Excellent sizeable house. However it lacks attention to detail i.e. very uncomfortable setee, poor TV signal, wobbly toilet seat, windows need cleaning, back gate bolt does not fit. Attend to these and you would have had a 5\* star rating ##### Frank N. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte George G.

So couldn't use it. Tile work in bathroom has never been cleaned so is discoloured. Yard is unkept, lock for fence not operable (doesn't lineup). Great location in town with a short walk into the town centre, beds comfortable.

The location is perfect, and there is so much to explore within walking distance. The layout of the cottage is very family-friendly—our children spent hours playing in the courtyard while we relaxed in the sitting room. The neighbors were very welcoming and helpful, too! ##### Landon J.

The driveway is tight for two cars but achievable and the parking is really useful. Bourton and the surrounding areas are beautiful and we enjoyed several walks from the doorstep. The only improvement required is tightening up the washers in the top bedroom shower as they leaked significantly. Thanks for a great week! ##### Rhiannon Oliver This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie S.

My only points would be that it would have been helpful to have a bit more info about long term parking. We had three cars as we were all coming from different parts of the country. We were told that there was 'plenty of parking on the main street'. However there was only parking for 90 mins and no return. We ended up using an app and parking the extra car on someone's drive. A minor point also on recycling - notes in the folder would have been helpful. Lovely warm and clean house though and perfect location. ##### Bella T.

Jan 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location Callow Cottage is located within a short walking distance to the village with shops and restaurants. Taking walks around town and through the side public paths were really nice. However, the beds in the master bedroom and 2nd level queen bedroom were incredibly rickety and loud- they cracked and squeaked every time we moved. We tried to find tools to tighten the hardware, as the joints were loose, but could not find anything in the home. Overall, we enjoyed the space, amenities, location, and would recommend staying there (if the beds are fixed). ##### Tricia G.

Main problem was that you could only use one bathroom at a time as the water in the top floor shower would completely stop if somebody was using the bath or shower below. Very inconvenient when everyone is getting ready to go out. Windows extremely dirty at the back. Two big stains on the sofa and some of the bedroom doors won’t close. Apart from that the house was well equipped, milk in the fridge on arrival, biscuits, plenty of coffee capsules for the machine. Prompt reply when informed about the stains on our arrival. Great local bus service.

We were notified to a problem with the en suite toilet flash before our arrival but a plumber was on site within 2 hours and had sorted it. Very good service. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sally B. Jul 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Stuff Of Dreams… I’ve had this vision in my head of a place that is other-worldly to my Chicago home. I didn’t think it was an American place, even in our oldest states this was more established. Then I randomly stumbled upon the Cotswolds. Stone bridges? Yup. Cute shoppes spelled “shoppes”. Yes. Stretch goal of incredibly kind people and amazing food? Nailed it. And this little cottage was our perfect home. It was three of us old friends traveling together and like all creatures in 3’s we had different needs. This place was perfect. The kitchen is adorable and really well appointed. I wished I had stayed to bake something! The living/dining room was spacious for our needs - and the furniture was comfy. The little patio allowed us to enjoy surprisingly good weather in an indoor/outdoor flow. Each bedroom was spacious and had everything at hand. I was thinking, “there must be a hairdryer”, opened a drawer and there it was. The beds were comfortable and clean. Each was simply but cutely furnished. The cottage is situated a short distance from town center, but far enough that there isn’t a lot of foot traffic nearby. Also, The Mouse Trap pub just a few doors down has incredible food and we later heard it’s quite well known. The only (slight) negative was that we had trouble with the gatelock and tried to contact someone and wasn’t able to do so. Fortunately, we figured it out. I just loved everything about it. Thank you to our gracious hosts. ##### Sally B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024
