Cotswolds weekend
We were welcomed early to the accommodation even though it was not quite ready in order to access the fridge and leave our cars whilst we did some early exploration. The location is fantastic on the high street in Boughton on the Water which is typically picturesque. We also enjoyed the surrounding area without using the car by having a leisurely stroll to the Hawkstone brewery.
I would recommend this property for the location and convenience.

Christmas Visit
Fabulous cottage so cosy and welcoming and it had been decorated for Christmas which was a lovely touch. The location is brilliant with a 1 minute walk to the shops , bars and restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed will definitely be back. There is a Bed n Breakfast next door which is the same owners but you wouldn't know as the cottage is private. All round lovely visit to a beautiful part of the country.

Perfect Manor Close Cottage
Not sure were to start, the cottage was amazing, it was immaculate, had everything we needed was well equipped, comfortable, and lovely welcome from owner on first day. Location was perfect, a very short stroll to the centre where you will find boutique shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Would highly recommend and booking of the cottage was easy too. Wish all self catering accommodation was to this high standard, no one will be disappointed. Thank you for a lovely stay.
The property is beautifully furnished with extensive bathroom facilities. It's perfectly positioned near to the centre of Bourton on the Water.
A perfect central for our walking holiday.
Shower pressures were rather low.
We had a really lovely stay in this cottage. There was plenty of space for both of us, and all of the house was super clean and had everything we needed. Arrival was super easy as I arrived quite late, but the key was easy to find and it was great to have designated parking. All the information I could've ever needed was in the visitor book.

Perfect!
The cottage was spacious with everything we could possibly need. Opposite a lovely old church with quaint clock chimes. Easy, short walk to very pretty village centre with food shop, plenty of places to eat and a few visitor attractions. Lovely owners too. Would love to return one day.

Spacious, clean, very comfortable and in an excellent location
We were very impressed by Manor Close Cottage. It was spacious, clean and very comfortable.
The owners were lovely, very pleasant and friendly.
Everything provided was to a high standard, washing machine, dishwasher, crockery, cutlery, towels and bedding.
The location was great. Set in the grounds of a lovely garden and very near the centre of Bourton on the Water, which was a pleasure to stroll around - especially in the evening when the crowds had gone.

Couldn’t be better
Beautiful home so close to everything but so quiet, we mainly used the buses to get out and about which stop very close to the cottage. Would recommend as a good option. Not far from many attractive spots. Bourton very busy at the weekend - book for your meals so you won’t be disappointed. The cottage has lovely big rooms. Plenty of space for all. Bonus was en-suites to both bedrooms and extra bathroom downstairs. Suggestion - empty cupboard for food storage in kitchen. Otherwise perfect!

Exemplary accommodation .
Easiest review we`ve ever done in 25 years of hiring cottages. There is nothing negative to say about this lovely cottage in a prime position in the ever popular Bourton on the Water. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. 2 very large family bedrooms both en suite sleeping up to six. House was very nicely heated and furnished . There were good spacious showers and plenty of hot water. The lounge tv and wi-fi worked well.
The large kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we could have needed during our stay.
The cottage is located off the main road with private parking and is but a hundred yards from the very hub of the village with all its amenities restaurants and pubs.
Reassuringly, in the unlikely event of a problem the owners live at the adjacent property.
Overall we had an excellent, quiet, and extremely comfortable mid week break and without a doubt will be returning next year.
