Absolutely nothing to dislike!

If one could distill together the ambiance of The Cotswolds, the beauty of the landscape, the variety of day trips, the hospitality of Coombe House and the charm of our owner/host David, one would have a heady concoction indeed! Our four day stay in David’s charming B&B was a highlight of our recent trip to the UK. The attention to every detail and the comfort of every room at Coombe House made our stay storybook perfect. David is the consummate host, always ready with suggestions for wonderful local restaurants, scenic drives, picturesque villages, and fun pubs to visit. During our stay he even gave us “homework” m, challenging us to discover certain true but quirky facts about our planned destinations. The bedrooms are well appointed with all modern conveniences and complimentary coffee, tea, and biscuits, with cold milk and bottled water in the mini-fridge. And the public rooms are comfortable and homey, ideal places to relax with a glass of wine and a book. Breakfast each morning was superb, freshly prepared to order based on our selections recorded the previous evening. The best element of our stay, however, was our delightful new acquaintance with David. We look forward to our next visit and encourage one and all to seek out Coombe House and David for an unforgettable visit to Bourton-on-the-Water

Nothing. It was perfect.

Excellent location, very close to the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water but far enough away to be separate from the summer crowds. Well appointed rooms, excellent hearty breakfast. Host David was exceptional.

Staying there for an extra few days !

The Coombe house guest house is very conveniently located to the Village center and is approx a 5 minute walk. There was ample parking and a lovely well maintained garden at the front. We requested 2 single beds and the room was an ample size and contained its own bathroom and there was plenty of space to store our clothes and plenty of draw space as well. The room was supplied with a kettle and tea & coffee and biscuits. There was also fresh milk stored in the fridge which was replaced daily. We had a lovely warm welcome from the owner and host David ,and he carried our bags to our room. He explained that we complete a pre printed sheet the nights before for our breakfast requirements the next morning and then leave the completed form in the reception area for him to collect later. The choice and quality and quantity of the breakfasts was excellent and set us up for the day. David was a charming host and had plenty of time to chat to all of his guests answering question and suggesting places to visit. We did not know what to expect when we booked this guest house on Booking .com but it was truly excellent in all ways , I will definitely stay there again the next time we visit the area and cannot recommend this guest house highly enough for others looking for a stay in this area . Well done David , you really made us feel at home ........ we will be back one day .

There was absolutely nothing to dislike, would definitely return here & recommend.

We have stayed in numerous accommodations in Bourton on the Water as travel up each year to visit family. This is definitely a new favourite of ours. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by David, we were given drinks & cake on arrival whilst he chatted to us about himself & the property in a very friendly way. The rooms were very clean, good comfy beds & pillows. Well equipped room with enough hangers in the wardrobe, hairdryer, mirrors, tea & coffee & good biscuits plus a fridge. Good quality towels & toiletries in the bathroom & a decent shower. Breakfast was of a high standard with a good variety of choice including a lovely fresh fruit salad, yogurts, full English, salmon ect... lovely atmosphere at breakfast with everyone sharing their plans for the day. A shout out to the Northampton ladies who were very friendly & a pleasure to chat to.🥰 There is outside seating in the garden & a balcony/patio with seating . The village is a short walk along the road, no more than 10 minute stroll.

I am not used to the British showers in general when the water flow is so minimal. I'm used to my 5-minute showers back home but here in England it takes 15 minutes for the difficulty of rinsing off the conditioner from my long hair.

The location is excellent and the host is very hospitable. Breakfast is fantastic. The room is spacious and bed comfortable. TV functioned well.What a brilliant spot to also see other villages in the Cotswalds.

Really appreciated that the owner David kindly helped with carrying our luggages up and down the flight of stairs. David was personable and responsive. While guests were not permitted to bring hot food into the room, there was a second floor patio where you could eat your takeaways, weather permitting. Breakfast was generous and delicious. The garden and premises were charming and there were adequate car park spaces. Enjoyed the 10-minute walk into the town centre.

Nothing it was one of the most well run B&Bs I’ve ever stayed at.

Great location, well maintained property, very clean, great breakfast, great host and very helpful. I’d give David a 10 out of 5 if I could.

The only negative thing about the experience wasn't about Coombe House at all, rather just the transportation situation in the Cotswolds. If you're not renting a car, make sure to book all your taxis in advance. Coombe House itself was in walking distance to a grocery store and restaurants, but getting into and out of the Cotswolds was a bit troublesome and expensive, between trains, buses and taxis

Staying at Coombe House was an absolutely magical experience. The house itself was beautiful and well-appointed. It was in walking distance to the main downtown area with restaurants. The breakfast was delicious and the dining room had a view of an enchanting garden right outside the windows. At night it was serene and quiet. David himself was a fantastic and engaging host, and provided assistance and information as needed.
