The check in time at 5pm seemed late for an arrival time. For a short stay this made quite a difference. Parking also was interesting but overall a super location and good stay

This cottage has some quaint character and is in a very central location and that is probably the best thing to say about it. The cottage interior and its contents are tired. Water leaked through the ceiling from the shower and has obviously done so for a long time judging by the state of the plaster. The electrics had either no or dead batteries and exposed wires in cables, which had all been reported previously in the guest book. The crockery was mis matched and chipped, cracked glasses in the cupboard - which at least the previous guests had left out to be sorted but found there way back into the cupboard. The double bed was far from comfortable. The hoover cartridge was so rammed with dirt it wouldn’t pick up when we tried to use it. The information book was full of irrelevant and scribbled on information and yet the information we required was not in it, no spare bin bags and no information on where to dispose of the rubbish. Dishwasher mentioned in the book and tablets in the cupboard but no dishwasher. The ornaments are dated and feel like unwanted leftovers that don’t match anywhere else. Attention also needs to be given to the cleaning, the carpets were dirty and cobwebs across the numerous fake flowers and windows. And lastly no welcome pack as described no milk or cake

We had a very pleasant stay at Lavender Cottage. It's a cozy little cottage that has an excellent location right in the heart of the village of Bourton-on-the-Water, which has plenty to do in it. You are in walking distance to everything in town. The cottage is tucked away behind another cottage, so it was a little tricky to find at first, but the check-in instructions are clear. There's a lovely garden, well-equipped kitchen and overall historic vibe to the place. We had plenty of space as a couple staying there (although we didn't spend loads of time in the cottage during the day because we were out exploring) but I could see space being tight if there were two couples sharing. You should park in the town lot, it's a very short/easy walk along the river. Overall, fantastic experience and would re-book. Happy out!

This gem of a location was absolutely perfect to enjoy the Cotswolds. Even if you didn’t have a vehicle this is a great place to stay. Lots of walkable areas. Pubs 3 min walk away (our fav was Kingsbridge). Tons of quaint little shops. The cottage is set up for a lovely stay.

We had a wonderful weekend at lavender cottage. Everything was spotlessly clean on our arrival. The bedrooms were cosy and comfortable. Location is fantastic, just next to the river, quiet and peaceful. I will add if you’re coming with children to be aware the top floor room opens to steep stairs but our 5 year old managed fine! We look forward to staying again in the future.

In a very good location, and very cute! Parking could be tricky if you didn’t get lucky, but not a problem on our trip. Definitely on the smaller side, but for a couple of close friends it was really lovely!

Overall it was very good. Parking was difficult but we were warned about this issue. It is a very small cottage and this is fine if you intend on going out most of the time. Otherwise it is tiny and the stairs are not easy. A good roomy kitchen however. The tv proved a problem until I found out there were no batteries in the remote control. Presumably the previous residents had taken them! What plonkers! We called the helpline and the cleaning lady (and her mother) were so helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed out stay. The place was as expected, homey and comfortable.
