Summary: 28 of us aged from 1 to 83 got together at Goodlake Barns for a long awaited four generation family reunion. There are very few places where you can get this number of people together in one place with suitable accommodation for all. And the added benefit of 'The Hub' room where we could all meet and eat together. Everyone commented on the high quality of the accommodation and facilities.

Summary: We found Goodlake Barns to be a perfect location for our family reunion weekend. The barns were all very well equipped, clean and spacious - each with a good supply of useful sundry items and a welcome pack which was a nice surprise! The Hub provided an excellent space for rowdy children if they weren't in the garden and enabled us all to eat together in the evenings.

Summary: We were delighted by the cleanliness and condition of the Barns. We rented all of them (other than there was no access code for Pony) other than through the Barn. The Hub and Bathroom were well stocked with glasses and kitchen utilities were ample for our purposes. We had a reception on the lawn for all our guests plus the Brides family on the Friday which worked well. The bed in the Main Barn above the kitchen is terribly hard because the mattress is far too thin /worn for the quality of accommodation. I didnt try the others.

Summary: We are a group of four families who have been holidaying together annually for over 30 years and now have the third generation in tow. As the group expands a single house is more difficult to find and this is the first time we have tried somewhere where there are individual properties in order to provide enough accommodation for all of us. The layout of the properties around a pretty courtyard and the ability to all seat together for our meals (and watch the England quarter finals Euro match) was a real bonus! The Barn enabled us to congregate as a group but having space in the other properties for anyone needing some time away from the noise and busyness of a large group was welcomed. All properties were decorated and furnished to a very high standard and very comfortable. We normally like to stay in different properties and locations each year but are very seriously considering returning to this property in the future.

Summary: We stayed for a long weekend to celebrate some special family birthdays. A 21st, 30th, 50th and 80th. Being able to stay together but have our own space when needed was fantastic. Each barn was well equipped, clean and comfortable. The larger barn and function room was so well designed and thought out and couldn’t have worked better as a communal hub. We hired an outside caterer for the Saturday so we could relax and enjoy being together. He was very impressed with the facilities and had everything he needed to make it run smoothly. Only one suggestion to the owner…Blossom Barn worked brilliantly for my parents and Auntie as it was all on one level and catered for disabled access. My Mum suggested a handle/rail near the toilet would be beneficial as she found it difficult to get up and down. Apart from that our stay was perfect. We are hoping to return one day

Summary: This place was really good for a family reunion. Location wise it was a short drive to the facilities of Faringdon and Wantage with some nice local walks from the house.

Summary: We had a fantastic time here and it really suited the range of ages in our family group. Each property is wonderful and spacious. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchens well stocked. We all had a great time.

Summary: Choosing venues at a distance can be a bit of a lottery, but living as I do in Scotland with family scattered in South Wales, Yorkshire, Oxford, Bristol, and London, Goodlake Barns turned out to be the perfect solution. In fact the venue exceeded all my expectations and all 18 off us who were there felt the same. The whole layout gave us closeness but also independence. A superb conversion of a lovely collection of old farm buildings with a plethora of bathrooms and comfortable sofas. Sadler’s Catering did us proud in The Hub for our celebratory meal, beautifully served and with canapés in the Barn lounge beforehand. They even very thoughtfully, after clearing everything away ( no washing up!), left tablecloths so that we could linger at the table which we did, talking until the early hours. Brilliant! Another bonus was my finally getting to walk in the White Horse Vale after passing through it as a child in trains from Cardiff to Paddington. A truly memorable weekend.

Summary: I booked this for my friend's 50th birthday weekend suprise. Accommodation was brilliant as 28 of us would have been cramped in 1 property, so having the barn for 10 and several smaller properties was brilliant. Fantastic properties very clean and self contained, very spacious and had everything you needed down to the personal touch of complimentary biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar and fresh milk In the fridge. Comfy beds and very spacious rooms. Loved the countryside feeling. The hub was great for the party atmosphere with its own kitchen and bathroom facilities Just a perfect accommodation in a perfect setting

Summary: This is the second time we have used this venue, for a family gathering of over 20 people spanning four generations, and we would gladly use it again. The accommodation is comfortable and well equipped, and there is a large communal space which is ideal for getting everyone together. The surrounding countryside is lovely for a walk together. A few minor practical points: - It would be good to have grab rails in the showers and by the toilets, especially in the wet room which is otherwise very well adapted for use by disabled people. It (and a slip mat in the shower) would make things a bit safer for elderly people using it. - The fridge in the communal area was very frosted up. - One of the many toilets did not flush very effectively. But these are very minor quibbles, and we loved the place and had a brilliant stay. Thank you.
