Lovely cottage set in idyllic countryside on the edge of the village. Well equipped and comfortable accommodation.
Lovely property in a lovely village. Weather was perfect, after days exploring we sat out in the garden. The only negative is the barking from a local kennels
Warm, spacious, comfortable barn with walks from the door and easy to get to Bibury
Amazing property! Perfect for our family weekend away. Lovely and clean!
Lovely and very well equipped barn making for a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Would definitely recommend.
Home from home. We have stayed here three times. Love that it has private parking and a garden. It was nice to sit outside to eat. Beds are comfortable. Plenty of hot water and washing machine and tumble dryer reassuring, as we didn't have to pack quite so many clothes. We would stay there again. Only thing lacking was a wall clock. I never knew what time it was!
We stayed here for 3 nights. Second time we have been here. It was my wife’s 40th birthday! This time around we were underwhelmed to be honest. We were missing the basic essentials and had to drive to the nearest supermarket to get them. For the price you pay for goodness sake putting a small shampoo, shower gel and cooking oil it’s not going to hurt your wallet!! Last time we were there all those products were available including fresh local eggs etc That’s a shame as it would have been a 5 star otherwise.
Lovely cottage delightful location. Arrived in the dark looking forward to a cup of tea alas no milk and welcome pack. No local shop black tea and a biscuit for breakfast no way to start a holiday. Complained to Rural Retreats given 50.00 pounds off next booking. No help to us only putting money back into Rural Retreats.
It was our second visit to this lovely rental in a for-us ideal location.
A lovely barn conversion in a lovely location. The cottage was really clean and we mean REALLY. The house keeper had clearly done a first rate job and we totally appreciated this and all the facilities.
Well equipped, clean, peaceful location, great Wifi. Wonderful welcome basket. We'll be back
Well appointed accommodation disappointed one double room had to go downstairs for bathroom where the shower didn’t drain away properly Poor garden furniture steep drive and wi Fi not good But overall very comfortable and well placed near Bibury charming Cotswold village
As a party of 4 adults Rosebank Barn was a spacious and comfortable place to stay. The barn was converted to a high standard with everything we needed. A good quality hamper was provided. Julia the housekeeper went out of her way to be helpful and meet our needs and came over especially to sort out synthetic bedding and separate twin beds which we had requested but hadn’t been done on our arrival. If you’re looking for a getaway from it all place to stay Rosebank is perfect. I would have awarded 5 stars but the WiFi was of very poor signal on our arrival and we had one day fielding calls from India which were highly suspicious. There is also very poor phone signal, although a phone is provided for incoming calls and emergency calls. The steps on the ground floor are steep and may not be suitable for elderly people or a family with young children.
A lovely barn conversion done to a very high standard. A generous welcome hamper on arrival. Perfect for walking or cycling straight from the property. The only minus is the lack of privacy between this property and the one next door . A fence on top of the stone wall would solve this.
Beautiful barn. Perfect for 2 couples. Warm, comfortable, spotlessly clean & well equipped. Easy & friendly communication with housekeeper. Generous basket of goodies on arrival - it’s nice to have basics like milk & butter & extra nice to have a bunch of daffodils too! Friendly neighbours. Pleasant walk along the lanes to Bibury. Fab sausage rolls at the trout farm cafe & the Catherine Wheel offered friendly welcome & good food. Highly recommend Rosebank Barn. Thank you.
Clean and spacious. Lovely having a food hamper on arrival. Warm and well equipped
Rosebank barn is lovely modern and warm place to stay but getting the code for the key safe is an antiquated process, you have to ring the house keeper who then tells you she will text you the safe code but doesn't actually text at all & so you then have to ring the main office of rural retreats to get the code, why they can't just e-mail or message you direct is a mystery. Great place just a shame about getting all the information to gain access, they need to modernise there procedures.
Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry that there has been some confusion over the key safe code. We dont put the details on to an email or a message for security reasons and we ask guests to ring the housekeeper to discuss keys and hamper details. If a guest cannot get hold of a housekeeper then we ask them to call our office but I gather from Julia that you were able to speak to her before your stay.
Great place. Beautifully refurbished and very comfortable.
Nice cottage in quiet rural location with Cotswold villages within easy reach. To ensure privacy, front door and kitchen windows would benefit from blinds/curtains as they are close to downstairs cloakroom. Shower cubicle has nowhere to put soap/shower cream, flannel etc. No hooks in this room to put clothes on.
Great accommodation and housekeeping service!
