Perfect place in the Cotswolds

We absolutely loved staying at Lavender Barn East. It was the PERFECT place to explore several Cotswolds villages, and we especially loved walking 2 minutes into Bourton-on-the -Water every morning and evening. The home was immaculately clean, just as pictured, and our hosts were lovely and prompt in replying when we had questions. The milk and cookies they left out for us, as well as the gorgeous bouquet of flowers that greeted us from the kitchen table were over and above- we felt truly welcomed. My husband and I, in our 50s, brought our two 20 yr old nieces with us, and the four of us spent a lovely 5 days exploring the area from this perfectly comfortable home. We drove to Broadway, Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-Marsh, and every day we spent our mornings and evenings in the lovely village of Bourton-on-the-Water. We also had a delicious “Sunday Roast” at a restaurant in Bourton-on-the-Water; everything in the village of Bourton-on-the-Water was walking distance from the beautiful Lavender Barn East, where we stayed. When we return to the Cotswolds in the future, we will most definitely stay here again- it was lovely, it was our favorite Cotswolds village, and it is the perfect place to explore several other villages. Thank you so much to our hosts; we hope to come back one day.

Lovely Home in Perfect Location

This lovely home is perfectly located in walking distance to the town center and right next to a wonderful grocery store. It has all the amenities needed for a family or friends who want to cook, make coffee or do laundry. The washing machine and dryer are fantastic and the host provides detergent. So nice to have a microwave and dishwasher as well. Love the outdoor seating area which is private.

The property was very well located and comfortable. The main bedroom should have a shower over the bath. The bath is somewhat difficult to get in and out of particularly for older people.

3 night stay

Great location. Loved that we had 2 1/2 baths for the two of us! Slanted roof a little troublesome for my 6’3” husband but we knew that going in. I would definitely refer this Vrbo to others. Only complaint: bed a little short for tall people and magazines need to be updated from 2022. Suggestion: instructions for recycling. I felt guilty throwing away things that I know can be recycled. Also, internet was good the first night but very weak after that.

Bourton on the water

Two years ago stayed at West Lavender cottage and this time stayed at East Lavender cottage. Both provide lovely clean accommodation with all the equipment you need for a restful stay. It is just a very short walk from the main street in Bourton and very convenient for visiting many places in the Cotswolds.

Excellent property in the heart of the village

We had a lovely short break in this property. It had everything we needed and the location was brilliant. Comfy, clean and well equipped, there was even a Christmas tree which was a nice touch! Despite the freezing temperatures outside, the house was lovely and warm and the welcome flowers and cookies were much appreciated. I would definitely recommend this property.

Had a great time here. The highlights were 2 of the suggested walks from the Information Centre. The cottage was very comfortable and close to town. The key safe was difficult to open but that was the only negative thing. Overall it was excellent.

If you want a relaxing stay and have not been to Bourton on the water . Put it on your bucket list . Lavender barn east had everything we needed for a restful break a short walk to a beautiful village with plenty of lovely shops and check out the motor museum and bird world . Our accommodation was extremely clean and tidy and our hosts were very helpful with any requirements. I don’t think we could have asked for anything else to make our stay better . Thank you and we will return as we love the Cotswolds.
