Wadham Cottage

A beautiful cottage in an ideal location, great for shopping as so close and great for walks as plenty of starting points.

The church next door is really pretty and worth a visit (you get used to the regular bells!) the cottage is clean and cosy, some road noise but it depends what your used to and would benefit from an over head shower. Lovely village and it made New Years very special and memorable- thank you x

The Wadham Cottage is in a perfect location to take advantage of everything Bourton on Water has to offer.

It was nice to be able to walk to everything. The cottage has everything you would need during your stay with the exception of a hair dryer and fans. The hair dryer would be a nice addition for visitors from overseas and the addition of a few fans would also be nice for those days when it is warm outside. The path to go to Lower Slaughter starts next to the property and it is a lovely walk. I highly recommend this walk for people who are able to do it. You will not be disappointed.

Lovely cottage.

We had a great stay.

What a cottage!

Perfectly placed, mix of historical charm and comfort. Rooms all comfortable and cosy. Lovely outdoor seating area.

This quirky little cottage was like a home from home, for us.

We loved it and found it very relaxing. The Church and clock bells next door were a bonus and gave it all a rustic 'feel" about it. The condition and cleanliness are a real credit to all those who look after Wadham Cottage. We would like to come back for our Golden Wedding Anniversary, (this was our Silver), but I will be 101 yrs old so fear it may not happen

Stayed before five years ago we were happy then and still are .

Nice to find a property with parking ,barton on the water gets very busy, so parking a plus

A delightful, charming cottage with a quintessentially British feel, perfectly located in the beautiful village of Bourton-on-the-Water.

Parking on-site can be tricky, especially for larger or wider cars, due to the narrow access lane, but there are plenty of parking spaces available nearby in the town. The sofas are quite small, suited for very petite people, and the stairs are challenging, so be mindful of your head. However, these quirks add to the cottage’s charm. The only thing we felt was missing was tea or coffee provided; after a long 4-hour drive, it would have been nice to not have to go out for supplies immediately.

Absolutely spot on.

Amazing cottage right in the centre of the village. The cottage has everything you could possibly need. Stayed in the village several times this is by far the best cottage yet. Have family in bourton who we visit at least twice yearly . Will definitely book this again. Furnishing is lovely. Very cosy and warm. Plenty of room. It's the whole package. Beams beautiful windows. Only drawback for me was feather cushions ect I'm allergic but didn't impact my stay.

We’ve been staying at this cottage and the neighbouring cottages for the past 12 years and I can truly say that it has been a comfortable and relaxing stay.

The cottage have got everything you need. Home from home. On the doorstep to the beautiful village of Bourton on the water and short drive to other beautiful villages. Place that you just return to time after time

Tiles coming away in bathroom, cobwebs, no unit space for food in kitchen, electric fire not fixed to the wall,

Lovely cottage in a great location in Bourton, close to shops and restaurants.

Having a parking space was also a big plus as I've stayed in Bourton previously and had to use a nearby car park. We had a lovely holiday and would come back again

Only thing missing is a shower unit everything else was great

The cottage was extremely cold on arrival and the heating was switched off.

It took us a while to figure out the heating and even after that it took about 8-10 hours for the cottage to heat up to a comfortable temperature. So, our first night was quite uncomfortable. Considering the extreme weather conditions, this is something we would've expected to be looked after upon check-in. Other than this issue, our stay was great. Additionally, we were driving a Jeep Compass and even though the approach road to the parking was a little narrow, we managed comfortably. Overall, we would definitely recommend Wadham!

Beautiful property, well situated, with everything you need .

We've actually stayed at 3 of the for cottages now , and definitely preferred the staircase in this one

Lovely cosy cottage, spotlessly clean and everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We couldn't of wished for a nicer place to stay. Would definately recommend and hopefully will book again.

Driveway up to cottage very narrow and perhaps some kind of warning there would be good.

Shower curtain would be good to have so no water gets into floor.

This is a nice little cottage every thing you need private parking is great and short walk to the shops and centre of village.

Toilet seat needs fixing and l agree with some of the other reviews need a proper shower then would be perfect. Had lovely stay.

A lovely cottage and having somewhere to park was amazing.

The toilet seat was loose and needs adjusting and I think it would be useful to have a shower screen. Everything else was very nice and comfortable.

Just to say a huge thank you.

