Amazing charming cottage perfectly located right in the middle of bourton on the water. We are a family of 5 with 3 young children and it was perfect for us. Everything walking distance. The property was wonderful, the sliding door in the kitchen onto the patio and back garden is awesome. Freddie was a great host and would reccomend staying here to anyone that wants an unforgettable Cotswolds vacation !
OMG what a wonderful property, and a *great* experience with the management company. Communication was clear and frequent, responses were timely and polite. The property itself was gorgeous! Like being in a brand new property for the first time. We enjoyed it thoroughly and it served as a great base for our long weekend in the Cotswolds. Highly recommend.
