4 Bedroom Cottage in Gloucester, Harescombe

As you wend your way along the hedgerow-lined lanes leading to the quiet hamlet of Harescombe and Owls Nest, you will feel as though you are miles from anywhere. There are, however, a multitude of attractions within easy reach, and so although the setting is blissfully bucolic, everything you need is close at hand. The farmyard is a rural reminder of your location on this family farm, but within the pale Cotswold stone walls of the barn, you'll find a beautifully finished, warm, and welcoming place to stay.
The rustic, covered courtyard provides a sheltered space for parking as well as an all-weather area to enjoy. The simple lines of the barn belie the attention to detail and as you step inside, you'll find a beautiful kitchen, dining area and a comfortable living room with a cosy log burner in one corner. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor, offering flexible sleeping arrangements. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and bathrooms. The style and décor are light and contemporary, offering a delightful, modern feel, in this most rural of locations.
Outside space comes in the form of the clever use of the covered courtyard. There’s outside seating, a ping pong table and festoon lighting were you can relax with a drink after a day of exploring listening to the birds singing and the cows gently grazing across the lane. Keen fishermen and women will enjoy the easy access to the Harescombe Fisheries, which form part of the farm and sit at the top of the valley. There is covered parking for 4 cars.
Ground Floor
Guests enter through the covered courtyard and there are steps up from the decking to the door.
Kitchen/Diner:
Pale stone flooring and pale walls all add to the sense of light and space. The hub of this lovely barn is the gorgeous kitchen with everything practical needed for a self-catering stay including a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and microwave. The budding Nigella's or Jamie Oliver's in your group can whip up wonderful meals to be enjoyed at the large farmhouse table, which seats 10 comfortably. It's a wonderfully sociable space to gather.
Living Room:
The far end of the barn forms the living room which boasts windows on either side. Two plump sofas and a comfortable armchair provide plenty of seating, whilst in the corner is a wood-burning stove. Whilst the barn is warm and toasty, there is something very special about the glow from a real fire. A wall-mounted Smart TV means you can keep up to date with all your favourite shows.
There is a ground-floor cloakroom and a small hallway that leads to bedrooms three and four.
Bedroom Three:
This lovely bedroom boasts high vaulted ceilings, and lots of natural light from the window, which overlooks the lane beyond, and the Velux. An oak-framed super-king size bed is flanked by bedside tables with reading lamps and there is plenty of room to unpack with a wardrobe and a chest of drawers.
En-Suite:
Adjoining bedroom three is a spacious and well-appointed en-suite bathroom with a shower cubicle featuring both rainfall and hand-held shower head, W.C hand basin and de-mist mirror.
Bedroom Four:
Offering flexible sleeping arrangements, this spacious family room can be configured with three single beds or as a king-size and one single. Featuring high ceilings and a window overlooking the farmyard, this is a calm space to relax after a day of exploring. The bedroom also features a wardrobe and a chest of drawers.
En-suite:
The large en-suite bathroom has a generously sized shower with a huge rainfall shower head and a hand-held shower attachment, W.C. and a de-mist mirror.
First Floor
Bedroom One:
With wonderful rural views over the cow fields to the village church and rolling hills beyond, this spacious king-size bedroom is decorated in pale shades of grey, green, and blue. An upholstered ottoman sits at the foot of the bed and there's a half-height wardrobe with hanging space and shelves as well as a chest of drawers. Pull the soft armchair up to the window and sit for a while watching the birds flitting in and out of the hedgerow opposite.
En-suite:
The en-suite to bedroom one boasts a large walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead, W.C handbasin and de-mist mirror.
Bedroom Two:
The second bedroom on the first floor is a charming king-size room with views over the farmyard to the fields beyond. The large window is a lovely spot to watch the wagtails as they swoop and dive from the building opposite. There are bedside tables with reading lamps, a chest of drawers, a full-length floor mirror and a half-height wardrobe.
Bathroom:
This bathroom features a bath with a shower attachment overhead, WC, hand basin and mirror.
Outside
An all-weather covered courtyard provides parking and a charmingly rustic open-air space. There is decking and garden furniture for guests to enjoy in this area, a gas barbecue and a ping pong table.

Summary: The owls nest barn is a lovely place to stay, all the rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. It’s well appointed with everything you need. Being in a working farm makes it so much fun, seeing the cows come in and go out in the morning is a highlight. The hosts are very responsive and friendly. Martyn the farmer introduced us to the cows and calves, chickens and kittens!

Summary: Just got back from a wonderful stay at Owls Nest Barn. The accommodation is lovely, lots of lovely touches- very comfy beds, great well equipped kitchen, lovely soft massive towels etc. The homemade lemon drizzle cake was a wonderful welcome! The location is amazing - we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the farm working busily around us. You really are staying in the farm with this accommodation, we loved watching the cows coming out of the milking shed everyday and walking down to their field. David (the host) and his family were so lovely and took time to chat to us and answer our farm questions. We all loved our tour of the farm , meeting the calves was so special. It was a great opportunity for our kids (and us!) to learn more about where our food comes from. There are plenty of lovely places to visit within a reasonable distance. We did Gloucester, Forest of Dean and more local places. We even headed to Birmingham one day for Cadbury World. I would absolutely recommend Owls Nest Barn for families, groups of couples etc. 4 great sized bedrooms and bathrooms is so handy. A lovely relaxation peaceful location- we just felt guilty for sitting around enjoying the world going by when the farmers were all so busy! Thanks so much for having us.

Summary: We stayed for a week at Owl's Nest Barn. The property was exactly as pictured online and had everything we needed. We chose it due to location and the fact it had two ground floor bedrooms, which was important for my father in law who has limited mobility and he had no problems staying here. Communication from the hosts was great and easy. They were very welcoming and lovely and provided a starter pack of milk, bread and a delicious lemon drizzle. The oven and stove were a bit trickly to figure out, but we managed most nights. The outdoor space was lovely. Had lots of fun playing table tennis. The surrounding property is beautiful and we enjoyed walks up to the ponds and to the church. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.

Summary: We booked Owls Nest Barn for a family Christmas gathering. Everything was fabulous! Enough of everything to cater for 8 adults, we even used the BBQ for our butterflied lamb leg. Beds really comfortable with crisp white bedding and fluffy white towels in all four bathrooms. We all enjoyed being in the countryside with easy walking (take wellies) and the walk to Painswick is a must! Thoroughly recommend for a relaxing stay!

Summary: An immaculately clean, high quality, well furnished property.
Clare O. Nov 5, 2024 11:10:10 PM
Summary: Owl’s Nest Barn is a stunning property which provided us friends with a perfect place to get together. Everything was just about perfect - beautifully and comfortably furnished and decorated with everything you could possibly need to relax. Comfy beds and lovely linen, lovely bathrooms with plenty of hot water and fluffy towels. Well appointed kitchen and a super lounge to sit and watch tv or listen to music. Spotlessly clean and well maintained with friendly and welcoming hosts, we had a marvellous weekend and will surely be back! Hugely recommended!! One thing - a better sign from both sides of the entrance would make the property easier to find in the dark, but other than that, perfection for us.

Summary: Beautiful property - had everything we needed, and even left us bread, milk and a lovely homemade cake. Would stay again.
