The Charford Barn in Charlbury was so cozy and a perfect place to stay in the Cotswolds. An easy taxi ride from the Charlbury train station. (Just book ahead for pick up. I highly recommend Charlbury taxi) The surrounding grounds are breath taking. The house has everything youâll need for a great get away.
To review this property is tricky. The trouble has been with the host being untruthful about the mattresses in the house - which ultimately cost us with an uncomfortable stay. Neither the host nor VRBO have been responsive in helping to resolve issues as they happened or after the event.We have had three lengthy calls with VRBO but they never resolve or call back.
Not sure what makes a super host as this host has been titled but I would be happy with a regular host if they responded when we requested help!! All bad sadly
This is a lovely property in a quiet location; convenient to most Cotswold attractions. It was easy to find. Our host was exceptionally responsive to our (many) questions and with resolving a small issue.
A couple of things to be aware of:
--there are a lot of steps inside and outside the property, many without any handrail. If you have any mobility challenges, these might be of concern.
--The washer/dryer was in a separate building.
--The twin bedroom did not have any place to hang clothing. There was a very nice console/desk, but that space could be put to better use with a small wardrobe.
-- The overall cleanliness was fine, but the cottage could use a deep clean from time to time. There were cobwebs in the rafters and corners, and the vent over the stove was sticky with grease.
All that being said, we enjoyed our stay!
