Set just outside the pretty riverside village of Bidford-on-Avon, Inglenook Barns comprises two barn conversions, Combine Shed and Cider House at Oosland Barns. This charming collection of barns on a working arable farm let you enjoy an authentic country escape. Each cottage has a hot tub and a wood burning stove making these cosy retreats after day’s spent walking, visiting Stratford-upon-Avon or exploring the many Cotswold hot spots which are within easy reach. Book with us to get exclusive discounts to top attractions and experiences. Please note a 25% deposit is required at the time of booking. This is fully refundable up to 60 days of arrival when your remaining balance payment is due. It is our policy not to take bookings for single sex group celebrations, which includes Stag and Hen nights, or groups where the majority are under 25 years. Please make yourself aware of the hot tub rules and hours of use. Four guests maximum are permitted in each hot tub at one time. 4 well-behaved dog/s are welcome for an additional fee of 40 GBP per dog. This fee is not included in the rental price. Please advise us at the time of booking if you are bringing a dog/s and you will be sent a request for the additional fee. Dogs must be restricted to 2 dogs in each barn. Inglenook Barns is on a working farm, and at certain times of year there is more activity than others. In the summer (August/September) during harvesting, tractors and trailers will be coming backward and forwards filling the grain stores, which are situated close to the barns. This will not impact on your stay but is something to aware of.

Bidford-on-Avon boasts scenic walks from the fine 15th century road bridge crossing the famous River Avon, and a picturesque church, built in 1250. The village also has shops, pubs and a supermarket - all on an exquisite riverside setting.
