    The cottage was perfectly outfitted for a comfortable stay. Excellent location and a comprehensive guide book to the area was a nice touch. We absolutely appreciated having access to a washing machine with the backyard drying rack. The parking,...

    Loved the location, so near everything and yet peaceful. Loved the cottage, it was so clean and fresh, it felt very welcoming and so cozy, home from home. Loved the garden area too, nice to have privacy.

Property info

Forsythia Cottage is a charming, Grade II listed cottage that dates back to the 17th century. It forms part of one of the original terraces situated within the peaceful backwaters of Bourton-on-the-Water’s picturesque High Street. The cottage sleeps three guests in two bedrooms, with a family shower room. It has an open-plan living-dining area with a wood burner effect fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen to one side. Outside is a long, sunny courtyard garden with armchairs to enjoy a coffee or sundowner and a table with four chairs and a BBQ for alfresco entertaining. Unusually, for a cottage so close to the town’s attractions, there is private, off-street parking for one vehicle. The stairs up to the bedrooms and bathroom are steep (though there is a sturdy handrail), which makes this cottage inadvisable for guests with restricted mobility. There is no BBQ available at Forsythia Cottage. Book with us to get exclusive discounts to top attractions and experiences.

Neighborhood info

Bourton-on-the-Water is rightfully one of the Cotswolds most visited villages with a wealth of attractions, delightful shops and eating establishments to suit everyone’s taste. The River Windrush flows through the centre, and is spanned by several, low arched bridges flanked by wide village greens and lovely period Cotswold stone buildings, giving the village its well-known moniker of Venice of the Cotswolds. Forsythia is less than a minute’s walk from the river and its beautiful bridges, making it the perfect place to visit all the sights, including the Model Village, Birdland Park and Gardens, the Motor Museum, the Dragonfly Maze and the Cotswold Brewing Company.
