For our purposes, this property served us very well. We were able to visit with family by easy drives to and from. We enjoyed having everything on one level in the cottage as my husband has mobility issues. Our only concern was the mattresses on the beds were not quite firm enough for us tall folks with back issues. The kitchen is well supplied for just about any type of meal prep. We did have trouble figuring out the laundry machine, and were told that the dryer part was not working well. Again, due to mobility issues, it was great having a walk in shower. There is no tub which didn't concern us at all. Grocery shopping is conveniently located just a few minutes away by car. On the main road there is a gas/petrol station right at the end of Cemetery Land. Attached to it is a laundry which we did use for a quick wash, dry fold service the day before we left. Parking around the town is EXTREMELY limited which for us was an inconvenience, again due to mobility issues. There is a terrific restaurant/pub in Northleach, the next town to the south of Bourton. It's called the Wheatsheaf Inn on the main street. Highly recommend. Richard was extremely helpful finding us a place in Cheltenham to get a replacement battery for my phone. We were lucky with mostly great weather during our stay, and had a wonderful time visiting family.