I took my dad and eldest son, so 3 Generations of the Evans family, and it was perfect. My dad lived in Great Risslington during and after the war and was talking about the snow of 1947, and we managed to find his house, he also when courting my mother, who left us 4 yrs ago now, they lived coming to stay in BOW, in the Old New Inn, so his face lit up when we went there, and all of this so close to the cottage, and my oldest boy has had problems the last couple of years so to see him smiling and laughing and enjoying himself was priceless, the beds are so so comfy, and the living room perfect and snug, and the kitchen was amazing it had everything and we spent hours sat around the table talking it was lush, we managed with the bathroom, but if you could get a walk in shower, I could then never see anyone having a problem, as that is what we needed to make it absolutely’ perfect. Let’s just say in short I will be back with my partner hopefully this year, and ideally we want to make Mon-Fri the week of mayday a yearly thing with my Dad and sim, so when 2024 prices are out let me know as I will book straight away

Really enjoyed our stay at Wadham cottage.

Small, but almost everything you need. We had an issue with one of the radiators not working. But after a call to the owner it was fixed the next day. The ceiling in the bathroom was so low my husband couldn't stand up straight. So he had to have baths. Perfect location, just a short stroll to the village. Great for coming back from the pub. Would stay again

It was brilliant

Cosy cottage in the beautiful village of Bourton on the water.

Private parking which is a bonus. Short walk to the village with ample shops, pubs and restaurants. Large garden although gaps in hedge so dog can get through to neighbours garden then leading onto busy main road. There is street noise and the church bells situated to the side of the cottage rings every hour but not an issue . Overhaul another wonderful holiday in Wadham Cottage

No everything was perfect

We loved staying at Wadham cottage.

Perfect location for Bourton-On-The-Water. Ideal for a lovely stroll into the village for shops, cafes and pubs etc. The cottage had everything we needed. And was very comfortable. It kept the heating in well. At times felt too hot. The church bells were lovely and didn’t distract or bother us. We were not disturbed by the traffic or people passing the cottage. We would recommend the lovely cottage. And it’s an ideal location for visiting the local pretty villages. If we come back to the area, we would book here again. Even our dog loved it here.

Lovely cottage, right in the heart of the village whilst still retaining that private feel.

We loved the quirky layout and was able to use as a base to discover the beautiful Cotswolds. Was exactly as described and very helpful and attentive owner and housekeeper.

This is a lovely Cottage in a lovely location.

It is a tight drive but manageable. The Church chimes are lovely and did not wake us, quite useful in the night to tell the time. The outside space is very open ( no individual space ) and our Dog did escape and wander down the drive to the road, bit scarey but no harm done, we attached him to the coat hooks after so he could wander in and out. We arrived at 3.30 pm being prepared to wait but Cottage was ready. Mousetrap Pub was less commercial and did Curry Night Tuesday - very good. Smith's Burgers and Chip Shed highly recommended. Neighbours friendly . Lots to do and lovely places to visit, we loved Batsford Arbaretum . Lots of Dog Friendly places and lots of water bowls about and of course there is always the River to paddle in.

Lovely historic cottage in the heart of bourton.

Everything we needed. Comfortable and convenient.

It felt just like home, really nice cottege.

The cottage was very warm and cosy, felt right at home.

Very central for shops, pubs, cafés. Very good places to eat.

Lovely cosy cottage right in the heart of bourton on the water.

Parking available up a tight lane but manageable. Noisy traffic at times and when people walking past but not late that it interfered with our visit. Close to shops pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. Lovely walks to take in fresh air and the beauty of the village. Close to many other villages to visit. A few blips that was corrected immediately by the owner after being informed. Continuous updates and and courteous calls to ensure we was ok. Followed by a box of delightful brownies from the owner. A really pleasant stay definitely recommend. Will return for the 3rd year in 2022

Stayed at Wadham cottage for a week last year,the cottage is perfectly placed on Bourton-on-the-Water front street,the drive is quite narrow and a large car may have to fold the wing mirrors in,you have a decent sized allocated car space beside a grassed area but is not dog secure, the cottage is OK,the kitchen is small but nice and clean with just about everything you need,the sitting room was small dark and dated and very noisy from passing traffic and people until late on and the church bells constantly ringing think it was every 15 minutes and Sunday from approx 6am ringing out songs ,both bedrooms where nice and clean with comfy beds but little storage space,the bathroom was ok but maybe needs replacing,Bourton-on-the-Water is beautiful with a lovely river which our doggy loved,Bourton had a couple of takeaways, a Co-op some small shops and 4 or 5 decent pubs with tourist prices,there are many lovely places to visit near Bourton, will visit Bourton again but not Wadham cottage

Worth mentioning that access is via the back door to building not front door.

