About this property

South Winds - sleeps 7 guests in 4 bedrooms

South Winds has classic, refined interiors in a tranquil location just moments from the heart of one of the Cotswolds’ favourite villages, Bourton-on-the-Water. Close to the centre of this romantic town known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’ thanks to the River Windrush which flows directly through it, this country hideaway is perfect for those looking for some peace and quiet.

You will be drawn to the light-flooded, open-plan kitchen which leads into the large suntrap garden. This bright and airy space with a natural solid oak dining table is perfect for bringing generations of families or friends together. Opening the doors to the living room you can expand the space and create a fabulous area for spending time with your fellow guests. The snug is a cosy hideaway for anybody wanting to watch an important football game or for the children to entertain themselves. Upstairs each bedroom has been lovingly furnished letting you feel at home, with the added benefit of a ground floor en-suite double bedroom to suit a multitude of families.

Two sets of French doors encourage you outside to the flower-bordered, south-facing garden with views onto the surrounding Cotswold countryside; with a patio, garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ. You will be hard pushed not to immediately want to fling open the double French doors and collapse onto the Rattan furniture (maybe making a G&T on the way!). Grab a blanket when the sun goes down and you can continue to enjoy the outdoors for hours feeling snug.

Ground Floor

Kitchen/Diner:
Flooded with light this spacious living area has a glass roof lantern and two sets of French doors opening onto the rear garden. The dining area is a fantastic space for entertaining with room for all guests to sit together for hearty meals. While dinner is being cooked in the well-equipped kitchen, relax on one of the armchairs at the end of the room as you wait to be served.

Utility Room:
The utility room keeps some of the household essentials out of the way with a washer/dryer and ironing facilities stored here.

Living Room:
Open the French doors to the living room to create a wonderfully sociable space. Here you can laze on the corner sofa watching TV or play a board game with the family. It is the ideal place to spend evenings when you want to stay in.

Snug:
Bring your games console and escape to the snug room which features a 32” Smart TV, comfy sofa, DVD player and stereo.

Bedroom One:
The ground floor bedroom is hidden away through the snug and has a cosy double bed. Suiting those with limited mobility it also has a handy en-suite.

En-suite:

First Floor

Bedroom Two:

En-suite:
The en-suite to bedroom two has a bath with a shower over and is kept nice and warm with underfloor heating.

This bedroom has a king-size bed and welcomes you with views out its dual aspect windows. Storage is provided with an open wardrobe and there are bedside tables for setting your morning coffee while you enjoy reading for a while.

Bedroom Four:

Shower Room:
Shared between guests in bedroom three and four, the shower room has a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, hairdryer and vanity mirror.
