A wonderful cottage, with great amenities, in a quiet and calm part of town, but only a very short walk into Bourton. Perfect.

We had a lovely break at the Cottage. It is a lovely cottage in the middle of the village so a great place to base yourself. It was clean and had everything we needed and will look to stop again for a longer time to explore the local area

We found the lovely Briar Cottage all as expected and more after experiencing a fabulous seven nights stay in the wonderful Bourton On The Water or as we now call it (Bourton In The Snow) following the very festive weather we experienced and so enjoyed during our stay in December 2022. We are certainly Intending to book again soon.

Everything about this cottage is great, location, very quiet but steps away from the bustle of Bourton. Very clean and well equipped, would be considered again should we visit the area.
