Comfortable stay

We stayed as a family of 5 adults and a baby. The layout was perfect for us and gave us all privacy. The family room on the back was great for us all to come together. Walking distance to Bourton. Had a great stay.

Would recommend

This property met all our expectations, well equipped and spacious and just a short walk to Bourton-on the water. A great base to explore the Cotswolds.

Gorgeous stay in a perfect home

We stayed at South Winds for a weekend in April. The home is beautiful, well arranged and pristine. It’s in a fab location, just a short walk from Bourton on the Water. Highly recommend!

Location great

We arrived at South Winds and thought the location was perfect. The house very much needs a deep clean, dead flies in bath, crumbs in kitchen drawers, frying pan full of fat and generally dusty. The blind in bedroom would not open and tv ariel was broken. The dining area was the best part of the house.

Great for 4 generation stay

Lovely house with ground floor bedroom and walk-in shower -tiny step- for mum. 3 small but nice bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs. Huge sunny bright family room/kitchen/dining room overlooking rear garden. 15 minutes walk to central Bourton-on-the-water. Great spot for exploring the Cotswolds

Cons. No hot water on first day it had been left turned off. TVs and sterios were in a knot.

Lovely house in convenient position. Someone should check TVs and radios before handover as they had been left in operative.

Photographs need updated to show current lower standard

Good location but quite disappointed with the property for the price we paid. From the photos on Bolthole’s website I expected this to be a very comfortable house and a reasonably high standard for a family get-together but it would appear that there’s a new owner (?) who has removed some furniture and is willing to spend less on maintenance and guest comfort. Most of the upstairs windows had mould on the surrounds plus leaks in the flat roof extension had resulted in areas of mould and the garden umbrella was covered in green mould (no response from the housekeeping team when I sent photos). Although it had everything we needed, a lot of items were very basic as if the owner expected guests to trash everything e.g. the plastic sheet over the dining table was an interesting touch. At the moment I couldn’t recommend the property since the website photos somewhat sell it under false pretences. Update the photos, remove the mould and make the repairs.

Lovely property in great location. Easy walk into Bourton on the water

This property is lovely and generally very clean and really well equipped. Set off the main road into Bourton it is a quiet location (even building work next door didn't disturb us at any time) and has a lovely big parking area that we easily got 3 cars on. Easy walking distance along well made footpaths (just under a mile) to the town with loads of restaurants and pubs. Lovely big social area around table in kitchen which had everything we needed for our stay. We used the master bedroom and ensuite which is nice and roomy, has a comfortable bed, big ensuite with lovely powerful shower over bath. Another couple had the other double upstairs which they found comfortable (although they did find the shower a little snug). The third couple used the double downstairs but did comment on it feeling cold even though the heating was on. Our only reason for the 4 on condition was that there seemed to be reasonable amount of mould around windows and water collecting on some upstairs windowsills which I think may have been made worse by upstairs extractor fans either not working properly or not very well so we had to rely on opening windows to get some airflow through the rooms. Welcome basket was very much appreciated (couldn't find any pods for the coffee machine though but we had our own instant coffee as a backup). Overall a very pleasant stay in a comfortable property.

Perfect location

The house was perfect for our family group. Handy to be close to the centre of Bourton on the Water but far away enough to be away from the crowds. Plenty of walks from the door.

Family weekend away for daughters’s 30th birthday

The house is in an excellent location within easy walking distance to the centre. The space both inside and out was ideal for the six of us. Each couple had a double bedroom with their own bathroom. Beds were very comfy as was the outside seating but we all felt the lounge seating was not comfy at all. The lower rating for the condition of the property is because we felt it looked tired in places.

A bit disappointing

We booked this house based on the beautiful photos and the good reviews but were a bit disappointed ourselves. It's located almost next to a large road. The bedroom in the ground floor looks out onto the parking lot. The interior is very basic, with everything missing that would make it a bit more cosy (nice light, curtains, etc.). The beds are incredibly small so that all of the adults slept horribly every night. On the positive side, the kitchen is very well equipped and there is a folder with excellent information about the area. There is a beautiful walk to some nearby lakes and rivers (which we found ourselves, though, it was not in the folder). I have stayed in much more beautiful Cotswolds houses than this one.

South Winds Bourton.

A nice spacious house but so upset about the patio area outside. It had two foot weeds growing around it, broken pottery planters with old empty plastic pots. The barbecue was filthy. Nothing like the advertised picture. Very upset because I chose this house for the patio area so we could relax outside. No chance of that. I informed the housekeeper and head office to give them a chance to put this right but nobody turned up and nobody followed up my complaint to see if it had been corrected. I have put pictures on the Bolthole review site.

Great place to get together

Great location for Bourton. Super social kitchen/family space. The house was very well equipped. Great service from Bolthole Retreats. We would visit again and use Bolthole Retreats again.

Beautiful house in a wonderful location. Few cobwebs within the house gave impression of not adequate cleaning but that was the only flaw. Very comfortable. We had an issue with the cooker but replaced quickly with minimum fuss even when the weather was bad due to snow. Would suggest a set of drawers in master bedroom. Beautiful house wonderful stay thoroughly enjoyable.

Relaxing break in wonderful location

We wanted a midweek break in May and this was a great choice. The house has plenty of room and everything you need, including plenty of parking and 2 TVs. The ground floor bedroom with en-suite was great for elderly or infirm (just one small step down from the bathroom) and the patio area was a real sun trap. On the edge of the village there were walks from the front door, but still only a stroll into town.

Wedding stay

This house was a perfect size for us to prepare for my daughters wedding particularly with 3 bathrooms. It is spacious and so well equipped that it made celebrating and entertaining with family effortless. It is ideally suited for exploring the Cotswolds and very convenient for Hyde House wedding venue.

Lovely 3 night stay for all the family

We chose to visit the Cotswolds for my 30th and after checking which large houses were available to accommodate us all settled on South Winds in Bourton-On-The-Water. The Meet & Greet wasn't available on our arrival date but this was fine as everything was explained in a quick phone call ahead of time and we were able to let ourselves in with the key box. The house was a good size for the number of guests, and was decorated tastefully throughout. Each bedroom, even the single room, was a decent size and everyone commented on how comfortable the bedding was. The dining area was so lovely that we found ourselves congregating there rather than in the family rooms and the kitchen was a good size to accommodate multiple chefs at once and was stocked with essentials like washing up liquid, kitchen foil, cooking oil etc. as well as a full-size fridge, oven, hob and dishwasher perfect for a large group. The garden was also a good size and would been great for kids, the garden furniture and bbq looked nice, though it was too cold for us to use during our stay. Overall we had a lovely stay and would happily come back again in the future
