Lovely historic cottage with modern appointments. A block walk to the river / bridge. Bourton-on-the-water (pronounced like board) - is charming, right there w good pubs & restaurants.We loved our stay, the ease of owner communications and the closeness of rural views & nature.Highest marks !
The cottage is in a perfect location. A few steps away from the river walk but just tucked away around the corner enough that you are away from the busy main area. We used it as a base for some long walks out into the countryside (especially liked the Windrush Way hike) and easy walk to places for dinner. Walking to both Lower and Upper Slaughter is a must! There were only two of us. Would be a bit cosy if you actually had five people in there. We became accustomed to catching the bus to go to Moreton in Marsh and from there you will find a lot of bus/train connections to explore other areas. Went on a day visit to Chipping Camden which is lovely. The church there is a must see! On a rainy afternoon, we visited the Motoring Museum and it was a very pleasant surprise. We were amazed at how big it actually is. When we left, we took the train from Moreton in Marsh to London Paddington which took just over an hour. There is no train station in Bourton on the Water.
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful 16th-century cottage. The property is full of character and charm, with many original features that really add to the atmosphere, yet itâs been thoughtfully updated to ensure modern comfort.The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival, and the beds were extremely comfortable â we slept very well. The shower was excellent, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. While the bath was a little high, itâs a minor point and didnât detract from the overall comfort.The location is fantastic â peaceful yet convenient â and we really appreciated the off-street parking. One of the highlights was the lovely cream tea waiting for us when we arrived. It was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch from the hosts.Overall, a delightful place to stay, blending historic charm with modern convenience. We would absolutely return!
My wife and son had the most delightful 4 night stay in this wonderful cottage in the heart of Boughton with only 2 mins walk to the centre. From begining to end everything was a breeze. Ease of location, parking, entry, cleanliness upstairs downstairs, comfort, good facilities, overall it was perfect. Even on arrival the owners had left a "sweet"surprise for my wife's celebration - a very nice touch for our stay. Thank you.I fully recomend this beautiful property for any length of stay.
Well Cottage is absolutely charming in every way! Great location, well appointed, and very clean with comfy beds and a great bathroom. (note: the bathtub/shower can be pretty high to step into for older or disabled folks but you can hold on to the sink to help you in--see the photos). About 9 steps to get upstairs. Bourton-on-the-Water is just a lovely village! A lot of other people must think so too--lots of tourists but they are well behaved, mostly families. Would love to stay there again. Just a magical little place to stay!
Truly full of character! Lovely cottage very close to Windrush, but tucked away from crowds. We drove in to Bourton so we very much appreciated the parking on premises. We were a bit concerned about the absence of A/C but it was completely unnecessary!
We spent a relaxing 2 weeks in this gorgeous period cottage. Dawn and Bette were excellent hosts and have attended to every need. Comfortable bedding, quiet and very cosy surroundings. Although only a couple of minutes from the main street it is very private and quiet. We made an excellent choice, we would recommend it to anyone looking for a base in the Cotswolds.
Donât miss an opportunity to stay in this lovely cottage! It is perfectly located to experience Bourton-on-the-Water. We loved the wooden beams, wood stove fireplace, and all the amenities provided by Dawn and Bette. I will be recommending Well Cottage to friends! Catherine
10/10. What a fantastic place inside and out. Absolutely spotless, comfortable, you couldn't ask for better hosts. Friendly neighbours and a great ice-cream guy at the end of the street. Watch for many tourists taking photos, you are a historical cottage after all. Thanks for everything Bette and Dawn.
Well Cottage was a wonderful experience start to finish. The host was excellent- wonderful communication- especially appreciated written instructions upon arrival and lovely cream tea!Very charming, cozy cottage. Well appointed and perfect location to explore the area, Having a parking spot was very valuable! Absolutely would stay again and highly recommend!
Dawn does not miss a single detail in making this cottage more than special. To mention a few key items that made our stay perfect: the linens (!), very comfortable beds, high end equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture to relax on after long hikes in the beautiful countryside, sweet outdoor sitting area - and Dawn as our host! Home was built in 1600âs and thoughtfully preserved with all the modern touches that made our stay very comfortable. The cottage is less than 2 blocks from town and has its own parking space. Town gets busy but what a quiet oasis to come home to! Dawn, thank you for sharing this rare gem!
This charming cottage, built in the 16th century, is nestled in the heart of the village. Within a stoneâs throw, youâll find a bakery, a pharmacy, and a supermarket. For a more extensive grocery selection, thereâs a larger COOP just a 10-minute walk away. Additionally, there are several walking paths nearby, eliminating the need to drive. The friendly owner is always ready to assist with any questions you may have. Enjoy your stay!
Well cottage is delightful and has the benefit of off-street parking - very important in Bourton. It is in a perfect location, being very close to the centre of the village but in a quiet road.The property was spotlessly clean, well-equipped and as such had everything I needed for a relaxing break.The owner is very hands on and nothing was too much trouble. I enjoyed the fruit, cheese and biscuits that were provided!I would definitely recommend this property.
Very cute place to stay. There were several issues that came with staying in an older place but we dealt with it since our stay was short. The location was absolutely perfect! The hosts were fantastic. One thing I would like to say is that the ceiling is very low so if you are tall, you will have to crouch while walking around. But since we spent most of our time out sightseeing, it wasn't a big deal. We loved how charming this place was. Also a big plus was having a parking space right in front of the property. There is a small grocery store withing short walking distance where we got some essentials like water and breakfast items. There are also some wonderful restaurants right around the corner. My family loved it and my husband still talks about this cottage to friends.
This was a great cottage to base yourself in the Cotswoldâs. The two minute walk to the village was a great feature of this cottage as well as the parking spot. I enjoyed the fire and the beautiful surrounds. I would recommend a stay.
