  • "We really enjoyed staying in this cottage."

    There was absolutely everything we needed and it is also in a very convenient spot. There is a vast choice of places in which to eat. The neighbours were very friendly and helpful too! Bourton is a very picturesque village and has plenty to do - Birdland, Motoring Museum, Model Village.

    Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Callow Cottage. It's lovely to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and it's a great base to see some of the sites local to the cottage. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

  • "The cottage was well equipped (except no hairdryer as advertized and we needed this as we were from the States) and in a great location."

    We were advised that there was a water stain on the property due to upstairs bathroom leak. I actually stayed in the top floor bedroom, and while it is a lovely room, I can see why there could be a leak. The tiles were not properly laid and need to be regrouted and sealed. Other than that, our stay was wonderful and we would recommend Callow Cottage to our friends. I hope the owner fixes the tile issue because that was a mighty big water stain.

  • "Very nice cottage in a good location and off-road parking."

    Very clean and well stocked kitchen. It took us a couple days to figure out the appliances even with the notebook. The WiFi info is on the router and the book is wrong. We could not lock the back door. We did enjoy our stay in Bourton otw.

    Thank you for your feedback and we're glad you enjoyed the cottage and location. Thank you also for bringing to our attention a couple of issues which will be addressed and we hope these didn't impact your stay. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely holiday in this well positioned property."

    We enjoyed the short walk into beautiful Bourton-on-the-Water. The provisions for our arrival were much appreciated too. We didn’t use the outdoor space to the rear as it was a little neglected, and less ‘stuff ‘ in closets/cupboards would have been preferable . Some washing machine instructions would also be helpful as it wasn’t really self explanatory. Apart from that, Callow cottage is very comfortable space and suited our family of 6 well. It was an excellent location to explore Cotswolds generally or simply relax in the stunning area on the doorstep.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased to hear you enjoyed the location of the cottage and are sorry to hear of the issue you encountered with the garden, we will ensure that our maintenance team attend to this as a matter of urgency. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope to welcome you back to The Cotswolds. With best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

  • "The property was in a great location."

    Generally very clean and well maintained but there were a number of light bulbs not working and the gate in the back garden is damaged. The rear garden would also benefit from a clean and tidy. I also asked for one of the bedrooms to be made up as a double but this had not been done when I arrived at the property

    Thank you for your review and we hope you enjoyed your stay at Callow Cottage. We appreciate your feedback and will pass on your comments regarding the issues raised so that hopefully we may welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay."

    The property was very clean and tidy and had great little touches like some shortbread and coffee pods well stocked on arrival. There were no unpleasant surprises and helped us to enjoy a really lovely village. The space was fine for our family of five. Everything worked properly. The rear garden is small but we didn’t use it anyway and the rear fence was in need of repair but we had literally just had a huge storm the day before.

Arriving at the property you will be welcomed by a private driveway which hosts two cars as you load your luggage into the practical entrance hall, perfect for storing coats and shoes, before moving into the bright and airy sitting room, containing a warming woodburning stove, Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime subscriptions and dining table; the room is finished to a contemporary style and is perfect for curling up on the sofa with your loved ones and feeling the warmth from the woodburning stove.

The well-equipped, country-style kitchen is a great space for you to show-off your culinary skills, before gathering with your group at the dining table in the sitting room to plan your exciting trip itinerary.

Completing the ground floor is a useful cloakroom housing a basin and WC.

As the evening grows darker, retire to the first floor where you will find two beautifully presented bedrooms; bedroom two hosts a double bed and bedroom three has a twin (which can be changed to a king-size on request) and has views overlooking the street below.

Look forward to escaping with your favourite book with a hot soak in the bath, before heading off to bed.

Up a second flight of stairs, in the eaves of the property, you will find the master bedroom which has an inviting super-king-size bed where you can chill out with your loved one and catch up on your favourite show on the Freeview TV, and boasts a tastefully-decorated en-suite bathroom complete with a roll-top bath for you to indulge and relax in.

In the morning, head out into the garden for some fresh air, as a gentle slope leads out from French doors in the living room into the pretty courtyard garden; the delightful outside space features fragrant flowers in hanging pots and is home to two Rattan furniture suites, and a gas barbecue to take advantage of in warmer months.

Bourton-on-the-Water has been regularly voted one of the prettiest villages in England and is known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’, home to a wealth of attractions and shops, restaurants and tea rooms, such as Cotswolds Antiques and Tea Room and Coach & Horses pub.

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.
