Charingworth, United Kingdom

Charingworth is a quiet hamlet on the edge of Ebrington. There are fantastic walks nearby, a great local pub and lots to do in the surrounding area. The house is in the Cotswolds but also close to Stratford upon Avon, Oxford and Warwick.

Getting around

Our house is in a rural location and there is no public transport within walking distance. The nearest train station is in Moreton in Marsh which is about 6 miles away. Trains are on the hour from Paddington and the journey takes around 1 hour 35 minutes. There is a taxi service from Moreton or we can generally pick up and drop off guests, subject to availability. The nearest airport is in Birmingham, but our overseas visitors generally fly to London and drive from there. We are approximately 2-2.5 hours drive from London. You really do need a car, unless you’re planning to spend the whole time in the immediate locality, or are happy to hire taxis to get around. I also have a 7 seater car and this can be made available to you with a driver for a small charge to transport you to and from the local pubs. Subject to availability. There is plenty of parking at the property.

Additional rules

We ask that the house be left in good order on departure and that noise levels be reasonable so that we do not annoy our neighbours. No excessive noise or loud music after 11pm. After this time please turn the music down and be considerate to our neighbours. No amplified music Please, please don’t use glitter or confetti as this is incredibly difficult to clean up! I’m happy for you to put up decorations but please do not use sellotape or any other fixings that may cause damage. We welcome guests with dogs. Please keep pets on the ground floor, off furniture, and clean up any poop before you leave. If you could avoid letting your pets pee on the lawn that would be great! Guests may smoke in the garden. There are ashtrays provided so please make use of these rather than stubbing out on the ground. Please recycle rubbish. Recycling bins are provided. There is parking at the front of the house for up to 7 cars and more parking available if required. However, please do not park on the tarmac drive leading to the gates to the property. This is our neighbours land and although we have right of way, we do not have permission to park there. If the house is too warm, please turn down the heating, rather than open all the doors and windows! If you have hired a hot tub, please bring swimming towels. Please be kind to our septic tank and don’t flush wet wipes etc down the loo. Sanitary bags and bins are provided in all the bathrooms

Olivia  |  September 2020
I visited the Apple Barn with friends to celebrate a double birthday and we had the loveliest time! Stephanie was so helpful in arranging things before hand such as hot tub installation, allowed us early access to the house to decorate with birthday decorations and checked up on us during our stay! I couldn’t recommend the property or the host enough. X
Hannah  |  August 2020
We had a great stay in Stephanie’s place. We were 8 adults and 5 kids (2 – 5 years old) and we all had something to do. The kids enjoyed the garden and Stephanie was kind enough to set up the tent for us which was also a great experience. The two rooms on the top floor are inter-connected, so make sure that you are with a group you are intimate with. Thanks for a great stay Stephanie.
Farnaz  |  July 2020
Apple Barn is so conveniently placed to explore many lovely villages around the Cotswolds. Stephanie was a superb host, she replied very quickly to any concerns that we had and really went the extra mile to ensure that we had a lovely stay. I would totally recommend this lovely home to anyone thinking of exploring the local area.
Hayley  |  July 2020
Stephanie is an amazing host. Great at communicating and made sure we had the most comfortable stay. She left us to it once she showed us everything around the house. A great summer escape for my family and I.
