Planning your stay in Bourton-on-the-Water

Regularly voted one of the prettiest villages in England, Bourton-on-the-Water is located in the rural and beautiful Cotswolds region, in the heart of England.

Our idyllic village is a popular tourist destination that offers plenty to see and do for visitors of all ages, from shops, restaurants and tea rooms to its famous model village, model railway museum, and Birdland attraction.

Very much a place with its own pace of life, Bourton is a place to slow down and truly relax. Enjoy an ice cream on the banks of the River Windrush, which runs through the village, sit with a coffee and people watch, or take a stroll around the lakes.

Getting around the Cotswolds

Some prefer to see the Cotswolds on foot, some by bike, and some by car. Bourton-on-the-Water is well suited to all options – there are beautiful walks, great cycle rides, and if you want to travel further afield, many scenic drives.

The Cotswolds and heart of England offer activities and attractions for all tastes, depending on how far you’re prepared to travel. Bourton is central to a number of popular tourist towns and villages, including the Roman attractions and Thermae Spa in beautiful Bath, the theatres and Shakespearean connections of Stratford-Upon-Avon, and the university town of Oxford, not to mention Cheltenham, Chipping Campden and the New Forest.

Oasis of tranquillity in heart of city

Beautiful luxurious and comfortable apartment in the heart of city centre and beside theatre, an amazing selection of restaurants and cafes as well as an Everyman cinema and great bookshops. Apartment well sound proofed and ventilated with good shower, modern light fixtures and incredibly comfortable bed. Fluffy towels with bathrobes, Dyson hairdryer and cream tea on arrival all added to the experience. Sky TV and Netflix along with large Dvd collection and Sonar sound system available. Enjoyed reading the welcome pack and John is clearly a details orientated person who takes pride in providing his guests with an excellent stay. Stayed here for a few days for the Cheltenham literature festival and highly recommend!

Incredibly relaxing in a great location near all amenities within walking distance

Arkle is so beautiful, with all the home comforts you could hope for. We were left scones, bread, milk, clotted cream, and eggs; such a thoughtful and lovely touch. Thank you so much, John.

Fabulous and can’t wait to return

The property was stunning. Very very clean. Beautifully presented. Lovely and warm on arrival on a chilly day. The bathroom was beautiful and big. A lovely double shower. Some really nice food left for us as a welcome pack which was totally unexpected but a lovely surprise. The Scones, jam and clotted cream especially, delicious. We can’t stop talking about our stay and how lovely everything was. The tech and Wi-Fi were very good. The host goes above and beyond to make this a special stay and is very passionate. If I carried on I would run out of space to write. Highly highly recommended. We will be returning. Thank you so much

Very cosy apartment

We loved the apartment! The facilities were excellent and very high quality. The attention to detail is amazing such as the scones, welcome pack, speakers in the bathroom, comfy mattress and bath robes. The staff were very accommodating and attentive. Location was fantastic. I would say it is one of the best apartments i’ve ever stayed in. I couldn’t recommend enough.

Jake

A wonderful stay

Location - Couldn't be better. Comfort - Exceeded expectations. Cleanliness - Top notch. Hosts - Extremely detailed and non intrusive. They took care of needs we didn't even know we had. Wish we could have met them and thanked them in person for their hospitality. The Christmas tree in the apartment and food items in the refrigerator were above and beyond. Thankyou.
The only thing to keep in mind is that the apartment is accessed via stairs. While this wasn’t a problem for us, it might be something to consider if you're traveling with heavy luggage or older individuals who may find stairs challenging.

Excellent apartment in a beautiful village

Great clean accommodations in a great convenient location. Very clean, comfortable, and secure. They've thought of many things. Nice welcome assortment of food (scones, clotted cream, jam, eggs, bread), rain gear and torches if needed, video library, clothes detergent, alarm system, etc. Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful apartment in village centre

The property had everything we needed. Equipped with high-tech gadgets such as smart home lighting control through to state of the art stereo equipment and electric sofa. Kitchen with everything you need. It was well located in the center of the village.

Dalit

Superb from start to finish

Superb location right in the centre of the village. Great welcome package of scones and essentials, lovely apartment with excellent furnishings and fittings to a high standard. Far better than staying in any hotel. Would highly recommend to everyone.

An unforgettable and beautiful place

Everything about the accommodation was perfect. First of all, the location was right in the center of town, so it was easy to catch the bus, and I was happy just sitting in the living room with the view of the stream and bridge outside the window. The recliner sofa in the living room was comfortable, and I was impressed by the tea set, scones, jam, etc. neatly arranged on the table. The kitchen facilities were also perfect, and they even provided eggs, bread, butter, and milk. The bed was comfortable and my husband especially liked the goose down pillow, so he asked me to buy one for him right away. The bathroom was clean and had a separate bathtub and shower, which was nice. We had a wonderful time in this beautiful town and in a wonderful accommodation. This is a place I highly recommend.
