    Beautiful cottage, brilliant location, all round great stay

    The photos of this cottage do not do it justice - it is comfortable, spacious, well laid out, decent sized rooms and is brilliantly located close to the centre of town and round the corner from a supermarket. I wish our stay here had been longer, it was really just so lovely. Highly highly recommend!

    Lovely cottage and great location

    The cottage was only a few minutes walk away from the heart of the beautiful village and was a perfect “home away from home” after travelling around Europe for several weeks. Cooking some home cooked meals and catching up on some laundry was well needed and well catered for and very central to all the area has to offer from a tourist perspective. I highly recommend!

    After nearly 4 weeks in hotel rooms this cottage was a very welcome change. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Friends came to join us from Cambridge & they were impressed with the cottage. It has absolutely everything you need & loved being such a short walk to the village. My 85 year old mum was thrilled with the tulips as we don’t grow them in North Island NZ!! We will be back, thank you :)

    Awesome location and great place.

    Wonderful spot to spend a holiday. This didn't affect us but if you are tall the bedrooms may be a little difficult to get around just as a heads up.

    Location to downtown Bourton was in walking distance

    The only negative about location was views to car park and coop store was in back of house. It was noisy with ppl parking and using ATM at coop during the day and night and no 1/2 bathroom on 1st floor.

    Great stay!

    A friend and I were looking for a quiet get away to catch up after a long time. The cottage was perfect. Set back from the road it was quiet, but within a couple of minutes of all the town amenities. Everything was very well appointed and access to both a front and back courtyard meant we could sit outside anytime of day. Great base to explore from and also to relax in!

    Beautiful cottage in an excellent location

    We had an excellent stay at this beautiful cottage. The location couldn’t have been any better and was a very short walk in to the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water. The property was spotlessly clean on arrival and the owners had put milk in the fridge & a packet of cookies which was a nice welcome touch. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking to stay in Bourton-on-the-Water and we will be looking to return in the future. Thank you to the owners for wonderful stay.
