Since moving to England, my travel dreams have been to 1) visit the Cotswolds, 2) stay in a majestic old home, and 3) enjoy the countryside. Staying at Middle Gable has allowed me to check all three of those things off my list. Middle Gable is situated right off the main tourist road of Bourton-on-the-Water and couldn't be more perfect. It is exactly what the Cotswolds of my imagination looked like; a gorgeous old home with a beautifully maintained garden. The house was probably bigger than what my small family of three needed, but once I saw the giant four-poster bed in the master bedroom, I knew I had to stay there. We felt like royalty! The whole house is charming and I loved it. Even the neighbors were friendly and came out to chat while we were in the garden. If traveling with a small child like we did, our little girl is 18 months, be aware that there are knick-knacks within arms reach. Other than that, I can fully recommend this to anyone looking for a great place in a great village. Cate was a gracious host who was available whenever we needed to talk to her. This home was well appointed, well furnished, and well maintained.

This is a beautiful property and was exactly as described online. It is right in the village of Bourton-on-the-Water so it is easy to walk to places in the village, but just enough off the High Street that it is not in the middle of all the tourists. My only real concern with the booking was not being able to get the check in instructions via email. I had to call the property owner while I was already on my trip and get a lot of very specific, detailed information over the phone. I felt that info, as well as the code to open the key box should have been sent to me in an email a few days prior to my check in. Other than that, I loved this property and enjoyed my stay there.

Me & some friends had a wonderful stay at Middle Gable. Cat was helpful in ensuring we got checked-in OK and the neighbours were friendly. Even with five of us, the house was spacious and charming, to fit the vibe of the lovely Cotswolds town that you're almost in the middle of. A wonderful stay & a great place that we'd recommend.
