Kate's Cottage

Absolutely beautiful cottage.

When I walked in the door I was so impressed. The layout the decor. Also it is an extremely clean cottage. The welcome tray with cake a nice touch as was the teabags and milk.Everything you would want in a cottage. Only a couple of mins from the centre. Extremely quiet at night. I would highly recommend Kate's Cottage to anyone.

Lovely property clean and tidy on arrival.

Milk in fridge and packet of cake squares

Another lovely stay at Kates Cottage.

Have stayed three years running now and as always the cottage is spotless and welcoming. Just a thought, in this heat an umbrella for the garden would have been welcome. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage hope ti come back very soon. Have a lovely summer ☀️

Our second visit to Kates Cottage and it was still exceptionally clean and very comfortable.

Although the centre of the village was packed every day because of the weather ( very hot!) It was so quiet in Kates Cottage although it was only three minute walk to the centre. It was lovely to have a fan in the living room for when we returned from exploring the area in 34° heat. The owner had provided everything we needed to make our holiday enjoyable even biscuits, tea, coffee and milk for our first cup of tea after our journey there.

A very nice, modern house in the Cotswolds just one minute from the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water.

Almost everything was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Having stayed in the area many times (but always a fair walk from BOTW) the biggest bonus for us is that Kate's Cottage is right in the heart of the village. It was brilliant to be able to wander into the main area easily and as often as we wanted. The house itself has everything you need for a week away from home. We have immediately booked again for next year. I would like to make two observations, both of these are personal prefs and should not be considered as a complaint in any way. 1. There needs to be some sort of handrail to help steady people when getting in and out of the bath and when moving about in the shower. Currently, extreme care is needed to ensure you do not slip or fall, especially for those of us who are not used to clambering into a bath to have a shower. 2. It would have added a huge amount to our stay if there was somewhere to place the garden furniture at the bottom end of the garden instead of it being filled with small plants and a bush. The sun shines into the bottom of the garden well into the evening but the current seating and table area is in shadow from noon onwards. A flat area to sit and eat (patio/paving) would give guests a better overall experience? Nevertheless, the whole week at Kate's Cottage was excellent and we look forward to coming back next year.

Great location for touring the Cotswolds and town of Bourton on the Water and parking the car.

Lovely warm cottage to return to after brisk days out, presentation A1, everything you need provided. Only downside is the shower over the bath.

Very close to shops, pubs, cafes & restaurants.

Also, very good location for travelling to other places in the Cotswolds. This very cosy cottage was spotlessly clean & was well equipped with everything you need in a holiday let. The bed was probably the comfiest we’ve ever had away from home! Sofa was a bit saggy, but there were enough cushions to create some support. All in all though we were very impressed with the property. Oh, and the carrot cake on arrival was greatly appreciated ☺️

What a lovely comfortable cottage.

Beds were so comfy. Handy toilet downstairs. Great location as only 2 minutes walk to centre.We had everything to make it a great holiday thanks to the owners and sykes.

We have stayed here several times now.

Its a really great location near to shops and resturants. Has added bonus of parking. A great clean comfortable cottage. We hope to return sometime.

Another amazing stay at Kate’s Cottage - our 7th!

Central to everything and a great base for exploring the wider area. Thanks again!

Wonderful cottage just an extra saucepan would be appreciated.

Cannot fault the cottage best we have stayed in all the years we have been coming to Bourton. See you soon

This cottage is fabulous.

Ideal position for the centre of Bourton yet so quiet. Parking both front and back of property. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the property immaculate and top quality crockery and furnishing. The beds are so comfortabe and the master bedroom is delightful. Combined with the fantastic weather we had last week we had a woderful time at Kate's Cottage and can't wait to return.

Lovely property, home from home, great location.

Thank you for the cake on arrival very much appreciated. Just one thing though when it rains the guttering to the rear of the property needs looking at it overflows (blocked) and not doing much for the wall of your property or the garden.

Kate's Cottage was the best property we have ever stayed in from the Sykes catalogue.

We couldn't find fault at all especially its location. We will definitely return again.

Great location beautiful village with many walks could not fault it

We had a very comfortable, enjoyable 2 week stay at Kate’s Cottage.

