  We enjoyed our week at Newbury Cottage, it was situated right on the High Street so all the amenities of Bourton On The Water were a couple of minutes away.

  Bourton On The Water is also handy for getting to other attractions of the Cotswolds, and although we drove to other places we were told there is a good bus service to places like Cheltenham for those who prefer not to use the car all the time. Regarding the cottage itself, the kitchen was very well equipped, and the kitchen was clean. There was bread in the freezer with instructions to replace if used, which I thought was a good idea. The furnishings in the cottage were a bit tired looking, dust was in all the wardrobes and also on the living room table. Also driving through the gap to get to our parking space was extremely nerve racking, and you could see where some cars hadn't quite made it, and scraped the walls!! Can I recommend that advice is given to drive in from the village end, as that proved to be the easier option. We were also a bit disappointed that our area of garden was not fenced in, and it would have been difficult to have the gate to the shared garden closed, which meant that our dog Ziggy had to be walked around the garden on the lead first thing in the morning and last thing at night, and could not run around the garden as he is used to at home. Overall the cottage served it's purpose and we were comfortable there, and Bourton On The Water, with it's pubs, tea rooms and restaurants, as a location, cannot be faulted.

  Can’t recommend Ashton House highly enough!

  A spacious, beautifully finished property that exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail and the finishes used were exceptional. The beds and settees the best quality and everything felt like a luxury hotel. The appliances in the kitchen were such good quality that ended up enjoying cooking and rarely ate out. We even did some Christmas baking with the kids. Shower powerful and good quality and bath great for the kids. Loved how the owners have designed this renovation, the living room was cosy for film nights and dining room furniture is beautiful. Blockley is a wonderful village, we discovered some great walks thanks to booklets at the cottage and the pubs and cafe were friendly and welcoming. It’s the first time we have stayed in a village with no car park and we did panic on the first day however we dropped bags off and got used to parking by the park and walking through the church yard. Every so often there was a space outside the cottage. Neighbours were friendly and didn’t mind us unloading. Overall, perfect stay and would highly recommend.

  This is our second stay at this delightful character cottage with our family.

  We found everything to be clean and in order. Bread, milk, juice & cereal was provided. This is such an excellent choice for the close proximity (just a five minute walk) to the centre of the scenic village of Bourton on the Water. Everything is nearby, shops, restaurants/tea rooms, pubs & tourist attractions with the beautiful river Wind-rush flowing through the centre. I know some guests have been unhappy that there is no WiFi supplied. That said, we couldn't even pick up a signal when switching our data on so I'm sure it would not be an option anyway. I would suggest that maybe the guest towels provided need replacing? They were the same ones we had a few years back when we last stayed and are starting to show their age.

  A beautifully modernised cottage, very convenient for the shops in Wotton - just a 10-15 minute walk.

  We stayed in January to meet up with family nearby, when the temperatures were around freezing, but the heating in this cottage kept us lovely and warm at all times. Probably the best appointed holiday home we've ever stayed in. As mentioned in the description, the stairs are a bit steep and twisty, but there's a sturdy handrail to hold on to as you go up and down so they didn't cause us a problem (we are in our 70s). A few low beams and doorways to watch out for especially if you're a bit on the tall side, but at the end of the day it's an old cottage and very cosy inside. Will definitely book again when we need to be in the area.

  This was the ideal setting for our family new years break.

  The cottage itself is fantastic, located in a beautiful little village. The owner was very helpful, and answered our questions promptly. The bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. The living area very cozy with the log burner and a nice glass of red as we sat round with the kids. Kitchen well equipped and nice touch with the basics provided as well as fresh milk and bread. Good to have standard toiletries provided too. The local cafe is about 60seconds walk and sooo nice, and The Great Western pub is about 5 mins walk, with good food, atmosphere and a really warm welcome! Overall a fantastic place to bring in the new year!
