We had a super stay at Burghfield House. The house is so very spacious, pleny of room for grandchildren and grandparents to do their thing. The kitchen is remarkably well equipped and two fridges which was helpful. The beds are very comfortable and the duvets and linens soft and snuggly. Zoe was very helpful with our enquiries. The location of the house is great, on the edge of Bourton next to beautiful countryside. There was a footpath down to the town next to the house which was great but a bit of a challenge with the pushchair in the watery conditions!!
My recommendations would be like others have said, a shower in the bath or a hand held shower attachment. We were fully aware of the situation and we took a plastic jug to rinse the children's hair. A dryer would be good too. We used the airer supplied in the kitchen which worked well but even with wellingtons and puddlesuits the grandchildren got muddy! I would also replace the armchair in the lounge.
A great house and we would definitely stay again.

The house itself was lovely!… on arrival we found downstairs toilet blocked which caused major problem for one of our disabled guests!
Pillow’s definitely need replacing… sofas not good for anyone over 40 who has problems getting up and down, they were so low!..
Positives good selection crockery and cutlery, nice big lounge, lovely log burner… beautiful outlook… if changes were made might consider returning.

We enjoyed our stay. Lovely place. However, most rooms had cobwebs on ceilings and light fittings. Downstairs toilet was not in use which wasn't ideal. Lack of mirrors in the bedrooms, those that did weren't near socket to use hairdryer.
If these points could be addressed we definitely would stay again.

We had a super time at Burghfield Cottage which is ideally situated for Bourton on the Water.

The cottage is spacious inside with a lovely garden outside to enjoy.

Both StayCotswold and Zoe, the property owner, were most helpful and we would happily recommend their services and the cottage.

The house is quaint and close to town, however, we found the beds hard and the downstairs toilet not working. For 9 people this was an issue. We were informed prior however, we received no compensation for the inconvenience. Only 2 showers which are in 2 bedrooms, so others have to go into others room to shower.

Common bathroom only has a bath but should install a shower for large numbers.

Thank you Craig for your review of your recent stay at Burghfield Cottage. We are disappointed to read that you found the beds hard, mattresses can be a personal opinion. StayCotswold did notify you in advance of your stay about the downstairs toilet not working and we apologise if this was an inconvenience. The accommodation layout on the website describes that the property has a Master Bedroom with a shower in the Ensuite and Bedroom 2 with a shower in the Ensuite, and Bedroom 4 with a bath. We will pass your feedback onto the property owner. We hope you will return to the Cotswolds soon.

It’s all perfect!

We had a great weekend away for 5 couples for a milestone birthday event. The property manager was extremely helpful in organising enough plates, glasses etc for our stay and even additional ice in the freezer before our arrival but more than that, due to the distance some of our party had to travel we were granted early access to avoid them having to hang around unnecessarily on a Friday afternoon and we were also granted a late checkout at no extra cost. For a weekend such as this, it was invaluable.
Yes the house is a little dated in places and a couple of the bedrooms are very small and cosy, but we felt the pricing reflected this and it wasnt an issue.
The gardens are lovely and there is enough seating around the garden, the lounge and the dining room to accommodate 10 adults.
Overall everyone had a fantastic time.

Though Sat Cotswolds gave us the 'What 3 Words' to find the cottage, we were unable to use this as there is very little signal in the area, and struggled to find the cottage, the cottage name at the end of the drive way would help, that said the location is beautiful and the cottage is lovely, it had everything we needed for out family of 10 gathering. Yes it's true that the cutlery is mis match as well as the crockery, but it is not lacking in any way. Although it was fairly fresh outside, inside we were nice and cozy. Zoe was my contact during our stay and was easily contactable, for any queries and was very pleasant to liaise with. Overall we had a great time exploring and just chilling.

This is a wonderful spacious cottage made all the better by the Christmas tree and decorations that had been put up
There were ten of us and we can’t speak highly enough of the comfort and amazing time we had
The rooms were spacious and clean and no complaints apart from the pillows being too soft
It is within a 10-15 walk to the village and a similar walk to the large co-op supermarket
It was a shame that it was the coldest weekend of the year and prevented more playing of pool in the summerhouse!! But the house was warm thankfully
Special thanks to the property owner Zoe who was of great help and advice

The house was located down a little road so was deliciously quiet and calm.
It’s very spacious, and cosy.
The bedrooms were all nicely appointed, with good showers and a bath.
The living space was large, and airy. With a log burner, we could easily keep snuggly warm.
There’s a reasonable cooker, and a selection of pots and pans. Not the best for cooking at home, but workable.
There was a mishmash of glassware, and plenty of large plates. It would definitely benefit from a complete set of red/white/water/flute glasses, and a matching set of crockery. There were no side plates, for example. There were some dessert- sized unmatched plates, so we got by.
The place is great for entertaining because of the space. It was lovely!
Perhaps as hoteliers, restaurateurs and hospitality people - well, perhaps we’re a little critical with crockery, glassware etc but in an entertaining space, it’s really important.
Thanks for a great stay. We loved being there, and the town is such a treat!

We had a lovely stay in the Cotswold! The house was beautiful but unfortunately not very clean which was a shame. Everything in the kitchen was sticky! We wanted to fry an egg but the pan was filthy and unusable. I had been traveling and wanted to wash some clothes but the washing machine was so dirty that I didn’t want to put my clothes in there. The rim was totally black of mould & dirt. The kitchen was very spacious but needs some tlc (tender, love & care) The living room was very spacious and comfortable but the windows extremely dirty which was a shame as it didn’t do any justice for the house. The bedrooms were ok, but some mattresses not comfortable. The beds were made in a hurry as none of the covers where sipped up & towels where a mix match and stained. Two bedrooms had an en-suite bathroom with showers but the 3rd bathroom had only a bath which needed to be shared with an other 3 bedrooms, so we ended up all sharing the 2 bathrooms with showers. The decor was average and not much love put into it, which was a real shame for such a beautiful house in a stunning location. The outdoors was nice but again the bbq was left dirty hence we didn’t use it! Overal we had a lovely stay and didn’t let the negative overrule the positive but I don’t think I would recommend this house to friends.

We stayed mid week as a family of 9. We were in lunch with the weather too and hence had a lovely time both inside and outdoors. The village is about 10 mins walk away from the cottage. Like what others have said, the furniture needs updating.

We had a lovely time in Burghfield Cottage; just right for a get together of friends.
The cottage is down a narrow lane towards a nature reserve, so it was quiet yet near the village and the Co-op. The access is down a slope and in though some gates, easily done but worth noting if arriving in the dark! There is ample parking but if more than 2 cars there'll need some manoeuvring to get out again!
There were a few things missing from the kitchen, Zoe was great at bringing a corkscrew though! Hopefully the other things will have been replaced by now. It was strange there were no bathmats despite other reviewers mentioning their absence, and I would wish there was a mirror in every bedroom.

Great house/location. Great 4 a grp. Would be lovely in summer as very private. Needs some extra hanging space in downstairs bedroom / needs some kitchen utensils updating ie large frying pan/ large teapot and ovens need a deep clean once or twice a year as needed to clean before using. Overall though 8/10.

We had a 3 night family stay to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. There were 10 of us (8 adults, 2 children) and we all had a lovely time. The house is very comfortable and well equipped and in an ideal location being about a 10 minute walk from the village. Bourton itself is a lovely place to visit and we also found the service from StayCotswold excellent.