It was a ‘home from home’ and the great weather gave us the chance to sit out in the garden and have many days eating and reading at the table and chairs provided. A fantastic location within a minutes walk to all the coffee shops, pubs, etc. that is Bourton on Water. The only slight negative was a slow WiFi.

Nice house near to village .

The recycling rules and instructions we both thought a bit odd on the whole we enjoyed our stay and would stay again

We had an enjoyable stay.

Property in a great location easy to park, only a few minutes walk into town. It was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. All the instructions were clear in book provided. This was our second stay and we would not hesitate to stay again.

Lovely, cosy and clean cottage.

Great location, only few minutes walk from Bourton centre but nice and quiet. Small table and couple of chairs in back garden would be welcome addition. Would be useful to include wi-Fi password in welcome pack although we eventually came across the router in kitchen. Overall great cottage and would not hesitate to return.

Very good accommodation clean, comfortable and well equipped.

For us the property was ideally located within easy walking distance of centre of Bourton. Would definitely use again.

This is our 6th time at Kate’s Cottage and we could happily live there!

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!

Comfortable clean cottage in an excellent location.

Good facilities with two generous sofas and a comfortable bed.Quiet but a short walk away from the beautiful village centre. Many lovely walks from the door. Good bus service and easy access by car to main routes. Plenty of attractions nearby.

This was my 2nd stay and hopefully we can return again.

The cottage is spotless and extremely well equipped. Its has parking for 2 cars. Excellent location very close to shops, the birdpark, pubs and restaurants. We could not find fault with anything. Highly recommend.

Kate’s cottage was perfect for our stay in the Cotswolds.

Excellent location, spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed.

Had a short stay, weather certainly helped the cottage had everything you would need although ate out didn't use cookers etc This cottage is situated very central for Bourton on the Water and you pass a couple of restaurants before reaching the centre itself would recommend The Croft if want good breakfast and La Reine for lunch/ snack.

You will find the parking space invaluable whilst staying makes your stay much easier than trying to find car parks Overall would recommend Kate's Cottage for anyone considering a visit to Bourton on the Water

We had the best time at the cottage and would definitely book again.

Very clean and comfortable.. Lots of things to do around the area and we did lot's of sightseeing We had the best time..

Lovely cottage.

We have been coming on holiday to Bourton for 20yrs and Kates Cottage rates very high on the list. Everything you could possibly need very very clean and comfortable. Having 2 car spaces was a bonus. The only thing was that in the 2nd bedroom needs a bedside table a mirror and shelf would be handy. These are only minor things otherwise excellent. Would come again and again. Thank you for sharing your cottage.

We have stayed in so many holiday cottages I have lost count.

Kate's cottage has firmly lodged itself in amongst our favourite ones. Nice and quiet but only a few minutes walk from cafes, pubs and the river. The cottage itself had everything we needed. The lounge was spacious which was great in the evening when we went back for a rest. Parking is easy for unloading. A perfect stay!

This was a very comfortable and spotless accommodation.

Excellent location. Good parking. We could not fault it and would recommend. Owners even left us some lovely chocolate cake.

Kate’s cottage is a cosy, comfortable and lovely place to stay in the charming village of Bourton on the Water.

The cottage is clean, warm and peaceful. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Lovely cottage, everything we needed & so close to town centre.

Delightful crockery - but could do with more plates and mugs.

We had some problems with the heating system. Something is needed to explain the controls on the thermostat in the living room. The directions for finding Kate's Cottage are very bad. We understood the statement that it is '7 Victoria Terrace' as meaning that we were looking for a street called Victoria Terrace. It needs to be made clear that the cottage is in Victoria Street, which contains this terrace of eight houses called Victoria Terrace.

This property was faultless, in a quiet neighbourhood with parking outside the property, close to the village centre probably the cleanest I've stayed in well worth coming back to again thanks also for the welcome Victoria sponge.

Spotlessly clean cottage.

Situated within minutes to centre of village yet on a quiet street. Well equipped with everything you would require. Comfy king size bed. We parked at the front as it was easier to access. Nice touch was the milk and lemon drizzle cake on arrival. Cottage was ideal for what we wanted. Bourton on the water is a lovely place. Should we return we would definitely use Kate's cottage again. We had a lovely holiday.

