The house is in an excellent location within easy walking distance to the centre. The space both inside and out was ideal for the six of us. Each couple had a double bedroom with their own bathroom. Beds were very comfy as was the outside seating but we all felt the lounge seating was not comfy at all. The lower rating for the condition of the property is because we felt it looked tired in places.

Great location for Bourton. Super social kitchen/family space. The house was very well equipped. Great service from Bolthole Retreats. We would visit again and use Bolthole Retreats again.

Beautiful house in a wonderful location. Few cobwebs within the house gave impression of not adequate cleaning but that was the only flaw. Very comfortable. We had an issue with the cooker but replaced quickly with minimum fuss even when the weather was bad due to snow. Would suggest a set of drawers in master bedroom. Beautiful house wonderful stay thoroughly enjoyable.

Stayed here for 1 week as daughter getting married. There was 7 of us staying at Southwinds and it was very spacious and roomy with a large kitchen /diner with table set for 8 Bedrooms were nicely decorated and clean Large garden with patio furniture Spent most of our evenings sat outside as the weather was fine Lovely Welcome pack too in the kitchen Enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return

Enjoyed staying here for a second time with family. Garden great for relaxing in the sun. Loads to do within walking distance or a short drive inc lovely restaurants.

We wanted a midweek break in May and this was a great choice. The house has plenty of room and everything you need, including plenty of parking and 2 TVs. The ground floor bedroom with en-suite was great for elderly or infirm (just one small step down from the bathroom) and the patio area was a real sun trap. On the edge of the village there were walks from the front door, but still only a stroll into town.

This house was a perfect size for us to prepare for my daughters wedding particularly with 3 bathrooms. It is spacious and so well equipped that it made celebrating and entertaining with family effortless. It is ideally suited for exploring the Cotswolds and very convenient for Hyde House wedding venue.

We stayed in Bourton-on-the-Water in April 2022. Southwinds was well presented and comfortable base for our activities.

We chose to visit the Cotswolds for my 30th and after checking which large houses were available to accommodate us all settled on South Winds in Bourton-On-The-Water. The Meet & Greet wasn't available on our arrival date but this was fine as everything was explained in a quick phone call ahead of time and we were able to let ourselves in with the key box. The house was a good size for the number of guests, and was decorated tastefully throughout. Each bedroom, even the single room, was a decent size and everyone commented on how comfortable the bedding was. The dining area was so lovely that we found ourselves congregating there rather than in the family rooms and the kitchen was a good size to accommodate multiple chefs at once and was stocked with essentials like washing up liquid, kitchen foil, cooking oil etc. as well as a full-size fridge, oven, hob and dishwasher perfect for a large group. The garden was also a good size and would been great for kids, the garden furniture and bbq looked nice, though it was too cold for us to use during our stay. Overall we had a lovely stay and would happily come back again in the future

We had a lovely stay in Bourton- on-the-Water with a catered dinner for 6 plus baby which went well.

Great cottage in a great place! We enjoyed ourselves immensely. The cottage was completely decorated for Christmas which our two little boys loved. It is cozy and everything you need is present. Thanks Bolthole, we'd love to come back!

A beautiful property in a fabulous location. Property was very well equipped, beds were really comfy and 10min walk into Bourton.

All was really good. We had a lovely time despite poor weather. The accommodation was excellent. It suited all ages.

A lovely family weekend break for 3 generations. South Winds is easy walking distance from the village and has ample parking making it an ideal location for a Cotswold break. The house is pleasant and quite well equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the furnishings are in good condition. Not a cheap rental house but is recommended if you are looking for convenient village comfort.

South Winds is a beautiful 4 bedroom cottage with all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay. The massive kitchen diner with large kitchen table was especially impressive. My family of 6 adults and a toddler had lots of quality time around the very large kitchen table. The garden is lovely and safe for children to play. Our grandson had lots of fun playing football. There is comfortable outside seating with a table. We had a couple of BBQ nights which was good fun. The location of the house is perfect as it’s within easy walking distance to the main village area but away enough to feel very peaceful. Bolthole Retreats had excellent communication, always replied to any queries I had prior to departure swiftly and all the necessary information in regards to check in/departure etc was given in ample time. There is also a very good information booklet at the cottage itself. Had a wonderful stay.

