1 / 19Cotswolds - Keepers Barn
Kemble, Gloucestershire
A Cotswold stone barn for two on the outskirts of Kemble, all on one level, with an enclosed garden and private patio, walks from the front door and two dogs welcome.
Walks start from the front door at Keepers Barn, a traditional Cotswold stone barn on the outskirts of Kemble that has been renovated with a contemporary twist. This dog friendly retreat is for a couple and two dogs, all on one level, set within beautiful grounds with fields and countryside around it.
The entrance is the place to leave walking boots behind and settle the dogs before stepping into the light and airy lounge, kitchen and diner. Exposed beams run across the lounge, and its windows give delightful views over the garden and the surrounding area, as does the table for two where breakfast is eaten. Cooking is easy in the well kitted kitchen, where a dishwasher saves the washing up.
Head down the hall for the double bedroom and the bathroom. Out of doors, the enclosed garden has a private patio and a charcoal BBQ, so the morning coffee goes outside into the sun as the dogs explore, and supper can be cooked outdoors in the evening. It is a peaceful, rural spot where the world passes by and two dogs soon make themselves at home.
The surrounding fields and countryside are wonderful for walks with the dogs, and Kemble has a railway station with trains to Paddington and Cheltenham. Close by are Keynes Country Park with its fishing and boating lakes, Cirencester, the Roman capital of the Cotswolds, with its amphitheatre, museum and Roman Villa, and Westonbirt Arboretum, famed for its walks through woodland. The many Cotswold villages around Kemble are all within easy reach.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Cotswolds - Keepers Barn dog friendly?
Yes, Keepers Barn welcomes dogs — up to two of them. The barn has a private enclosed garden where dogs can roam freely, and being a small, single-bedroom property, it's been designed with a two-people, two-dogs balance very much in mind.
Are dogs allowed at Cotswolds - Keepers Barn year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the barn reads very much like a place set up for dog owners as a matter of course rather than exception. For confirmation of availability at a specific time of year, it's worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Cotswolds - Keepers Barn with my dog?
The enclosed garden gives dogs freedom to get outside at any hour without disturbing anyone, which is genuinely useful at first light. That said, the farm has livestock on the other side of the garden wall, so dogs need to go on leads the moment you leave through the gate. It's also worth knowing the barn is entirely on one level with no stairs, which makes it a particularly good fit for older or less mobile dogs.
