My husband and I had a beautiful trip and we really enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the garden room and we love it. We had a very warm welcome from Jill and Brett. Brett came to pick us up from the train station and gave us a little tour to explain the orientation. When we arrived, Jill and Brett... More

Thank you Jill and Brett! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again! We stayed in the big room upstairs with its own bathroom. The room was very nice and full of character. The main house is very cosy and we felt like at home. As soon as we arrived we were invited for a glass of wine.... More

On our fourth visit to Byfield House, our expectations (not to mention our sense of anticipation) were higher than ever. I'm delighted to say that Jill and Brett exceeded them in every way possible. Our annual pilgrimage to this wonderful place has become a real highlight in our year, and from the moment you experience their famously warm welcome, this... More

I can't imagine that there could be a warmer welcome than that extended to us by Brett and Jill on New Year's Eve. Byfield house is magical - with its cosy attic room, a bulging fridge filled with treats that you never buy for yourself, portraits and rugs and piles of picture books. Nothing was too much trouble - we... More

I chose Byfield House after reading the reviews on Trip Adviser and was not dissapointed. It was better than expected. We had booked the attic room, but due to a cancellation we were given the garden room which was just beautiful. Loved the fact we had all our breakfast supplies and more in the kitchenette and could eat at our... More

We stayed here for a 'chill' after my husband was non playing captain of a bridge team in Oxford. We had the garden room and loved it! Luckily the weather was fine so we could use the seats in the garden and walk to Painswick beacon (well worth the walk as the views of the surrounding area are superb). We... More

My wife and I stayed in the garden room from 3-5 January. Everything that has been said is true so I won't repeat it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Brett was kind enough to drive us to the Stroud Railway Station. And Jill, we DO prefer the UK to France even though Paris and especially the trip up the Eiffel... More

We would agree with all the complimentary reviews written here. We had a lovely time at Byfield House, Jill and Brett are fantastic hosts, very warm and welcoming whilst at the same time giving us complete privacy. They are incredibly hospitable and provided much more than we would have expected from a b&b. Thank you Jill and Brett! More

We agree completely with previous reviews of Byfied House. It sounds hard to believe, but it is all true! It is a short drive from London and perfectly located for exploring the Cotswolds. The special thing about staying at Byfield is the warmth of the welcome and the unique ambience. The house is beautifully decorated with a multitude of treasures... More
