Wonderful stay in clean, comfortable accommodation, walking distance from Bourton-On-The-Water.

As a family of 12 people, with three generations, ranging in age from 21 to 83, this was the perfect accommodation to suit everyone's needs. The house is well equipped to be a home away from home. The weather was lovely, and we spent much time in the enclosed garden. The younger members of our group enjoyed the soccer ball and table tennis. Being within 5 minutes walk to town meant that we all could come and go without relying on transport. We are a family spread out between UK, NZ and SA, and Nethercote House provided the perfect space for us to come together and make wonderful memories. I highly recommend this homely accommodation.

Beautiful house, and location was amazing. Really thoughtful to leave us some supplies (bread, butter, milk, 2 types of bacon, biscuits, eggs and some tea, coffee and sugar was left there too). House was very clean, bed linen and towels were spotless. Everything you could need was there in a well equipped kitchen and utility room. To have 3 fridges was great with so many of us. WiFi access was easy, and plenty of seating areas. The kids chose their own TV room. It was the perfect place for us to celebrate as a large family of varying ages, and we actually stayed in to eat and play games rather than going out (more than we thought we would) as it was so nice. The kids (and some of the adults) loved the games tables and the garden. It was so close to the village centre so we could leave the cars at the house. Michael Curtis was excellent at responding really quickly to queries we had before our stay. We all had a fantastic time! Thank you!

A gem in Bourton-on-the-Water

This is a great cottage just a two minute walk from the centre of town, so once we’d parked up there was no need to use the car again. The cottage is clean, well equipped and very, very comfortable. Bourton-on-the-Water has a number of circular walks which take in the glorious countryside. The owner is excellent at communicating everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Mums and Daughters get away

We spent three wonderful nights at Michael’s property. The house was very well presented, there was a lovely welcome pack of basics and the house was spotlessly clean. Brilliant location, cars did not move for the whole time we were there as we could walk everywhere we wanted to go. Lots of lovely walks on the doorstep, which we enjoyed.

Lovely house in great location

Beautiful house just a short walk from the village. Great for 14 family members for 4 nights. Children (8 children - aged 9-15) loved the garden playing badminton and other games. Location of house is ideal for a stroll into the village without the crowds walking past.

What a lovely place. We walked to Upper and Lower Slaughter which is so pretty. The house was clean, and we thought it was perfect for us. We shall come back again

This was a perfect house for us! 3 generations: grandparents, our children and their spouses and our 6 grandchildren ages 3-8. The bedrooms were laid out well and of good size. 4 of the children delighted in staying on the 3rd level in 4 twin beds - such fun they had! We travel together each summer and often the living, dining and kitchen areas are too small for us to gather and children to play. I am happy to say that the kitchen was a great size, the dining room and table were large as was the living room. Having the snug was an additional bonus. So this was a very comfortable house for 14 people!! The laundry room was also large and handy!In addition, the fenced in back yard was perfect for the children to burn off energy. The soccer ball was really appreciated. The young men enjoyed ping pong in the garage one evening, too!So, the house was perfect!as was the town! Just a few minutes walk from the house so that we could come and go as we pleased and meet up with each other in town.We were able to fit 4 cars in the driveway by keeping the gate open.The pictures that you see of the exterior of the house are from the back yard. It did take awhile for us to find Nethercote House the first time because we were looking for that side of the house. So take a look at the street side of Nethercote House:)

80th Birthday Celebration

The house was the perfect size for our family get-together of eleven people aged between 21 and 81. It's lovely and warm and the comfortable furnishings are of a good quality. The kitchen and dining room worked well for us to all cook and eat in. Although the weather was cold and wet, we made use of the games room and the slightly younger members of the family, appreciated being able to escape from the main living room into the snug. Would not hesitate to recommend or use again!
