“Lovely place to stay, very comfortable and cosy.”

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

Mr Li August 2021

“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

Ms Blyth July 2021

“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.

Mrs Mcnair July 2021

“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 .

Mr Cavanagh June 2021

“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.

- Mr Cavanagh, June 2021

Thank you for taking time to leave your comments on Wadham Cottage. We will pass your niggles onto the owner. Manor Cottages Owner relations
Mrs Morris October 2020

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

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

- Mrs Morris, October 2020

Thank you for your comment. It is vital the cottage is cleaned whilst strictly adhering to Covid 19 guidelines, this takes longer than usual and therefore we have had to adjust the check-in time accordingly from 4pm to 6pm We have a large amount of properties to get ready and will not compromise on standards during this very difficult time.

Mr Mortimer September 2020

“Fridge inadequate.”

Sofas uncomfortable.

- Mr Mortimer, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at Wadham Cottage. We take all feedback seriously, but the pictures and website does show the size of the fridge and with regards to the sofa, it's personal preference like beds. Nether the less we hope you enjoyed the stay and area. Owner relations
Miss Billings September 2020

“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!

- Miss Billings, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at Wadham Cottage. We always love to hear how much our guests have enjoyed staying and it's a lovely location. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Owner relations
Ms Skidmore July 2020

“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!

- Ms Skidmore, July 2020

Thank you for your feedback with regards to Wadham Cottage. It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay, it's a great location to explore the Cotswolds. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Owner relations
Mrs Jackson October 2019

“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.

Thank you for the lovely comment, glad you enjoyed your stay! Owner relations
Mr Hodgson September 2019

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

- Mr Hodgson, September 2019
Mr Billington August 2019

“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.

- Mr Billington, August 2019
Mr Verlander July 2019

“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.

- Mr Verlander, July 2019
Mr Wainwright July 2019

“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.”

- Mr Wainwright, July 2019
Mrs Curtis June 2019

“A beautiful cottage in a good location.”

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

- Mrs Curtis, June 2019
Mrs Ormiston June 2019

“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 !!)

- Mrs Ormiston, June 2019
Mr Diver June 2019

“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

- Mr Humpage, May 2019
Mrs Eyre May 2019

“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.

- Mrs Eyre, May 2019
Mr Walden April 2019

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

A large car would struggle.

Ms Littler April 2019

“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

- Ms Littler, April 2019
Ms Dakin

“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.

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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

About the location

BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER

Stow-on-the-Wold 4 miles; Moreton-in-Marsh 8 miles; Chipping Norton 13 miles; Cheltenham 15.5 miles.

Located in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the historic village of Bourton-on-the-Water dates back to Neolithic times with over 100 buildings being Grade II listed or higher. The picturesque high street nestles alongside the River Windrush over which several low stone bridges span, which is why Bourton-on-the-Water is known as the Venice in the Cotswolds. Tradition states that an annual football match is played in the summer, in the River Windrush with the banks lined with spectators, with the aim to score as many goals as possible and get as wet as possible! The village has an eclectic range of visitor attractions, including The Model Village, Cotswold Motor Museum, Birdland Park and Gardens as well as a Dragonfly Maze, monthly farmers’ market as well as many tea rooms, an artisan bakery, antiques and craft markets, traditional sweet shop, cycle hire and its very own perfumery. Nearby, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises traditional England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly farmers' market. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antiques shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Also take a visit to the medieval town of Burford for a great day out. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are both within easy reach and make a great day out. The spa town of Cheltenham is, architecturally, the most complete Regency town in England with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called The City of Dreaming Spires has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens. Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also all within easy reach.

Note: Limited Mobile coverage, although signal available outside. There is a landline in the cottage for local calls (honesty box)
Note: Please note that there is an outhouse to the rear of the cottage which contains the washing machine and tumble drier.
