Holiday Cottages In Bourton On The Water

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

• Margaret - Verified booking

  It is situated in a good position for travelling around the Cotswolds and a ten minute walk to Bourton on the Water .

  Two of the bedrooms have wardrobes but some of the doors are blocked off so limited storage the other two bedrooms have metal hooks and only 12 hangers were provided for a property that could cater for eight or nine people.There were only four of us and the wardrobe /storage was inadequate. The bed in the main bedroom had a dip in it needing replacement or at least a topper as it caused backache. We read in the visitors book that a previous guest had problems with ants unfortunately so did we ,the kitchen and upstairs bedroom and bathroom were affected. The pots, pans and cooking trays were in a bad state the latter were disgusting and all needing replacement ,there were no casserole dishes . The living room furniture needs refurbishment. The shower mat in the bathroom was a revolting piece of rubber that should have been thrown away and the ceiling vent needed cleaning. The house is built near to a main road and with the windows open there is traffic noise. There are two TVs in the house one just for dvds and the other having only about 12 channels no free view and the only app we could use was bbc I player. I contacted Sykes on the day before we left to forewarn them about the ants and other problems so they could do something about issues we encountered. A housekeeper met us on our departure and agreed that our concerns were valid. We were disappointed with the Bybrook as it did not live up to expectations and we did not think it was value for money. We have stayed in many cottages over the years and realise that not everything runs smoothly but this property had more cons than pros .

  We have enjoyed our week in the Cottage very much !

  The house is very comfortable and cosy, a perfect place to stay during a rainy, windy winter week ! We were 2 families of 4 on holidays together and we had lots of space and privacy for each family. The house is well-equipped and very easy to live in. It really felt like home. Also, what a kind gesture to welcome us with a delicious chocolate cake ! We enjoyed being within walking distance to the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-water. The house is also ideally situated to discover the beautiful villages in the Cotswolds, about an hour drive from Oxford and a little less from Stratford-upon-Avon. There’s so much to do in the area ! We enjoyed it all very much ! We will definitely consider staying again in the Cottage if we come back to the Cotswolds ! Thank you !

  This is a lovely property in a perfect location for walking into the centre of Bourton.

  There is a supermarket also within walking distance and its really close to lots of local attractions and nice places to eat. The house itself is great, plenty of room for a big group. Kitchen had enough equipment to cook meals but definitely bring your own condiments. It would have been helpful to have plastic kids plates/bowls/cups as there were none and with two toddlers this did mean a couple of breakages. The house was clean, beds comfy, Fans provided which was great as it is a warm house. Would recommend bringing own basics like dishwasher tabs, surface spray, washing up sponge, kitchen roll etc. All in all a good stay.

  My family and I recently stayed at Church Farm Barns 2 (booked via Original Cottages) and we had a wonderful time. The cottage is in a peaceful, rural setting in Little Rissington, which is approx. 2 miles from Bourton on the Water. The cottage was clean and spacious with excellent facilities and a hot-tub with ample space for the 6 of us. I look forward to staying at the cottage again at some point in the future and would highly recommend it to others.

  The property space, size & location are great, but the facilities are very tired now.

  It’s close to all you’d want in the heart of the Cotswolds. The beds, pillows & duvets could really do with an upgrade & the sofa’s are very worn & dirty now. There are many marks all over the walls, the carpets look filthy & little things like the toilets are stained. It would be great, it just needs a refresh as it seems like nothings been updated since it was built in 2016, which is a long time for a rental.
