A stunning property. Very friendly and helpful family. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Ruth

We had a very good stay. It was all very relaxing and well laid out. We had a family party on the Saturday, felt a bit uncomfortable as we didn't want to disturb the neighbours, we hadn't realised that they would be so close. Would recommend this cottage for those looking for peace, quiet and country air. The hosts were accomodating and helpful.

Tracy

A truly stunning barn, with high quality build and fittings and everything you need for a wonderful stay. It was lovely to find a packet of ground coffee, a coffee machine and some chocolates waiting for us on arrival. The barn is situated in a small village but the Royal Oak is within a mile walk and the carvery is fabulous. Highly recommended.

Lindsay

What a lovely barn! We really enjoyed our stay here. Great communication with the owners and the barn is converted to the highest standard. Will certainly be returning.

Karen

A fantastic weekend

Sandra

Was exactly what we had hoped for and was the perfect blend of location, excellent accommodation and very sunny, mild weather for a half term break with 3 generations of the same family and 3 dogs. Hot tub was a much appreciated and well used addition. Thank you so much for the welcome . A lovely well designed barn conversion.

Jacqueline

We had a lovely stay with our family last weekend. The Barn was lovely and comfortable with everything you need. The hot tub area was amazing, we even had a bbq late afternoon and sat outside. The Royal Oak is an easy walk away with tasty food and great beer, we were able to take our dog in on the Saturday lunchtime as the pub was quiet. We would l ove to stay again.

Rachael

Had a wonderful stay, lovely place to spend my 50th birthday. Will definitely come and stay again.

Jayne

For my husband's surprise, 60th birthday, we stayed at this fabulous, well equipped, very clean converted barn that was in a great location with ample parking on site. The barn was very spacious and very well presented with no expense spared. We made good use of the jacuzzi, which was very relaxing. The kitchen was large with a large island that wa s great to sit around and chat whilst cooking, etc. We would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

Ben

Thank you for a lovely stay. The accommodation was lovely, warm & cosy, and included a decorated Christmas tree and reindeer. The kitchen has everything you need for your stay. We will be hopefully back in the summer time as it was a little cold use all of the outdoor facilities.

Ben

A fantastic holiday cottage in a beautiful setting. Plenty of walks to take the dog on and there was a pub down the road. The hot tub was put to good use. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Andy

Nice sized cottage for six people with a lovely hot tub and space for parking too. It's not really dog friendly as there are lots of steps and high ledges around the property, and unfortunately the oven was broken too so we needed to make other plans last-minute. That said, we had a lovely weekend with nice long countryside walks and evening soaks in the hot tub.

Belinda

This property is exceptional, everything being of the highest quality. The BBQ & Hot tub area was fantastic, There was adequate car parking at the property for 3 cars , We will definitely return to Cruck barn.

Sarah

Just returned from a fab weekend away at Cruck barn with friends. Immaculately clean with high quality furnishings, bedding, towels etc. Hot tub is brilliant and great that it is covered, everything is thought of including plastic glasses for use in the tub, logs for fire etc. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and all very good qua lity. Only thing that I would recommend is earlier check in/later check out times for the price point.

Paul

Converted barn fantastic, well thought out , outside lovely garden and Hot tub lovely and sitting area comfortable

Ann

Super modern barn. Everything we required was there. Outside heating area and hot tub was a bonus. Central for most sight-seeing areas such as Symonds Yat, Cadbury world, Broadway and Bourton on the Water.

Jean

We so enjoyed our stay here. Everything was excellent and very clean. The hot tub was lovely and the enclosed garden was perfect. There are some lovely walks as you turn either left or right of the Barn with some of the most beautiful views we have seen and there is a pub also within walking distance.

Kim

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at the Cruck Barn! From the moment we arrived we knew we had made the right choice, everything was catered for - secure garden for our three dogs, a beautiful outdoor area for bbq's and relaxing in the hot tub and a beautifully renovated barn with all our needs catered for. The owner even brought us fans as we stayed in the July heatwave and were struggling with the heat. Could not recommend the Cruck Barn enough, fabulous holiday!

Carol

Super cottage in a quiet location. Very well equipped. Everyone loved the hot tub.

Mark

Perfect retreat in a beautiful location, great amenities. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, and was a great birthday getaway!

Linda

An absolutely stunning property - first class in every way

Charlotte

A beautiful barn with far reaching views. The barn was exceptional. Every need catered for. Impeccably clean. Comfortable accommodation over two floors. The log burner was lovely to cosy up to of an evening. The hot tub was a real treat. A fabulous weekend with family. Thank you.

Josephine

A beautiful and immaculately clean accommodation . We had a very comfortable 3 night stay with friends and two dogs. We had everything we needed. Beds, bedding and towels were all lovely.

Stephanie

Stunning place, booked for a grown up girls celebration and all enjoyed immensely. The barn is clean and well thought out with far more facilities and products provided than planned for. So warm throughout and the detail supplied for ultimate comfort (2x huge bean bags- the most comfortable lounging!) was outstanding! Has the most perfect outdoor a rea with hot tub, seating/dining and bbq, would be gorgeous in the summer. Overall a fantastic place and hope to return sometime.

Richard

The cottage is absolutely perfect and the best equipped we've stayed in for a while. The owner and his daughter that lives next door to the cottage are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend booking this cottage.

Kim

A beautiful well maintained Barn, fully equipped and immaculate. The hot tub was amazing, and we had an amazing time. Cant wait to come again.

simon

Great location for a base when walking the hills.

Oliver

Lovely stay at the barn. We wanted to make a cheesecake mid trip and the owners kindly lent us tins. The hot tub was perfect, accomodation just all so great! Thanks for having us!!

Carolyn

A beautiful space and just what we needed for a friends treat weekend away. Felt very rural but relatively easy to find and didnt have to negotiate miles of narrow twisting lanes. The outdoor area with the hot tub was perfect even in January. The kitchen was amazing - good size and so well equipped. Comfy furniture and a cosy log burner meant we le ft totally recharged. Really hope to be back sometime.

Sarah

Lovely clean barn.

Kerry

This Barn is absolutely fantastic. The pictures do not do it justice. The overall quality of the Barn is first class. It is set in a lovely remote part of Worcestershire but close enough to amenities. The hot tub was amazing and the water was checked and levels balanced daily by the owners. Will hopefully be back one day.

Karen

Absolutely fantastic barn conversion Could not fault it. Would definitely book again.

Margaret

Beautiful renovated barn. Everything has been well thought out to give ultimate comfort. All facilities were available and the hot tub is fantastic - being undercover means you can comfortably use it even in the rain. Clare was so helpful, friendly and kind. I would highly recommend and will be returning.

Katie

Absolutely gorgeous property. It was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was perfect and had everything you need to cook. Great location with beautiful walks around the area. The owners next door was very friendly and helpful suggesting walks etc. Hot tub was lovely and the log burner was nice to relax by at night after a day of exploring. High ly recommend.

Louise

We had such a lovely time here. The place is spotlessly clean. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and more! We really enjoyed the hot tub and bbq too. I would definitely recommend booking.
