    “Never had such a relaxing week.”

    Spotlessly clean and a comfy bed. Private enough to just switch off despite the awful weather. A big thank you to our hosts for sharing your little piece of the Cotswolds. Great base to see many of the local places. Could have stayed another week which says it all. Say hi to Molly who made us smile. We shall be back to this hidden gem .

The property has a driveway with parking for one car, and the entrance is down the side of the property through a gate.

Enter into the sunroom/ conservatory, where you can enjoy dinner with a view or curl up on the sofa with a good book and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet.

The picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water is known for its traditional stone houses, and offers attractions such as the Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection, The Model Village, where you can discover a miniature replica of the village, as well as Birdland Park & Gardens, Greystones Farm Nature Reserve and Salmonsbury Meadows SSSI.

The village of Bledington is also nearby, offering a traditional pub and a 12th Century church, as well as being a popular location for walkers, due to its location within the Evenlode Valley and being part of the Oxfordshire Way route.

The market town of Stow-on-the-Wold sits on top of an 800ft hill, at the junction of the main roads running through the Cotswolds, including the Roman Fosse Way, which runs from Exeter to Lincoln.

There is a selection of shops and restaurants, as well the Medieval St Edward's Church, historic market square and Fosse Gallery, while the 17th Century Chastleton House, owned by the National Trust, is within easy reach.

Chipping Norton rests within the Cotswold Hills, with a museum and an open air swimming pool, as well as being close to the Fairytale Farm attraction and just a few miles away is the university city of Oxford, which is a must visit.

Another popular tourist attraction is also within reach - the Cheltenham Festival is a meeting in the National Hunt racing calendar, with race prize money second only to the Grand National; the four-day festival takes place annually in March usually coinciding with St Patrick's Day and is particularly popular with Irish visitors.

Molly's Bit is a lovely couple's retreat for exploring the Cotswolds, no matter what you choose to do.

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 where you can enjoy a trip to the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens. 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.
