Picture Perfect

The cottage was very welcoming & cosy, perfectly located to experience the village & local sites. A home from home. The owners were lovely and it was reassuring to have their details, they clearly care about service and care for guests staying at North House. Had a beautiful family trip where we explored, bonded, reconnected with nature and discovered a whole new area. We will definitely be back for more.

Beautiful home in a perfect location

North House has all the comforts of home, in the beautiful village of Bourton-on-the-Water. It's a peaceful haven in what can be a busy place, and it comes well-equipped (although a washer/dryer would have made the offering complete). Would recommend North House to anyone wanting a great location for a Cotswolds getaway.

A Cotswolds Delight

It would be hard to find a better located place to stay than North House in Bourton-on-the-Water. Everything we wanted to do was within a five minute walk and, most things were even closer! The cottage itself was very comfortable and cosy with ample facilities to make our stay with another couple very enjoyable. A great place to stay.

June stay

Accommodation was lovely and extremely convenient in the centre of town. Parking space very welcome given the village was swamped with visitors. Good eateries with selection of meal choices for dinner are thin on the ground in BotW however the Bakery on the Water did exceptional filled croissants for breakfast.

A lovely cottage in a fantastic location!

We loved our stay at North Cottage. The open plan downstairs worked really well for our toddler as we could always see him. Beds were comfy and everything was well presented. The location really won the show - and to have parking too was a massive positive for us!

Beautiful Cottage in Bourton-in-the-Water

We had a great stay at this cottage in the Cotswolds. Was a bonus to have dedicated parking at the front. Just a little feedback for the housekeeping team, the bins in the kitchen had not been emptied from the previous stay so we had to do this ourselves.

Nice stay in the cotswalds

We had a nice stay at the north house with our family of four. We knew that the house was old and small, so no surprises there. The location is perfect, right in the center of the lovely village. For this high price per night we would have expected nicer and wider beds and more comfortable dining chairs. All in all a nice stay

Absolutely stunning

This place was was absolutely wonderful. It was exactly what we were looking for. It had all the Cotswolds charm! Loved sitting in the back garden in the evenings with a glass of wine unwinding from our daily site seeing. It’s location was perfect, everything was within walking distance. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. It was extremely clean and was well equipped for all our needs. We will definitely be back to stay here again.

An amazing stay, highly recommend.

We had the most amazing stay at North House. We are holidaying from Australia, and The Cotswolds was one area we were very keen to visit. Bourton on the Water did not disappoint. The cottage was gorgeous and had everything we needed, it was clean, modern and a perfect layout. We particularly loved the back yard for the kids to run around in. The location was absolutely fabulous - a few doors up from the perfumery, antique shops and one street back from the river and main strip which had restaurants, pub, tea rooms, shops etc. It was one of the best holiday accomodations we have experienced. I can highly recommend this amazing property.

Very enjoyable stay

My partner and I enjoyed a fabulous week long out of season (November) break at North House. Bourton-on-the-Water is not only a beautiful place but is centrally located to visit other places of interest within the Cotswolds. The accommodation itself was immaculately clean and extremely comfortable - a real ‘home from home’. Lovely pubs, shops, restaurants and take-a-ways all on your doorstep and the off street parking a huge bonus. Would definitely recommend. Many thanks to hosts Suzie and Adam.

Perfect accommodation in a very convenient and idyllic location

When we arrived on a rainy, chilly evening it was very welcoming to find that the heating was on. The house was spotlessly clean and perfect in every way. The bathroom was spacious and modern, the master bedroom was big enough with plenty of storage and a comfortable bed. The property is located on a quiet street minutes walk from many pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants. The kitchen is small, but fully equipped should you decide to cook. The garden was secluded and not overlooked and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio when the weather improved for a couple of days. We have stayed in many self catering rental properties and this is one of the best.

North House Rocks!!

So if you are fortunate enough to have a little time to spend in the Cotswolds-- and you want a lovely cottage a few steps to the water with a beautiful private backyard garden, modern appliances, a parking space in a village with few of them, cozy bedrooms with views, very comfortable sitting space living room to relax, a very responsive owner, all the amenities you could possibly want-- then THIS IS YOUR HOME!. We from the states and spend lots of time in the Cotswolds and find Bourton on the water to be the best central launch point with superb dining and drinking options-- a co-op nearby-- and awesome walking trails-- we hoped to find an authentic home to relax in which is both close to the shopping/eating/pubbing and yet removed enough to not be in the crowded and the North House was everything we could have asked for. THANKS for allowing us to stay and hope we can visit again quite soon.
