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.

Weekend with the girls

Nethercote House was even better than in the listing - spacious and comfortable with everything you could need for a luxurious trip away. A few minutes walk from the village which was picture postcard pretty and had loads to do. What a find!

Very enjoyable

The house was very comfortable and user friendly. We loved the kitchen where the older ones could sit and watch the younger ones cook! In the end we were never more than 10 people staying at a time, it might have felt a little small with 24 but like that it was perfect.

Amazing property and overall experience

I booked this property many months ago for a pre-Christmas weekend in the Cotswolds with my family. The communication throughout with the owner and then the property manager was excellent and the listing details were totally accurate. The only issues we had were the bed mattresses were a little hard and we couldn't find instructions for recycling, but overall it was an amazing experience and highly recommended.

Perfect setting made a perfect weekend

Nethercote is a great house for a family gathering. It was exactly what I hoped for and more for my birthday celebration weekend. The rooms and layout of the house is excellent. It was spotlessly clean and the kitchen has every utensil needed. It really is a short stroll to the town. The garden is great for summer guests. I would definitely recommend and hope to revisit in the future.

Weekend away

The house was as described and met the needs of a family of13 from a three year old to an 83 year old. Rooms we great , comfortable and spacious and grandkids loved all being together in the loft room. Kitchen excellent, several TV's to accommodate games systems, watching TV and streaming films for the kids. Both lounges comfortably adequate for sitting and chatting and games around the large dinning room table were a lot of fun, the elder kids loved the table tennis and football table in the garage. An excellent location for an excellent weekend away.

Great stay at Nethercote House

We had a great stay at Nethercote House. 3 nights with 11 family members whose age range was 14-83. The house has a lovely layout with a good flow through the rooms and plenty of space. Everything had been thought of, there was even 3 fridges so self catering was a breeze, even for 11 people. A short walk into the village which, maybe 5 minutes, which is very picturesque, and also fine for someone with limited mobility. Perfect, and would definitely return.

Family time away in the Cotswolds.

A real gem tucked away in an amazingly pretty village which was within flat walking distance to the heart of the village. A family get together, large enough to accommodate 11 of us comfortably, felt cosy and inviting. The additional games room in the garden was an excellent respite where the younger ones (& older ones) could escape if desired. It was well equipped with everything that we required. Sitting around the huge breakfast tablet enjoying a traditional English breakfast each morning was a real joy. A fabulous house in a fabulous location!

Perfect Charming and Convenient Spot!

We had a most wonderful time at Nethercote House! The space was very well appointed, very clean, and an unbelievably convenient location! It was so easy to pop out the door and be right in downtown Bourton-on-the-Water in less than five minutes. We regularly popped in and out throughout the day in different groups due to the convenience which was such a nice treat compared to always having to consider needing to load up the car to head places together as a group! The fenced in yard was also so great with young kids so they could play outside and burn off some energy :) The place really was a delight - definitely recommend!

Communication with the host was very easy. House was great for our party of 11 (3 generations) with plenty of room to both be together, but also find space. Excellent location with a short stroll into Bourton On The Water- so no need to use the cars. Room for 6 cars to park overall a good experience.

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!

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:)
