Mar 4, 2024 #### Kimkeri The Place To Stay Four generations of our family spent a week at this lovely house. Communal areas on ground floor were ideal for family life. Two supersized televisions and large dining table provided great spots for the family to gather. Kitchen was extremely well fitted out. All bedrooms had comfy beds and adequate storage. Rear garden was large and had the weather been warmer would have been ideal area to relax in. House is in an ideal spot to access the village. ##### Dawn R. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Sep 18, 2023 #### Excellent location to village The property was ideally located for access to the village which had plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as a small but well stocked supermarket. The property had an enclosed garden which is ideal for dogs. Nicely furnished with all the required amenities. Two bathrooms both had showers but no bath. Downstairs toilet very useful. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Aug 30, 2023 #### Nice week in the Cotswolds Had a great week at the house. Lots of outdoor time. The garden was perfect for the dog. The Gardner came the week we were there but I think it’s needs more upkeep, looking a bit scruffy. The recycle bin was overflowing, as I presume it’s picked up on alternate weeks. The house was great for summer and easy to get into town.

Apr 20, 2024 #### Great place for my family What a perfect place, in a perfect location, in a gorgeous part of the Cotswolds! Kimkeri was a lovely cottage and so spacious! 3 really good size bedrooms, 3 sitting areas! There was only my husband and I, and our 2 year old but we would have easily had another 2 adults comfortably stay with us. Very comfortable beds and the kitchen was really well equipped. Bourton on the water was wonderful and it was less than. 5 mins walk from Kimkeri to the centre of Bourton. The bonus was the 3 parking spaces and playground at the end of the road! We would definitely stay here again when we’re back in the Cotswolds. ##### Beth D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie H. Aug 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A perfect home and location for our Cotswolds adventures We stayed for two weeks at Kimkeri and we don’t think we could have found a better situation for our needs. The location to Bourton on the Water and the bus line were ideal for mornings and evenings in the village, and a bus line for our many day trips. The home had three snugs which allowed us to spread out and have time alone as well as together. The backyard was where we spent most morning and evenings, enjoying the gardens, the apple tree, the birds. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen suited our needs. We would highly recommend Kimkeri to anyone. We loved coming home to Kimkeri after our days adventures. Thank you for the opportunity to stay here! ##### Laurie H.

It is very spacious with ample room for 6 people, ideal for a longer stay. Arrival and departure times could be improved by adding an hour each end to make it more comfortable. Email contact did not work but phone was answered immediately and issue resolved promptly. Would happily return. ##### Christa M.

Customer Service was very responsive. Some lovely touches and extras in the house but some basics missing (Dishcloth, Washing up bowl, Cheese Grater, Measuring Jug, bin bags) which one would expect for the price. Assured these will be replaced via a text by return so I have no doubt that they will. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna C. Sep 2, 2023 #### A relaxing haven in beautiful Bourton What a treat! We stayed with our two children and grandparents. Beds are huge and comfy. Plentiful blankets. Huge fluffy towels. Everything you could want in the kitchen. Thoughtful extras in condiments and toiletries. Massive TV screen, big fridge... the owners are very generous and it makes the house feel like home from home. Kids loved being so close to a good playground, we loved the garden furniture, church bells and easy walks onto the village and fields beyond. We also worked from home whilst grandparents looked after the kids and found WiFi speeds good with 2 of us working. Definitely a place we will return to. ##### Anna C.

Jun 24, 2024 #### Great location, especially for families with small kids and those wanting to explore the Cotswolds. We stayed at Kimkeri for 6 nights. From there, we had access to Chipping Camden, Bibury, Stratford Upon Avon, Stonehenge, and more, within easy driving distance. The house sits a short walk away to a playground that our two boys (8, 5) absolutely adored, especially the zipline! Mousetrap Inn is a 1 minute walk (kids loved the Eton Mess!), Bakery on the Water is 3-5 minute walk (fabulous pastries, coffee and more), and several other restaurants that we truly enjoyed. Perhaps the best of them was the Old New Mill at the opposite end of town, easily worth the 10 minute walk especially if you can sit on the back patio on a blue sky day. Bourton’s “high street” is unquestionably charming, but best enjoyed before 9 am. During the day it’s overrun with day trippers hovering along the river and swelling the adjacent shops and restaurants— none of which we found to be “can’t miss” (save for the Corswold Bakery and a few ice cream spots). The house itself had 3 generously sized bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (2 showers), and a very functional first floor layout. We repeatedly struggled to figure out how to use the combo washer-dryer (hit or miss as to whether our clothes would come out dry), but perhaps that’s because Americans are so unfamiliar with the combo equipment. We did try everything! The patio door is sneaky hard to figure out how to lock. With a few handle jiggles and several full key turns it eventually latches, but it isn’t intuitive. Otherwise, no complaints whatsoever. We had a wonderful trip and would recommend Kimkeri without reservation to anyone wanting to enjoy Bourton and the best of the surrounding Cotswolds. ##### Jeremy J.

