Great position, just a short walk from the village centre. Comfortable, clean house with a cosy log fire. Good places to eat. We went in March so it wasn’t too crowded but I imagine it would be super busy during the summer. Good fish and chips. Good Sunday lunch in the Moustrap. Exceptional walks all around. Highly recommend the walk from Bourton OTW to the Slaughters ( villages and pub) and back. The views are spectacular.
