Clover Barn is a stunning barn conversion in the Southern Cotswolds, sensitively & painstakingly designed to give a wonderful feeling of light & space. With wonderful touches, such as the, now legendary, Welcome Hamper filled with local goodies & the warm personal greeting extended to every guest by it's owner, The Countess Bathurst, this is an exceptional place to visit.A stones throw from Cirencester & within walking distance of a train station & the village of Kemble, this delightful idyll enjoys a beautiful rural situation, surrounded by fields (it lies in the heart of a working farm), & boasting gorgeously tranquil & private surroundings. Clover Barn itself combines the traditional Cotswold charm of open ceilings & exposed beams making it light & airy in Summer; yet still cosy & warm in Winter, ensuring it offers the best of an elegant rural retreat year round. Internally the property provides the highest quality of self catering accommodation &, since it's new management in July 2013, there have been many upgrades & improvements, including new furnishings, the addition of colourful art, better lighting, the installation of free Wi Fi, (see below), iPod docks
- & a FABULOUS new kitchen. No detail has been overlooked
- from the new squishy sofas, to the wonderfully equipped kitchen & bathrooms
- not forgetting the fantastically comfortable beds with their silky Egyptian cotton sheets & soft fluffy towels! Kemble itself is a traditional Cotswold village, well located for touring the entire region
- it also has a small shop & the benefit of a train station with direct links to London. We cannot recommend this beautiful barn more highly.
