Forsythia is the perfect bolthole for a romantic getaway for a couple, for a family with one child or a group of three adults. The cottage is fitted with every convenience needed for a self-catering stay, from the small but very well laid out living-dining area with its fully equipped kitchen to the two comfortable bedrooms - one standard double and one single - and family shower room. Head through the back door from the main living area to the immaculate courtyard patio. Here you'll find two rattan-style armchairs directly outside the kitchen, while further up the courtyard, up one step, is a stone bench and a circular table with four chairs. Ground Floor Entrance Hall: Step through the front door into a small hallway where there is a large understairs cupboard with hooks for coats and space for boots. Inside you will also find the highchair, cushions for the outside chairs, and cleaning and ironing equipment. Kitchen-Living-Dining Area: This small and cosy, open-plan room has been cleverly designed to provide everything guests during their self-catering stay while maintaining the 17th Century feel of the cottage. The Living Area has two comfy sofas with a gas-fired woodburner-effect stove set on an original stone hearth. At the far end of the room is the Dining Area with a square dining table, two chairs and cushioned window seat, with a lovely view out to the courtyard garden, and a smart TV in the far corner. The fully equipped Kitchen is to one side, with units creating a half-height division between the cooking area and Living-Dining Area. The Kitchen has an electric oven and hob, fridge and freezer, microwave, washing machine and all the small appliances needed for a self-catered holiday. A back door, complete with a full set of antique keys, leads out to the delightful, sunny courtyard garden - making it easy and convenient for carrying out food and drinks for outdoor entertaining. First Floor Carpeted stairs with a handrail lead up to: Bedroom One: This pretty bedroom overlooks the front of the cottage and features a single bed on an ornate bed frame with a bedside table and reading lamp to one side and an armchair and footstool to the other. The room has a custom-built wardrobe with hanging space and a dressing table area with lighting, drawers and a large mirror. Bedroom Two: The cottage's main bedroom is a delightfully romantic room, featuring a standard double bed on a Victorian-style bedframe and two windows providing views down to the courtyard garden. Either side of the bed is a bedside table and reading lamp, while behind are shelves stacked with a great choice of books to enjoy during your stay. The bedroom has an in-built wardrobe with hanging space and shelves and a dressing table with a stool, lighting, a large mirror, make-up mirror and hairdryer. (The travel cot is stored in the wardrobe.) Family Shower Room: The compact family shower room is equipped with a cubicle shower, a toilet, a wash basin, with a vanity unit and mirror, and a heated towel rail. Outside To the front of the cottage is a private, gravelled drive, with parking for one car (or two very small cars parked end-to-end) - a huge asset in the popular village! At the rear of the cottage, through the back door off the kitchen-living area, is a private, sunny and delightful courtyard garden. It has two seating areas: one immediately outside the back door, with two rattan-style armchairs and a low table - the ideal spot for a morning coffee or evening sundowner; and the other at the end of the courtyard with a circular table and four chairs and a stone bench. A rotary washing line is provided for guests' use. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - TV with satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 624 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72530000/72529800/72529760/cc9f5678.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Two bedroom holiday cottage with garden and off-street parking, Bourton-on-the-Water - North House Bourton-on-the-Water - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available - Barbecue grill 9.8 Exceptional 47 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=72529760&PinnedHotelID=72529760&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22010000/22001400/22001349/65ab60da.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Enchanting Grade II listed,Log Burner,allocated parking,town centre but secluded Bourton-on-the-Water - Kitchen - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 170 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=22001349&PinnedHotelID=22001349&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/29000000/28860000/28852100/28852040/6825f0d9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely Cotswold holiday cottage within walking distance of restaurants/shops Bourton on the Water - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 80 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=28852040&PinnedHotelID=28852040&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72530000/72529800/72529744/eb4963d9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Grade II\* listed holiday home with off-street parking and an open-plan garden - Middle Gable Cheltenham - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.6 Exceptional 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=72529744&PinnedHotelID=72529744&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74110000/74106400/74106346/45fb0079.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 18th century period holiday cottage in the Cotswolds with garden - Lavender Cottage, Bourton Cheltenham - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 39 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=74106346&PinnedHotelID=74106346&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33593100/33593097/e6252d3d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Characterful 16th Century Cottage, off street parking, 2 Min Walk to Village!
