Guests say
Kate's Cottage in Cheltenham is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, the peaceful environment, and the thoughtful touches from the hosts. While there are minor suggestions for improvements and a rare report of a maintenance issue, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The cottage receives consistent commendations for its spotlessness and well-maintained state. A single incident of cleaning not being done prior to arrival slightly impacts the score, but overall, guests are very satisfied with the cleanliness.
The location is frequently highlighted as excellent, being quiet yet within a short stroll to local amenities and the village centre. The convenience of the location contributes to a very high score.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of the beds and the cosy atmosphere. A few comments about the size of the second bedroom's bed and a non-working radiator suggest room for minor improvements.
The cottage is well-equipped, with guests appreciating the full-sized appliances and parking. Some feedback on additional kitchen utensils and a need for clearer instructions for the heating system indicate that while facilities are generally excellent, there is some scope for enhancement.
Guests mention thoughtful gestures such as welcome treats and a well-prepared welcome pack. While these are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches, though delightful, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
A charming terraced cottage within the attractive village of Bourton on the Water, just a few minutes walk from the river Windrush, cafes and shops. The excellent living areas and central location make this cottage perfect for small families or couples to enjoy a relaxing break. The sitting room proves itself to be an excellent chilling area as the comfortable leather sofas sat in front of the Freeview TV, and the fire that's set in a stone fireplace. The kitchen diner is light, airy and extremely well appointed with all of the equipment that you could need, set in fresh whites and rustic wooden furnishings.
Onto the upstairs which boasts two refreshing bedrooms both with views overlooking looking buildings that surround this one. To the rear of the cottage there is a pleasant back garden complete with an attractive seating area with a table and chairs for up to four people to create the ideal outdoor spot for the warmer days.

Everything is spotlessly clean and labelled for ease. The property itself has everything that you need and its location to wander into Bourton is utterly amazing! Thank you so much for another amazing stay - if you ever want to sell it then let us know!
