Regularly voted as the ‘prettiest village in England', Bourton-on-the-Water is the destination of choice for anyone looking for a quintessentially English holiday in the Cotswolds. Tucked away within the heart of the village is this traditional honey-coloured cottage, which would be a perfect home-from-home for two couples holidaying together along with one canine companion. Fido will love exploring the miles of scenic walks along marked trails in the beautiful surrounding countryside and the close proximity of shops, gastropubs, restaurants and museums make this a winning location for everyone.
Inside, the cottage is warm and welcoming, featuring a cosy wood burner housed within an exposed brick surround. A fluffy rug lays on the wooden floor in the centre of the room and would be an ideal spot for your four-legged friend to warm his little paws. The separate dining area is a large, characterful place to enjoy an evening meal, with a rustic pine sideboard and dresser blending beautifully with the large stone floor tiles that lead through to a well-equipped kitchen. The two sumptuous bedrooms offer guests a relaxing place to rest weary heads after a busy day of adventuring.
Confectionery fans will be in their element here as this cottage is around 100 metres' walk from a traditional sweet shop where you can fill your pockets with handmade fudge, lollipops and Parma Violets! Also in the village is the Cotswolds Motoring Museum which is a dog-friendly destination where you can explore seven galleries all packed with vintage cars, and a fascinating toy collection. Just 10 miles away is the Batsford Arboretum and Garden Centre, home to the country's largest private collection of trees and shrubs and a wonderful place for a long leisurely walk.
