The historic village of Bourton-on-the-Water dates back to Neolithic times with over 100 buildings being Grade II listed or higher. The picturesque high street nestles alongside the River Windrush over which several low stone bridges span, which is why Bourton-on-the-Water is known as the Venice in the Cotswolds. The village has an eclectic range of visitor attractions, including The Model Village, Cotswold Motor Museum, Birdland Park and Gardens as well as a Dragonfly Maze, monthly farmers’ market as well as many tea rooms, an artisan bakery, antiques and craft markets, traditional sweet shop, cycle hire and its very own perfumery. Nearby, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises traditional England.

    The owner was very accommodating by letting us check in early for which we were extremely grateful. Also good that it comes with parking for a standard size car just need to be careful on entering the passage between the buildings. A couple of negatives I found were firstly the stairs. Although there is a description explaining they are steep and narrow I would go further to say if you have any kind of mobility issues this cottage is not for you! There should be more information about this and also photos showing the stairs to make this issue clearer. My partner felt very unsafe using them even though we are completely mobile we still had to take care coming down the stairs. Also on arrival there was no tea coffee sugar or milk. Very nice to leave chocolate for us but not what you want after a long 3 and half hour drive! We've stayed in many cottages and every single one offered these things apart from this one! Lastly maybe something could be done with the shower. Although we new it was just a tap shower I found it hard not to drown the bathroom when using it even sitting in the bath! Please don't take these as complaints they are just observations. We had a lovely time and it's a beautiful cottage in a beautiful place thanks for having us.

    Issues about stairs are documented in listing and we found no issue. Cottage is well equipped, parking works well and my family and I had a great time and will be looking to return. Also a very helpful guide to the area!
