For those that enjoy walking, the Monarch’s Way footpath which is based on the route taken by King Charles II in 1651, runs straight through Bourton-on-the-Water, part of the Oxfordshire Way can also be joined, or the shorter Windrush Way begins in Winchcombe and follows the near-by Windrush Valley to end back in Bourton.

Enjoy visiting the famous Cotswold honey coloured stone villages and towns around Bourton-on-the-Water such Burford, Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Lower Slaughter, Cirencester, Broadway, Moreton-on-the-Marsh or Bibury where you can feed the fish in the river as it passes by the famous Arlington Row, all of which are within easy reach of this lovely holiday home.

Five Stars

Five Stars for Honeystone Cottage. The home was immaculate, perfect for our family. The location was also perfect for visiting the village and launching day trips to the area. Helen was helpful and quick to answer. We had a great time.

Wonderful stay in Bourton on the Water

This home was a wonderful place for our Cotswolds vacation. The location was wonderful. And the home was well kept, cute and host was very responsive. We loved being able to cook dinner and sit in the garden. This made for a wonderful home base to explore different villages. And the welcome basket when we arrived was so thoughtful.

Our Hols

Lovely comfortable property, well appointed with good space. We enjoyed our stay. A couple of minor additions would be to put 1/2 hooks in the bathrooms for towels to hang on and a waste bin in the bedrooms.

A beautiful home-away-from-home at the Cotswolds.

Our family of six spent a delightful week at this beautiful, ample, excellently furnished and taken-care-of property. The hosts/owners were in contact with us to make sure that we checked in O.K., were comfortable and were ready to immediately resolve any issues. We have stayed at several properties, in England and elsewhere and our stay at the Honeystone Cottage at Bourton-on-the-Water definitely ranks at the very top. We highly recommend this beautiful home away from home to any group wanting to enjoy the beautiful Cotswolds.

Wonderful stay in the Cotswolds!

This house was perfect in very way! It is exactly as described with plenty of space for two families each of 2 adults and 2 preteen kids, to enjoy a long weekend. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need and the garden and summerhouse was perfect for the kids to have a space to socialize. The location is excellent, only a 10 minute easy walk into the town centre and even less to the Coop grocery store. I would highly recommend and my kids said it was a highlight of our European trip! Thanks!

Toddler break

As 2 families of 4 (with all the children being 3 or under) the property was ideal for us. A spacious, well equipped kitchen for feeding time at the zoo meant meal times were social and fun. The living room was abundant with toys and games which made packing a breeze. The bedrooms were well laid out with travel cots provided. Everything has been thought about for families to stay here.
