Fabulous property with everything you’d possibly need for a comfortable stay. The location of the property was also great as it felt quite secluded but was actually only a 10 minute walk into Bourton centre (a decent torch is recommended though if you’re walking back at night as the lane is not lit). The property owner was lovely to deal with and left us a welcome pack which was very thoughtful.

Lovely stay!

We enjoyed our long weekend stay at Bury Fields. Great power shower, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and good location, near the town but in the countryside. Would recommend bringing some coat hangers with you as mentioned in a few previous reviews but this is a very minor point. Overall a lovely stay, thank you.

Great stay in the Cotawold

Great space and location. Hosts had great information for the area. We were just 2 but would be great for two couples. So quiet, right on walking paths to Bourton on the water (less than 10 minutes), and into the country. Would stay there again.

The cottage is very nice and has all you need for a pleasant stay. In case you need something and/or want some ideas what to do/where to go, Tichy ( Patricia) and Richard are ready to help. But the best thing about this cottage is it's LOCATION : starting from the cottage you can start kicking, cycling and you can visit a lot of little beautifull little towns, castles/mannors, gardens, ... after only a 30 min. drive. Oxford, Blenheim, the birthplace of Shakespeare, ... are within a 60 min. drive. We really loved the Cotswolds. PS: It is correct what you read about Burton-on-the-water : it is by far too touristic, unless you visit it before 10:00 AM. But if you walk/cycle just for 5 minutes from it's "city center" you have the country side, the little beautiful villages, ... for your own.

great place to stay

We had a glorious week staying here in July the weather was perfect for us . The facilities at the house are excellent and everything we needed was there in the house. Short walk into Bourton but far enough away to leave all the crowds behind to return to the absolute peace and quiet of the house. Nice seating area outside to relax at the end of a day. We had a dog and there are so many lovely walks you can do from the doorstep without getting in the car. We loved it .

A Peaceful Haven In The Cotswolds

What a beautiful cottage in the Cotswolds. Complete with a loft to view the fields this cottage has it all. Well stocked and spacious with ample crockery, glasses, board games and more. A lovely 10 minute walk takes you to the village along a beautiful little lane way that passes a churchyard and peaceful cemetery.Richard was more than accomodating and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did!)WiFi was good and beds were warm and comfortable. Outside area was perfect for afternoon drinks and listening to the birds. Also a lot of amazing history to the farm which is worth reading about.Highly recommend this lovely cottage retreat for long or short stays. We'll definitely be back again as a place to wind down and relax.We only wished we had stayed longer!Thank you Richard and Tishy

Excellent host and property

We stayed for 5 nights - Pros: very pleasant contact with host several times, very comfy beds, clean crisp linens, very nice fully equipped kitchen, wonderful water pressure/hot & cold water, surprise welcoming gift of white wine, crackers & the most delicious local Brie. Cons: no closets to hang closet only a bar on wall with 3-4 hangers, need one more fan due to no air conditioning. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay and would definitely recommend this property. It felt like home and would stay there again. . Thank you.

Relaxing Cotswold break

Stayed here with my wife and our 2 border terriers. Absolutely loved the property, which was really well equipped and perfectly located. We found the area to be very peaceful and relaxing, with some truly stunning countryside views. Eating out was a breeze too, as it was only a short walk in to town where there were plenty of tasty restaurants to choose from (all dog friendly). Great selection of nearby picturesque dog walking routes, to keep the pups happy during the day and tired out in the evening. We found the hosts to be very friendly and helpful. What can I say. We really loved this place and will definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay.

For our purposes, this property served us very well. We were able to visit with family by easy drives to and from. We enjoyed having everything on one level in the cottage as my husband has mobility issues. Our only concern was the mattresses on the beds were not quite firm enough for us tall folks with back issues. The kitchen is well supplied for just about any type of meal prep. We did have trouble figuring out the laundry machine, and were told that the dryer part was not working well. Again, due to mobility issues, it was great having a walk in shower. There is no tub which didn't concern us at all. Grocery shopping is conveniently located just a few minutes away by car. On the main road there is a gas/petrol station right at the end of Cemetery Land. Attached to it is a laundry which we did use for a quick wash, dry fold service the day before we left. Parking around the town is EXTREMELY limited which for us was an inconvenience, again due to mobility issues. There is a terrific restaurant/pub in Northleach, the next town to the south of Bourton. It's called the Wheatsheaf Inn on the main street. Highly recommend. Richard was extremely helpful finding us a place in Cheltenham to get a replacement battery for my phone. We were lucky with mostly great weather during our stay, and had a wonderful time visiting family.

The cottage was a lovely home base for exploring the Cotswolds. The kitchen had everything we could need to prepare a meal and the setting was lovely. It is a quick 10-minute walk to downtown Bourton-on-the-Water (bring a torch if you are out after dark, the paths can be quite dark) and we enjoyed getting fresh milk from Greystones across the field. The Coop for groceries at the end of the road was very conveniently located as well. Tishy was lovely, providing us with wine and local Brie and a small bouquet of flowers from her garden. It was tranquil and quiet, the perfect holiday. We look forward to returning!
