  We absolutely loved our stay!

  On arrival we were greeted with a lovely warm, clean house with everything we needed to start our holiday such as; tea, coffee, butter and milk plus some added luxuries too which were very appreciated! We read through the welcome pack which was helpful, there is lots of space in the back which we felt could have included how the house should be left e.g where the cleaners wanted the towels, what temp the heating should be on, where the key should be left, hopefully we did everything right. Also a few local leaflets for days out would have been super helpful but not too much of problem given the WiFi. There were a couple of very minor issues in the bathroom; the window was either stuck closed or quite stiff, we didn't force it for fear of not closing it again. There was also some mould on the bottom of the shower curtain and around the bath. The kitchen was really well equipped and appliances were easy to use. The extendable dining table was great when we did lots of food for all of us. The house was in a great location, the kids loved watching the stream train go by on occasion. We walked to a local Italian restaurant and then onto a cocktail bar (Tabu) which were both amazing, as was Queens Fish and Chips. Overall a very good stay and we'd happily book again!! Huge thank you to the owners for great hospitality.

  Absolutely lovely cottage.

  We had a lovely stay at Barton cottage. Was a short easy walk into town. Parking was fine, we managed to squeeze the rear of our car into the space in order to unpack and then parked just over the road. The cottage was comfortable enough, beds very comfy and had everything we needed. Was very cozy in the evenings with the log burner going. As it was Christmas time when we came, the cottage was decorated for Christmas with lovely little ornaments dotted around and a Christmas Tree which was lovely. There was also a very generous welcome gift of biscuits, milk and wine etc in the fridge. I loved all the little extras, such as honey and jam for your toast and tea, coffee, hot chocolate and Alpen. Those sorts of things were a lovely touch. My only feedback (and I really am clutching to find something) is you could do with another arm chair to sit 4 people comfortably of an evening. The sofa can squeeze 3 people but it would not be comfortable. Also, the shower head is very low, I just about got underneath at 5 foot 5 but my husband is 6 foot 2 and had to angle it in a way that causes water to miss the screen completely. It needs to be raised as high as possible. Other than those things, this cottage is perfect for a stay in Bourton-on the -Water. Very comfortable for a very good price

  This little property has been nicely renovated in a contemporary yet cosy fashion.

  It's not a large cottage so I think it would have been a tight squeeze for four adults, but for two of us and the dog it was great. Lounge was great with its comfortable sofa and one of the largest TVs we have had in a cottage. Wifi was fine. Appliances all worked well in the kitchen. Plenty of hot water for baths and showers. Towels were large and fluffy. A blind was missing in the larger bedroom, so expect to get woken by sunlight the moment the sun rises. Also, the instructions for putting out the rubbish and recycling weren't correct. We were told to put both rubbish and recycling in a bin marked "SC". However, there wasn't a bin marked "SC". Every other cottage we have stayed at has had either an exterior bin for recycling or some kind of container within the property. I feel it's important to recycle to protect our children and grandchildren's futures, so I would appreciate total confidence that recycling is actually being recycled rather than just being thrown away.

  We loved the well equipped, comfortable and very spacious cottage.

  There was a lot of attention to detail and the equipment was of very high quality. The flowers, milk and biscuits were very gratefully received and a lovely touch. Thank you. Lovely views and very clean. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars for cleanliness is that there was a lot of dog hair from a previous pet, and general debris under the furniture in the lounge which we found when we dropped something under there. The other issue was the recycling from previous week had filled the blue bin outside so we had to collect ours up indoors with nowhere to put it once the internal bin was full. We did leave a note to say that some kitchen scissors would be useful but a minor point - as would a slip mat for the shower which we went out and purchased to avoid a nasty accident. Overall a lovely cottage and we would definitely return - there are a lot of things to do in the area and we didn’t do them all in one visit. Thank you for a great stay in a lovely cottage.

  We had the most delightful stay a couple of weeks ago at Barton cottage.

  We arrived to a lovely welcome pack and the cottage itself was just perfect had everything we needed we did a fire the first night (as we have a woodburner at home ) but think we must of done something wrong as every time we opened door to put more wood on smoke came billowing out so we stopped using it but it’s probable something we did wrong, the shower was lovely the beds were comfy the kitchen had everything we needed and we just managed to get the car on the drive with a few manoeuvres but we got it on there, the location of the cottage is just perfect for Bourton the mousetrap pub pretty much next door is a great little dog friendly pub we also ate at smiths of Bourton lovely food and we had a drink at the Dial house which was beautiful and friendly too ,the village is very dog friendly and it’s a great location for visiting other places too we will definitely be back and will stay at Barton cottage again. I thoroughly recommend Barton Cottage
