About this property
Tithe Barn, Lyneham is a superb choice for a large gathering of friends or family looking to be located right in the heart of the Cotswolds and within a very comfortable and spacious barn conversion. We see it as the ideal choice for a family country holiday given its surroundings, tucked down a very quiet lane on the edge of small village. Set on a working farm within a small Cotswolds hamlet, the barn has nearby access to the rolling countryside of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. Over the years guests have regularly returned to Tithe Barn (which is a very good sign) and we suspect it is because it has a wonderful open plan living space which is absolutely ideal for entertaining. The owners who are around the corner and happy to give advice and ideas on what to do locally have worked hard to make this an attractive destination and together the property and the classic countryside surroundings make it perfect as a get-a-way choice. Internally the barn has been well renovated and provides superb facilities and touches including the enormous windows in the centre of the building. Externally this English Country barn has an enclosed garden and access to brilliant walks in every direction. An absolute favourite with our customers, and you can see why.
PLEASE NOTE THE COTTAGE CAN SLEEP 10 PEOPLE IN TOTAL 8 IN BEDS AND 2 ON THE SOFA BED. You can use the sofa bed FREE of charge but you MUST bring your own bed linen and towels for the sofa bed.
The large village of Lyneham is situated at the southern end of the Cotswold Hills, in rural northern Wiltshire, close to the border with Gloucestershire. Lyneham is probably best remembered as the base of the RAF’s Hercules fleet; the base was closed in 2012 and now hosts a Defence Training College. The village is well served by local businesses, including restaurants, pubs and shops, whilst the larger community of Royal Wootton Bassett is just 4 miles away. The friendly market town of Wootton Bassett was granted Royal patronage in 2011, due to its link with the repatriation of military personnel who sadly lost their lives serving their country overseas.

Cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Owners checked in the evening we arrived to make sure all was okay, Great little location with lots of cute little towns surrounding. No complaints, we had a lovely stay,

Very spacious lounge dining area and a very well appointed kitchen with every thing needed to provide meals for 8 people. Nathan was the perfect host, available if you needed to ask anything. We would return if we are going to stay in that neck of the woods again and would highly recommend the barn to others. Thanks again Nathan regards Iain

Downstairs was very spacious with good off road parking. The floorboards upstairs are very noisy when moving about and we were mindful of this with a two year old sleeping. Pull switch in the bathrooms could do with replacing. An extra saucepan would be an idea as there was one and a really large one nothing in between. The decor was getting tired and could do with some redecorating in parts. A welcome pack would also be a good idea for when you arrive after a journey. We did have a problem with ants as it was very hot but found some spray under the sink which did the trick.