Great location and well equipped property.

Super clean on arrival and easy access into the property. The decoration although clean could do with a facelift, as wood chip on all walls and ceilings is somewhat out dated. A great plus is being able to park on drive of property. Great quiet location and just a 2min walk to pubs and restaurants in town. The Cotswolds is no doubt a beautiful part of the country with Bourton on the water being my favourite town of them all.

Good cottage, ideal location

Beautiful cottage with all we needed and more.

Will be back again. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

this was perfect for our stay.

Close to the center of town yet quiet with good parking. every need in this clean, comfortable accommodation was catered for. thanks

We really enjoyed our stay, very clean, everything we needed was there.

Very good location. We would certainly stay there again. Sue

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The property was very nicely furnished. The area was very quiet even though it is only a few minutes to the busy village centre . The information pack and accompanying books about the Cotswold area really help with ideas of where to explore. The cake and milk welcome pack was a lovely touch. They also supplied, coffee, tea, sugar, plenty of toilet rolls, foil, cling film, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and a selection of cleaning equipment. The supply of these very essential items was not added to the properties details. I think this would be a very welcome addition as it reduces the items you might bring with you at self catering accommodation .

The cottage was amazing.

Great location. Lovely and comfy. Everything you need is provided. Would highly recommend.

Well what can I say, what a beautiful holiday home, in a beautiful area of the world.

No complaints at all, only praise. Thank you for a fab week.

Lovely, clean, quiet cottage in an excellent location, only a 1 or 2 minute walk to the centre of Bourton on the Water, and an easy distance for many places of interest in the Cotswolds.

Thank you for the milk and cake and for a very comfortable stay.

Lovely cottage everything we needed, the milk and cake was much appreciated, only a short walk to village centre.

Bourton on the Water was beautiful and there were plenty of lovely places nearby to explore.

This was our second stay at Kate’s Cottage, a comfortable, well appointed cottage, quiet, and less than 5 minutes walk from the village centre.

The lounge is large and comfortable, and the kitchen/dining area is well equipped. The main bedroom upstairs has a very comfortable double bed which is a generous size, and the second bedroom is adequate, although we didn’t have need to use it. The various items of equipment were easy to use, and the heating easy to adjust. The village is very pretty, there is a large supermarket about 1/2 mile from the cottage, and very interesting shops in the village. There are plenty of places of interest in the immediate area.

The property was lovely, clean and well kept.

The furniture was all very comfortable. We had a great break and would happily book again.

Comfortable and clean property, excellent location to local amenities.

Idyllic area.

Property was far more spacious than expected.

Booking fee excessive

This is a great cottage, just off the village centre.

It has all the facilities you need for a relaxing break. We will be back hopefully next year.

The property was clean except for the kitchen floor which was sticky to walk on.

The chest of drawers in the main bedroom had a sticker on it saying faulty do not use this looked like it had been there for a while, all the drawers were collapsed, so there was nowhere to put clothes very unsatisfactory and disappointing the bedside tables were cheap metal garden tables . The toilet seat in the downstairs cloakroom was unstable and moved when sat on. The welcome pack was a packet of chocolate biscuits and a pint of milk, the milk was 5 days out of date!!

Very nice stay

Kate's cottage was lovely, very well equipped kitchen.

Lovely and comfy, they accommodated earlier check in for us. Also, we appreciated the chocolate cake and milk left for us. Ample parking space, we'd stay here again. Only niggle we had was with the bins, the bins only get emptied every fortnight and it was quite limiting with how much rubbish we can produce. It'd be worth getting a second wheelie bin (council permitting).

The cleanest & most comfortable place I’ve ever stayed.

Excellent location, everything you’d want in walking distance. Very short drive to the most amazing Co op supermarket. Plenty of parking very close to the cottage. Inside, the layout of the kitchen is really ideal, v easy to work with. Loved everything about it & could happily live there.

This cottage had everything for visiting the Cotswolds in winter.

Great location, very quiet area, off road parking, all you need for your stay, including a hair dryer. Lovely comfortable bed and the very efficient heating, making it a home from home. 5 star.

Kate’s cottage was really spacious and comfortable.

