As you enter, the generously proportioned living room is both grand and inviting, with beautifully balanced dimensions that create an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication. It is a space designed for slow mornings with coffee, cosy evenings after countryside walks, and effortless entertaining. Every detail has been carefully curated to ensure comfort without compromise.

The sleek, fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into a stylish dining area, creating an open yet intimate setting for long breakfasts, celebratory dinners, or relaxed suppers with locally sourced produce. Contemporary finishes sit harmoniously alongside the property’s character, resulting in a space that feels both elevated and welcoming.

Upstairs, we have two bedrooms, beautifully designed to offer a serene sanctuary with calming tones to ensure deeply restful nights. The home also offers two beautifully appointed bathrooms, with stunning features and premium products to provide a true boutique experience.

Perfectly positioned on Victoria Street, we are just moments from the charming cafés, independent boutiques, traditional pubs, and picturesque riverside walks that make Bourton-on-the-Water one of the Cotswolds’ most beloved destinations. Despite its central location, the property offers a sense of calm and retreat, an ideal base for romantic escapes, stylish getaways with friends, or indulgent countryside breaks.

Outside, we have two patios, one with its own grass lawn. Complete with table, chairs and parasol to enjoy as you wish. It is important to highlight that grass lawn area is not fully secure for dogs as it is only lined with hedging as opposed to a fence or wall so please be mindful of this. The front/side section, which is paved is fully secure for dogs though!

There is also the added bonus of two parking spaces here, ensuring our guests can park safely and securely.

We have on site electric vehicle chargers enabling you to charge your car seamlessly while staying with us. This is with voltshare so all you need to do is download their app and pay to charge when you need to! Please note there’s an additional charge to use the EV chargers.

We have a foldable cot here but please note we don`t provide cot linen, or a cot mattress, so you will need to bring your own if you plan to use the cot.

Please note, whilst this property is dog friendly, we are only able to accept one dog. Please enquire with our team if you would like to bring more than one dog.

This place was a dream. We couldn’t get over how charming and beautiful both the cottage and the town were. The place is actually much more spacious than the pictures convey. I thought it would be a tiny little cottage, but it actually feels quite roomy and quite comfortable. Two bedrooms upstairs are a good size and there’s also two full bathrooms upstairs as well. The town is the best Cotswalds town to stay in, in my opinion, although to be fair, there are quite a number of visitors that come through during the day for day trips, so it was pretty bustling while we were there. We absolutely loved our stay here!
