Man’s best friend will love snoozing in this house’s pretty garden and furnished patio in summer or by the wood burner in cooler months. And two-legged guests will love the wonderful location of this three-bed, family-friendly house, set in picture postcard Bourton-on-the-Water. It makes a great base for a family, extended family or friendship group to explore this quaint village and beyond in the Cotswolds.
The open-plan kitchen/diner is spacious with a cottage vibe thanks to the wood burner and exposed wood beams, but offers guests all mod cons for a relaxing break. The wood-finish floor is practical for four-legged friends and while they doze, you can enjoy cosy evenings dining and making memories at the modern wood table in front of the wood burner. At one end there’s a comfortable seating area and the other comprises a sleek fitted kitchen with all you’ll need – and probably more. The double-aspect lounge has comfortable sofas, a TV and French doors out to the patio, so you and your dog can come and go. Upstairs, the sleeping accommodation comprises one king-size and two double bedrooms, all with light and neutral decor for total relaxation. The private garden is small but perfectly formed, and it’s enclosed so dogs and children are safe. It has a charming mix of lawn, mature planting and a patio table for six for those BBQ nights.
Criss-cross the unusual low bridges over the river in Bourton-on-the-Water centre and have a mooch with your pooch around its cafes, pubs and shops – many dog-friendly. Or head out with lead in hand to explore the many footpaths in the local area, with access from the village to The Cotswold and Winchcombe Way.
