We had a wonderful week at Owl barn. It was well located to get out and enjoy this corner of Gloucestershire. The downstairs bedroom and wet room were a real bonus for our 90 year old father, who is less able to manage stairs these days. We spent a lot of time out on the patio enjoying the views and the birds. The house was well appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful week.
