Quaint cottage in super location
We had a great stay at Forsythia Cottage in Bourton. The well appointed cottage provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay with the added bonus of a car space for our hire car and only a very short walk to the centre of town. In fact we didn’t use the car for the entirety of our stay. The renovated cottage provided all the comforts required whilst still enjoying the authentic experience of a 300 year old home. The courtyard garden was a bonus which we would no doubt have made better use of if the weather had been kinder. The only negative was the cottage being renovated next door with jackhammers and rubble being piled into skips - which was just bad timing on our behalf. Communication with our host Paul was great and the images of the cottage were very accurate. The internal steps are very steep as you might imagine but with care my 80 year old mother was able to navigate them. We would have no hesitation in recommending Forsythia Cottage for a great stay in Bourton-in-the-water.

Best location in Bourton!
What a delightful stay we had in this lovely Cotswold village - due to my phone issues there was a bit of an issue getting the key code but it was easily fixed by calling Bolthole offices. The unit is located on a side street, parallel to the main street and is two doors down from the Tourist Info office - they are a wealth of information for Bourton visitors! The kitchen was well stocked with pretty dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. The owners have done a great job in making this a true "home away from home". Good washer! We enjoyed 3 walks during our stay - the "trails" around the town are easily navigated and provide gorgeous views of the area. I hesitate to say how many times we went to the Cornish Bakery - but we loved everything they offered - both sweet and savory (beef and stilton pasties) Grocery shopping at the Coop was easy (we were able to eat in for several dinners and all of our breakfasts),lots of places to buy souvenirs and lovely woolen articles. Our favorite dinner was at Fish and Chips - really tasty fish, cooked perfectly and good "chips" - they also offer a great Gin and Tonic with a few juniper berries added. My only word of caution to possible renters - and I believe that they mention this in their guides - is the steepness of the steps going upstairs - please hold the handrails. (We are 72/74 year olds and in good health, but we took extra care on the steps.) We so enjoyed our visit to Bourton on the Water!

Bourton on the Water cottage
Cottage was superbly situated in the heart of Bourton with a very valuable parking space. It was extremely cosy & comfortable with a very peaceful garden out the back.

Excellent location with parking for one car in walking distance to all attractions in Bourton. Kitchen was very well equipped. Wi-fi excellent. If being very critical, the decor and some furnishings would benefit from modernisation/updating.

Perfect locale for a brief vacation
Forsythia Cottage is a quaint home, perfectly located for visiting Bourton-on-the-Water and seeing the Cotswolds. Located right in town so everything is within a couple of minutes. Also private parking is a nice win as parking in town can be hard to find during the day. We found the downstairs sitting area a great place to relax and watch TV after a day of exploring. The breakfast area and kitchen were great for our needs. The stairwell and upstairs reflect the age of the home -- a bit tricky to navigate and the floors are uneven. We found it added some charm but might be difficult for those with mobility issues. Kitchen is well stock and the property guide has a lot of information about not just the property but surrounding area. Bourton and this cottage are both a great place to stay.
