Why was there no photo of the stairs or a warning in the listing - not good for oldies and youngsters. My second issue is the type of chair at the dining table and around the house such as bedroom - cheap, nasty and so uncomfortable. For me these two issues ruined my stay at a fantastic house and garden. Please some more photographs and more information about the property in the listings

The garden was fantastic for our children as was the games which were left and the Xbox, a real family friendly property. Being so close to the centre of Bourton was brilliant, a short stroll down the road and you are there. The kitchen is well stocked and the welcome hamper a lovely touch. Would really recommend this property.

Its just a 5 minute walk into the village with all its amenities and attractions and only 2 minutes walk to the supermarket. The cottage itself is very spacious and well equipped. There is a single bedroom which you walk through to get to one of the double rooms, with an ensuite, which proved ideal for our baby with parents next door. Then there are 2 further double rooms, one with a lovely ensuite the other with use of a separate bathroom. All the double rooms were set up with super king size beds ( I.e. none as a twin as in the photos) this suited us fine but I think you'd need to make it clear if you needed twin rooms. The beds were comfy and the showers and baths powerful. With 2 lounges it meant the generations could do their own thing. The garden is large and fully enclosed, our dog loved playing catch before heading out on a walk. Also included in the cottage were thoughtful touches. A selection of goodies in the fridge, plus tea and coffee. Hand towels in all the bathrooms and tea towels. There's a tap and short hose pipe outside for washing the dog and muddy boots. Would highly recommend. Probably the best holiday cottage we've ever stayed in!
