Lavender Cottage

A lovely place to stay, very comfortable with all amenities close by. A great place to visit the Cotswolds from and nice to 'chill out' in the evenings in front of the fire. A real 'home from home' Being dog friendly a great bonus too!

Charming cottage

Lavender Cottage is absolutely lovely. It hardly seems real. Amazing location close to great restaurants and the adorable downtown, but quiet and just slightly tucked away. 10/10. We can’t wait to come back!!

Lovely cosy cottage!

Had a wonderful stay! Although close to the main area it was very very quiet. On some rainy days I sat in and read a book . My favorite was sitting in the kitchen with the half door open listening to the birds and cows. Very comfortable and clean.

Perfect getaway

This gem of a location was absolutely perfect to enjoy the Cotswolds. Even if you didn’t have a vehicle this is a great place to stay. Lots of walkable areas. Pubs 3 min walk away (our fav was Kingsbridge). Tons of quaint little shops. The cottage is set up for a lovely stay.

Clean, cosy, perfect location

We had a wonderful weekend at lavender cottage. Everything was spotlessly clean on our arrival. The bedrooms were cosy and comfortable. Location is fantastic, just next to the river, quiet and peaceful. I will add if you’re coming with children to be aware the top floor room opens to steep stairs but our 5 year old managed fine! We look forward to staying again in the future.

Fantastic location!

Great location, right in town and still very quiet!! Would definitely recommend. Rooms are very small, and stair case a little precarious... But you are staying in an old cottage which has been made to feel very homely. Would not recommend if stairs could be an issue as we did have a fall during our stay. Fyi cooktop extractor, electric fireplace and cd player were not working.. and more than 2 bowls in kitchen is suggested... But not a big deal and we really enjoyed our stay.

Great location near all amenities

This little cottage in in a great location in the village and has many pubs and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Because of its location car parking is not easy residents get very protective of their perceived space and put cones and no parking signs outside; in the summer months parking must be even worse. The property is an old cottage and is a little tired; it’s functional but has no finesse. The stairs to the bedrooms are difficult to negotiate and would not be suitable for the less mobile.Overall it’s OK but I wouldn’t go back.

Lovely weekend away in February

We had a very pleasant stay at Lavender Cottage. It's a cozy little cottage that has an excellent location right in the heart of the village of Bourton-on-the-Water, which has plenty to do in it. You are in walking distance to everything in town. The cottage is tucked away behind another cottage, so it was a little tricky to find at first, but the check-in instructions are clear. There's a lovely garden, well-equipped kitchen and overall historic vibe to the place. We had plenty of space as a couple staying there (although we didn't spend loads of time in the cottage during the day because we were out exploring) but I could see space being tight if there were two couples sharing. You should park in the town lot, it's a very short/easy walk along the river. Overall, fantastic experience and would re-book. Happy out!

Typical beamed ceiling Cotswold cottage

Overall it was very good. Parking was difficult but we were warned about this issue. It is a very small cottage and this is fine if you intend on going out most of the time. Otherwise it is tiny and the stairs are not easy. A good roomy kitchen however. The tv proved a problem until I found out there were no batteries in the remote control. Presumably the previous residents had taken them! What plonkers! We called the helpline and the cleaning lady (and her mother) were so helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Most Wonderful Cottage!

We recently stayed for three nights at Lavender Cottage in Bourton on the Water. It was absolutely the most quintessential, lovely Cotswold cottage experience we could have asked for! The proximity to town was fabulous - just a few minutes' walk. But the street and cottage were quiet and pleasant, we never felt as though we were "too close" to town or the tourists. The cottage was darling, clean and comfortable - everything we needed for our stay was provided. The mattresses could have been a bit softer - but we found that to be true all over England! Parking was easy, right on the street, and we were able to walk to wonderful shops, restaurants, and tea/coffee places without using the car. We initially wondered which Cotswold village would be best for our visit - and found Bourton to be the perfect central location. We visited Highgrove, Stratford, Althorp, Blenheim Palace, and several other villages while we stayed at Lavender Cottage. Even though we drove a bit farther each day, it was so nice to come home to the same, comfortable, adorable cottage each night. The hosts shared a wonderful guide book with restaurant suggestions, which was very helpful. We are hoping to return some day - and won't hesitate to book this lovely property again.

But of a shame

This cottage has some quaint character and is in a very central location and that is probably the best thing to say about it. The cottage interior and its contents are tired. Water leaked through the ceiling from the shower and has obviously done so for a long time judging by the state of the plaster. The electrics had either no or dead batteries and exposed wires in cables, which had all been reported previously in the guest book. The crockery was mis matched and chipped, cracked glasses in the cupboard - which at least the previous guests had left out to be sorted but found there way back into the cupboard. The double bed was far from comfortable. The hoover cartridge was so rammed with dirt it wouldn’t pick up when we tried to use it. The information book was full of irrelevant and scribbled on information and yet the information we required was not in it, no spare bin bags and no information on where to dispose of the rubbish. Dishwasher mentioned in the book and tablets in the cupboard but no dishwasher. The ornaments are dated and feel like unwanted leftovers that don’t match anywhere else. Attention also needs to be given to the cleaning, the carpets were dirty and cobwebs across the numerous fake flowers and windows. And lastly no welcome pack as described no milk or cake

Comfy stay in amazing location!

What a great stay at Lavender cottage, we stayed for 3 nights recently with our toddler at it was so well set up. Great service and location too, just a short (beautiful) walk away from the town centre. It was so cosy and great with a kitchen and courtyard. We would definitely stay again!

This is a wonderful small cottage just steps away from the path along the stream in Bourton. It has a small windy staircase to the bedrooms that may trouble some but the house is warm cozy and well appointed. We would love to stay again.
