OUTSTANDING

We booked for a weekend stay for my wife's 60th birthday. We had 14 adults, 2 children, 2 infants and 3 dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone. Each bedroom was very roomy with 6 en-suites. The cleanliness was spot on. The little hideaway with a air/pool table was ideal for the youngsters. The huge dining table which turned into a full size snooker table kept the adults entertained. Genius idea!! Gorgeous location for walks...amazing.

Perfect Retreat: Stylish, Comfortable, and Convenient!

We recently stayed at this stunning house for a work retreat, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations. Every room having its own bathroom was an absolute luxury and made the stay incredibly comfortable for our group. The house itself is impeccably designed, with every detail thoughtfully considered to ensure guests have everything they could need. Despite the wild weather brought by Storm Bert, the house was wonderfully warm and cozy, making it the perfect haven for our stay. The access instructions were clear and straightforward, which made arrival stress-free. Plus, its location couldn’t be better—just an easy 18-minute walk to Soho Farmhouse, which was ideal for us. This was actually our second stay here, having had an equally fantastic time last year. It's rare to find a place that combines style, comfort, and convenience so perfectly. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back again!

Beautiful house in a wonderful location

Our family party of nine stayed at the property for a 50th birthday celebration and it was perfect! The house is beautifully decorated with plenty of space for everyone and a bathroom for each room. The house is very well equipped with lots of storage space and entertainment. The hot tub, snooker table and air hockey were very popular! The grounds were great for walking the dog and we made use of the tennis court. We had excellent weather so were able to eat outside in the private garden. We also went on one of the lovely walks recommended in the house details. We would definitely return.

Fantastic weekend break at a wonderful venue

Fourteen family members, aged from 8 to 73, all enjoyed a superb weekend at Stonewell Farmhouse. The hot tub was a real hit with the youngsters among us, as was the air hockey and pool table. The older members enjoyed the snooker table and just chilling in the grounds and indoors. Catering for fourteen was really easy with all the high spec kitchen equipment (although we were surprised not to discover any espresso cups). The bedrooms were excellent and the beds very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Beautiful property in stunning location

We had a fantastic time staying at Stonewell Farmhouse for a birthday celebration. We were a mixture of adults and children and the facilities were excellent for both. It is incredibly well maintained and everything you might need is supplied, from kitchen utensils to tea, coffee and some excellent cakes. We would absolutely recommend the property for a group looking for somewhere to stay, the hot tub is a great addition and the BBQ is top class. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to come again.

Family New Year

What a great time we had staying at the house. Everything was catered for with everything we needed. The children enjoyed the large spacious house. The beds were comfortable too and the hot tub was just what we needed to relax completely during our stay. We enjoyed it so much we’ve booked it again but for Christmas this time. It’s lovely to have all the family together in one place to celebrate. Set in the countryside, wonderful!!

The perfect place for friends and family

We booked as large group of friends for a long and were not disappointed, more than enough space for everyone to mill around Great fun to be had with the games room, hot tub and snooker table. Everything has been thought of for comfort and a touch of luxury. We would highly recommend this to anyone for either friends or family. The local pub the Falkland Arms is a wonderful friendly place (its small so if you're a large group book in advance) - Gluten Free menus are above an beyond. Definitely hoping to return - thank you.

just perfect

What a fabulous house in a fantastic location. Our birthday family gathering - 15 plus little dog was just perfect at Stonewell Farmhouse. Tastefully decorated and full of character, the house met all our needs. Plenty of space for the grandchildren to run round, hot tub and snooker kept the adults busy, while the air hockey fuelled our competitiveness. The welcome pack was gratefully received - even the dog had a welcome pack! We will certainly be returning to Stonewell Farmhouse. Thank you!

80th coming of age

We had an amazing family gathering of 14 for my 80th celebration with children, grandchildren and sibling. Tew Farmhouse provided us with masses of comfortable space to relax, catch up with university age grandchildren, play billards, tennis, and explore locally. The kitchen is very well equipped and we loved the walk-in larder. One small moan, it would be good to have a soap dish in the shower. We soon got used to the creaky floorboards!

Fabulous place to stay !

From the moment we booked Stonewell farmhouse the communication with Stay Cotswold and then with the owners of the property was fantastic! The cottage its self was warm, beautifully decorated and had a brilliant layout downstairs. A particular highlight was the dining table which converted into a snooker table ! Upstairs every bedroom had a bathroom which was great although 2 of the bathrooms were across the corridor and one only had a bath, but that wasn’t a big issue ! Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there but the grounds were beautiful! Our top tip would be don’t try and walk on the main road into Great Tew village as the road is v dangerous instead take the footpath behind the house for a beautiful walk to the pub which takes about 30-40 minutes! All in all a fantastic stay and I would recommend the property highly !

