"Had a short stay, weather certainly helped the cottage had everything you would need although ate out didn't use cookers etc
This cottage is situated very central for Bourton on the Water and you pass a couple of restaurants before reaching the centre itself would recommend The Croft if want good breakfast and La Reine for lunch/ snack."
You will find the parking space invaluable whilst staying makes your stay much easier than trying to find car parks
Overall would recommend Kate's Cottage for anyone considering a visit to Bourton on the Water
Thank you for your review and recommendation

"Lovely cottage."
We have been coming on holiday to Bourton for 20yrs and Kates Cottage rates very high on the list. Everything you could possibly need very very clean and comfortable. Having 2 car spaces was a bonus. The only thing was that in the 2nd bedroom needs a bedside table a mirror and shelf would be handy. These are only minor things otherwise excellent. Would come again and again. Thank you for sharing your cottage.
Thanks for taking the time to provide positive feedback it’s always appreciated

Kate's cottage has firmly lodged itself in amongst our favourite ones. Nice and quiet but only a few minutes walk from cafes, pubs and the river. The cottage itself had everything we needed. The lounge was spacious which was great in the evening when we went back for a rest. Parking is easy for unloading. A perfect stay!

"Delightful crockery - but could do with more plates and mugs."
We had some problems with the heating system. Something is needed to explain the controls on the thermostat in the living room.
The directions for finding Kate's Cottage are very bad. We understood the statement that it is '7 Victoria Terrace' as meaning that we were looking for a street called Victoria Terrace. It needs to be made clear that the cottage is in Victoria Street, which contains this terrace of eight houses called Victoria Terrace.
Regarding the crockery there should be 6 of everything , this will be addressed if this is not the case.
As for the hive heating thermostat we will provide additional instructions.
We will also speak to Sykes Cottages to improve the directions to the property for future guests.
Thank you for your overall good feedback on Kate’s Cottage and constructive comments.

"Spotlessly clean cottage."
Situated within minutes to centre of village yet on a quiet street. Well equipped with everything you would require. Comfy king size bed. We parked at the front as it was easier to access. Nice touch was the milk and lemon drizzle cake on arrival. Cottage was ideal for what we wanted. Bourton on the water is a lovely place. Should we return we would definitely use Kate's cottage again. We had a lovely holiday.

"Great location and well equipped property."
Super clean on arrival and easy access into the property. The decoration although clean could do with a facelift, as wood chip on all walls and ceilings is somewhat out dated. A great plus is being able to park on drive of property. Great quiet location and just a 2min walk to pubs and restaurants in town. The Cotswolds is no doubt a beautiful part of the country with Bourton on the water being my favourite town of them all.
We are pleased you enjoyed your holiday in the Cotswolds.
Sorry to hear the woodchip wallpaper was not to your taste but we decided to maintain the property in very good condition in keeping with the cottage style of it’s era.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
The property was very nicely furnished. The area was very quiet even though it is only a few minutes to the busy village centre .
The information pack and accompanying books about the Cotswold area really help with ideas of where to explore.
The cake and milk welcome pack was a lovely touch. They also supplied, coffee, tea, sugar, plenty of toilet rolls, foil, cling film, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and a selection of cleaning equipment. The supply of these very essential items was not added to the properties details. I think this would be a very welcome addition as it reduces the items you might bring with you at self catering accommodation .

The lounge is large and comfortable, and the kitchen/dining area is well equipped. The main bedroom upstairs has a very comfortable double bed which is a generous size, and the second bedroom is adequate, although we didn’t have need to use it. The various items of equipment were easy to use, and the heating easy to adjust. The village is very pretty, there is a large supermarket about 1/2 mile from the cottage, and very interesting shops in the village. There are plenty of places of interest in the immediate area.

"The property was clean except for the kitchen floor which was sticky to walk on."
The chest of drawers in the main bedroom had a sticker on it saying faulty do not use this looked like it had been there for a while, all the drawers were collapsed, so there was nowhere to put clothes very unsatisfactory and disappointing the bedside tables were cheap metal garden tables . The toilet seat in the downstairs cloakroom was unstable and moved when sat on. The welcome pack was a packet of chocolate biscuits and a pint of milk, the milk was 5 days out of date!!
Thank you so much for your feedback and I am so very sorry that you had some issues. While the bedside tables are as per the advert picture, I will certainly be discussing the other issues with my management property team now that I have been made aware and will have them rectified immediately. I do send out two contact numbers pre arrival and leave another contact number at the property and I am sorry that I wasn't given opportunity to help you on this occasion at the time of your stay.
