Curated with design and comfort in mind, this characterful property, with exposed beams and Cotswold stone, is the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring the Cotswolds. Step inside and you will be greeted by light flooding in through the window, dappling across the neutrally decorated living area, with a welcoming two-seater sofa, wooden coffee table and warming log burner. There is a dining table perfect for two, so after whipping up a delicious supper, you can discuss the adventures of the day over a glass of something bubbly. The kitchen is just as welcoming as the living area, with a skylight allowing the sunshine to fill the galley space and exposed Cotswold stone. Through to the other end of Little Forge, you are welcomed by a cosy bedroom, where a big bed beckons you. The en-suite bathroom has been thoughtfully decorated with a stylish interior so you can have a little sprinkle of glamour in the countryside. Outside, you will find yourself wandering down the beautiful streets of Bourton-on-the-Water, only to appear on the iconic high street known as The Venice of the Cotswolds. The view of the pretty bridges over the River Windrush, flanked by artisan shops and delis, is truly breath-taking. You can spend your days exploring the Cotswold Motoring Museum, discovering the amazing world of birds at Birdland, marvel over the only Grade II listed model village in the country all before indulging in a delicious ice-cream from the Cotswold Ice Cream Co. Ground Floor Living area Relax on the sofa in front of the crackling log burner after a day of getting lost in the stunning streets of Bourton-on-the-Water and indulging in cream teas in the lovely cafes dotted all around. Or, cook a delicious supper with farm shop bought goodies, and discuss the day at the sat at the cosy dining table. Kitchen The galley kitchen is perfect for preparing the delights you have picked up on your adventures through the Cotswolds; although petite, there's plenty of room to cook up a storm with everything you need - hob, oven, microwave, toaster and ample cooking utensils. Bedroom The king-size bed is perfect for long lie-ins and dreamy sleeps. Let the morning sunshine beam in through the windows as you relax before the day ahead. Bathroom Adding a touch of sophistication, the contemporary bathroom is perfect for a little pampering complete with walk-in shower, basin and WC. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - TV ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village ### 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) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 398 square feet ## Similar properties ![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 171 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=22001349&PinnedHotelID=22001349&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![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 48 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=72529760&PinnedHotelID=72529760&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!
