Temple Guiting Barn is located in the picturesque Cotswold village of Temple Guiting. The Cotswolds are Britain’s largest designated area of natural beauty, with gently rolling countryside and idyllic villages crafted from exquisite Cotswold stone. Temple Guiting is an ideal base to explore this beautiful region, with proximity to many famous towns including Broadway, Burford and Stow-on-the-Wold.

   

This ancient barn was redeveloped over the course of a year by the designer Sophie Conran in conjunction with the celebrated architect and listed building specialist Ptolemy Dean. The results are stunning, with beautiful interiors that maintain the integrity and origins of the building. Exposed oak beams and glimpses of Cotswold stone walls are combined with soft hues, crystal chandeliers and an eclectic mix of antique and contemporary furnishings to create a sophisticated and luxurious retreat in a tranquil Cotswold village.

The five sumptuous bedroom suites have all been individually designed and all feature en-suite bathrooms for your comfort and privacy.

The fabulous double height drawing room features some amazing antique furniture, from a vintage 40s Danish leather sofa to a Florentine painted cabinet, coupled with some unique design features such as an exquisite carved mirror above the open log fireplace that slides back to reveal a plasma television at the touch of a button. There is ample comfortable seating on plush velvet sofas and upholstered reading chairs, a stylish table and chairs perfect for card games and unique art work adorning the walls. Double French doors lead out to the terrace and delightful courtyard garden complete with hot tub and beautiful rural views.