When we arrived we collected key and went to open front door but couldn’t get in. Phoned the owner and she said it’s actually the back door. Was great visit, perfect location, parking was really good to have at property, a little tight to gain access to it via side of house but was fine, may be tight depending on type of vehicle you have. Overall though lovely cottage and really enjoyed our visit. Would definitely recommend the cottage and would be more than happy to stay their again.

Lovely place to stay, very comfortable and cosy.

Only downside my daughter was disappointed the climbing frame had gone.

The cottage is perfectly located just a walking distance away from the village centre.

You’re close to restaurants, pubs, shops etc., but far enough from the hustle and bustle of tourists. The cottage provides all facilities you would expect from home i.e. WiFi, tumble dryer to compliment the washing machine. In general our stay was a lovely experience except for one aspect that we had to rate it 4/5, and Comfort a

Lovely cottage, ideally situated.

As it was really hot when we stayed a fan for the bedrooms would have been helpful. Beautiful garden and very comfy beds.

Great cosy little cottage .

Loved our stay here and it’s only a short walk to the centre of the village with an abundance of bars , cafes and shops .

The cottage was lovely and quite "homey" so we felt comfortable there.

The owner rang to make sure we had settled in OK which was a nice touch. The village and surrounding areas have a lot to offer and we really enjoyed out visit. There were a few little niggles but they didn't spoil the holiday at all. 1. The sofas springs are getting worn 2. The bath is set too close to the head wall to allow one to lie out comfortably. It would be better replaced by a shower unit. 3. The front door Yale lock is loose and sometimes sticks when entering the property. Overall very happy.

Would stay at the cottage again location great some good NationalTrust property near by

The check in times are too late it ruins the 1st day of your holiday !

!! A 2pm check is is the right time !!

Fridge inadequate.

Sofas uncomfortable.

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

The listing was completely accurate, the booking process as easy as can be and the cottage wonderful. We had a most fabulous week and would go back in a heartbeat. The location was so central and yet so peaceful, the cottage was so wonderfully equipped and presented and was spotless. We really can’t fault a thing!

The shared garden was a real benefit and we all had a lovely week, including the children.

The cottage was very comfortable and the beds were especially so. My only negative point is not the fault of the cottage - but due to the proximity of the clock tower, which was very nearby and which chimed every 15 minutes 24/7, I found it impossible to sleep on the first night. It is a lovely sound, but for me it was the repetitive and persistent nature of it which was troublesome during the night. After I got hold of some earplugs, that solved the problem for the rest of the week! I would quite like to have known this in advance so that I could have got some earplugs before I arrived. That said, noone else in the family seemed to mind!

Location especially was excellent and we enjoyed walking into the village many times.

The cottage was warm and cozy. The village itself is beautiful and it’s very easy to explore the surrounding area. Lots of attractions for the children. Many places to eat and drink and watch the world go by.

A real Cotswolds cottage, cosy and in an ideal position for easy access to the beautiful village.

The cottage was beautiful and conveniently located.

On our first morning I received a call from Tony - one of the owners to check if everything was ok and to provide useful local insight. This was a nice and unexpected touch.

The cottage nestles between two others.

It is a really pretty place. Off street parking makes life very easy and the whole town is just footsteps away. Inside the furnishings are lovely, clean and, comfy. Everything you need is to be found. The WIFI is ideal for those evenings on social media. There is a simple back garden too if you just want to sit outside of an evening. We had a week at the cottage and it was soon home from home, at the end of the week we were sad to say goodbye to our cosy retreat.

Absolutely great place,the only negative comment would be the cold tap on the bath hardly gives out any water at all so when using the shower to wash hair can be abit tricky but apart from that it was a lovely charming place.

A beautiful cottage in a good location.

Spent lots of time wandering around Bourton-on-the-Water enjoying the surroundings.

This is a lovely cottage in an excellent location for exploring the Cotswold's area, and we enjoyed our week holiday.

The cottage is clean and comfy, but quite small if there were 4 adults sharing, it is best suited to two adults and two children as the 2nd bedroom is accessed via the 1st bedroom. We would suggest that the bathroom could be updated to have a showerscreen, and the access to the parking is really quite tricky. We have a 4 x 4 car and getting to the parking space was 'snug' to say the least, (with wing mirrors turned in, we had 3 inches on either side of the car !!)

the drive way is not good if you have a big car the cottage is all right if you are all family as you have to go through the double bedroom to the second bedroom the stairs to the second bedroom is a bit sreep for older people the cottage is on the main street and you can get ot the shops and all the attractions in walking distance it is a very pretty village and has everything you need from food shps cafes takeaways and pubs.

