Six adults and 7 children including a 2 year old stayed for 3 nights in July. Spacious accommodation with lots of towels, crockery, cooking utensils for all of us. Kitchen equipped with large fridge/freezer, wine fridge, and AGA cooker. High chair was provided and cot if needed. Had problem with water upstairs when the showers were being used continually but the men managed to reset one of the tanks in the garage and we waited til it filled up again (about 5 mins) and it righted itself. Another little niggle was that the numbers on one of the oven knobs were worn out and difficult to work out oven temperature. BBQ was provided and comfortable outside seating. Easy walking distance of Bourton. Plenty of parking for 4 cars. All in all enjoyed a relaxing weekend even with 7 children and would book again.

Amazing location in town. Easy booking and entry/arrival process. Beds not all made on arrival - swiftly rectified but couldn’t resolve old/poor/ unseeable mattresses. sofas old and too saggy Don’t look under the sofa/behind the furniture unless you collect dust and general detritus. Overall - wished the inside matched the outside.

We were a group of 13, stayed there for the long weekend at the end of May. Beautiful property located in a quiet neighbourhood. Walking distance from the high street, restaurants and cafes. Great host, left a basket of essentials for us. Highly recommend it.

Great location within a stone's throw of Bourton on the Water centre and useful to have 4 parking spots. Good sized rooms and very nicely furnished. Great to have 2 comfy sitting rooms which means those that wanted to watch the rugby didn't disturb the rest! Admin was all very clear except that it took us quite a while to find the keysafe as we didn't know it was in the garage. Kitchen was very slightly disappointing - not hugely well-equipped (nothing to serve with eg big spoons or ladels - although there were 3 rolling pins!) and could probably do with a deep clean. Some instructions for the range cooker would be helpful as some of the writing around the dials has worn away. 2 other very minor niggles - the main bathroom door could do with a lock (or at least be able to shut properly) and the step down to the main bedroom is quite deep and a bit of a risk for elderly (even those that can normally manage stairs). But this is just meant to be helpful feedback - overall, a really lovely place to stay and thank you!

Three generations of our family found this the perfect cottage for our weekend. Lots of space for the little ones to run around. Enough rooms to offer lots of flexibility for sleeping arrangements and for larger groups to have their own space. A few minutes walk to the centre of town with lots of restaurants and pubs and a very well stocked Coop.

Perfectly located to wander into Bourton on the Water. The house itself is lovely and was very clean. We stayed there with family and not everyone was happy with the beds - too low and soft - but appreciate that it’s difficult to get that right. On the whole it was a great stay and we had a lovely time.
