Weekend wedding
The house was in a good location, although no street parking on the road. Not the best house for 9 adults, but it was okay for what we required, also we were able to book for the days we needed. We had a couple of problems that were actioned promptley. The driveway is not ideal for 4 cars due to it's length, we did a lot of car moving!

Great location and nice spot for a family get-together
Great location within a stone's throw of Bourton on the Water centre and useful to have 4 parking spots. Good sized rooms and very nicely furnished. Great to have 2 comfy sitting rooms which means those that wanted to watch the rugby didn't disturb the rest! Admin was all very clear except that it took us quite a while to find the keysafe as we didn't know it was in the garage. Kitchen was very slightly disappointing - not hugely well-equipped (nothing to serve with eg big spoons or ladels - although there were 3 rolling pins!) and could probably do with a deep clean. Some instructions for the range cooker would be helpful as some of the writing around the dials has worn away. 2 other very minor niggles - the main bathroom door could do with a lock (or at least be able to shut properly) and the step down to the main bedroom is quite deep and a bit of a risk for elderly (even those that can normally manage stairs). But this is just meant to be helpful feedback - overall, a really lovely place to stay and thank you!

A perfect cottage in great location
Three generations of our family found this the perfect cottage for our weekend. Lots of space for the little ones to run around. Enough rooms to offer lots of flexibility for sleeping arrangements and for larger groups to have their own space. A few minutes walk to the centre of town with lots of restaurants and pubs and a very well stocked Coop.