Spacious and well appointed villa. Very clean and very modern interior. Not the most comfortable living room furniture but, hey, it’s the Cotswolds - you’re not going to be sitting inside very much.. Plenty of back garden for kids to play in and adults can easily be accommodated around the comfortable garden furniture. A most enjoyable stay in the finest of Cotswold villages..

We all had a great time, the property was lovely with everything catered for. However some routine maintenance is required such as the patio area could have been cleaned more regularly, the parasol & cushions could do with a clean. Internally the kitchen would benefit from atrium / window blinds as extremely hot in that room. Minor issue the remote control for the dvd had no batteries. Overall we all had a great stay & would definitely stay there again. Thank you

Unfortunately, the UK's ongoing pandemic restrictions (even for fully vaccinated travelers) made it impossible to go to the UK this year. Some other time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at South Winds. The cottage is spacious and very comfortable, perfect for our party of 4 adults and 2 children. The well equipped kitchen/dining area was really lovely with patio doors opening out onto the rear garden - we were lucky to have gorgeous weather and the sun was on the garden all day long. The cottage's location is within a quiet residential cul-de-sac which was very peaceful, but it is only a 15 minute walk into the bustling, beautiful village of Bourton-on-the-water. We were pleased that we did not have to worry about finding a car parking space in the village, with car parks being very full on a busy Bank Holiday weekend. Special thanks to James on the Management Team who was extremely courteous and helpful when we stupidly locked ourselves out of the cottage one evening.

Beautiful property & location

We booked this house based on the beautiful photos and the good reviews but were a bit disappointed ourselves. It's located almost next to a large road. The bedroom in the ground floor looks out onto the parking lot. The interior is very basic, with everything missing that would make it a bit more cosy (nice light, curtains, etc.). The beds are incredibly small so that all of the adults slept horribly every night. On the positive side, the kitchen is very well equipped and there is a folder with excellent information about the area. There is a beautiful walk to some nearby lakes and rivers (which we found ourselves, though, it was not in the folder). I have stayed in much more beautiful Cotswolds houses than this one.

Especially now with the coronavirus, where hygiene is paramount, the clones of the house was very poor

Excellent property in a great location

We stayed in South Winds for 3 nights in December and were very comfortable and warm. The kitchen area is fantastic and well equipped. It is conveniently located without being in an area that is too busy and crowded. My only small criticism was that the meet and greet service were unable to meet and greet us!

We booked Southwinds for a few days before our wedding and the house was amazing. Perfect location in a lovely village. Will defiantly be returning.

Very helpful personnel. Excellant location and very comfortable property. Very satisfied.

The house is a mere 11 minutes walk into Bourton On The Water so ideally located. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen diner area is the main hub as it is so bright and airy. The views over the rear are lovely and open. It was a lovely quick stay.

Fabulous place in a fantastic location. Warm, cozy, well equipped, beautifully decorated...there aren’t enough great adjectives to describe this gem. We felt it was one of the highlights of our trip. Close to town, near everything, we only wished we had differed our plans to stay longer.

South Winds is a beautiful cottage in a great location, providing essentials such as a BBQ, TV, a fabulous kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. It was clean and tidy, and the company we booked with were very helpful and accommodating to ours needs. There were a few issues, however, such as one back door and several windows not opening. They were apparently 'still' broken. It got incredibly hot and made it difficult to cool down. There wasn't enough bin bags or toilet roll provided either.

Great stay, the house is stunning and perfect place as a bridal cottage for my wedding. Lots of natural light. The team were lovely and let us check in a bit earlier plus left us a gorgeous chocolate cake as a present!

Great home comforts, plenty of space for six/seven people. Everything to a high spec. Location ideal for pubs/restaurants and walks, without being in the middle of tourist hot spots.

We stayed at South Winds for the Festival and enjoyed it immensely. Everything about the house was fantastic, the cleanliness, the facilities, the aspect and most of all the comfort. I normally judge a rental by the quality of it’s cutlery and it was up there with the best. Would love to go back in warmer weather for some walking in the area followed by a barbecue in the garden.
