We have just come back from a 2 night stay at The Shooting Lodge at Mount Pleasant Barns. It was the most perfect getaway for our mini-moon! The lodge is cosy and inviting with the comfiest sofa and bed for the ultimate relaxing break! The views from the barns are amazing as well! We will definitely be back!
We have just came back from the best weekend at Mount Pleasant Barns! We stayed at The Shooting Lodge with our 2 dogs, the barn is beautiful, and we adored the extra special Christmas touches. We can't thank the hosts enough for making us feel so at home and we will definitely be booking again for the same time next year :) ...THE perfect Christmas break. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 5*.
We’ve just stayed at the Shooting Lodge, and what an amazing experience. Perfectly tranquil, an amazing setting, stunning interiors with such attention to detail, and not to mention the wood-fired hot tub that really was the cherry on top. Anthony and Julia were great hosts and had even included a welcome basket for our arrival. Ideal for a couple’s getaway, plus the dog (who also had a wonderful time). We would 100% recommend, and look forward to visiting again!
Wow! What can we say. Our 2nd visit to the Shooting Lodge was just as memorable as our first time. This place is just perfect for chilling and kicking back. The Lodge is just beautiful and the decor and finishing have clearly been done with love and such attention to detail. All the lodges are done to the highest standards. The views are magnificent (even when the weather is grimy). Julia & Ant made us feel ever so welcome as did their gorgeous doggies. The Lodge is perfect for nearby visits to the beautiful picturesque Cotswold villages and all details of local amenities and places to visit are listed for you in a handy visitors’ folder. Ant was kind enough to set up the Eco hot tub which is so welcoming after a day of walking. Nothing is too much trouble and there is even a yummy welcome pack on arrival. Without a doubt we would highly recommend the Lodge and will most definitely be returning.
We feel so lucky to have stayed somewhere so lovely. We’ve had amazing dog friendly walks despite the hideous weather! Would highly recommend the hot tub, even in the pouring rain!
We had a lovely weekend away here. The Shooting Lodge is amazing, especially the hot tub! It’s in a lovely, peaceful area and Julia and Anthony were really welcoming and great hosts. We will be back.
We have had such a relaxing, peaceful few days here at the Shooting Lodge. All 3 of us (dog included!) had the best timed we will be coming back for sure. Thanks for being host that when we need you, you were there, but it also feels like we are completely alone and able to put our feet and paws up!
Absolutely amazing time. Thoroughly rested from our busy lives soaking in the hot tub looking out at the beautiful scenery and wonderful wildlife. The barn is something else. And the pooches are part of the fantastic welcome from you all. Thanks Anthony & Julia. We will be back.
