We were a party of 13 and we booked Kitehill (Cobnut and Walnut barns) for Xmas (20-27 December). The barns were opposite each other and so proved really easy to pop in and out. The standard of the accommodation was very good. Comfortable, well-equipped, warm. There was plenty of room to eat - we asked for a table extension and extra chairs and they were waiting on arrival. The lounge/communal areas are roomy and comfortable. Plenty of parking and a great location to explore that part of the Cotswolds. We had a great holiday and I can highly recommend the barns and the estate.

We had the best time staying in a pod! From some of these reviews, I think people come with extremely high expectations and don’t look at what they’re booking. We came in the snow and were concerned it would be cold but it was extremely cosy. The layout of the pod is perfect, with everything you need and pods like these are designed to provide the basics, but I would actually say that it felt way more than basic, and very good value in the area. At least you don’t need to walk to a toilet block in the middle of the night! Thank you so much for our stay. We had so much fun with the fire pit and we kept saying all weekend how good value it was and how much we loved it, especially for the location :)

Just the most beautiful location for a rural escape - we loved watching the horses trot past the pod and wandering across the village to the café. Super convenient for places like Bourton and Stow. I will be recommend Notgrove to all my friends!
