A Peaceful Cotswolds Retreat

Tucked away on the peaceful outskirts of Bourton on the Water, often described as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’, this beautifully appointed holiday home offers the perfect base for families or friends to relax, reconnect and explore. Just a short and scenic stroll from the heart of the village, the property is ideally located to enjoy the many delights of the local area. These include cosy tearooms, traditional country pubs and family-friendly attractions such as Birdland, the Model Village, the Dragonfly Maze and the Cotswold Motoring and Toy Museum.

Arranged across a single level and framed by gentle countryside views, this light and spacious home offers comfort, privacy and practicality in equal measure. It features three generously sized bedrooms, comprising two king rooms and one twin, an open plan living and dining area with a classic Cotswold wood burning stove, a well-equipped kitchen, and a separate study for reading, relaxing or working quietly.

The kitchen is ideal for sociable gatherings, with a central island, bar stools and a breakfast table. French doors open directly onto a sunny terrace that leads to a beautifully maintained private garden. This is a perfect spot for morning coffee, long lunches or evening drinks. The large lawn offers plenty of space for games, relaxation or simply enjoying the peace and quiet. There is also a private driveway with carport, providing space for up to six vehicles.

Inside, large windows and elegant décor create a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The dining area comfortably seats six for leisurely meals, and the living room features two generous sofas for restful evenings after a day exploring the countryside. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with a bath, bidet, toilet and basin, while the main family bathroom has a modern walk-in shower.

The property has been a successful and highly rated holiday home since 2023, previously holding a five-star review status on Airbnb. It is now proudly hosted by Fi and Annabel at Honeydrop, a boutique property management company offering thoughtful service and local insight. Guests can expect excellent communication, personal touches and a warm welcome from the moment they book.

To help you make the most of your stay, a digital guest guide is provided, featuring curated recommendations for exploring the Cotswolds. From picture-postcard villages such as Stow on the Wold, The Slaughters and Bibury, to scenic walking and cycling routes, award-winning country pubs and iconic landmarks including Blenheim Palace, Daylesford Organic, Diddly Squat Farm and Soho Farmhouse, the area is brimming with experiences to suit every interest.

For children and the young at heart, there are plenty of options nearby, including Cotswold Farm Park, Cotswold Wildlife Park and Fosseway Play Barn.

Whether you are seeking a peaceful rural retreat, a base for outdoor adventures or simply time together in one of England’s most beloved regions, this inviting Cotswold home is the perfect place to begin. We look forward to welcoming you.
