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. 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.

The downstairs is lovely and the kitchen is extremely well equipped. The stairs are very steep and a little challenging and access to the bathroom and second bedroom through the main bedroom makes it a little less private. We were 4 very good friends so not a massive issue for us but probably may put us off stopping there again. We really enjoyed our stay though and the price was very good. Overall a great stay.
