During the hot summer months the heavy winter duvets should be replaced by lightweight blankets. It can get too hot on some summer nights.

everything was lovely about the property. The whole house had been beautifully decorated. The conservatory and garden was exceptional!

1) The shower on the 1st floor didn't drain well but it was fixed with half an hour. 2) One of the window handle was dislodged and again Corrinne fixed this immediately. What I appreciate is how quickly Corrinne managed to fix the issues quickly.

1) beautiful three storey cottage with good facilities and tastefully decorated. There's 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms and a WC at the ground floor. The windows in the bedrooms and bathrooms ensure that the place is well lit and well ventilated. 2) Highlight of the place is the conservatory dining area with glass surroundings. Table setting is for up to 6 pax. The dining area leads into a nice little garden with outdoor sitting, lovely flowers and even a BBQ pit. 3) Service is first class. Corrinne attended to some small issues within a few minutes and rectify almost all the issues. She's chirpy and always have a smile, makes you feel warm and comfortable. 4) Wi-Fi is excellent throughout the house, there's carparking at the house and the kitchen facilities were working properly. The huge TV is a smart TV with streaming capability like Netflix. 5) The place is 5mins away from the Town Centre where's there's plenty of eateries and of course the wonderful Windrush river with its mini bridges and lovely ducks. There's also a large Coop 5 mins away where one can get groceries and basic necessities. 6) I will not hesitate to book this cottage if I do visit Bourton on the Water again.

Actually nothing!!

We loved our stay at Ivy Cottage! Beautifully presented, warm on arrival, and an easy walk to the town centre and park just behind. It was perfect for our family of 6—spacious, well-stocked, and full of thoughtful touches like board games, cards, WiFi, Netflix, and Disney+. A real home away from home. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Ivy Cottage, thank you for providing such a welcoming and well-kept place. The cottage was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was impressively well-equipped, and the location was perfect for our plans. It suited our needs exactly, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended!

The cottage is in a perfect location with an easy walk to Bourton on Water central and with many amenities on your doorstep. Parking is great too - which is rare in this part of town. I also really appreciated the host's responsiveness when we had to deal with a small issue, and her proactivity to rectify it for me! Thank you!

Fantastic cosy house, great after a week staying in hotels. Set up well for guests and a wonderful location. A lot of thought and attention to detail to ensure we had a great time including welcome pack. Parking was easy

Mattresses soft. Bathroom doors didnt lock. Steep stairs to bedrooms 2 and 3. No welcome biscuits or drinks but there was a pint of milk. Church bells were ringing close by all night.

Location fabulous, spacious, lovely big conservatory and garden. Road was quiet. 2 bathrooms on first floor and downstairs wc very useful.

The parking on the drive was very tight for 2 cars particularly due to the fact there was a telegraph pole at the end of the drive. We had a Range Roger Velar and Mercedes so had very little room to manoeuvre and had to park right up to the stepped entrance to property. The stairs to the 1st floor were very narrow and steep so was a little worrying for older people – it is a shame there wasn’t a bathroom on this floor which meant negotiating the stairs in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. The 1st floor bedroom didn’t really have a proper wardrobe or drawers for clothes. There were only 4 coat hangers which were not enough – luckily, I brought my own. The beds were comfortable but mattresses too soft. Generally the property was quite tired, and the furnishings were fairly basic. Blinds in 1st floor bedroom very wonky, blind in living area was hanging on by a thread. I would have preferred a more stylish, luxurious interior.

Location of the cottage is excellent being a short walk into Bourton on the Water. Plenty of choice of restaurants and pubs but it was extremely busy everywhere with tourists. It was nice and warm in the property. The garden was great for my 2 dogs and was fully enclosed. Had parking for 2 cars. The conservatory was very nice and bright for dining. Host responded promptly to my enquiry re recycling and the BBQ. Welcome basket with Diddly Squat items was nice. The Mousetrap pub opposite was very handy.

Nothing!

Lovely cottage only 5 min walk into Bourton on the Water. Quiet, great heating and easy to sleep! Easy parking and check-in process. Fabulous service from Gemma who I needed to ring and check something - answered late on a Sat afternoon. Treats, oil, milk, eggs, wine provided in a lovely hamper. Plenty of room for a family with garden out back and playground over the fence. Would definitely recommend!

The bed on the 1st floor was a bit low and mattress was too soft. The bedroom was also quite small and no space for clothes.

very good location....2 minutes walk to town. Love the dining space and outdoor sitting area.

Only thing that could be improved would be range of cooking implements eg baking trays, dishes as we enjoy cooking and without some of these we had to buy in food or go out which put cost up. Of pans and baking tins provided, they had seen better days! The drawer of the fridge was cracked and repaired with sellotape!

Location was very good, with delightful pub nearby and within walking distance of centre at Bourton on the Water where there was plenty to do. There was a lovely welcome pack of local products to start us off and a children's playground right behind property which was useful. Our host kindly returned a couple of items my grandson left behind.
