We were at a wedding here, and stayed at the accommodation here. Very good and well organised. A great location... Walking distance into Tetbury... Very good.

Beautiful scenery, location is fab but sadly it has become a conveyor belt for weddings. I feel for the brides as they don't have time to set up their day ....For the cost of it all, it should be booked out for 1 wedding per weekend. Must pack in as many weddings as possible.

Lovely setting for events, unobtrusive Covid-safe catering plus comfy beds and good communal areas. Staff are there when you need them, but let you do your thing. A short break which felt longer and more restful... loved the piggies.

Tythe Barn its self is a beautiful building. Staff completely on the ball, polite and attentive. I was there for a wedding and whilst I didn't stay in their accommodation friends and family members did. By their account the accommodation could be a lot lot better. Reports of mould and gaps in the walls that they could see through to next room amongst other things.
