Absolutely the perfect cottage in a great location
Just a lovely little cottage as advertised, in a super convenient location. Everything was available within a short walk from the cottage. It served as a great base from which to explore other nearby villages and attractions, some even within walking distance using the trail whose access was literally behind the cottage. The host was very responsive to the very few questions we had. Luckily it was also cool enough to take advantage of the wonderful wood burner. All in all, we're real happy with how everything went!

Beautiful cottage in wonderful location
Cosy, well equipped cottage only a stone throws away from the Main Street. Beautifully furnished. Only one negative is that the 2nd single bedroom is up a very, tight spiral staircase - great care needed when descending.

a home away from home!
We absolutely loved staying in the Captain's Cabin. Bourton on the Water is in a great location for day trips, but we had to pull ourselves away from this adorable and bustling little village. Location of the Captain's Cabin is quiet and peaceful, but just a two minute walk to all that Bourton on the Water has to offer! We loved ending our days cuddling up by the fire and had the best sleep in the charming and comfortable bedroom.

Our wonderful stay at the Captains Cabin
We really enjoyed a lovely stay at the Captains Cabin, it's a beautiful little cottage (mind your head!!) in a lovely peaceful spot and yet it is only minutes walk from the centre of the very picturesque Bourton on the Water. The village is a lovely spot with lots of choices to eat and drink while enjoying the beauty of the river. The cottage itself has everything that you could want and need, it is a very well designed and well equipped small space. You couldn't ask for anything more if you are looking to enjoy a stay in the Cotswolds. We would highly recommend a visit and would love to go back.

We still rent again!
We loved Bourton-on-the-Water. Neither myself or my friend are tall but if we were getting up stairs and missing the main beam in living area would have been troublesome. While the website said stairs were trying, it was not noted that there’s two sets, one as difficult as the other. Tho there was construction going on next door, the workmen were polite and our neighbors were delightful!

A really cozy historical cottage with all the modern amenities. And the most incredible thing is that it is so close to the commercial center of town, yet it really is amazingly quiet — the perfect blend for a countryside getaway. The host was very helpful, communicated easily and helped immediately when I had a question.

Beautiful quaint cottage
Gorgeous quaint cottage in a fabulous village, parking to the front and right in the centre, easy access to everything. The cottage was clean, cosy, warm and well presented with comfy beds. It’s a compact cottage but has everything you need for a short getaway. Logs for the wood burner and a bottle were also there on arrival, thanks

Excellent location close to centre of town and walking tracks but tucked away from “hustle and bustle”. You can hear the bells from the church which adds to the overall atmosphere. Peter is an excellent host, and very prompt to respond to any queries. The welcoming bottle of milk and wine was appreciated after a long day of travel. Would definitely stay again if we ever have the opportunity.

Our stay at Captan Cottage was everything we expected. The cottage exudes charm at every level. It also provides you with a great example of what’s like to live in a grade 2 property (e.g., narrow challenging stairs). Location was also spectacular being right in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water. I highly recommend this property for anyone wishing to experience the Cotswolds.

Very ideally located, carefully selected decor and easy to communicate with the owners. The stairs are challenging as described by the listing. Anyone with any type of mobility issue needs to be aware of the fact that both bedrooms are up very narrow steps.

Such a cozy space with a fully stocked kitchen and bath and so much atmosphere! Walking distance to all of the shops, with a footpath directly behind the property to wander further. We enjoyed a fire in the wood stove every evening. The only downside were the beds, which were uncomfortable in our opinion. But all in all, a nice stay with a very responsive host.
