Puffitts Cottage

About this property

As featured in the Daily Express this quintessential Cotswold stone period cottage was sympathetically renovated and has been beautifully styled to create a cosy and yet contemporary property, with more than a touch of luxury. Puffitts Cottage is warm and inviting with a wood burner at the heart of the living room, the limestone floors, exposed beams and stonework remind you of the history of this lovely cottage.

As well as the two luxury bedrooms upstairs at Puffitts Cottage, there is also a downstairs single bedroom with walk- in shower as well as a downstairs cloak room, which is ideal for members of the family that may be less mobile. Due to the age of the cottage, there is the odd step within the property, and also steps leading up to the front door.

Originally built in the 18 century, and extended in Victorian times, Puffitts Cottage now offers spacious accommodation, private front and rear gardens, and parking for two cars on its own private driveway at the front of the property. Puffitts Cottage is dog friendly, and can accept up to 2 well behaved dogs (Third on request). With an enclosed, safe rear garden, and direct access to walks from the gate we are perfectly placed for your Cotswold experience. Set in the ever-popular village of Bourton-on-the-Water, famed for its series of low stone bridges, over the fast-flowing River Windrush, and its period honey-coloured stone architecture, this is the perfect place to relax and explore the beauty of the Cotswolds. The centre of the village is just a short, level stroll away and many walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep. The Mousetrap Pub is a minutes’ walk away, serving good food, and your dogs are welcome too. There are plenty of sightseeing opportunities, including the model village, Cotswolds Motor Museum, Birdworld and The Cotswold Perfumery. There are many individual shops, cafés and restaurants to enjoy, as well as a gentle stroll by the water’s edge. Other nearby Cotswold villages worth a visit include Burford, The Slaughters, Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh with its famous Tuesday market, and Chipping Campden. The city of Gloucester, with its magnificent cathedral and tomb of Edward II is within easy reach, as is the Regency city of Cheltenham with famous racecourse. National Trust properties are abundant, including Snowshill Manor and Woodchester Park.
