Lovely location

The Middle Gable at Bourton on the Water is a one of a kind experience as your accomodations were built in the 1600's. The home is charming. The town is absolutely lovely.

Lovely house

Lovely atmospheric property within minutes of the centre of town. Enough parking for two cars in the garage. Everything was in excellent order and the gardens surrounding the house were lovely. It would have been helpful to have access a little earlier than 5.00pm and to be given the key code to get in at least a day before rather than 15 minutes before arrival at 5.00pm.

A fantastic historic house in a superb location

Middle Gable is a unique opportunity to stay in a very comfortable house which incredibly dates back to 1642. It is very well equipped, beautifully furnished and in a fantastic location in the heart of the Cotswolds. There are countless places to visit and many walks in the area. We have stayed in many holiday cottages and this is one of the very best, full of character and history. We will return and have already recommended it to our friends and family.

A holiday home steeped in history

If you want to feel on holiday in a bygone era but with the essential mod cons of modern living then this is the place to stay. TV, wi-fi, underfloor heating, fully fitted kitchen in surroundings befitting Henry the 8th. A fabulous and comfortable old 4 poster bed in a bedroom that makes you think you're time travelling. All surrounded by a beautiful and quiet English country garden and really close to the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water. We had a great few days away at Middle Gable relaxing and enjoying the many delights of the Cotswolds. Cate the owner couldn't have been more helpful, thank you for sharing your beautiful house.

Wonderful Cotswold Property

Middle Cable embodied everything we were looking for during our stay in the Cotswold. From the enchanting construction of the property, to the beautiful garden area and interior details, everything enhanced our first visit together to this region of England. The living spaces inside are very comfortable, and especially the huge master bed! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything to prepare light or full meals. Cate was wonderful in her communications and we thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. It truly provided a very nice personal touch. We are very pleased with the decision to select this property, and can highly recommend it for a visit to the Cotswolds.

Lovely

We enjoyed our week at Middle Gable. The house is so warm and cosy. It’s very atmospheric as it’s such an old property. Cate is very friendly and always on hand if you need to contact her. The location is fantastic as it’s 2 mins from the hustle and bustle but still nice and quiet. Looking forward to coming back in the future

A Perfect Cotswolds Stay

This is a special property full of Cotswold charm and history, but also with all the modern conveniences. Just a leisurely five-minute stroll from the center of the village, yet away from all the touristy crowds.

A lovely stay in Bourton

Me & some friends had a wonderful stay at Middle Gable. Cat was helpful in ensuring we got checked-in OK and the neighbours were friendly. Even with five of us, the house was spacious and charming, to fit the vibe of the lovely Cotswolds town that you're almost in the middle of. A wonderful stay & a great place that we'd recommend.

Wonderful Trip to the Cotswolds

StayCotswold is a good organization to work with. The owner of the property, Cate, was kind and helpful. She gave us great advice about the area and informed us well on the quirks and joys of staying in her very old and beautiful home. The place was clean, spacious, quiet and lovely.

A week in the Cotswolds

We are very pleased to have chosen Middle Gable for our week's stay in the Cotswolds. It is the ideal place from which to venture out walking in the Cotswold countryside with the centre of Bourton-on-The-Wold less than two minutes walk away, with its many eateries, bars and shops conveniently placed along the river. The house itself is absolutely delightful to the eye both inside and out and retains many of the features of a historic building built in the mid-17th Century, The huge four-poster bed (amazingly comfortable) in the main bedroom (lying on a not exactly horizontal floor), and the vast number of paintings (which would make the Tudors feel right at home) added to the quirkiness of the property. All that was missing was a ghostly presence. Despite being almost in the heart of the village the house was very quiet which made for peaceful nights' sleep for the whole of our stay. The house had all the modern conveniences expected of a residential property even down to providing dishwasher and washing machine tablets. If we come to the Cotswolds again then Middle Gable would be our first choice for accommodation.

Highly Recommend!

If you love gardens, historic buildings, perfect location and really nice and friendly neighbours, then this is the place for you. The location is just over a block from all amenities and yet the yard is very quiet and relaxing. We had our own garden space that we could relax in.

Wonderful!

A stunning property, perfect location near to everything. The house is full of character in a beautiful setting with a very pretty garden. Very cozy at night with the wood-burner, bed very comfortable (super-king which is what we are used to). Cate was very helpful and we couldn't have asked for a better choice for a weekend break, could have stayed longer. We plan to return!
