  • "My friend had stayed here before and this stay didn't disappoint either."

    Located on the edge of Bourton on the water but close enough to enjoy everything the village has to offer and the nearby surrounds. The house had everything we needed and was an excellent base. Would definitely recommend!

  • "Really comfortable stay, excellent location just on outskirts of village with a very short walk to the village."

    The host (Geordie) was quick to respond via WhatsApp and made sure we had everything we needed.

  • "What a fabulous place!"

    Lovely and warm (the real fire is amazing) and full of character. The rooms were well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. It was easy walking distance into Bourton-on-the-Water which has an abundance of really good places to eat, nice pubs and a supermarket. We had a very relaxing stay here and would highly recommend this property.

    Hi Eleanor, thank you so much for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to relax, we hope to welcome you again soon. Best wishes, Geordie Property Owner

  • "We had a fantastic time at The Lantern."

    You could tell that the owners had put a lot of thought into the property. We especially liked some of the little details like the train in the bathroom and the historic finds in the dining room! The whole place was so cosy. Modern, but also retaining loads of character.

    Hi Rebecca, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this feedback. So pleased you liked the historic bits we found whilst renovating the property. Hope to welcome you again soon. Best wishes, Geordie Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at the Lantern."

    The cottage was comfortable and clean. The host was very nice and friendly. A great location, nice walk into Bourton. Our second visit this year. We love coming to the Cotswolds. Plenty of lovely walks with our dog and National Trust places to visit. Just have to point out that there is no shower in the bathroom with the bath. Which was a problem for our friend who was staying too. It is in the description and photo. So it needs to be changed. However, we would recommend the cottage to family and friends.

  • "Lovely cottage - a real 'home away from home'."

    Loved the decor in the lounge and all the furniture was comfy and clean. (The only small suggestion I have is that you should include the Nespresso machine in the amenities listed so that we would have known to bring our own pods).

  • "A fabulous location … a very short walk to Bourton on the Water and it’s amenities."

    Central for exploring the Cotswolds. A beautiful property with a lovely garden. The owner contacted us when we arrived and was available incase we needed anything, although there was an information pack which covered everything you might need. The property itself is very comfortable and we felt immediately at home. It’s well furnished and equipped. We spent 3 weeks there and the owner arranged weekly housekeeping at our convenience. This holiday and accommodation fulfilled all of our expectations.

    The cottage is beautiful. Full of character, charm and spotlessly clean. The cottage has everything you would need with comfortable beds, lovely toiletries and pet friendly. The location is perfect, a 5 minute walk into town. Bourton on the Water is a lovely little village with plenty of lovely pubs, restaurants, tearooms and shops. Lots of walks and a short car journey to other villages that you might want to visit. Would definitely stay again if we come back. Thank you.

    The cottage was very comfortable, tastefully decorated and well equipped. The lounge was so cozy and a bonus to have a large tv screen which is not always the case in holiday cottages! We particularly loved the dining room with amazing stone heated floor. And the quirky train in the tunnel in the bathroom wall! All in all a perfect cottage and would highly recommend.

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.
