Excellent property in the heart of the village

We had a lovely short break in this property. It had everything we needed and the location was brilliant. Comfy, clean and well equipped, there was even a Christmas tree which was a nice touch! Despite the freezing temperatures outside, the house was lovely and warm and the welcome flowers and cookies were much appreciated. I would definitely recommend this property.

Bourton on the water

Two years ago stayed at West Lavender cottage and this time stayed at East Lavender cottage. Both provide lovely clean accommodation with all the equipment you need for a restful stay. It is just a very short walk from the main street in Bourton and very convenient for visiting many places in the Cotswolds.

The property was very well located and comfortable. The main bedroom should have a shower over the bath. The bath is somewhat difficult to get in and out of particularly for older people.

Australia to Boughton on the Water

Had a great time here. The highlights were 2 of the suggested walks from the Information Centre. The cottage was very comfortable and close to town. The key safe was difficult to open but that was the only negative thing. Overall it was excellent.

Lovely Home in Perfect Location

This lovely home is perfectly located in walking distance to the town center and right next to a wonderful grocery store. It has all the amenities needed for a family or friends who want to cook, make coffee or do laundry. The washing machine and dryer are fantastic and the host provides detergent. So nice to have a microwave and dishwasher as well. Love the outdoor seating area which is private.

3 night stay

Great location. Loved that we had 2 1/2 baths for the two of us! Slanted roof a little troublesome for my 6’3” husband but we knew that going in. I would definitely refer this Vrbo to others. Only complaint: bed a little short for tall people and magazines need to be updated from 2022. Suggestion: instructions for recycling. I felt guilty throwing away things that I know can be recycled. Also, internet was good the first night but very weak after that.

Perfect place in the Cotswolds

We absolutely loved staying at Lavender Barn East. It was the PERFECT place to explore several Cotswolds villages, and we especially loved walking 2 minutes into Bourton-on-the -Water every morning and evening. The home was immaculately clean, just as pictured, and our hosts were lovely and prompt in replying when we had questions. The milk and cookies they left out for us, as well as the gorgeous bouquet of flowers that greeted us from the kitchen table were over and above- we felt truly welcomed. My husband and I, in our 50s, brought our two 20 yr old nieces with us, and the four of us spent a lovely 5 days exploring the area from this perfectly comfortable home. We drove to Broadway, Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-Marsh, and every day we spent our mornings and evenings in the lovely village of Bourton-on-the-Water. We also had a delicious “Sunday Roast” at a restaurant in Bourton-on-the-Water; everything in the village of Bourton-on-the-Water was walking distance from the beautiful Lavender Barn East, where we stayed. When we return to the Cotswolds in the future, we will most definitely stay here again- it was lovely, it was our favorite Cotswolds village, and it is the perfect place to explore several other villages. Thank you so much to our hosts; we hope to come back one day.

Beautiful cottage on a quiet part of the street. We were only a few minutes walk to Main Street Bourton, a grocery store and bus stops. It was a perfect location with all the amenities you need for a home away from home. The host John was very responsive to our questions and extremely helpful. We stayed for 2 weeks and would definitely stay here again. The cottage was pristine inside and everything looked brand new.

This was a fantastic stay. The house is really well equipped with everything needed for a holiday stay whether for a few days or longer. The rooms are all very comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of cooking equipment and a large fridge and freezer. I really appreciate how simply furnished the property was with large windows making it light and airy. The only slight issue was initially getting into the property, but everything was fine once in. The property's location is excellent, away from the busyness of Bourton centre which was only 10 minutes walk away. It also has a large Co-op supermarket at the back of the property and it is in easy access of walkways into nature.
