  • "We are a family of 10 of mixed ages."

    lovely property and a very good location for Bourton on water. Really clean and absolutely everything provided, plenty of very nice crockery. We went in October and the heating was very efficient - lovely flame fire in main room We all enjoyed staying there Parking was a bit tight. We had three cars. Two go on the front and one goes on a space where bins are put out on a Monday for collection

  • "We had a fabulous family stay in Robins Nest, in what was probably the hottest week this year!"

    ! From 70 year old grandparents, 40 year olds, teenagers right down to our little 2 year old. The property was perfect for us, spent lovely balmy evenings sat in the garden with beer and wine flowing. 10 minute walk into lovely Bourton-on-the-Water and a visit to Jeremy Clarksons, The Farmers Puppy and Hawkstone brewery. Highly recommend this property for a family get together.

  • "It was a family break celebrating special birthdays and it could not have been more idyllic A short walk into the centre and a lovely outdoor space to sit and relax with a cuppa."

    All the rooms suited us well and although there are some steps on the ground floor they did not cause any issues for our disabled family member.. Sad to leave and hope to be back in the future

    Spacious house with everything you need (apart from scissors, which we struggled to find!). Wonderful location - a little retreat away from the crowds, with lots of beautiful places to explore on the doorstep. Highly recommend - would go back

  • "We were using Robins Nest for a siblings get together."

    My wife had stayed at the property before and had spoken highly of it. None of us were diss appointed. The house is lovely and was perfect for our stay. Also being so close to the center made it an ideal location. One small point, we did find it difficult trying to open the front door, it took several attempts every time we returned

  • "We had a problem with the toilet & plumbing on second day, so messaged cleaner as Sykes would not give me the owner's number."

    They did not come out until our last day at 8.30am?? This is not acceptable. We only had 1 bathroom & downstairs toilet all holiday as the toilet would not go down and the sewerage was overflowing all out the drain every time we used kitchen sink and all over the drive. The smell was horrendous. all weekend. The bath towels were tiny and the bathroom/toilet windows need to be frosted . so we don't av to pull blinds down every time we use the toilet. It is a shame at is in a lovely area and house is nice

    Sincere apologies regarding the drainage issue. I can hand on heart say I did my absolute best to get a drainage company to attend over the weekend and were let down. We pay a company for a reactive call out service and they have failed us this weekend. As such, we have cancelled our contract with them and acknowledge that the service to rectify could have been quicker. Sincere apologies for this. We really do hope you will visit us again to enjoy the property. Best Wishes Property Owner

    It was cold during our stay but the cottage was really easy to get warmed up, and we also appreciated how well equipped the kitchen was.

  • "A beautiful property very close to the village."

    It is spacious and very attractive with lots of space for large families or groups. A well equipped kitchen and lovely dining room and lounge. As it’s a traditional cottage it is naturally quite dark inside but we were lucky enough to enjoy beautiful weather and could enjoy being out in the spacious garden. We couldn’t however find the cushions for the outdoor sofa.? My only criticism would be the towels were quite small for adults and the window in the downstairs toilet faces the road and is clear glass. The blind had to be kept closed! Overall a perfect location and a very pretty place to stay. We would definitely return.

  • "Robin's Nest is a wonderful, well equipped house in an idyll location."

    We had everything we needed for a superb week long stay and will be re-booking for a return visit soon. Initially I thought that only 2 showers for 10 people would not be enough but it worked out well. Also, inspite of detailed instructions, it was still confusing knowing what recycling to put where! And the parking wasn't clear but we were always able to get 3 cars parked. We had beautiful weather and it was nice to be able to sit outside having morning coffee or afternoon tea. A huge bonus was being able to walk into Bourton-on-the-water, especially during the weekend and Bank Holiday as the traffic through the village was particularly busy then. Definitely a 5 star property.

Complete with a pet-friendly garden, characterful living spaces, and flexible sleeping arrangements, Robins Nest makes a wonderful abode for a group of ten, well-positioned near a variety of amenities and attractions in the heart of England.

Benefit from ample off-road parking for four cars, ahead of reaching your new, delightful home-from-home, encompassed by pretty blooms and a well-presented garden.

Step indoors to reach the well-equipped kitchen/diner, where you can prepare meals and spend time with your loved ones, before gathering around the formal dining table; with beams overhead, exposed stonework through, and a gas fire to light, a homely feel runs throughout the property.

If you'd prefer to dine outdoors, set the patio table, and bask in your surroundings, before cosying up in the sitting room, with plenty of plush seating available to gather around the TV or delve into a good book.

As day turns into night, prepare for sleep in either the bathroom or ground-floor shower room, before catching some rest from one of five bedrooms on offer; select between three doubles and two twins, dotted across the ground floor and first floor.

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.
