A dream come true!
If you want to feel like you are starring in your own movie in a charming English village, book Well Cottage! The cottage is situated in the most perfect location. I did not have a car. So I spent mornings on long walks and then a nice lunch in the village. Then "home" to Well Cottage to rest my back in comfort, have a nice hot bath and then an evening out or reading in front of the fire. I slept so deeply( beautiful linens) in a very cozy bed. The street just behind the village and the Windrush is quiet and private. Some people will stop and take photos because the cottage and garden are dreamy. Don't hesitate. Book it.

Cute and convenient
Loved the character and the wood fire. Bedrooms upstairs and bathroom downstairs. Not suitable for small children. Ours were 10 and 12, so no problem. The cottage is small but that appeal to us. Off street parking was a bonus. 2 minute walk to the delights of Bourton on the Water

This is a very special Cottage full of history and almost magical with a very warm homely feeling. We loved our stay and the scones cream and jam that was a surprise on arrival. So close to everything very friendly country feel to this Village. Was delighted to meet you Dawn and have a chat we would love to return someday. If you’re looking for a country cottage in a wonderful Village with lots of character look no further. The added bonus is a warm fire for a cosy night in with a local wine. Make sure you visit The Den great service and wonderful Cappuccino’s with a hit of real chocolate at the end just delicious. Karen and Nick

Perfect spot for the Cotswolds!
We absolutely loved our stay here! Its location is ideal being walking distance to several shops, restaurants, and trails and a great spot to explore the Cotswolds! The cottage was clean, very comfortable, and had every thing we needed to cook, do laundry, etc. Also they had some puzzles and games which was a bonus during our cozy evenings after a busy day of exploration. Highly recommend!

Fantastic location!
Really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful 16th century cottage. It is conveniently close to the village centre, and several walking paths, which we appreciated. Bette and Dawn are lovely hosts, and left us homemade jam and bread upon our arrival. Would definitely stay again. Thanks!

Wonderful cottage and hosts
The cottage is a gem in one of the prettiest and most visited villages in the Cotswolds. Our wonderful hosts had left a fresh loaf of local bread, local eggs, and home-made marmalade for us. We look forward to another visit from across the pond.
