What can I say, the house, the rooms, the gardens, Jill and Brett, the whole package is an absolute joy to experience, I was only sorry that we couldn’t stay longer. We are already making plans to return in spring next year. Other reviewers have covered all I wanted to say quite eloquently and I can’t think of anything else... more

Jill and Brett really are the perfect hosts. From their offer to pick us up at the train station, to their warm welcome in their home (complete with a glass of wine upon arrival and their eagerness to get to know us and share their love and knowledge of the area), to the spacious and well-appointed room, our stay was... more

How can we ever stay anywhere else after staying here?! Having read the amazing reviews, I thought I could only be disappointed. I wasn't. It exceeded every expectation I could ever have. I wanted to surpise my boyfriend with a trip to the Cotswolds for his birthday and after reading about this place I thought it could be the perfect... more

There is only ever the rating of 'excellent' given by guests on Trip Advisor's scale and only glowing responses in every single review of Byfield House. This is because there is simply nothing like the brilliance of the beautiful house and guest rooms, the delightful village and surrounding countryside, and absolutely nothing to compare with the extraordinary care and generosity... more

Simply the best place we have ever stayed. Our second visit was just like coming home.

It gives just the right balance of feeling welcome and... more

Jill gave us a tour of their house and told us about the history of it. We were then invited for a... more

Mary and Peter, East Fremantle W.A. My husband and I spent 3 idyllic days in the Garden room after reading wonderful reviews on Trip Advisor. The room was a delight, the bed by far the most comfortable ever and the complimentary goodies in the fridge very generous enabling us to enjoy our breakfast at leisure in the garden outside our... more

After a busy 5 weeks travelling around Europe my partner and I wanted a couple of quiet days in the Cotswolds before our long trip back to New Zealand. We decided to stay at Byfield House (and Painswick) based solely on the very positive Trip Adviser reviews. We were quite literally overwhelmed by the standard of the accommodation, the friendliness... more

The upstairs room is enormous, filled with antiques from... more