It was so close to the centre of Bourton on the water, which was very convenient. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, in spite of the weather!

This is the fourth time we have stayed at Kate’s Cottage, so we knew it would be fantastic - and it was.

Lovely cottage much bigger than the photo suggested.

Very clean with everything you would need provided. Great location. We would stay again.

This is our third visit to Kate's cottage and it still remains one of the best we have stayed in .

But I do have a couple of suggestions, 1 clear the garden (jungle) and lay more paving so you could at least use the table and chairs. 2 new pillows please. Thank you again for a great holiday.

Kates Cottage was spotlessly clean.

Everything you needed was provided. Would definitely stay again. The milk & biscuits was a nice touch.

We found the location excellent.

Cottage beautiful. Bourton on the water was outstanding place. Would definitely go back there. Bars and restaurants lovely and lovely shops.

We did a last minute bank holiday booking to the cotswold and what a fantastic cottage it turned out to be.

it is much much larger than what is seen in the photos( i would ask the owners to definitely put up new photos of the property and the old ones don't do enough justice to it) The cottage has everything you need,there was a welcome milk bottle and cake on arrival which we found absloutely sweet. Also ,the property is super clean and you feel quite comfortable in these strange times of covid. Location is brilliant,a 2 minute walk to the river windrush! we will definitely be staying at the same property again in the future. Thankyou

We were very happy with the cottage, and especially the location.

It is within just two or three minutes walk from the centre of the village,, and is very quiet. It was helpful to have milk waiting for us and we appreciated the sponge. One little addition would have been welcome for when it was raining would have been a CD/DVD player, but the smart TV went a long way to putting that right. Would certainly returning to the cottage for a future holiday.

Very nicely furnished, very clean, well looked after.

Good position, quiet but not too far from centre for shops an d restaurants. Few small niggles, the plug in the washbasin upstairs would not stay down, to allow water to stay in the bowl, no sieve in kitchen to drain vegetables, no space in kitchen to store food. Would recommend to a friend.

This cottage is bigger than the pictures suggest.

Its in an amazing location, in a very quiet area, 2 minutes walk into centre of village .

We had a great stay at Kate's cottage.

The accommodation was clean and tidy, it is bigger than it looks on the pictures so we had lots of room and it was very comfortable relaxing in the cottage. It was in a great location only a minutes walk into Bourton on the water. Parking was fine with a space outside the cottage and a separate garage as well. Will definitely consider staying here again and will recommend to others.

Probably the cleanest cottage I have ever stayed at.

The owners thought of everything. Couldn’t fault it. Excellent!

Second time we have used Katie's cottage and hopefully we will be back.

Very comfortable and right in the middle of Boughton. Regular home from home.

The cottage was lovely, comfortable and very homely, clean, will definetly be coming back

The house is bigger on the inside, like the Tardis, very clean and very comfortable, I have already recommended it to family & friends who want a similar holiday in the area.

The extra toilet on the ground floor was a bonus to us old folk :)

The holiday booking was for 4 adults.

The sleeping accommodation was for 3 people. We may have missed this in reading the property description but would have expected Sykes to,at least, warned us of the possible errot.

Lovely cottage - really comfortable and had everything we wanted.

Excellent location to.

Cottage was spotless, everything we needed was there and it was in a great position for local amenities.

We had a lovely time and would definitely return

Lovely, well equipped cottage with everything you need.

Loved the induction hob cooker. Good sized fridge/freezer. Full sized dish washer. Instructions supplied for all electrical items. Cottage was bigger than expected. Very pretty garden. It was very quiet, with lovely birdsong. Only one negative - duvet cover and pillow case were made from polyester and produced static.

The cottage was very clean and well stocked.

The tea and coffee supplies, including biscuits, milk and sugar was a welcome touch after a long travel day! The cottage is very cozy and cute. We will definitely recommend Kate's cottage to anyone visiting this area. The location was perfect!

Everything about it was excellent.

From the cleanliness and comfort to the location and convenience of parking. The icing on the cake for us was discovering we could get Netflix and iPlayer on their tv. We hope to return and do all the things we didn’t manage this time

Everything about the cottage was very good and the only improvement would be to have a set of drawers in the bedroom for small items.

The cottage was excellent.

