Combine Shed at Oosland Barns - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
Sitting amongst peaceful farmland at Oosland Barns, this converted barn is your country retreat. Around a central courtyard, these cottages are perfect for couples or a family getaway where each day starts with views of lush greenery beyond your private garden.
Set across one floor it is a spacious cottage which is light and airy. Finished with a traditional style from the classic woodburning stove in the sitting area to the exposed beams above it suits a variety of groups. Two bedrooms share a bathroom while the open plan living area is where you will spend your time. Light the fire and take the opportunity to spend time together while meals are prepared and the children watch TV.
The cherry on the cake at Combine Shed is the hot tub. Just outside the back door you can relax in the bubbles with a glass of fizz. With a BBQ and picnic bench this is a fantastic spot in the summer months. Bring the dogs and let them run off steam in the garden or explore the surrounding land. You can reach Bidford-on-Avon in just fifteen minutes on foot where paths along the River Avon await.

A lovely, peaceful stay, would definitely come back. The view from the garden/hot tub is beautiful. Lots of thoughtful extras such as flip flops and robes for the hot tub, coffee pods and so on. Great location for exploring the Cotswolds, Stratford etc.

Excellent stay!
We really enjoyed our long weekend here. The location made it very easy to travel around the Cotswolds and also visit Stratford-upon-Avon which is only 20mins away. The outlook over the fields is beautiful, we loved having our private garden and hot tub. The log burner is a lovely addition and it really did feel home from home.

Wonderful accommodation in great location
We had a wonderful time staying here with our daughter - the cot and highchair pack made it really straightforward for a holiday with a 1 year old. The location is perfect - a ten minute walk to get to the shops and pub in Bidford and a 15 minute drive to Stratford or to Cotswolds villages. The wood burner and hot tub made it a real treat to stay here every evening. Thank you!

Clean and well maintained property
Clean and well maintained property - 5 stars
Double bed is a regular queen size - room would easily support a larger bed which would have been more comfortable but all other furnishings comfortable enough - 3 stars
Location really requires a car - 3 stars

Perfect getaway
We had such a lovely time at the Combine Shed. We were promptly provided with a cot and high chair for the baby, there was ample space for the dog, and we were able to enjoy luxurious amenities like the log burner and hot tub. Found everything we needed easily, and enjoyed time to relax on a rainy weekend away from our normal responsibilities. Would hope to come back with the family again.

Peaceful and relaxing
We stayed for 4 weeks whist having building work done to our house. The owner was fab, super helpful if we needed anything but just left us to it which was great. We even took our cat with us. The location is gorgeous, really tranquil and peaceful. Walking is lovely, local pubs and shops easily accessible. Accommodation is comfy, well equipped and was a real home from home.

Ideal for our yearly reunion at Bidford Gliding Club
The Combine Shed is handy for us every year. Always clean and well equipped. We found the beds uncomfortable this year and let the owner know.
This is our fourth time staying at combine shed an excellent stay as always .
Superb location for whatever you are planning to do on your stay / holiday .
Private rural location but very close to the town of Bidford on Avon .
Only point I would like to make is if you are looking for the property in the dark the entrance off road is not lit and can be easily missed !
Will be booking again for next year

2 night stay
We stayed here for 2 nights in June to visit Stratford upon Avon .
Lovely spacious property in quiet area. Bidford upon Avon had places to eat and takeaways
The property was ideal for our dog with a fully enclosed garden .
Facilities were good in the property . The wifi however never worked which was frustrating for us . That was only negative
Would recommend this property to others

A pleasant barn conversion in a good location
Location wise the barn was very good, near routes but quiet and a delightful outlook. Easy access through farm to footpaths with lovely countryside and river walks. Either up the pavemented road or along footpaths into village, nice not to have to use your car all the time.Village provided all you need for stay and has great riverside pastures to enjoy. The barn had all the essentials and is in a good clean condition. It accomadated 4 but only 2 plus dog stayed which for comfort was right for us. The enclosed garden was safe for dog and lovely for outside eating etc. with good garden furniture. If I returned I would like to try an alternative barn at Oosland farm. A really nice break in a beautiful part of the country.

A lovely property in an ideal location for exploring the Cotswolds and catching up with friends.
The property is neat and tidy and plenty big enough for 2 couples. The hot tub is a lovely addition. The criticisms would be the need to fix the curtain pole in the lounge - really messed with my engineer friend's mind, and also the cleaners need to look up, especially in the bathroom, and clear all the cobwebs away. It was also impossible to have a shower without making the floor very wet as the screen across the to of the bath wasn't long enough. Other than all that we would be happy to come back to the area and book the same property, or try one of the others on the farm.

Would book again
I booked a short break (2 nights) at the Combine Shed in Bidford on Avon. It was a superb place to stay :-) - very comfortable and everything we needed was there. The open lounge / dining / kitchen area was very spacious, light but still had a comfy feel. The kitchen itself had everything we needed for self catering for a few meals. The bedrooms were also very comfortable and I think we all slept well in the beds. Overall the place was clean and pleasantly decorated and offered a lovely retreat - in fact I said many times (to the kids annoyance I'm sure) that I would happily live in a place like this! The enclosed garden area was beautiful, backing on to large fields. The only thing that could perhaps have enhanced the stay would have been some comfy garden chairs or sun loungers to enjoy a good book with a glass of wine while overlooking the wonderful views.
This is our third stay at combine sheds Oosland barns and we will be staying again .
Property is spacious and a superb location rural but very close to all amenities.
The property is clean and very well equipped highly recommend
We had a lovely four night break. Combine She'd was exactly as described. Sofas were extremely comfy and snallbut secure garden great for our dog. Very nicely decorated with all the facilities you might need. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful accommodation
Wonderful place to stay and enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside. Accommodation is just beautiful, very homely and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Our two large dogs enjoyed the ample garden and also the lovely walks along the river.

A great stay, with a great host!
I stayed for a total of 3 nights with my partner. On our arrival there were a few unexpected issues with the property which led to me calling up the owner, Kate, late at night (10pm-ish!). Kate picked up and immediately came round to the property to try and sort the issues, and offered us a stay in one of her other properties instead to give her time to fix the problems. I was really impressed with Kate’s speed in coming round as well as her kind and friendly attitude.
We ended up staying in Owl’s End - the property next door, and we had no qualms whatsoever! The place was very cosy, and is perfect for either one or two couples to stay. We really enjoyed the open fire and Kate had left lots of wood and firelighters out so we could enjoy the fire the whole weekend. The TV was great too and having Netflix was definitely a plus!
Overall we had a fantastic stay and it was really down to Kate’s amazing attitude that meant we had a great time. Would definitely recommend the property we stayed in and would certainly recommend Kate as a host!

Fantastic place to stay
The Combine Shed has to be one of the best self-catering units I've stayed in. Very clean, well equipped, close to all the amenities that we needed. A few minor niggles - the coffee machine didn't work, and no instruction books for appliances, etc, but overall it was truly excellent. I would highly recommend this property to anyone considering it.

Pleasant and peaceful
The Combine shed provided a very pleasant and peaceful break for 4 adults (and dog). A short walk to the town for shops, pubs and the river. Facilities at the property were more than adequate for self catering and the garden was secure for the dog to roam. Would definitely stay again and reccomend to others
