The Cotswold Way passes nearby for keen walkers, along with bridle and cycle paths. Coopers Hill is the venue for the annual cheese rolling.

The Old Barn is a super little bijou property, perfect for couples and set in a great location. Its very clean and well equipped . Its just minutes away from the Cotswold way on the edge of Upton village and there are good places to eat only a short drive away. There is also an excellent farm shop less than 10 minutes walk from the property. Mandy Read moreis a super host, helpful and informative regarding the local area and its attractions and was so supportive when we had a bit of a family crisis. Hide

A very small, compact property. Space it tight and there are several places where, if unwary, a bump on the head is the result. However, the space is very well utilised and comfortable. The property is well equipped and well maintained. It's located within easy distance of Gloucester, Cirencester and many interesting places to visit.
