Beautiful cottage! Our family loved our stay here. The home is a short (and lovely) walk to the village. We enjoyed the open backyard and the house had everything we needed. The hosts were wonderful and made our stay one we will always cherish.

A lovely property in a great location. Bedrooms are comfortable and you virtually have everything that you need in the property. The kitchen would benefit from having a microwave and some hi-ball glasses. I was reluctant to use the oven as it looks like it needs a good clean. Cobwebs need cleaning from the skylight windows and the ensuite bathroom.

Wonderful cottage just up the hill from Bourton-on-the-Water
Lovely cottage. Exactly as listed. Part of the week was with friends, and there was plenty of space for all four of us. The other part was just us, and it was nice to spread out. Our senior dog was with us the entire time. He loved the garden. We used our car to get to Bourton-on-the-Water just because it was easier with the dog, but it is a 15-20 minute walk, not bad. Kitchen has all the essentials. Everything was lovely.
