Monthly Rentals in Monkwood

A perfect 48-hour escape from London! We couldn’t have found a better place for a quick countryside getaway. The Barn is the ideal spot to unwind and truly disconnect from city life—immaculate, beautifully curated, and full of thoughtful touches. Emma is a fantastic host, clearly passionate about creating a warm and welcoming space. We especially loved spending the evening outdoors with a BBQ, then getting cosy inside by the wood burner. The locally sourced jam and butter, plus fresh eggs from Emma’s own farm, were such a lovely bonus. We left feeling rested and recharged—already dreaming of coming back!

The cottage is in such a beautiful setting. I was able to walk through the fields to the Hangars in the early evening alongside the sheep and saw a deer, pheasants and a red kite! Teresa was very welcoming and the peaceful location was ideal for my attendance at a textile workshop in nearby Stroud. I was provided with all amenities required for my stay.

I had a lovely stay. The place is spacious, clean and comfortable, with big modern bathroom, large comfortable bed and beautiful garden outside. I would strongly recommend and I would definitely stay again in the Pod. Also, hosts were friendly and responsive.

Top place to stay -- quality accommodation, clean, comfortable, and looking out over the garden and beyond. Couldn't ask for better. It's a great location with local walks, and within striking distance of the South Downs. I needed to get in to London and found that worked well too. Lisa is an excellent host.
