A perfect location for Bourton on the water and the surrounding areas. A very dog friendly cottage with access via the back gate onto the recreation ground. Plenty of excellent dog walks straight from the door or a short drive away. The cottage is well stocked with everything you could need but is in need of a good update of decor( the plastic flowers really need to go!) and would benefit from a declutter. The beds were very comfortable but the lack of a door for the top bedroom was an issue for privacy. The cottage sleeps 5 but does not easily accommodate 5 in the downstairs space (only 4 dining chairs). The downstairs cloak room which was not listed in the details was a real bonus.