Everything was right, location, facilities, comfort, etc. Would like to go back to this cottage as we really enjoyed our time there.

Unfortunately when we arrived at 3 pm no cleaning had been carried out since the previous guests left and we had to leave the property for two hours whilst this was done.

However we had a good holiday in Kate's Cottage which was very comfortable and well positioned for the village.

Very nice cottage in a very nice village.

Superb cottage, well appointed in a great location for both the village and the Cotswold area.

Great to have adequate and secure parking

A superb cottage, perfect location and great parking.

The cottage was cosy and clean and looked exactly like the pictures, if not slightly bigger than expected! Lovely little touch from the hosts leaving mince pies, a host of board games and a very thorough welcome pack and things to do in the local area pack. A very lovely little cottage and we'll very likely be back!

Our stay at Kate's cottage was lovely, their was everything you needed and more a few minuets walk from the centre of Bourton with its shops, restaurants and pubs, couldn't have wished for anything better.

Magical few days away it even snowed.

The cottage was perfect, very comfortable and great location.

Would definitely use again. Can’t think of anything to improve it.

Kates cottage was beautiful, spotless, has every you could need.

nice quiet location, but also close to beautiful village. well worth a visit.

Kate’S Cottage was very clean and freshly decorated.

It was well resourced, comfortable and just a few minutes walk from the centre of town. We would recommend the cottage highly for a short break in the Cotswolds. There was wi-fi and nice extra touches such as milk, tea/ coffee and biscuits waiting for us.The only slight problem we had was actually finding it as the front door is on the side of the cottage and we couldn’t find the street name. Off road parking next to the door was extremely useful.

Comfortable cottage, great location, spotlessly clean.

We had an excellent weekend stay

This cottage is situated in a very peaceful location yet only 2 minutes from the centre of the town.

The house itself is spotless and the beds are very comfortable.

Kate’s Cottage is comfortable and well equipped.

The location is perfect; very quiet, but just a short stroll from the centre of the village. We had a very relaxing week.

We had a lovely stay, in a lovely cottage.

Cottage very comfortable and well furnished.

Could have done with a few more kitchen utensils eg colander or sieve, also some small glasses for fruit juice and perhaps another saucepan but otherwise very good.

Unfortunately, the radiator in the front bedroom was not working.

The situation in the village was very convenient and quietly situated. The cottage was very well equipped.

Kate's cottage is just perfect for access to all shops and cafes in the village without moving your car.

Plenty of car parking at the cottage which is very welcome. The cottage is very well equipped and everything is newly refurbished, I would highly recommend it.

The cottage was a home from home, in fact, better than that, I could happily swap.

Cottage was beautifully appointed and super, super clean. It was handy for where I was working at Cheltenham and shops, bars and restaurants were a few steps away. Well done Kates Cottage.

Kate's cottage was lovely.

Location was ideal - not even a 5 minute walk into the centre of Bourton-on-on-the-water. The cottage was very cosy. The only negative I would say is the second bedroom has a 4ft bed so was not ideal for 2 adults. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk was available for us and a box of choccies - nice touch!

Really nick picking I know but the accommodation could have done with an electric kettle and we had to go out to purchase a corkscrew but other than that we had a really relaxing break .

Location of the property is excellent.

A couple of minutes walk into the village, which is ideal with small children. The cottage could do with some more child friendly facilities, such as a high chair, stair gate and travel cot to save people having to take their own. The cottage was very clean and welcoming when we arrived, and it felt very homely. We're planning another short break to Bourton-on-the-Water and will definitely try to stay at Kate's cottage again.

When booking my original week I suggested that I may like to extend my stay, as we were in the area house hunting and Kate's Cottage was not booked again until the following Tuesday.

I telephoned at 9.15 am on the Wednesday to extend. Finally, after making 3 phone calls and speaking to 6 people, at about 4.30 pm I was told we could extend. I was told the price would be pro-rata, I just accepted what I was asked for and paid. When I later worked it out I found I had been massively overcharged! Do you wonder at my lack of satisfaction.

Had a fantastic weeks break in Kate's cottage.

A very beautiful cottage close to the village. The cottage is very well maintained and very clean.. lots of attractions within walking distance. Will definitely be returning.
