Situated in Bourton-on-the-Water, affectionately known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’, this charming cottage promises a serene stay. With beams and sloping ceilings, there’s no denying this home’s character, but the addition of the conservatory and the contemporary style give it a modern twist. We love the sunny garden, just the spot for morning coffee. Location-wise, the village is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. Visit tea rooms or country pubs, stroll along the River Windrush, or surround yourself with nature at Birdland Park and Gardens, mere steps away – there’s something for everyone here.
