Holiday rentals near The Model Village

Just a great stay.

I booked this property many months ago for a pre-Christmas weekend in the Cotswolds with my family. The communication throughout with the owner and then the property manager was excellent and the listing details were totally accurate. The only issues we had were the bed mattresses were a little hard and we couldn't find instructions for recycling, but overall it was an amazing experience and highly recommended.

Perfectly positioned and equipped - particularly grateful for the wonderful loaf of bread and marmalade welcoming us on our arrival, graciously provided by our hosts!

We had a great stay at Forsythia Cottage in Bourton. The well appointed cottage provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay with the added bonus of a car space for our hire car and only a very short walk to the centre of town. In fact we didn’t use the car for the entirety of our stay. The renovated cottage provided all the comforts required whilst still enjoying the authentic experience of a 300 year old home. The courtyard garden was a bonus which we would no doubt have made better use of if the weather had been kinder. The only negative was the cottage being renovated next door with jackhammers and rubble being piled into skips - which was just bad timing on our behalf. Communication with our host Paul was great and the images of the cottage were very accurate. The internal steps are very steep as you might imagine but with care my 80 year old mother was able to navigate them. We would have no hesitation in recommending Forsythia Cottage for a great stay in Bourton-in-the-water.
