The Cotswolds is many peoples' favourite holiday location. It offers something to do all year round and yet is straightforward to get to and from. The local yellow limestone gives all the local properties and dry stone walls a soft and warm feel. Bourton is in the River Windrush valley so has a sheltered mild climate - in fact the river is a favoured place to paddle.

Reviews

Jack's cottage was beautiful, well maintained and clean. We had a lovely stay here and wish we had stayed longer. The cottage is right in the centre of Bourton-on-water, literally 2minutes walk to the riverside, restaurants and shops. There was space for two cars to park. The garden though small was sunny and had table, chairs and parasol which were lovely. The house itself was lovely - really clean and the owner had clearly made a lot of effort to make it welcoming for us (wine, biscuits, tea, coffee etc). There was nothing missing. Can't recommend this cottage enough - we had a lovely time! |
