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: The stylish en-suite has a walk-in shower, vanity mirror and hairdryer. First Floor Bedroom Two: Looking across the garden to the Cotswold countryside beyond, bedroom two has a king-size bed and a double wardrobe. Light and bright, it is a wonderful place to start your day, decorated in calming blue tones. En-suite: The en-suite to bedroom two has a bath with a shower over and is kept nice and warm with underfloor heating. Bedroom Three: 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: The charming single bedroom has an oak bed and there is space to unpack with a single wardrobe and a bedside table. 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. Outside The garden beckons with its planted borders and views of the Cotswold landscape. Fire up the BBQ and dine al fresco or just lay in the grass and watch the hours drift by.

From a partner site ### 6/10 Okay #### A W. 12 Mar 2025 #### Location great We arrived at South Winds and thought the location was perfect. The house very much needs a deep clean, dead flies in bath, crumbs in kitchen drawers, frying pan full of fat and generally dusty. The blind in bedroom would not open and tv ariel was broken. The dining area was the best part of the house. ##### A W.

No hot water on first day it had been left turned off. TVs and sterios were in a knot. Lovely house in convenient position. Someone should check TVs and radios before handover as they had been left in operative. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 From a partner site ### 6/10 Okay 7 Sept 2025 #### Photographs need updated to show current lower standard Good location but quite disappointed with the property for the price we paid. From the photos on Bolthole’s website I expected this to be a very comfortable house and a reasonably high standard for a family get-together but it would appear that there’s a new owner (?) who has removed some furniture and is willing to spend less on maintenance and guest comfort. Most of the upstairs windows had mould on the surrounds plus leaks in the flat roof extension had resulted in areas of mould and the garden umbrella was covered in green mould (no response from the housekeeping team when I sent photos). Although it had everything we needed, a lot of items were very basic as if the owner expected guests to trash everything e.g. the plastic sheet over the dining table was an interesting touch. At the moment I couldn’t recommend the property since the website photos somewhat sell it under false pretences. Update the photos, remove the mould and make the repairs. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 20 Nov 2024 #### Lovely property in great location. Easy walk into Bourton on the water This property is lovely and generally very clean and really well equipped. Set off the main road into Bourton it is a quiet location (even building work next door didn't disturb us at any time) and has a lovely big parking area that we easily got 3 cars on. Easy walking distance along well made footpaths (just under a mile) to the town with loads of restaurants and pubs. Lovely big social area around table in kitchen which had everything we needed for our stay. We used the master bedroom and ensuite which is nice and roomy, has a comfortable bed, big ensuite with lovely powerful shower over bath. Another couple had the other double upstairs which they found comfortable (although they did find the shower a little snug). The third couple used the double downstairs but did comment on it feeling cold even though the heating was on. Our only reason for the 4 on condition was that there seemed to be reasonable amount of mould around windows and water collecting on some upstairs windowsills which I think may have been made worse by upstairs extractor fans either not working properly or not very well so we had to rely on opening windows to get some airflow through the rooms. Welcome basket was very much appreciated (couldn't find any pods for the coffee machine though but we had our own instant coffee as a backup). Overall a very pleasant stay in a comfortable property. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael p. 2 Jun 2025 #### Perfect location The house was perfect for our family group. Handy to be close to the centre of Bourton on the Water but far away enough to be away from the crowds. Plenty of walks from the door. ##### Michael p.

Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2022 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Julie B. 3 Jul 2023 #### Family weekend away for daughters’s 30th birthday The house is in an excellent location within easy walking distance to the centre. The space both inside and out was ideal for the six of us. Each couple had a double bedroom with their own bathroom. Beds were very comfy as was the outside seating but we all felt the lounge seating was not comfy at all. The lower rating for the condition of the property is because we felt it looked tired in places. ##### Julie B. Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela W. 19 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### A bit disappointing We booked this house based on the beautiful photos and the good reviews but were a bit disappointed ourselves. It's located almost next to a large road. The bedroom in the ground floor looks out onto the parking lot. The interior is very basic, with everything missing that would make it a bit more cosy (nice light, curtains, etc.). The beds are incredibly small so that all of the adults slept horribly every night. On the positive side, the kitchen is very well equipped and there is a folder with excellent information about the area. There is a beautiful walk to some nearby lakes and rivers (which we found ourselves, though, it was not in the folder). I have stayed in much more beautiful Cotswolds houses than this one. ##### Angela W. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 15 Jun 2024 #### South Winds Bourton. A nice spacious house but so upset about the patio area outside. It had two foot weeds growing around it, broken pottery planters with old empty plastic pots. The barbecue was filthy. Nothing like the advertised picture. Very upset because I chose this house for the patio area so we could relax outside. No chance of that. I informed the housekeeper and head office to give them a chance to put this right but nobody turned up and nobody followed up my complaint to see if it had been corrected. I have put pictures on the Bolthole review site. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### D T. 30 Jan 2023 #### Great place to get together Great location for Bourton. Super social kitchen/family space. The house was very well equipped. Great service from Bolthole Retreats. We would visit again and use Bolthole Retreats again. ##### D T. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 5 Jan 2023 #### Christmas 2022 Beautiful house in a wonderful location. Few cobwebs within the house gave impression of not adequate cleaning but that was the only flaw. Very comfortable. We had an issue with the cooker but replaced quickly with minimum fuss even when the weather was bad due to snow. Would suggest a set of drawers in master bedroom. Beautiful house wonderful stay thoroughly enjoyable.

From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 19 May 2022 #### Relaxing break in wonderful location We wanted a midweek break in May and this was a great choice. The house has plenty of room and everything you need, including plenty of parking and 2 TVs. The ground floor bedroom with en-suite was great for elderly or infirm (just one small step down from the bathroom) and the patio area was a real sun trap. On the edge of the village there were walks from the front door, but still only a stroll into town. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aurora S. 24 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wedding stay This house was a perfect size for us to prepare for my daughters wedding particularly with 3 bathrooms.

It is ideally suited for exploring the Cotswolds and very convenient for Hyde House wedding venue. ##### Aurora S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 19 Apr 2022 #### A short stay We stayed in Bourton-on-the-Water in April 2022\. Southwinds was well presented and comfortable base for our activities. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Lora B. 4 Apr 2022 #### Lovely 3 night stay for all the family We chose to visit the Cotswolds for my 30th and after checking which large houses were available to accommodate us all settled on South Winds in Bourton-On-The-Water. The Meet & Greet wasn't available on our arrival date but this was fine as everything was explained in a quick phone call ahead of time and we were able to let ourselves in with the key box. The house was a good size for the number of guests, and was decorated tastefully throughout. Each bedroom, even the single room, was a decent size and everyone commented on how comfortable the bedding was. The dining area was so lovely that we found ourselves congregating there rather than in the family rooms and the kitchen was a good size to accommodate multiple chefs at once and was stocked with essentials like washing up liquid, kitchen foil, cooking oil etc. as well as a full-size fridge, oven, hob and dishwasher perfect for a large group. The garden was also a good size and would been great for kids, the garden furniture and bbq looked nice, though it was too cold for us to use during our stay. Overall we had a lovely stay and would happily come back again in the future ##### Lora B.
