Bridges of Bourton

If you’re after a stylish base in the heart of the Cotswolds, this Bourton-on-the-Water cottage fits the bill nicely. Inside, the interiors nail the modern country charm brief perfectly, and each bedroom is as elegant as the next. While outside, the private patio and barbecue setup make an inviting spot for slow brunches or evening drinks. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac yet just a two-minute stroll from Bourton-on-the-Water’s cafés and independent shops, the location is hard to beat. There’s private driveway parking too (a rare perk in such a central setting), making day trips to nearby Broadway and Stow-on-the-Wold all the easier.

Home truths:
*If you’re travelling with little ones, a cot and high chair can be provided. You’ll need to request these with your host in advance.
*There is private parking on the driveway for two cars.
*Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will want to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.
*Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.
*Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.
*While one of the bedrooms and the bathroom aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
