My husband and I had the most magical stay for our 20th anniversary. The cottage is adorable and cozy. It is so close to the waterfront while not being right in foot traffic. So many restaurants, within just a few minutes. Easy access to many footpaths. Easily the most charming and wonderful vacation we’ve ever taken. We plan to bring our children back with us in the future.

A true gem. Bourton on the Water is a bustling tourist village. Hidden on a very quiet Lane a mere 200 yards from the action lies Well Cottage. It boasts a large yet cozy living and dining area, an efficient kitchen and two spacious comfortable bedrooms. The full bath sits downstairs. The steps are somewhat steep making nocturnal visits a bit challenging but fully manageable. The shower is over a deep tub needing a bit of a climb, but again manageable. A key to this property is the off street parking. Few have it and we considered it a must. It did not disappoint. This property is a ten all the way. Highly recommended. I’m

Our stay at Well Cottage was like living in a fairytale! The 15th century cottage has been updated with modern conveniences while maintaining its traditional charm. The location provides quiet privacy yet is only a two minute walk to the lovely River Windrush with clear water moving over stones and water fowl of various kinds. On either side of the river are shops and restaurants that look the same as they have for centuries and the pace of life is both restful and restorative. The real joy is with the people of Bourton-on-the-Water…and, their gentle dogs. You will feel a happiness and a welcome that is genuine and special in the English countryside! Back at the cottage after you excursions you can nestle in and cook in the well-furnished kitchen, read, watch tv, work on a puzzle or play games, all generously provided by the host! She is easy to access and quick to respond with any question or need. Check-in and check-out are clearly explained and once inside the cottage you find a binder with information explaining everything you need to know about the cottage in amazing detail. Tip: Plan your stay for as long as your holiday permits because you will not be ready to leave!

A cottage full of character with a homely feel in a fantastic location. Its an easy short stroll to the village & having off street parking was great. Bourton on the Water is a quaint village & a great base for exploring the whole Cotswolds area. Our hosts Dawn & Bette were very responsive & helpful especially when we had a door key issue over a weekend and the welcome gifts are a lovely touch. We're glad we chose Well Cottage for our stay.

Absolute GEM of property!! The perfect Cotswold cottage! Immaculately clean and beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. Quite a bit bigger and even nicer than the photos show and ceilings are much higher than expected. No stooping required at all. Beautiful linens and excellently appointed/organized kitchen. So much attention to detail! We were so comfortable in this delightful cottage for our week in Bourton. Oh, and the GARDEN! It was to die for: irises at their peak followed by a profusion of peonies, lavender, thyme and forget-me- nots abound. Dawn and Bette took great care of us. What an utter treat!
