Everything was well thought out and check-in instructions were clear and simple. It was great to have the village only a stones throw away, yet it was extremely quiet during our stay, even when it was pouring down with rain. Although we had to get some bits for the fire, it was handy to have a shop nearby to get it. Wi-Fi isn’t particularly strong but was fine to get by. ##### Jonathan Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie A.

The village is a lovely spot with lots of choices to eat and drink while enjoying the beauty of the river. The cottage itself has everything that you could want and need, it is a very well designed and well equipped small space. You couldn't ask for anything more if you are looking to enjoy a stay in the Cotswolds. We would highly recommend a visit and would love to go back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Brigitte F. Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute Excellent location for exploring the Cotswolds. Cottage is set back off the main high street and very quiet. It is very small but was fine for the two of us and our dog. If I’m really honest I feel you would be pushed to have more than 2 adults staying or anyone with poor mobility as the stairs are very steep. The property was clean, comfortable bed but personally I feel it needs a bit of tlc in regard to the misted windows and soft furnishings. However, we had a fabulous time and communication with the owner was superb. ##### Brigitte F. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave M.

Everything was available within a short walk from the cottage. It served as a great base from which to explore other nearby villages and attractions, some even within walking distance using the trail whose access was literally behind the cottage. The host was very responsive to the very few questions we had. Luckily it was also cool enough to take advantage of the wonderful wood burner. All in all, we're real happy with how everything went! ##### Dave M. Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick S.

It also provides you with a great example of what’s like to live in a grade 2 property (e.g., narrow challenging stairs). Location was also spectacular being right in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water. I highly recommend this property for anyone wishing to experience the Cotswolds. ##### Rick S.

You can hear the bells from the church which adds to the overall atmosphere. Peter is an excellent host, and very prompt to respond to any queries. The welcoming bottle of milk and wine was appreciated after a long day of travel. Would definitely stay again if we ever have the opportunity. ##### Joe W.

The cottage was just perfect & beautiful inside, we arrived late in the evening and opening the door to a warm & cosy cottage was heaven. It has all you'd need for your stay, fully equipped kitchen. The bed was so comfortable and luxury bathroom towels, truly no need to take anything. We loved the real fire and delighted lighting it at the end of each day. It's the perfect location for walking or sightseeing at the Cotswolds. We saw lovely villages on our trips out and of course, the purpose for our weekend a meal at The Farmers Dog & a visit to the Hawkstone brewery. Our only feedback comments: no tea towells but we're sure just an oversight and wasn't an issue as we didn't eat in once. A neighbour had also parked in our spot at the cottage, but when when we knocked and explained, they were very kind and moved immediately, not a problem. Thank you for your hospitality Peter. We'd definitely book again. ##### Hilary W. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anita B.
