Great place

Lovely place, with excellent facilities and plenty of parking for at least 5 cars with the added bonus of a EV charger. Great to have a dart board and table football in the conservatory.

A perfectly located family retreat

A beautiful home with all the facilities for a three generational family of 9. The grandchildren loved to secure garden. The walk into the village through meadows alongside the river was the icing on the cake. The only negative was it would have been nice to have a barbecue

Beautiful house in the perfect location.

Our stay at Fosseside House couldn't have been better. The house easily accommodated 10 adults and the great weather allowed us to make use of the garden. Each room is stylish and clean, there is ample off road parking and the location allowed for an easy stroll into town.

Fabulous family home

We had a great stay at Fosseside which comfortably coped with our family of 10 adults and 2 babies. Spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. A short stroll from the middle of town and a great base to explore the Cotswolds.

Another stay at this wonderful house

We booked Fosseside House for the second year running, for yet another special family celebration. The house was perfect for the weekend - seemed even better than our first visit. We hired in a chef to cook our Saturday evening dinner - that worked out so well. I cannot praise this house too highly - 100% recommend.

A lovely house , ideal for our family of 10.

Fosseside House is a lovely Arts & Crafts style property which easily accommodated our extended family of ten. It is tastefully furnished with plenty of parking space. The games room proved very popular with the younger members of our party. .

Beautiful house

Fantastic accommodation, all rooms beautifully decorated and furnished, lots of space, very well equipped. Great location. Would definitely recommend and book again. Very minor points, which didn't detract from the enjoyment of our stay - could do with mirror in the main bathroom, twin room a little snug for two adults.

Amazing house!!

I booked this house for my big birthday celebration for me and my family.....10 of us in total. It was a great success for all of us young and old!! The house is in a great location and with so much space we didn't feel on top of each other. The house has been finished to a high standard and feels like someone's home with all the attention to detail. Very comfortable and well equipped. We had an amazing break and would come back again.

The Perfect Stay!

The location was perfect, 10 minute walk from the high street. The house was warm and clean - comfortably fit all 10 of us with lots of rooms and extras like the games room. Modern style and a comfy feel for the autumn months. Would definitely return and recommend.

Great for college reunion

A well-located house that can accommodate 5 couples and has all the necessary equipment - including table football. We could wander into Bourton-on-the- Water easily the whole village from this base.

Lovely house - wonderful stay

We rented the house for a family birthday celebration. It was perfect for us. Spotlessly clean; it provided us with everything we needed for a fantastic weekend (including a games room). A short walk away from the centre of Bourton. Would 100% recommend without hesitation. We will definitely book again

Stayed here as a group of 6 including 2 teens and 2 elderly ladies for 4 nights. Beautiful house. Super clean and comfortable. Very spacious. Very close to Bourton-on-the-water village and great location to explore rest of Cotswolds. Bed in master bedroom was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Bourton and surrounding area is gorgeous. So sad to leave. Would defo stay here again

Stay at Fosseside House

We had a lovely family stay in Fosseside house in Bourton on the water. The house was a 15 minute walk to the town centre. Bourton-on-the-Water on the water has all that you need and a leisure centre too. To manage expectations I would like to point out that the house is located close to the busy A429 which is handy for travel but could be noisy at night especially if you use the loft bedroom and have windows open.

Thank you Mark for sharing your review of your recent stay at Fosseside House. We are delighted to hear that you and your family had an enjoyable visit and made the most of everything Bourton-on-the-Water has to offer, including the leisure centre and the property's convenient access to the town centre. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the property's proximity to the A429. This is helpful information for future guests, as sensitivity to road noise can vary depending on individual preferences and home environments. To assist with this, we’ve provided a location map on our website that clearly shows the property's position in relation to the road. We hope you will return to the Cotswolds soon.

Lovely spacious well located property

Super location for 8 friends on our annual get together for a walking weekend. Loved the space inside and outside. Had fun in the games room on Friday evening playing table football and darts. Bedrooms are spacious and good to have so many bathrooms. Thanks for the welcome pack. Please let people know the type of Nespresso machine in the house.

A wonderful stay

The house is beautiful, tastefully decorated, in excellent condition & has really comfortable beds! It was very clean & well organised with plenty of crockery, cutlery & utensils for cooking meals for large numbers. There was an issue with the heating timer but this was sorted out very quickly. Contact with the owner was great, very responsive & the lovely Dimi came to solve the issue & have the house warming up quickly. He also brought us wood for the fire as well as popping out to get us fire lights & matches. We would happily stay here again.

A home from home in a perfect location

We stayed at Fosseside House for 6 nights. It's so homely and welcoming, with everything you could possibly need inside. The kitchen is excellently equipped to cook a full roast dinner! Several of us needed to work from home for a couple of days during the stay and the house was big enough to let us do that, with no problems with WiFi etc - we even had a room each! We had minor issues with the outside lights, but Eileen went excellent and arranged for someone to fix them before the end of our stay. It's an easy 5-10 min walk into Bourton-on-the-Water, with easy access to other walks, as well as roads to other locations within the Cotswolds. I would highly recommend this house and we will certainly stay there again, if we've in the area!
