    “Thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay, with the house been in a good location to walk into town and travel to surrounding areas.”

    House is nicely furnished and spotlessly clean with plenty of space to accommodate guests comfortably. The back garden, with table and chairs was great for our dogs to get outside. The 2 parking spaces were a bonus. An overflowing skip belonging to the next door neighbour was a bit of an eyesore and will hopefully be emptied soon, although nothing to do with Bow Cottage or its owner. These are not criticism, but may be useful for future guests - Neither of the extractor fans in the ...

    House is nicely furnished and spotlessly clean with plenty of space to accommodate guests comfortably. The back garden, with table and chairs was great for our dogs to get outside. The 2 parking spaces were a bonus. An overflowing skip belonging to the next door neighbour was a bit of an eyesore and will hopefully be emptied soon, although nothing to do with Bow Cottage or its owner. These are not criticism, but may be useful for future guests - Neither of the extractor fans in the bathroom and downstairs toilet worked. As we were 2 couples staying in the property, a long mirror in the 2nd bedroom would be useful, along with 2 more pillows for the bed. Would definitely revisit again if we were going to stay around the same area.

The property

Bow Cottage, a Cotswold stone three-bedroom cottage sits within the historic village of Bourton-on-the-Water, in a beautiful part of the Cotswolds.

Bow Cottage is warm and inviting, with exposed honey-coloured stone walls, and Farrow and Ball colours throughout, it is an ideal place to call home for a family of six looking to escape to the country.

Upon arrival you will find two off-road parking spaces directly outside the cottage, allowing you to easily unload your belongings.

Step inside and make yourself comfortable in the lounge, with honey-coloured stone and a centre fireplace, this is a lovely space to unwind and chat about the day's adventures.

Allow the house chef to cook up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen with dishwasher; there is even a washing machine for your laundry.

Move upstairs and choose between two double bedrooms, each beautifully presented with original feature walls.

The stunning bathroom with stone, feature walls, has a freestanding, slipper bath and large walk-in shower, together with a traditional basin and WC.

On the ground floor there is a single bedroom, and an en-suite shower and handbasin, making it ideal for elderly or less mobile guests; there is also a ground floor cloakroom with WC.

The safe, totally enclosed rear garden is covered with Cotswold stone and has a raised deck to catch the late afternoon sun and to enjoy a glass of wine.

At the front of the cottage there is an outside charging point and a shower for our four-legged guests.

With direct access to the village and walks to the Slaughters from the gate, Bow Cottage is well-placed for a Cotswold experience.

For those who enjoy Clarkson’s Farm, his Hawkstone Brewery and Tap Room is a short, flat walk away, a perfect end to a walk in the countryside.

Head into the heart of the village and stock-up on your essentials at the Co-Op superstore, or why not sample a hearty meal at a restaurant, with The Rose Tree Restaurant, Kingsbridge, or The Dial House to name a few.

There are some fantastic attractions that await you, including The Model Village, Cotswold Motor Museum, as well as the Birdland Park and Gardens.

Three miles away lies Stow-on-the-Wold, an ancient market town that offers a bustling farmers market, tea rooms, antiques, and craft markets and plenty of well-established eateries.

Hiking and walking come in abundance here, offering routes through idyllic villages and trails overlooking the countryside.

Break away to Bow Cottage and experience this delightful part of the Cotswolds.

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.
