Really lovely cottage, great location. Used the what three words and found the cottage straight away. Angus and Kim were great in sorting out a small issue very efficiently. Would go back again.

We had the most incredible weekend away at the Holly Cottage. The beautiful, cosy and picturesque cottage made for a wonderful homely stay, equipped with an absolutely stunning Christmas tree! The cottage was clean, lots of information provided, great location & walking distance into Bourton On The Water and comfortable furnishings. The hosts were lovely and so helpful! We loved visiting this Cotswolds escape & we’re hoping to return next year!

Amazing location only about a 10-15minute walk into Bourton, but be aware it is uphill on the way back. The oven trays and the coffee machine need a clean, but all of the glassware and crockery were fine. Overall a lovely cottage and great value for money, perfect for what we needed on a long weekend. In Bourton we would highly recommend The Croft for breakfast or a mulled wine, and The Cornish Bakery for a coffee and pastry!

Overall our stay was disappointing for many reasons. To name a few, boiler off on arrival and the cottage was very cold, uncomfortable mattresses, poorly stocked kitchen equipment. Location is a bit out of the way, I think they should make it clear that ‘what three words’ is the only way you’ll find this cottage as we got lost using the postcode in our sat nav, the cottage wasn’t lit for the outside so very dark checking in.

We stayed at the cottage for a long weekend on our first visit to the Cotswolds. The cottage was everything we had hoped for. It was well appointed, great location.. a short walk to Bouton on the water where we found some greet pubs and places to eat. The maze is a must - great fun even for adults!
We were all very sad to leave and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again .

We had a lovely stay at Holly cottage. It was in a great location for walking down the quiet road to the village centre, the road is quite steep to walk back up though. The outside area was great for our 2 smallish dogs to have a run around. The boot room as you walk in is a fantastic asset with a downstairs toilet and lots of hooks for hanging coats, dog lead etc. Kitchen was very well equipped but there wasn’t a microwave. (We don’t use a microwave very often anyway) The cottage was roomy and clean. We had to stream TV, this is not something I’m used to, but got the hang of it. We gave the loft room and en-suite to our daughter to use to give her, her own space. My husband and I stayed in the double room. There wasn’t any storage in that room so had to use the wardrobe in the twin room which was fine but could have been awkward if someone was in there. The double bed we didn’t find very comfortable - a bit creaky, so we tried the twin beds but they were worse so back to the double we went. Our daughter did say her king bed was very comfortable. The stairs need to be taken with caution and the saniflo toilet in the loft can sometimes run too long, running a little water down the basin stops it. All in all we had a good stay and would stay again. The small issues didn’t bother us but might be useful to others. Also the window in the upstairs sitting area doesn’t close completely - needs looking at before winter sets in.

Everything we asked for and more. Lovely cottage with very comfortable beds. Nice and warm so we sat out in the garden. 5 mins drive to the village. Lovely pubs and restaurants to enjoy.

Overall the cottage was fine. However it was unusual not to find a microwave or hairdryer. The kitchen was clean (except oven tray that had been left dirty)but the house needed a bit more TLC. We were surprised to find dead house plants in en-suite and all others were in need to severe watering. The floorboards were lovely but noise level very disruptive in the first floor at night.

We only stayed for two nights but really enjoyed this traditional cottage in the Cotswolds - we particularly liked the outdoor space and enclosed gardens
