Sleeping up to five guests plus one dog, this property is ideal for both family breaks and getaways with friends. In the heart of the Cotswolds, in what is undeniably one of the country’s prettiest villages, you and your four-legged friend will be able to enjoy rambles along the unspoilt River Windrush and long lunches in one of the many dog-friendly eateries. On a hot day, the hound can even enjoy dabbling his paws in the shallow waters of the river that runs through the centre of the village!

This period property is in keeping with the quintessential charm of the village and retains many of its original features, including leaded windows and exposed beams. The cosy lounge, complete with a wood burner and vibrant comfy sofas, is the perfect place to relax with a good book and your canine chum curled at your feet. Outside, the cottage gardens are a great place for the furry one to have a good sniff whilst you relax with a glass of wine at the end of a busy day.

Bourton-on-the-Water, known for its low bridges and stone houses, is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With quaint independent boutiques and traditional tearooms, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back in time the minute you arrive. Why not stick with the theme, and pay a visit to the dog-friendly Motoring Museum and Toy Collection (just 200 metres from the property), where you can journey through history and marvel at vehicles and memorabilia of a bygone era? 13 miles away, in Winchcombe, you can pick up the Cotswold Way National Trail. The stunning 102-mile route winds its way through charming villages and past historic sites and is the perfect way to experience the variety of landscapes in this very special corner of the world.

Fantastic stay for a 60th birthday! Amazing location in the best village with everything in walking distance. Everywhere is dog friendly.

We stayed in the cottage for 1 week. It was a lovely holiday. Initially, I found the parking a bit of a squeeze but I worked out a system pretty quickly. Cottage was lovely and well equipped. Beds comfy. There are steep steps, low ceilings and we did bump our heads - but that's what you get with any cottage like this - it's all part of the holiday!Read more Location is fantastic. For several days I didn't use the car. Made the most of every shop/restaurant/walks and pubs within the village. Hide

Lovely little cottage, well appointed and perfectly located. Parking a little tight, and beware the low beams! Would stay here again.

Quaint cottage with a nice blend of old meets new and upgrades made sympathetically. Location fantastic for Bourton-o-t-Water. As the booking site, and others have mentioned, the parking is a challenge. For one trip a day its manageable. The ground and 1st floors were perfect although the uneven heights between inside and outside floors at the backRead more door did end up with some bumps on the head. The 2nd floor bedroom, in our opinion, not suitable for two people due to stairs and space . Hide

Our family including two young children had a great holiday. Our cars never moved as everything was within walking distance, including supermarkets, restaurants & places to visit. The cottage was small but well equipped. Hope to return soon.

Beautiful cottage in a great location right in the centre of Bourton on the water. Lovely garden and peaceful setting. Comfy beds and cottage all well equipped.

A stunning chocolate box cottage, central to Bourton, only a few minutes walk to the village centre. The cottage is well furnished and comfortable, with an enclosed cottage garden. The cottage is full of character, with lots of original features. Some of the beams can be low and the staircases steep which is to be expected. There are suggestions ofRead more places to visit and a guest review book which we found useful. We had a lovely week, with our dogs and would definitely recommend Vine Cottage. Hide

Great location in the centre of the village and yet tucked away from the noise and tourists. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable, with a small garden/parking space area. Parking with large cars could be a problem and the staircases to the bedrooms were steep.

With a small car and a group of young adult/middle aged guests - I would certainly recommend. Hide
