4 Bedroom House in Elkstone, Cheltenham

Sitting just outside the village of Elkstone high above the Cotswolds, Oldbury Barn is a rural Cotswold stone barn conversion. Surrounded by countryside valley views with footpaths leading from the garden, this is an immersive Cotswold escape.
A large open plan living area with a high ceiling and exposed beams is the hub of this wonderful family home. Large windows and French doors let you expand this space into the garden. There is a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area and plenty of space to stretch out and relax in front of the woodburning stove. Two en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor make Oldbury Barn a fantastic choice for multi-generational holidays. The home is full of colour and character and you will feel at ease here, making it your own for a short while.
The garden is ideal for those staying with children. A lawned area has space to play and there is a swing/slide set so you don’t have to worry about keeping the youngsters entertained. Sit on the terrace soaking in the views and serve meals cooked on the BBQ to make the most of this amazing location. The gravelled parking area to the front of Oldbury Barn provides ample space for six cars.

The fully equipped kitchen features a large island with plenty of preparation space, a breakfast bar, fridge, freezer, Rangemaster oven and hob, dishwasher and plenty of crockery, utensils, glassware and bakeware for a fully self-catered stay. French doors lead directly from the kitchen to the patio making it super easy to carry food and drinks outside for al fresco entertaining.
Sitting at the centre of the open plan area is a contemporary oak table that expands to seat all guests. The table is positioned beside the superb central arched window, giving diners a great view out to the garden. On the other side of the dining table is a long sideboard with a Sonos speaker and lots of family games.
At the far end is space to relax and chill out on two three-seater sofas or an armchair perfectly positioned to enjoy the large woodburner in the inglenook fireplace or simply curl up with a good book.

Summary: An excellent place for a family get together - a stylish barn conversion with lots of space indoors and out. We've been there as a family three times now and loved it every time. Also handy that the access is flat and there are two downstairs bedrooms with ensuites and no steps.

Summary: Oldbury Barn is a beautiful home in an exceptional setting. Customer service was excellent and the pre-stay information the best I’ve ever seen. Having two fridges was very good and the freezer was a decent size. Provision of crockery and cutlery was great, the travel cot, stair gate and high chair was appreciated, but there weren’t sufficient wine glasses for the number of guests staying and the dining table a squeeze for eight adults and two toddlers. Frying pans could do with replacement and a selection of serving dishes would be appreciated. A larger dishwasher or two dishwashers, as now often seen in larger properties would be beneficial and the facilities for waste collection/recycling could be improved. Bedrooms and bathrooms were a good size and comfortable. The seating area was very good and the garden a wonderful facility. Overall, a very good property which could be made excellent by a small amount of upgrading.

Summary: The property is open plan which means for large families it’s great, you feel together yet not too on top of each other. The Green Dragon pub/restaurant is only 4 mins away and is a must for lunch or dinner. Property was clean, lots of parking space and very welcoming. We would book this property again.

Summary: Nice layout, particularly if you ate going to have two families with kids. Plenty of space to spread out.

Summary: We had some problems when we first arrived as we had no gas (so no hob, heating or hot water) but text the housekeeper who had it sorted within a couple of hours. It is a beautiful property with an absolutely stunning view . A minor critique would be that the cooking oil was empty and we couldnt find shampoo/shower gel/ hairdryer/sandpit but maybe we werent looking in the right place. But nothigmeally an issue.
