need to take own fans. Also the garden furniture was broken so could not sit outside in the nice weather. Host order a new umbrella but we didn’t have any tools or time to put together.Over all not worth the money compared to other stays and attention to detail.

Fabulous base from which to explore quintessential Cotswold villages and experience a calm, peaceful, rural ambience. Wool Loft is comfortable, clean, well-maintained and value for money. Would definitely recommend to others and re-book if I am lucky enough to return to this beautiful part of the country.
