Murray's Cottage - sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms

Perched on the edge of Clapton-on-the-Hill, Murray's Cottage enjoys one of the most breathtaking outlooks in the Cotswolds. This elevated hamlet, just three miles from ever-popular Bourton-on-the-Water, offers sweeping views across the Windrush Valley that are captivating in every season.

Inside, the cottage unfolds with a soft, timeless charm: chalky tones, warm woods, and exposed beams combine with contemporary comforts to create a home that feels both grounded and uplifting. The heart of the home is the elegant kitchen and dining area, where windows frame the views beyond and create a seamless connection to the outdoors. A sitting room with a wood-burning stove and window seats offers a warm and inviting space to unwind, while the bedrooms, three in total, are cocooned in calming tones with a mix of vintage accents and fresh linens that echo the natural setting. The master bedroom is a particular delight, with a private balcony where uninterrupted views of rolling green hills stretch as far as the eye can see.

Outside, the terrace garden is nothing short of enchanting. Facing south and bordered by countryside, this spot is ideal for long lunches or a slow morning coffee with only birdsong for company. This is a garden made for golden evenings and starlit suppers. With private parking and scenic footpaths straight from the gate, Murray's Cottage makes the most of its idyllic location both inside and out.

It's a space designed for unwinding whether you're watching a film, playing cards, or simply soaking up the cottage calm.

Lovely stay

This was a nice clean, quiet cottage and we had a lovely stay. However, there were a few things that could be improved upon. The cottage generally was quite sparse with only the bare necessities left for us. I would recommend you provide the following to make guests' stays more enjoyable: - oil for cooking - coffee maker / cafetiere - cheese grater - more than 2 rolls of toilet paper - soap / shampoo / bubble bath/salts - ice tray
