Lovely clean property in an amazing location. Plenty of room for a family of four with 2 teenage children. Well equipped kitchen and a lovely garden. Lots to do around the area and less than a minute walk from the centre of the village.
One of the best stays we have experienced.. A beautiful old cottage just a brilliant 2 min walk to the centre of Bourton on the water. Exceptionally clean and extra cosy with absolutely everything you need. Literally a home from home. Penny the host was lovely and answred all the questions we had. Thank you for a memorable weekend in a fabulous place.
This cottage is so well suited and a stone's throw from the sweet town of Bourton-On-Water. The backyard, the many comfortable rooms and the lovely hosts made this one of the best stays I have experienced all over the world. If you are looking for a comfortable home base in a sweet Cotswolds town look no further!

Thank you for your extremely favourable review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage where we were just a short walk to the store and pubs/restaurants. My kids loved the quirkiness of the house and the room up top was the first one called. I loved the huge bathtub up there! Hoping to come back someday!

Superb!
This cottage has it all. It has three lovely bedrooms a large kitchen and conservatory and a warm friendly lounge. You are never far away from a bathroom as there is one on the ground floor, two using the on suites on the first floor and a final bathroom on the top floor. Location is superb about 40 yards from the centre of the village yet no noise at all. Probably the best cottage that we have ever stayed in. You can't go wrong!

Thank you so much for your review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday and hope you come back and stay with us in the future.
This house is in a fantastic location and a perfect blend of old world charm and modern conveniences. Three levels, with lots of space for our family and friends stay. We had 5 adults in our group. There was one queen bedroom and two rooms with 2 twin beds each. We used the kitchen and sat in the back garden area a lot. The house was fully stocked with housewares, dishes, cooking utensils to make the stay even more comfortable and prepare meals easily.You are only a block away from pubs, restaurants and bakeries. Our stay was in July. The house did not have AC so we opened windows at night. The sunroom can get quite warm. I would love to come back and stay here in the winter to see this beautiful town with a sprinkle of snow and have a cozy night in this cottage. Maybe next year!

This cottage has it all!
After self catering for more than 25 years, this cottage surpassed any expectations we had.
First, it was spotlessly clean. A ground floor half bath, fast wifi, cozy lounge and exceptionally equipped kitchen. I was very impressed with the inclusion of truly sharp kitchen knives, something usually lacking in other houses we've rented. *Be advised that the coffee pot is a French press, so you should have your coffee ground accordingly.
There were just two of us but all three bedrooms being ensuite is a big plus for families or friends traveling together. The second (top) floor bathroom was huge and included a tub.
The conservatory and garden are lovely. There's a garden bench and four place table in the garden to enjoy on sunny days and a six place table in the conservatory.
The location is superb, just a block from the river on a quiet street. There are restaurants, a bakery and food market within a 5 minute walk.
We highly recommend The Cloisters for your Bourton on the Water holiday.

Thank you.....We really appreciate your complimentary review.
You could not fault the furnishing and equipment provided in this house. We also loved the fact that we were a few minutes from the shops, restaurants and takeaways. As we did not want to cook that much it suited us so well. The house has en suite bathrooms as well as full bathroom and downstairs cloakroom. The en suite were very small and sometimes it was difficult to manage as no where to put anything but that is a very minor grumble as it is so good to have en suite. Personally I would have liked a bigger double bed as that is what I am used to. There is a very nice little walled garden and also a big conservatory that could get very warm when sun came out. While the property does front right onto the street we were not bothered by noise. The odd horse clopping by! It might be nice to have some of information/recommendations about the local area in the house folder although the official information office was just around the corner. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
Amazing location! Loved the ground floor common areas… living room and kitchen areas were perfect for our family. Very accommodating and cute cottage decor! Hope to return.
I do not have one single negative to report on this property. Everything about it is perfect, the abundance of crockery and cutlery, the beautiful luxury bedding and of course the location.
The house is more than comfortable, it is welcoming, homely and decorated beautifully with high quality furnishings. In fact, the photos on the advertisement do not do it justice at all.
Just to add, we had to contact the housekeeper whilst we were there and what a lovely lady she is, So helpful, pleasant and more than happy to help.
We would return to this rental with not a moments hesitation.

Three weeks at Cloisters cottage,Bourton on water 1st to 19 July 2018
Enjoyed our stay and the Housekeeper was very helpful. The only negative was the non use of the Conservatory area due to the very good summer being experienced--for most of the time we could not sit there because it was too hot.
Apart from that was more than adequate and comfortable.

Thank you for your review.
I'm very pleased you had an enjoyable stay at Cloisters Cottage and were lucky enough to have such good weather during your holiday. With such a super summer at least you were able to sit in the garden to dine alfresco or just enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day. It's a shame you couldn't use the conservatory in the hottest part of the day but at least you could open the doors and the windows to allow a cool breeze through into the cottage.