The location of Wadham cottage was very good a stones throw from the centre most places were dog friendly the cottage was lovely and clean and the owners family were nice and friendly too would recommend to friends

Nice cottage in a great location.

Smaller than it looked on the photos, so would thought it would be a bit cramped with 4 people. Not much room to sit in the living room. Thought it needed a bit of updating, the bathroom would have been better with a proper shower not just one in the bath. The road was busier/nosier than I expected. Overall nice place to stay in a lovely village. Lovely walks from the door with the dogs.

It would be useful to list how narrow the entrance to the parking is.

A large car would struggle.

Just back from a 3 night stay at this lovely cottage.

Ideally situated right on the high street in the village. We didn’t need to use our car. Lovely walks nearby. The cottage had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. Lovely large shared garden. Only thing that we would have benefited from was chairs to be able to sit outside but we had a picnic rug with us. Fantastic stay. Thank you

cottage was very cosy and clean with every facility I required.

The location so close to the centre of Bourton was fabulous.

We loved the location, it was the nicest village in the area, and plenty to do in the area.

we had a lovely relaxing time.

The property was ideally situated and it was great that they allowed pets. I would have preferred a property with its own enclosed garden so that I could let out the dogs into the garden and not worry about them.

Only scored a 4 for the cottage because it was a lot smaller than I thought and my partner (who is tall) struggled with ceiling heights!

Really enjoyed our stay in your lovely cottage.

Hope to come again

What a great week we've had!

A lovely cosy cottage. Perfect location. Would certainly recommend.

An all too brief stay at the start of half term.

Enjoyed good weather and some lovely walks. Had a delicious meal at the Rose Tree and enjoyed a lovely day at Westonbirt Arboretum, amazing colours.

Perfect cottage for a small family.

Cosy, central and very convenient for the attractions of Bourton on the Water. Our little boy loved the Model Village and Cotswold Wildlife Park

Lovely week at Wadham Cottage!

. Picnics by the river and a nice meal at the village restaurant. So much to do in the village. A great spot!

We have enjoyed a few days visiting some lovely Cotswolds villages - Broadway, Stow, Chipping Campden and Burford.

Thank you to the caretaker for a spotless cottage

Enjoyed a lovely week here, despite the weather!

Love this area, this is our 7th visit to the Cotswolds, well worth the long drive from Scotland. We have enjoyed this very comfortable and very well equipped cottage, so nice to be able to wonder in and around the village.

A relaxing week at Wadham Cottage.

We only live an hour away in Warwickshire but could be in anotehr time zone here! Despite lots of rain, we enjoyed walks around the area. Cross the bridge past the motor museum and a few hundred yards later you are on the Windrush Way. This lovely walk follows the river behind Bourton and back in a short loop to the cottage on for miles following the river upstream.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights here at Wadham.

We on an extended trip from Australia so it was great to experience an English cottage and have a home away from home! The new couches are really comfortable and the wifi was terrific for getting in touch with home and making further travel plans! We had fun exploring the local villages, Stratford and walking to and from The Slaughters.

Our second stay in this perfect cottage.

\ \ \ Great transport links, the bus from Bourton to Cheltenham. The train from Moreton in Marsh to Oxford.\ \ \ Highly recommend the Duke of Wellington pub in Bourton always serves a good meal.\ \ \ Our stay in the Cotswolds always includes a trip to Daylesford Organics.\ \ \ Looking forward to staying in 2015.

Couldn't fault the cottage

Very close to the centre of Bourton -on-Water.

The cottage had everything you needed for a stay. Close to all we wanted to see and do

The cottage was ideally situated, with good parking and facilities.

Very well stocked with everything we needed.

We've booked again…for the 3rd time!

Ideal location. Sam & Ben loved it. (Our Lurchers). Mr Keogh, June 2017.

Great to find this place!

Lovely & cosy, well stocked with everything we could need & brilliant location! Just the break we needed.

The cottage provided an excellent base of holiday operations.

There are great walks around the village. Had a great stay.

We loved staying in your cottage - thank you!

It is cosy and close to everything we needed, including the start of our walks.

Had a lovely 2 week stay here.

The cottage is lovely & cosy and we have no complaints. The kitchen is well stocked and we love the layout. Such a beautiful location and a comfy cottage! All in all, it's been lovely and a pleasure to stay here, so close to all the shops and the river so that we could go for lovely evening strolls and feed the ducks. We hope to be back soon.

Nice few days, cottage very comfortable and warm.

Wadham cottage, lovely spot and making ourselves comfortable before exploring.

Thanks for a lovely stay.
