Excellent
My family (three adults, two children) stayed at the cottage during our trip to the United Kingdom. It was a beautiful home where we felt immediately at home. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to cook several meals. The beds were comfortable and cozy. The living room had games and books, so we were well entertained. The home was very clean and we felt right at home. We were able to easily walk into downtown Bourton on the Water to enjoy all the sites. We really enjoyed our stay and return. We highly recommend Skylark Cottage.

Great Stay in Beautiful Bourton-on-the-Water
My best friend, adult daughter and I stayed at this great property for 3 nights. From the start, Helen was an excellent communicator. Being from another country, we were a little anxious about getting to the location in a rental car. It turned out there were no worries with that at all. Helen's directions were perfect and the on site parking was a great perk. The cottage was lovely and very well stocked. The location was walkable to many of the sites in Bourton. We used it as a central hub to explore the Cotswolds. The check in and check out process was as expected. We had the good luck to be in the area during a heat spell, making it seem more like the Midwest in America. We had a learning curve remembering that most places in England do not have air conditioning, but the fans that were provided were helpful. This was the ideal place for our little group to relax and recover after very busy days exploring. I would highly recommend this location and Helen as a host.

Lovely and Convenient Home
Helen and Ian’s home is within walking distance to all of the attractions in Bourton on the Water and driving distance to nearby villages. The home was perfect in every way and very comfortable for the four of us. Helen and Ian made the check in and check out process easy. Highly recommend!
