In the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water, this spacious home is a spot to gather friends and family amid beautiful surroundings. With four spacious bedrooms soaked in light, simply step outside to enjoy drinks on the terrace. Just moments from some of the Cotswolds’ most notable landmarks, spend your days walking along the river, exploring Stow-on-the-Wold or discovering the history of Cheltenham Spa.

Full Description

South Winds has classic, refined interiors in a tranquil location just moments from the heart of one of the Cotswolds’ favourite villages, Bourton-on-the-Water. Close to the centre of this romantic town known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’ thanks to the River Windrush which flows directly through it, this country hideaway is perfect for those looking for some peace and quiet.

You will be drawn to the light-flooded, open-plan kitchen which leads into the large suntrap garden. This bright and airy space with a natural solid oak dining table is perfect for bringing generations of families or friends together. Opening the doors to the living room you can expand the space and create a fabulous area for spending time with your fellow guests. The snug is a cosy hideaway for anybody wanting to watch an important football game or for the children to entertain themselves. Upstairs each bedroom has been lovingly furnished letting you feel at home, with the added benefit of a ground floor en-suite double bedroom to suit a multitude of families.

Two sets of French doors encourage you outside to the flower-bordered, south-facing garden with views onto the surrounding Cotswold countryside; with a patio, garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ. You will be hard pushed not to immediately want to fling open the double French doors and collapse onto the Rattan furniture (maybe making a G&T on the way!). Grab a blanket when the sun goes down and you can continue to enjoy the outdoors for hours feeling snug.


Ground Floor

Flooded with light this spacious living area has a glass roof lantern and two sets of French doors opening onto the rear garden.

Utility Room:
The utility room keeps some of the household essentials out of the way with a washer/dryer and ironing facilities stored here.

Living Room:

This property is lovely and generally very clean and really well equipped. Set off the main road into Bourton it is a quiet location and has a lovely big parking area that we easily got 3 cars on. Easy walking distance along well made footpaths (just under a mile) to the town with loads of restaurants and pubs. Lovely big social area around the table in the kitchen which had everything we needed for our stay. We used the master bedroom and the ensuite, which is nice and roomy, has a comfortable bed, and a big ensuite with a lovely powerful shower over bath.

We stayed as a family of 5 adults and a baby. The layout was perfect for us and gave us all privacy. The family room on the back was great for us all to come together. Walking distance to Bourton. Had a great stay.

Really lovely house in a great location for Bourton. The kitchen diner extension especially was great.You couldn’t beat the location, the outside space was great. The beds were comfy, linen and towels were clean. The extension is really light and a large table for food and games. Plenty of kitchenware, to prepare various meals including a toastie maker and coffee machine. I would stay here again if visiting Bourton.

Location

One of the prettiest villages in England, Bourton on the Water is often referred to as the ''Little Venice'' of the Cotswolds. The River Windrush flows through the centre, spanned by low arched bridges, flanked by wide village greens and lovely period Cotswold stone buildings. Bourton on the Water has more than its fair share of honey-coloured Cotswold houses, many of them dating back to Elizabethan times and now home to independent tourist shops, unique gifts, and cafés.
