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 :)

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.

Perfect little place in the heart of the town

This place was so much nicer than the photos. We are a family of 4 (kids aged 14 & 17), and we all loved it. If you had kids much older (and taller!) the single beds may be a bit small for them, and we had a double which was ok as we are not huge 😉…however it was perfect. A bathroom each, one with a shower and one with a bath. Extremely clean and welcoming, there is a little sun trap at the back for when you fancy eating your breakfast outside in the sun and a lovely small seating area at the front for the afternoon and evening sun. There are two parking spaces and a very useful Co-op behind the barn. It took us about 5 minutes to walk into the centre of the village which was ideal for coming and going as you please. The only thing I would ask for is a small mirror by the front door downstairs - just to check that we don’t have biscuit crumbs around our mouths before we leave for the day 🍪 😁 but that is hardly a deal breaker!! All in all, a perfect stay and we would love to come back and visit again soon. We shall also be recommending it to all our friends! Thank you. ⭐️

We stayed in the West cottage for a long weekend. It's in an ideal location to explore Bourton-on-the-water on foot, and to travel to other areas nearby. Parking on site was good, and the cottage itself was lovely with all we needed.

Enjoyed our stay

We found the property with the clear instructions we were given. The property layout was very nice and just the right size for 3 adults. we were in a very good location, near to the shops, but also out of the hustle and bustle of tourists visiting Bourton. We enjoyed a walk to the beautiful Slaughters despite the horrendous weather. The people were very friendly and welcoming. Covid measures were in place in all places we visited. We would definitely like to return and stay here again.
