Lovely stay!

We enjoyed our long weekend stay at Bury Fields. Great power shower, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and good location, near the town but in the countryside. Would recommend bringing some coat hangers with you as mentioned in a few previous reviews but this is a very minor point. Overall a lovely stay, thank you.

Well equipped, comfortable and homely, with everything you might need for a break away. In beautiful countryside with excellent walks straight from the door, whilst only 5 minutes or so walk to the village. We definitely hope to return some time.

Great stay in the Cotawold

Great space and location. Hosts had great information for the area. We were just 2 but would be great for two couples. So quiet, right on walking paths to Bourton on the water (less than 10 minutes), and into the country. Would stay there again.

The cottage is very nice and has all you need for a pleasant stay. In case you need something and/or want some ideas what to do/where to go, Tichy ( Patricia) and Richard are ready to help. But the best thing about this cottage is it's LOCATION : starting from the cottage you can start kicking, cycling and you can visit a lot of little beautifull little towns, castles/mannors, gardens, ... after only a 30 min. drive. Oxford, Blenheim, the birthplace of Shakespeare, ... are within a 60 min. drive. We really loved the Cotswolds. PS: It is correct what you read about Burton-on-the-water : it is by far too touristic, unless you visit it before 10:00 AM. But if you walk/cycle just for 5 minutes from it's "city center" you have the country side, the little beautiful villages, ... for your own.

Had a super stay, all the home from home comforts provided and a thoughtful welcome gift of cheese, biscuits, milk and a cupboard full of tea and coffee. Great location for walking into the town to enjoy the shops, cafes and pubs. Lots of information provided in the house about local walks and activities.

A Peaceful Haven In The Cotswolds

What a beautiful cottage in the Cotswolds. Complete with a loft to view the fields this cottage has it all. Well stocked and spacious with ample crockery, glasses, board games and more. A lovely 10 minute walk takes you to the village along a beautiful little lane way that passes a churchyard and peaceful cemetery.Richard was more than accomodating and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did!)WiFi was good and beds were warm and comfortable. Outside area was perfect for afternoon drinks and listening to the birds. Also a lot of amazing history to the farm which is worth reading about.Highly recommend this lovely cottage retreat for long or short stays. We'll definitely be back again as a place to wind down and relax.We only wished we had stayed longer!Thank you Richard and Tishy

great place to stay

We had a glorious week staying here in July the weather was perfect for us . The facilities at the house are excellent and everything we needed was there in the house. Short walk into Bourton but far enough away to leave all the crowds behind to return to the absolute peace and quiet of the house. Nice seating area outside to relax at the end of a day. We had a dog and there are so many lovely walks you can do from the doorstep without getting in the car. We loved it .

Excellent host and property

We stayed for 5 nights - Pros: very pleasant contact with host several times, very comfy beds, clean crisp linens, very nice fully equipped kitchen, wonderful water pressure/hot & cold water, surprise welcoming gift of white wine, crackers & the most delicious local Brie. Cons: no closets to hang closet only a bar on wall with 3-4 hangers, need one more fan due to no air conditioning. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay and would definitely recommend this property. It felt like home and would stay there again. . Thank you.

Relaxing Cotswold break

Stayed here with my wife and our 2 border terriers. Absolutely loved the property, which was really well equipped and perfectly located. We found the area to be very peaceful and relaxing, with some truly stunning countryside views. Eating out was a breeze too, as it was only a short walk in to town where there were plenty of tasty restaurants to choose from (all dog friendly). Great selection of nearby picturesque dog walking routes, to keep the pups happy during the day and tired out in the evening. We found the hosts to be very friendly and helpful. What can I say. We really loved this place and will definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay.