Sep 17, 2025 #### Great Location and lovely house The house is situated very near to the centre of Bourton on the Water, but far enough away as to not be disturbed by the tourists. Bourton on the Water has really lovely cafes, pubs and supermarket (open until 10pm) and other shops. We went in September and it was comfortable to walk around the town. The house is lovely and clean and the welcome pack was much appreciated. There are few areas that could be improved slightly but not anything that would disappoint your stay. Great to find a 3 bedroom (all rooms are a lovely size, along with the comfy beds), 2 bathrooms and 3 car parking spaces - ideal for 3 couples to stay and one dog! Great location for visiting other areas in the Cotswolds as well. ##### Annette M. ### 6/10 Okay #### Bruce Jun 7, 2025 House is nice, but a little tied. ##### Bruce Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Jul 9, 2025 #### Great location, comfortable house. Nice house in a wonderful location, easy walk into Bourton with a park right next door which was enjoyed by the grandkids. House is well equipped if a little tired inside, kitchen could benefit from an upgrade. One thing missing was a stair gate which would have been useful when visiting with a 1 year old! Bedrooms are a lovely size and the beds comfortable. The garden is lovely and well maintained. Plenty of parking at rear which was great. We did return on the Sunday to an unfamiliar car on the drive, on questioning them on their return they had parked there to visit Bourton as they believed they could as it didn’t say ‘Private’ ! Overall a nice house to stay in. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Gail N. Oct 22, 2025 #### Lovely property but issues with drainage were not dealt with I would have loved to have been able to give a great review. The house is in the most perfect location, well presented and with all the home comforts that you could possibly need. On arrival the house was clean but there was a smell of drains which appeared to be coming from the kitchen sink. Overnight the downstairs toilet blocked and the top floor hot tap broke. We reported this first thing Saturday morning and got a text to say they were busy with another problem. I chased things again in the afternoon and returned to be informed the tap was fixable but they were trying to get a drain company to look at the drainage issues. We heard nothing more from anyone from this point on and were left to sort the issue as best we could. We avoided using the kitchen except to make drinks. We felt very let down with the support offered. At the very least some further contact would have been appreciated just to see how things were or an offer of some bleach (we purchased some ourselves). ##### Gail N. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Linda O. Jul 14, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Very disappointing The property was not as described and had numerous faults. The freezer in the fridge was frozen over, their was mould above and in the shower, the shelf in the kitchen and above the floor in the living room was peeling, and there was a terrible smell in the kitchen. The ,location was excellent but this could do with a good deep clean and touching up peeling paint work ##### Linda O.

Sep 1, 2025 #### Great Location in comfortable house Nice property only 2-3 minutes walk from shops and restaurants in Bourton-on-the-Water. Great to have parking for three cars at the back of the property and the garden was a wonderful size and a quiet haven to sit in away from the busy bustle of Bourton-on-the-Water. Fully enclosed for our two dogs. Bedrooms were all a good size and the beds very comfy. Large kitchen with plenty of worktop space. We spent most of our time in the kitchen/diner/snug area at the back of the house which could have benefitted from having more comfortable seating near the TV. Kitchen is a little dated and although there was a file full of instructions for the appliances we couldn't find one for the cooker but perhaps we just missed it. We felt that on the whole it was a nice property in a great location but under the surface there were a few things that could be improved. We did use the front door on occasion which on the outside was full of cobwebs and needed a good clean. There were no window keys for the windows in the dining area and you couldn't open the skylight. So, if you didn't want to keep the patio doors open then the only window available to open was the one in the kitchen which when it was hot was insufficient and inconvenient if you didn't want to let the dogs in the garden. Welcome pack adequate but not up to the standard that we have found left in other properties. We would certainly recommend the property as there is plenty of room for six adults and a wonderful location for exploring the Cotswolds. ##### Mandy B.