Everything we needed!

We were very impressed with the house, it had absolutely everything we needed for a long weekend away with friends. 14 of us stayed and were all really comfortable. The kitchen was so well stocked with crockery and equipment and it was amazing to have the 2 fridges and the wine cooler! The gifts for the dogs was a lovely touch, and the basket of towels for the hot tub was really well thought about. We found a nice walk to the pub, it took around 30 minutes so was perfect. The only negatives for us which didn't take away from how beautiful everything else was were the following; - The downstairs toilet was really grubby inside, none of the ladies wanted to use it so had to go upstairs. - Due to the wooden floors the sound of people moving around was really loud, maybe some more rugs would help.

Friends get together

This is a fantastic property for a friends meet up. The outside space was great and we made great use of this, in fact we never used the large lounge as we were outside till dusk. The BBQ was clean and easy to use and very useful. The Farmhouse itself was very clean and modern, with great facilities. The bedrooms and ensuites were very clean and modern. Our only major issue was that as beautiful and clean the wooden floors were, the creaking from them was unbelievable. No matter which room they were all as bad which was a little shame but not the end of the world.

Extended family long weekend get together

We were 14 adults ranging from the ages of 20 to 67. Stonewell is a lovely, warm house equipped to a very high standard. The kitchen had plenty of crockery and cutlery and space to prepare food and drinks. The snooker table was well used and it was especially nice that it was situated within the house, rather than in an annexe or barn. The hot tub too was a great hit with everyone. Everywhere was clean and comfortable, with plenty of towels and lovely bedrooms. The only difficulty we had was that although there was plenty of very hot water to the kitchen sink, many of us found showers going cold after a minute or minute and a half. It didn’t seem to matter what time of day or which floor of the house it was, there just wasn’t enough hot water to shower comfortably, which was frustrating. One of our party attempted to run a bath, but after running a couple of inches of tepid water, gave up. This was disappointing. Others have mentioned the creaky floors, but for us the main issue was insufficient hot water in the showers.

Absolute Dream Stay

We rented the cottage for a work gathering. Several of us are members of Soho House and were searching for a cottage nearby, but with more space than the ones on the farm. This house was absolutely perfect. There was ample room for all 14 of us, featuring a great variety of rooms with twin beds, doubles, and kings, each equipped with its own bathroom. The house offered so much space, both indoors and outdoors, that we never felt crowded. The dining room was spacious, boasting a beautiful table where we could all comfortably sit together. The kitchen was also impeccably stocked, and having 2 dishwashers was a dream come true. Every detail had been carefully considered, and I have recommended the house to many of my friends. If I had to mention any drawbacks, I would point out the creaky floorboards, which were mentioned in previous reviews. We used earplugs and didn't hear a thing. Additionally, I suggest sharpening the knives as we had difficulty cutting vegetables. Lastly, for music enthusiasts, the Bose mini speaker in the kitchen isn't very loud, so I recommend bringing your own speakers. These are all minor issues that didn't diminish our overall experience. I am eagerly looking forward to returning. Thank you so much for providing us with such a delightful stay.

A Perfect Property

We chose to stay here for a long weekend to celebrate various birthdays, anniversaries and achievements together as a family. There were 14 of us including several children and Stonewall Farmhouse was the perfect fit. We had plenty of space and one bonus was the huge dining table that could accommodate all of us so that we were able to eat together. The pool table underneath was a stroke of genius and kept us all entertained for hours. The children also loved the basement room with its air hockey table. The kitchen was spotless and brilliantly stocked with more than enough crockery and cutlery - everything had been thought of. The two dishwashers were very welcome too. The pantry and large fridge were amazing - in fact both of the fridges were used. The bathrooms were all immaculate with the wonderful addition of Method liquid hand soap, White Company miniature toiletries and even decent quality toilet roll plus sensor lights in bathrooms and on landings. Details in the bedroom such as full length mirrors, smaller make-up mirrors and bedside wall plug sockets were excellent. The bedding and towels were spotless with no shortage of towels. The pillows were lovely too. The fresh flowers were beautiful, a gorgeous touch, and the spare dog bowls & leads were also a fantastic idea should we have needed them. Our only other feedback would be: The floorboards do creak, as other reviews have said, but its a beautiful old house so it's to be expected. A clearer house name on the gate would have been useful as some of our party were accidentally trying to enter the gate code into next-door's house on arrival! It would also be nice to know if there are any walking paths near the house as it is on a main country lane. Some take-away/delivery menus/food recommendations in a drawer or on the side would be a good idea. Tilly & Laura at StayCotswold were both super helpful during the booking process. We would definitely visit again and we would definitely recommend Stonewall Farmhouse to others. I do hope we will be back soon.
