The ground floor has been tastefully renovated to create an open plan layout with a beautiful kitchen, equipped with many mod-cons and a rustic wooden breakfast bar.

Perfect for a weekend away
We had a lovely stay, the house is very well equipped and comfortable. It is a perfect location with just a short walk to the centre. Host was great we would definitely visit again.
The host was very helpful and was keen to ensure we were settled and comfortable. We recieved a welcome gift as well. Propert was very clean and well prepared for a family stay. Everything worked and we were extremely impressed. Would highly recommend

Enjoyable stay
We really enjoyed our weekend here. House was lovely and location perfect. Very clean and tidy and had everything we needed (except tin opener!!) comfy beds and house had lovely layout from a social point of view. Nice to have off road parking too.
Lovely house. Tastefully decorated. Comfortable beds and ideally located. The only 2 criticisms would be that the fridge is noisy and the lounge sofa is not comfortable, nor are the chairs beside it. This means it’s not overly comfy to sit and chill in the house of an evening.

Ross House Review
I would highly recommend Ross House. It was in a great location, was clean and tidy and was a beautiful house.
They stay was made even better as it had been decorated beautifully for Christmas which made our stay very special.
The only issue we had was the bed in the 3rd bedroom was very uncomfortable and difficult to sleep in.

Lovely , well equipped house
Ross house was perfectly situated for walking into Bourton on the water. The house was beautiful, clean, well equipped and the towels and bed linen was vey nice. The artificial grass and a dog ( you are asked to not let your dog toilet on the grass) is a bit of a struggle when the doors are open and you can’t always notice if they have been to the toilet . Other than that the stay was perfect and we would definitely go back

Comfortable stay and extremely clean
Ross House is situated on a housing estate on the edge of Bourton on the Water approximately a 10 minute walk into the centre of the village. The house was immaculately clean, comfortable and very well kept. The beds were very comfortable with good quality bed linen. The garden was also very well kept and the driveway was a bonus. As someone has already mentioned in a previous review, the kitchen and dining area are very dark although this didn’t really affect our stay as we were out all day.

Couldn’t have been better
Ross House is in an excellent location , only a 10 minute walk from the centre, and it is a really comfortable home from home! There were lovely little extras on arrival which was great and much appreciated but
what impressed us the most was the cleanliness of the property! It was immaculate! Every room was fresh and clean , there is just nothing to be improved upon ! Thank you

Great location
We had a great time at Ross House. Only a short walk to all of the pubs, shops etc. very nice little touches in the property. The only criticism that we had were squeaky floor boards upstairs kept waking our 9 month old baby. He is a light sleeper, so we found every time we walked away after putting him down, the noise would wake him again. This obviously would not be an issue for everyone and we would recommend the property.

Week stay with family
We had a love 5 days at Ross House. We were 4 adults, a baby and a dog and felt we had plenty of room in the property. It was close to Bourton on the Water and in a good location to drive to other places within the cotswolds. The house itself was very warm and clean. The only few areas to improve would be 5pm check in is quite late where most other places are 3pm. Some of the door handles were quite loose and there was no mop which would have been handy for muddy paws coming in and out of the garden! Otherwise very quiet and peaceful stay!

Ross House Staycation
I enjoyed 4 nights here with my partner and dog. Very dog friendly in a great location, 10 minute walk into the main town of Bourton on the water. You can tell the house has recently been updated and decorated to give a modern feel however, the main issue was the bathroom. The cleanliness and standard of this was very disappointing. Dirt and dust around the floor, mouldy and worn away skirting boards. The shower looked as though it hasn’t had a good clean in a while, grime on all of the tiles. Very disappointing considering the cleanliness of the rest of the house.

Fantastic house, great location, responsive host, all the little extras had been thought of.
We had a really lovely stay. The house was very clean and there were lots of little extras that made it feel like a home from home. Just a short stroll from Bourton-on-the-Water. Our host was very helpful and responsive.
all good but suggest, more knives, some tongs, and a bit of oil on upstairs door hinges but overall very happy with stay.

Excellent location
Excellent location to explore the cotswalds. Within walking distance of the town.
The kitchen is quite tired looking. Dishwasher door hanging to the side and a draw did not close properly which effected the top draw. The shower was not very powerful. Not big issues and we still had a lovely time. But perhaps the kitchen needs some tlc.

Shower
Shower in the bathroom needs attention or replacing. Very dark interior downstairs, bit gloomy especially in lounge area.
