Great Location
Callow Cottage is located within a short walking distance to the village with shops and restaurants. Taking walks around town and through the side public paths were really nice. However, the beds in the master bedroom and 2nd level queen bedroom were incredibly rickety and loud- they cracked and squeaked every time we moved. We tried to find tools to tighten the hardware, as the joints were loose, but could not find anything in the home. Overall, we enjoyed the space, amenities, location, and would recommend staying there (if the beds are fixed).

Perfect location, family-friendly
We had a wonderful one-week stay at the cottage with two young children. The location is perfect, and there is so much to explore within walking distance. The layout of the cottage is very family-friendly—our children spent hours playing in the courtyard while we relaxed in the sitting room. The neighbors were very welcoming and helpful, too!

Great place to stay in Bourton on the Water
Really enjoyed staying here, lovely house and brilliant location. Would have appreciated information on bins and recycling. Highchair was very dirty when we arrived but everything else was very clean.

Family hols
Really enjoyed our stay only downside was not being able to use the tv as it had no signal. We were notified to a problem with the en suite toilet flash before our arrival but a plumber was on site within 2 hours and had sorted it. Very good service.

8/10 Good

A great location to explore the Cotswolds.
Main problem was that you could only use one bathroom at a time as the water in the top floor shower would completely stop if somebody was using the bath or shower below. Very inconvenient when everyone is getting ready to go out. Windows extremely dirty at the back. Two big stains on the sofa and some of the bedroom doors won’t close. Apart from that the house was well equipped, milk in the fridge on arrival, biscuits, plenty of coffee capsules for the machine. Prompt reply when informed about the stains on our arrival. Great local bus service.

Cotswolds comfort
We enjoyed the house. There was plenty of room for everyone. Adequate crockery and cutlery. Possibly could do with more water glasses and wine flutes. Only thing I personally didn’t like was all the clears tools, broom, mop, vac etc was just sat in the kitchen.

Well equipped, warm cottage with brilliant access to Bourton on the water
We had a lovely stay at callow cottage, the property is warm and comfortable with good sized bedrooms. The driveway is tight for two cars but achievable and the parking is really useful. Bourton and the surrounding areas are beautiful and we enjoyed several walks from the doorstep. The only improvement required is tightening up the washers in the top bedroom shower as they leaked significantly. Thanks for a great week!

The Stuff Of Dreams…
I’ve had this vision in my head of a place that is other-worldly to my Chicago home. I didn’t think it was an American place, even in our oldest states this was more established. Then I randomly stumbled upon the Cotswolds. Stone bridges? Yup. Cute shoppes spelled “shoppes”. Yes. Stretch goal of incredibly kind people and amazing food? Nailed it. And this little cottage was our perfect home. It was three of us old friends traveling together and like all creatures in 3’s we had different needs. This place was perfect. The kitchen is adorable and really well appointed. I wished I had stayed to bake something! The living/dining room was spacious for our needs - and the furniture was comfy. The little patio allowed us to enjoy surprisingly good weather in an indoor/outdoor flow. Each bedroom was spacious and had everything at hand. I was thinking, “there must be a hairdryer”, opened a drawer and there it was. The beds were comfortable and clean. Each was simply but cutely furnished. The cottage is situated a short distance from town center, but far enough that there isn’t a lot of foot traffic nearby. Also, The Mouse Trap pub just a few doors down has incredible food and we later heard it’s quite well known. The only (slight) negative was that we had trouble with the gatelock and tried to contact someone and wasn’t able to do so. Fortunately, we figured it out. I just loved everything about it. Thank you to our gracious hosts.
