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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
My family and I had an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage in the Cotswolds, close to all the amenities and surrounding areas.
The cottage was immaculate, spacious and Helen was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We hope to stay here again soon!
