A little bit of heaven in the Cotswolds!

We stayed in Hazelnut Cottage at Heath Farm and it was one of the highlights of our visit to the UK. The Barbours have created a wonderful place to stay with walks about the farm property, a cozy and comfortable cottage and gracious hosts. The kitchen was well equipped with a full size (for the UK) fridge and everything we needed for the nights we decided to stay in for dinner. There is seating outside each cottage if you want to dine al fresco (which we did when it was warm enough) and a bar-b-que you can borrow if you want to grill. Its a perfect location to explore some of the beautiful Cotswold villages nearby, or just enjoy walks in the country and birdsong if you want to get away from it all. We did some of both and it was wonderful. I highly recommend staying here. I find it hard to believe you could find a more beautiful place to stay in this part of the UK.

Relax and enjoy

Heathfarm is a place to just relax and enjoy the wonderful surroundings. The beautiful cottages hold everything you need and you can either enjoy the views on your doorstep or visit so many interesting places all within easy reach. Personally we just sit back and enjoy the views and lovely walks - a time to de-stress in ideal surroundings. That’s why we continue to come back time and time again - it’s always like coming home (we wish!).

Delightful Garden

The cottage was cozy and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. The terrace and pond just outside was an absolute delight with beautiful roses in bloom. It is in full sun so can get quite hot in the cottage when it is warm but a fan was provided. The farm property was fun to explore, and the games are a great option if you want to relax at the farm.

Such a beautiful place

We came here for a few days on our own after our wedding and I'm so glad we chose this place. The farm is so beautiful and you can just wonder where ever you want to. We went fishing and played games on the lawn and was really able to relax. My fave was watching the sunset by the firepit. Mon and the family are delightful and very welcoming and the cottage itself was really warm and homely and the added extras were the icing on the cake. I can't wait to return with our children.

Short break

The cottage was everything that was promised and the owners and family were on hand to assist and answer any questions in a helpful and pleasant manner .The cottages are well located to explore and enjoy the whole Cotswold area . There are ample grounds to walk around the cottages, feed the fish and observe the abundant wildlife. A thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing short break , it would have been good if we had been able to stay longer.

A beautiful hideaway!

My husband and I had an amazing and very relaxing weekend staying at Hazelnut cottage. So much care and attention to detail has gone into designing the space, the beautiful courtyard has a distinctly Spanish feel (reflecting Nena's roots - we had a couple of lovely chats with Nena during our stay, she is so personable and friendly). Walking around the delightful and very peaceful grounds was very therapeutic and a much needed 'reset'. We would thoroughly recommend Heath Farm cottages to anyone!

stunning!

In one word: stunning! A really lovely en pittoresque accommodation. Heath Farm itself is stunning, with a garden, pond and a meadow with sheep and goat. An amazing view at the meadow and the small lake with trout. And the gardens, villages and castles in The Cotswold were so beautiful! We have enjoyed our stay very, very much!

Fabulous country getaway.

We wanted something quiet and relaxing with walking nearby and a fireplace to unwind by in the evenings. And that is exactly what we got at Hazelnut. The kitchen is fully equipped with just about everything you need if you are self catering. The bed is really comfy; there was as much firewood as we wanted. The views from the cottage and the courtyard are stunning. We were made to feel very welcome. The walks around Heath Farm are well worth taking and it is possible to walk to The Boxing Hare through the woods and footpaths, without going on the main road. I'd definitely recommend the Falkland Arms in Great Tew. It's a properly unspoiled historic pub, serving great food and real beer and the village is stunning. The whole set up at Heath Farm is really impressive. Although we didn't make use of it, I imagine it is a perfect place to bring family groups as so much is provided to keep young people entertained. We will definitely be back at some point. Thanks so much to the Barbour Family for our welcome.

