Ideal place to stay for a break, comfortable cottage, well equipped. Good location, quiet and peaceful, yet only a few minutes walk from the village. Lovely country walks straight from the door.

Fabulous property with everything you’d possibly need for a comfortable stay. The location of the property was also great as it felt quite secluded but was actually only a 10 minute walk into Bourton centre (a decent torch is recommended though if you’re walking back at night as the lane is not lit). The property owner was lovely to deal with and left us a welcome pack which was very thoughtful.

The cottage was a lovely home base for exploring the Cotswolds. The kitchen had everything we could need to prepare a meal and the setting was lovely. It is a quick 10-minute walk to downtown Bourton-on-the-Water (bring a torch if you are out after dark, the paths can be quite dark) and we enjoyed getting fresh milk from Greystones across the field. The Coop for groceries at the end of the road was very conveniently located as well. Tishy was lovely, providing us with wine and local Brie and a small bouquet of flowers from her garden. It was tranquil and quiet, the perfect holiday. We look forward to returning!

Lovely stay!

We enjoyed our long weekend stay at Bury Fields. Great power shower, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and good location, near the town but in the countryside. Would recommend bringing some coat hangers with you as mentioned in a few previous reviews but this is a very minor point. Overall a lovely stay, thank you.

Great stay in the Cotawold

Great space and location. Hosts had great information for the area. We were just 2 but would be great for two couples. So quiet, right on walking paths to Bourton on the water (less than 10 minutes), and into the country. Would stay there again.

The cottage is very nice and has all you need for a pleasant stay. In case you need something and/or want some ideas what to do/where to go, Tichy ( Patricia) and Richard are ready to help. But the best thing about this cottage is it's LOCATION : starting from the cottage you can start kicking, cycling and you can visit a lot of little beautifull little towns, castles/mannors, gardens, ... after only a 30 min. drive. Oxford, Blenheim, the birthplace of Shakespeare, ... are within a 60 min. drive. We really loved the Cotswolds. PS: It is correct what you read about Burton-on-the-water : it is by far too touristic, unless you visit it before 10:00 AM. But if you walk/cycle just for 5 minutes from it's "city center" you have the country side, the little beautiful villages, ... for your own.

Had a super stay, all the home from home comforts provided and a thoughtful welcome gift of cheese, biscuits, milk and a cupboard full of tea and coffee. Great location for walking into the town to enjoy the shops, cafes and pubs. Lots of information provided in the house about local walks and activities.
