    Beautiful cottage on a quiet part of the street. We were only a few minutes walk to Main Street Bourton, a grocery store and bus stops. It was a perfect location with all the amenities you need for a home away from home. The host John was very responsive to our questions and extremely helpful. We stayed for 2 weeks and would definitely stay here again. The cottage was pristine inside and everything looked brand new.

    Wonderful Location

    Beautiful accommodations. Quiet but still close to the town center. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. Nearby footpaths for wonderful scenic walks. Of all our visits to the Cotswolds villages this was by far our favorite. Easy communication with the host. Would absolutely stay here again

    We had a lovely short break in this property. It had everything we needed and the location was brilliant. Comfy, clean and well equipped, there was even a Christmas tree which was a nice touch! Despite the freezing temperatures outside, the house was lovely and warm and the welcome flowers and cookies were much appreciated. I would definitely recommend this property.

    Bourton on the water

    Two years ago stayed at West Lavender cottage and this time stayed at East Lavender cottage. Both provide lovely clean accommodation with all the equipment you need for a restful stay. It is just a very short walk from the main street in Bourton and very convenient for visiting many places in the Cotswolds.

    Great location to explore the Cotswolds. It was lovely to return to the Lavender Barn every evening. This is a perfect location for wandering and enjoying Bourton on the Water restaurants and amenities. The property is super clean and fully stocked with everything a guest requires. We highly recommend it and will likely return.

    Had a great time here. The highlights were 2 of the suggested walks from the Information Centre. The cottage was very comfortable and close to town. The key safe was difficult to open but that was the only negative thing. Overall it was excellent.

    Lovely Home in Perfect Location

    This lovely home is perfectly located in walking distance to the town center and right next to a wonderful grocery store. It has all the amenities needed for a family or friends who want to cook, make coffee or do laundry. The washing machine and dryer are fantastic and the host provides detergent. So nice to have a microwave and dishwasher as well. Love the outdoor seating area which is private.

    This was a fantastic stay. The house is really well equipped with everything needed for a holiday stay whether for a few days or longer. The rooms are all very comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of cooking equipment and a large fridge and freezer. I really appreciate how simply furnished the property was with large windows making it light and airy. The only slight issue was initially getting into the property, but everything was fine once in. The property's location is excellent, away from the busyness of Bourton centre which was only 10 minutes walk away. It also has a large Co-op supermarket at the back of the property and it is in easy access of walkways into nature.

    The location couldn't be more perfect. It's about a 5 minute walk from the centre of town and 5 minutes away from a large grocery store. We really appreciated the 3 toilets and 2 ensuites. The bath was divine and skylights kept that fresh air flowing. The double bed was quite uncomfortable for the first few nights, but after we decided to flip it, we realized it was the wrong side up! Don't let that happen to you. What a great stay! We would absolutely return!

    Beautiful Bourton

    Easy to find and access, and extremely clean - probably the cleanest holiday cottage I have ever stayed in. Property is in an excellent location, just a shirt walk from the centre. Baby/child friendly with cot and high chair available to use. Only points of constructive feedback is that the kitchen could do with some sharper knives and some of the doors/locks could do with some TLC