Absolute tranquility and comfort! Will be back! HIGHLY Recommend

We stayed in Hazelnut and couldn't be happier - From the milk and cake waiting for us to the extraordinarily comfortable beds, we felt spoiled in the best of ways. There was an unlimited supply of firewood so we were able to keep cozy and warm. They even had it prepped so all we had to do was light a match. The grounds are picturesque. It felt like we were in a painting overlooking the goat-speckled hill. The sounds of the nearby woods and winds across the grass were grounding and peaceful. We enjoyed a walk through the woods. It was Autumn so we watched pretty yellow leaves sprinkling down like gentle rain. The kitchen had everything we needed and was perfect. The couch - comfy and relaxing. The bed - I slept 11 hours and I don't usually sleep well. I just kept going back to it and sleeping. We nearly cancelled all our plans we had prepaid to just stay there but we pried ourselves out. Like other reviewers, we wish we had booked it for longer. The pond is nice and had fishing poles there. I caught and released a good-sized trout - sooo fun! The staff and people working on the property were all very friendly and helpful. One recommendation, if you get there after dark you can find the parking area but then finding the cottage is a little confusing. I may have missed some directions that were emailed though. It is nice and dark out there so you can see the stars very clearly when there are no clouds. The darkness is wonderful for sleep but n Tot easy if you get there after the sun goes down. The host was immediately responsive and helpful when I messaged that we were lost on the property. After we found the place the first time, we had no other struggles. I would recommend looking at it from Google Earth before going so you don't do like we did. This is a must-stay location and I travel all over the world in a variety of different venues. This was one of my favorites for the tranquility, comfort, thoughtfulness, kindness, and beauty. Oh, you can also order more cakes from them and arrange in advance for meals, groceries or other things for an extra cost. We wish we had taken advantage of that opportunity. Book now if you're even considering it!

Return trip to one of our favourite British Escapes

This was our third trip to the incredible and quintessential Cotswolds Heath Farm cottages. I adore everything about this place from the beautiful and accessible farmland to the orchards and woods- all of which are a world away from my city home. Every season offers it’s own unique experience in this place. Previously having stayed in the much larger Walnut cottage, we were still wowed by Hazelnut cottage which is apparently the smallest of the cottages. It had so much charm and character and is perfect for a couple. I can’t begin to explain how cosy the cottages are when you have the wood fire burning away and a homemade fruit crumble coming out of the oven. The cottages are exceptionally clean and offer all the facilities you would expect of a modern rental but without losing any of their old world charm. Despite being around a central courtyard, they also feel private. We foraged for some of our food and we’re able to get crayfish from the lake, blackberries from the hedgerows and some apples and pears from the orchard. A unique and fun experience for us. My only minor feedback would be to add some curtains or panels to the smaller windows in Hazelnut as it is bright in the morning and to get the bikes into better working order. But of course this will not stop me from returning again or recommending your wonderful farm to my family and friends. Thank you for another incredible visit and your warm welcome and hospitality.

Idyllic English Countryside

Before we even reached our Hazelnut Cottage, my daughter and I had decided to stay the entire next day on premises. The central fountain in the courtyard and profusion of flowers were peaceful perfection. The cottage itself was well outfitted to meet our cooking needs, which came in handy when it came time to cook up the fat trout I caught in the refreshing pond. Recreation abounds with lots of walking trails through the property, indoor and outdoor games to keep any age occupied. I hope to return!

We stayed at Heath Holiday Farm for our first few nights after arriving in the UK. It provided a comfortable, warm and beautiful place from which we could arrange our relocation. Their hospitality and care also touched us. Thank you for the warm welcome.

Perfect hideaway weekend

My partner and I stayed at the Hazelnut for 3 nights, as soon as we arrived to the cottage we knew it would be fabulous. It was warm, clean, tidy and smelled wonderful. We had a cake and a loaf of bread waiting, firewood available, easy parking, and the views from the fire pit area into the paddock were gorgeous. We really enjoyed walking around the grounds, playing some of the games, relaxing in the cottage itself and also the selection of local pubs for food were great as well. Not too far from Chipping Norton for a bit of essential shopping and even a visit to the Diddly Squat Farm Shop if you're a fan of Clarkson & Kaleb. We would definitely recommend this for a short break - the people in the cottage next to ours we're staying in theirs for 7 weeks, though, so I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy it as a home-from-home for a longer time too!
