3 minute walk to river and shops. comfortable property, clean and tidy. Everything that was needed for our 1 week stay. Central to most of the cotswolds.
Jude was helpful and friendly without being intrusive. The flat was very comfortable and just 5 minutes walk from the centre of the village. We loved the many footpaths and walks from the flat. It was easy to self-cater (a large coop just 10 minutes walk away) and there were also lots of places to eat out.

I was very much looking forward to this visit. I became ill and was unable to travel. I tried to reach the managers to see if I could change dates many times but was unable to reach them. I would love to stay there another time. It was very frustrating to be unable to reach anyone.
Just a few steps to the most popular street in BOTW but quiet and peaceful.
Very clean and spacious for two people, it had everything we needed without expensive frills we didn't. A great value, especially considering the location and date.
We especially enjoyed the unique tilting windows and fresh air throughout the flat as the day warmed up. Our clothes dried very quickly. There was central heat for chilly days too.
Our hosts take excellent care of the flat and are very responsive but not intrusive at all. We loved being able to buy a few things from their shop as mementos.
It was nice to have a good kitchen to prepare meals and save some money. There is a well-stocked grocer in town and several lovely bakeries. We were addicted to the sausage rolls at Cornish Bakery and discovered the bread at Bakery on the Water on the last day. It was also on our last evening we discovered through a maps search there were other good food options outside the tourist area.
Highly recommend this place and our gracious hosts.

Lovely apartment in gorgeous Bourton-On-The-Water.
Lovely apartment in gorgeous Bourton-On-The-Water. Wouldn't hesitate in staying here again. Only thing that could of made it any better, was maybe some big glasses for my husband's beer and a few more plates/cutlery, so we didn't have to wash up as often. Wasn't a problem tho, we were very happy with Terracota.

Great place for two people. We would definitely go back .
This is an ideal property, in an idyllic location. By staying, we were minutes from the centre of 'Little Venice,' which was understandably, popular with tourists.
We really enjoyed our holiday.The property was in a great place and the owners were very friendly and helpful.Hope to go back one day.
