TESTIMONIALS
"What a gem! We have just spent 5 nights at Cato's Barn and did not want to leave! There is a lovely feel to the barn; cosy, luxurious and so much space!! The hosts are so welcoming and cannot do enough for you. Communication was excellent and Jacob responded to all my emails quickly. The information offered about the area is the best I have seen and came in useful. The warm welcome from the hosts was genuine and much appreciated, they want you to love your stay! There was nothing we needed that we didn't have and the hosts have thought of everything. We definitely would recommend the wine tasting expereince, so enjoyable and entertaining and what a joy to walk through the vineyards. The view from the property is beautiful and to relax in the hot tub surrounded by rolling countryside is priceless!! Thank you Jacob and family, we will be booking again!"
Kathryn & Family
"We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Cato’s Barn and would recommend to anyone. With acres upon acres of rolling hills surrounding the barn, we were spoilt with breathtaking views of the sunset each night as we sat in the hot tub with full bellies from the barbecue! The hosts, Jacob, Alex, Mark and Sam, were an absolute treat. They made our stay so special and they’re easily some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet! We indulged in a wine tasting experience, offered by the James family at a very good price, and spent the night learning all about the history of England’s vineyards and how Broadfield came to be - a story well worth asking for!! The barn was spotless and had everything we needed, from the comfiest beds to a log burning fire with wood provided. We couldn’t have wished for anything more, we loved it and can’t thank the hosts enough. We will be returning soon!!"

"We had an incredible stay at Catos barn! The place is absolutely stunning, only matched by the location. The barn conversion is beautifully done with lots of light and space and a picture window to take in the incredible views. It really is away from it all and so peaceful. The hot tub is a bonus, under an old oak tree. We sat out in it and watched the stars and milky way with no light pollution. We had young kids and there was plenty of space for them to enjoy and they loved the hot tub. Really it's the people that make the place and from Jacob's excellent communication and Alex' incredible welcome, kids and all (she lives in the adjacent house with hubby and dog) which includes a wine tasting session by request (a must!) the hospitality was amazing. Thanks for a wonderful stay!"
Dave & Family
"Amazing place to stay. The photos don't do it justice - the rolling countryside in the morning is absolutely gorgeous. The beds were soooo comfy, kitchen clean and had everything we needed and more. The fireplace was gorgeous, we sat there all evening drinking cocktails and eating yummy food (we even forgot the cream for our dinner and the hosts were lovely enough to not mind us knocking on their door in the evening and giving us some!) Couldn't reccommend this place more. Spacious, stylish, clean and beautiful.."

"Perfect location for a group of 6 girlfriends for a 30th birthday. Jacob & his mum Alex were the most amazing hosts. The barn was extremely clean and tidy with lots of space to lounge which was important for us, along with a huge dining table which made great seating for our big roast dinner. Kitchen was exceptionally equipped with everything you need and more. Lovely big fridge & freezer. Beds were super comfy with great quality linen. Each bedroom had an en-suite and 2 toilets downstairs. We made good use of the hot tub which was lovely and toasty even in autumn. Thank you again so much, you made a special event even more special"

"Such wonderful hosts that went out of their way to make us feel at home. Really incredible views & the hot tub & garden are amazing. We had such a lovely stay at Catos barn with our two young children. We’ll definitely be back!"
Emma & Family
"Such a lovely accomodation in a beautiful location! The hosts made us feel so welcome and even gave us tips for walks, the nearest mtb park and Sunday lunch! We highly recommend a bottle of their own wine to have with dinner by the fire. We'll be back im sure!"
Sophie & Friends
"Alex and her family are the most beautiful family and hosts I’ve ever encountered. Their passion for the country lifestyle is evident in every part of the property. Days and nights in the hot tub taking in the million dollar views were topped off with leisurely walks through the farm vinyards and wine by the fireplace. The kitchen is superb, we loved taking our time to cook evening feasts and dining on the grand 14 seater table. Can guarantee that like us, you just won’t want to leave. We are already planning our next visit!"
Michaela & Friends
Cato’s Barn is an iconic AirBnB destination. Set in the idyllic countryside, everything from the vineyard to the hot tub screams understated luxury. We did the wine tasting with Alex - which we would absolutely recommend. Alex is warm and welcoming with a plethora of interesting stories. The barn was huge - so much bigger than anticipated with plenty of room to relax and unwind. In short, stop looking already and book this place!
Mya & Friends
Without a doubt the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in! The photographs do not do this place justice! We were a group of six, and we all felt that everything about Cato's Barn had been carefully considered for a 5 star luxurious stay. The location is beyond beautiful, and the hosts were wonderful and kind. We also did a wine tasting organised by the hosts, which we would all strongly recommend - it was the highlight of our trip!!! We will definitely be back!
Kate & Friends
Amazing stay! Cato’s barn is located on a beautiful farm in Herefordshire which must be seen to appreciate the true beauty. The barn itself is a really big space with a lovely garden area with hot tub, the hosts are on site and on call to answer any queries. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is thinking of staying here.
