SPRING COTTAGE Stone Cottage - Short Stroll into Bourton on the Water

Spring Cottage Sleeps 6 + cot in 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 en-suite. Situated within a short easy stroll into the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water known as 'the Venice of the Cotswolds', Spring Cottage is an extensively and lovingly restored Cotswold Stone property that has all the modern conveniences of a new home whilst still having all the charm and character of a Cotswold Cottage. Beautifully decorated in a modern, comfortable, bright cottage style and fully equipped with everything you will need for a relaxing holiday. With parking for 2 cars (1 large and 1 small or 2 medium sized vehicles), Spring Cottage is an ideal base from which to explore the Cotswolds.

The cottage is within a very short walking distance of all the village facilities. Bourton-on-the-Water village has a zoological birdpark, model village, model railway, motor museum, Bourton Lakes coarse fisheries, perfumery workshop, pottery, children's indoor playbarn, swimming pool, maze and a good range of specialist shops.

The Cotswolds is a favourite holiday destination for many people. It offers something to do all year round and is straightforward to get to and from. Bourton is in the River Windrush valley so has a sheltered mild climate. The river in the centre of the village is a favoured place to paddle and feed the ducks.

Beautiful property in a fantastic location. Everything you could ask for plus extra little touches within the property. Property owners were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us, making us feel very welcome and gave us lots of information about the village. Would highly recommend and would love to go back in the future.

A Perfect Cottage

We chose this cottage for its location, being dog friendly with an enclosed garden and having more than one bedroom and bathroom and having off street parking. However our expectations were exceeded as this was a spotless, well maintained and delightful cottage. The mattresses were very comfortable which is so important. The owner gave me a list of condiments that are supplied thus saving doubling up and kept in touch in case we needed anything. The icing on the cake was an electric car charger so we charged up the night before and got home without stopping. It’s location was so central that you were into the centre of the village in 2-3 minutes gentle walking and we loved the extra touches in the cottage - box of chocs and milk which were greatly appreciated. This cottage tops all other places we have stayed at and we hope to return again.

Lovely cottage in beautiful Bourton- on-the-water

This is our 3rd stay in this lovely cottage. It always feels like home and has everything you need. It’s just a 5 minute walk to the river, pubs, cafes & shops. Communication with the owners is always great and they keep the property very clean and well maintained.

Lovely Property

This is a lovely clean cottage, probably the cleanest property I have stayed in ! It’s well equipped and has all you need for your stay including the essential condiments which you don’t get in other properties. The house is comfortable and everything is in good working order. There are shops within walking distance, walks on your doorstep and in the surrounding area, and many places to visit. Good communication from the owners. Recommend staying here. Shame we didn’t get to use the wood burner.

Truly scrumptious

A phenomenal quaint, well stocked and tastefully decorated home. As a family of three generations we had a brilliant week. The location is great to explore the area whilst the property is also cozy for the wet afternoons where you just want to read a book in front of the log fire. Pre-arrival details were excellent. I cannot rate Lynsey highly enough.

Wonderful Cottage

Spring Cottage was a wonderful place to stay - spotlessly clean and with every amenity you could wish for. Location was ideal, just around the corner from Boughton - on - the - Water Hight street so we didn't need to drive every day - having off road parking was another plus! Lynsey was the perfect host - excellent communication and the little touches, like flowers and chocolates, that make a stay extra special. We will definitely be back at some point.

Excellent holiday cottage

We had a really lovely holiday in Spring Cottage. Communication with the property owners was excellent and we received an email with very detailed checking in information, directions to the property, and a list of everything that is supplied there so we knew exactly what we needed to take. It’s a very well maintained, exceptionally clean, comfortable property in a great location, just 6 minute walk to Bourton-on-the-Water High Street. We didn’t need to use the car at all during our stay as it’s only a short walk to bakery/Londis in the High Street or 10 minute walk to the Co Op Supermarket.

Fantastic stay in The Cotswolds

We had a 10 day holiday with my wife and 20 month old daughter. The house has everything you could possibly need, and the location is perfect. We hardly drove anywhere with a great pub across the road for takeaway food and drinks, and the village centre only 5 minutes walk. The little playground at the back of the house was excellent, our daughter loved it. Lynsey was great answering any questions leading up to our arrival, and during our stay. We were sad to leave.

Perfect cottage retreat in a great location

Perfectly situation just on the outside of the busy but beautiful village of Bourton, the cottage was excellent. Well decorated and really well laid out, comfortable bed, sheets and towels. For the children there is a secret garden gate which backs on to a playground and a larger field. Very cozy dining terrace and all amenities in the cottage were great standard. Perfect!

A fantastic base for a holiday

This cottage was everything we wanted and so much more. The information email before arrival had lots of useful info and listed many of the items included at the cottage which saved us having to pack more then needed. The 2 pint of milk and tea, coffee and sugar were very welcome after a long drive. The chocolate and fresh flowers were lovely touches. The place was spotless and you would never know that dogs often stay too. The town was a short walk away and easy drives to other beautiful places to visit. We had a perfect Mother (87) and daughters (66 & 55) relaxing break away together. Only slight disappointment was that mum couldn’t manage the stairs to the loft room with the en-suite but my sister had that and mum had the double with me in the singles. Wish the weather had been better to enjoy the garden more but maybe next time. Thank you

Look no further, you should just stay here

The pictures do not do the property justice. The whole house is lovely, very well maintained and spacious inside. We didn’t realise how big the lounge/dining:/kitchen area was until we arrived. You are a short walk from the town and an easy drive from many others small villages in the Cotswolds. We will definitely be staying again!

About the host

Hosted by Lynsey Hodgkinson

We live in Lichfield in Staffordshire with our two sons aged 25 and 23. We love the Cotswolds as there is so many lovely places to visit and relaxing things to do. We particularly chose to buy a cottage in Bourton-on-the-Water as we love the convenience of being able to walk into one of the prettiest villages in England with it lovely shops, cafes and restaurants.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Spring Cottage from the moment we walked in. It needed quite a lot of work but we knew it had potential. For a Cotswold cottage, it's a fairly large and it's so light and airy. It is in such a lovely location, being just a short stroll into the village, also it has a lovely south facing garden with direct access onto 'The Naight' which is a large playing field and park where Millie, our 4 year Westie can had a good run around. We especially love being able to walk into the village in the morning to get fresh bread and croissants from the bakery for breakfast. In the evenings we love to walk along the river and have a drink and sit outside one of the bars. The village takes on such a calm and peaceful atmosphere at the end of the day when most of the day visitors have headed home.

What makes this property unique

Spring Cottage is a beautifully restored, traditional cotswold stone cottage in a great location within a few minutes walk to the village.
Spacious open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area where a family can relax and spend time together.
3 large bedrooms
Large family bathroom and ensuite shower room
Lovely south facing garden with garden furniture.
2 parking spaces (rare in Bourton on the Water).
Very central location.
Great to walkers.
Great for those wanting to bring their pet.
Log burner - the cottage is so cosy when this is lit.
Very well equipped with everything you will need for a relaxing and stress free holiday.
