About the home

Well Cottage is a charming 16th century detached cottage situated 50 metres from the river Windrush, set in a very peaceful location and within 3 minutes walk along the river to the village centre. It has been lovingly restored with its original beamed ceilings and large Inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove. The Cottage Garden is centred around a 16th century well. There is private parking for one car in the driveway as well as parking for a second car close to the property. Well Cottage has all the charm for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

Known to be possibly the oldest cottage in the village it has been awarded 4 star rating by Heart of England Tourist board

Bourton on the Water is voted as one of the 12 most beautiful villages in the British Isles.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The cottage is located in a quiet cul de sac with the river Windrush closing one end to traffic. The entrance to the cottage is through a small country garden with a seating area for four and a 16th century well. There is private off-street parking for one car as well as parking for a second car close to the property under the side window to the front under the "Private Parking" sign on the road.

On entering the front door there is a small hall with a beamed ceiling and a door closing off the L shaped living room, where there is a large Inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove and beamed ceilings.

The dining area is furnished with antique chairs and table + LCD TV & stereo system , from which doors lead to a neat kitchen with open stone walls and beamed ceiling.

The 2 large upstairs bedrooms both have beams running the length of each room with a double bed in one and a double and single bed in the other. A good sized bathroom is furnished with a victorian bath and shower head.

Further details outdoors:
Well Cottage is within a conservation area of the village, on a cull de sac closed at one end by the river Windrush, which gives our location a very quiet and unique advantage.

Walking a few short minutes from the cottage will bring you to the picturesque 16th century pathway along the river. There are several ancient stone bridges which will give access to the lovely antique and gift shops either side of the river.

For those who enjoy walking, there are numerous footpaths and bridleways to explore starting as close as twenty metres from the cottage.

There is a pretty front garden with an ancient well and a carved engraving on the front wall believed to be by the Vicar of Le cal from France.

The Central England / Cotswolds / Gloucestershire region

The Cotswolds is rural England at its best, what distinguishes the region is its characteristic warm yellow coloured stone which most of the houses and cottages are built . There is something about the hills and the fields with their dry stone walls, the hedgerows and the friendly towns and villages that blend into rural harmony .

This most attractive region is criss crossed with tracks and public foot paths to accommodate the walker and rambler. Every 3 or 4 miles, the traveller comes upon yet another village of Cotswold stone houses, cottages and farms seemingly more attractive than the last. The area is bounded by Banbury and Oxford to the east, Cheltenham and Gloucester to the west, Cirencester and Stroud to the south, and Stratford on Avon to the north, and is only a mere 80 miles to London.

The Bourton on the Water area

Bourton-on-the-Water is one of the larger villages of the Cotswolds. Besides being an extremely pretty village itself with its river running through the centre [a short time ago it was voted one of 12 most attractive villages in the British Isles] it has good shopping and restaurant amenities and is an ideal centre to explore this beautiful and historic region of Old England. There are many shops selling crafts, antiques as well as a butchers, bakers, small supermarket, and many small tea rooms and restaurants with 5 pubs to choose from.

“A perfect retreat” We had a wonderful relaxing stay in Well Cottage, so cosy with a wood burning stove & beams. Situated in a lovely peaceful square, yet only minutes from all amenities that Bourton has to ofer. The owner Bette & her daughter Dawn came to introduce themselves & were so friendly, offering helpful information about the cottage & the area. They had put a lot of thought into what was needed to make a comfortable holiday, & there was nothing lacking. We would definitely recommend this cottage if you like quaint & quirky.

“Lovely Cottage in a Picturesque Village” Stayed at Well Cottage for four nights and was very impressed. It is located very close to the centre of Bourton on the Water so no need to use the car. The cottage was very clean and the owners and housekeeper very friendly! Would definitely recommend a stay.

“Lovely Quiet Break” The cottage is as i had hoped. It has charming features and has everything you need in it. It was very clean - the cleaner even left us her number if we had any problems and the owner called in to say hi which was nice. It's in a great location - a stones throw from the town and is exactly as advertised.

“A Homey Cottage” My family enjoyed our stay at the Well Cottage on our first trip to the Cotswolds. The rooms are comfortable. Everything that is needed is provided for. The landlady is a very nice person and even stopped by to see how we were during our stay. The cottage is just like what I used to read about in Enid Blyton's books when I was a kid!

“Unfriendly owners” The cottage was average, needs some updating.
