This is the second year running I and a group of aging school friends and wives have stayed at the property. Its a very comfortable and welcoming property which is perfect for accommodating a large group of people.

A delightful cottage that was perfect for a family gathering and birthday celebration. It was very homely and plenty of space and bathrooms for everyone, was in easy reach of wildlife park and country surroundings. The owner was most helpful and provided everything we needed. Worth a visit and would recommend to others.

We had a great family long weekend here. Very good size property and good to have separate cottage as well but still enough room to all eat and socialise together in the main house. Great to have the enclosed patio area to be able to let the dog out. Lots of restrictions with dog though, so they need to be very obedient if you take one. Main bedrooRead morem bed not very comfortable but en suite very spacious as are all the rooms. It was great to have the houses decorated for Christmas, nice touch. Hide

In a tranquil setting, with lots of space, this is the perfect base for a Cotswold break. We were 3 families (4 generations). We had both properties. Lots of kitchen equipment, high chairs and cot as needed , plenty of seating inside and out. Would also suit a group of adults. Highly recommend. For anyone with children, the Cotwsold Wildlife Park iRead mores a must. Hide

For an annual get together of old school friends and partners, Orchard Barn proved to be a perfect place to stay. Clean and cosy, it has every angle covered and we all very quickly felt at home. Host Pippa was also extremely helpful and very responsive to our needs. We hope to return.

Just returned from a week in Orchard Barn and Thames View that was very enjoyable. Nine 'oldies' found it to be spacious and light with modern fittings, plenty of kitchen utensils and enough champagne glasses for all.! We enjoyed eating together in the big window area and there were enough outdoor chairs and cushions for when the sun shone. If you Read moreare going there we had an excellent Chinese takeaway from Mark's kitchen in Bampton. Hide

Amazing place! The welcome pack was most generous. Everything about the venue was of a very high standard. The bathrooms were exceptional, the living area most comfortable for all 10 of us to spread out and the patio area a most welcome addition.
