• "Lovely cottage in a great location in Bourton, close to shops and restaurants."

  Having a parking space was also a big plus as I've stayed in Bourton previously and had to use a nearby car park. We had a lovely holiday and would come back again

• "The cottage was extremely cold on arrival and the heating was switched off."

  It took us a while to figure out the heating and even after that it took about 8-10 hours for the cottage to heat up to a comfortable temperature. So, our first night was quite uncomfortable. Considering the extreme weather conditions, this is something we would've expected to be looked after upon check-in. Other than this issue, our stay was great. Additionally, we were driving a Jeep Compass and even though the approach road to the parking was a little narrow, we managed comfortably. Overall, we would definitely recommend Wadham!

  Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the heating. We have passed your comments onto the owner to investigate. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you found the central location in Bourton, convenient. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

• "Just to say a huge thank you."

  I took my dad and eldest son, so 3 Generations of the Evans family, and it was perfect. My dad lived in Great Risslington during and after the war and was talking about the snow of 1947, and we managed to find his house, he also when courting my mother, who left us 4 yrs ago now, they lived coming to stay in BOW, in the Old New Inn, so his face lit up when we went there, and all of this so close to the cottage, and my oldest boy has had problems the last couple of years so to see him smiling and laughing and enjoying himself was priceless, the beds are so so comfy, and the living room perfect and snug, and the kitchen was amazing it had everything and we spent hours sat around the table talking it was lush, we managed with the bathroom, but if you could get a walk in shower, I could then never see anyone having a problem, as that is what we needed to make it absolutely’ perfect. Let’s just say in short I will be back with my partner hopefully this year, and ideally we want to make Mon-Fri the week of mayday a yearly thing with my Dad and sim, so when 2024 prices are out let me know as I will book straight away

  Thank you for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. We're delighted you and your family had such an enjoyable stay at Wadham Cottage which brought back some happy memories. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

  Small, but almost everything you need. We had an issue with one of the radiators not working. But after a call to the owner it was fixed the next day. The ceiling in the bathroom was so low my husband couldn't stand up straight. So he had to have baths. Perfect location, just a short stroll to the village. Great for coming back from the pub. Would stay again

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and are sorry to hear about the radiator but glad the owner fixed this issue quickly for you. We have updated the description so that future guests are aware of limited head-height in the bathroom. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

• "Cosy cottage in the beautiful village of Bourton on the water."

  Private parking which is a bonus. Short walk to the village with ample shops, pubs and restaurants. Large garden although gaps in hedge so dog can get through to neighbours garden then leading onto busy main road. There is street noise and the church bells situated to the side of the cottage rings every hour but not an issue . Overhaul another wonderful holiday in Wadham Cottage

  We're so pleased that you enjoyed your return holiday to Wadham Cottage, and its close proximity to the centre of the village. The shared garden is unfortunately not fully enclosed and therefore guests do need to keep an eye on their dogs. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

  Perfect location for Bourton-On-The-Water. Ideal for a lovely stroll into the village for shops, cafes and pubs etc. The cottage had everything we needed. And was very comfortable. It kept the heating in well. At times felt too hot. The church bells were lovely and didn’t distract or bother us. We were not disturbed by the traffic or people passing the cottage. We would recommend the lovely cottage. And it’s an ideal location for visiting the local pretty villages. If we come back to the area, we would book here again. Even our dog loved it here.

• "This is a lovely Cottage in a lovely location."

  It is a tight drive but manageable. The Church chimes are lovely and did not wake us, quite useful in the night to tell the time. The outside space is very open ( no individual space ) and our Dog did escape and wander down the drive to the road, bit scarey but no harm done, we attached him to the coat hooks after so he could wander in and out. We arrived at 3.30 pm being prepared to wait but Cottage was ready. Mousetrap Pub was less commercial and did Curry Night Tuesday - very good. Smith's Burgers and Chip Shed highly recommended. Neighbours friendly . Lots to do and lovely places to visit, we loved Batsford Arbaretum . Lots of Dog Friendly places and lots of water bowls about and of course there is always the River to paddle in.

  Thank you for providing this lovely feedback with some helpful recommendations. The Cotswolds is very dog friendly - we're glad your dog didn't travel too far on his own though! We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

  The owner rang to make sure we had settled in OK which was a nice touch. The village and surrounding areas have a lot to offer and we really enjoyed out visit. There were a few little niggles but they didn't spoil the holiday at all. 1. The sofas springs are getting worn 2. The bath is set too close to the head wall to allow one to lie out comfortably. It would be better replaced by a shower unit. 3. The front door Yale lock is loose and sometimes sticks when entering the property. Overall very happy.

• "The shared garden was a real benefit and we all had a lovely week, including the children."

  The cottage was very comfortable and the beds were especially so. My only negative point is not the fault of the cottage - but due to the proximity of the clock tower, which was very nearby and which chimed every 15 minutes 24/7, I found it impossible to sleep on the first night. It is a lovely sound, but for me it was the repetitive and persistent nature of it which was troublesome during the night. After I got hold of some earplugs, that solved the problem for the rest of the week! I would quite like to have known this in advance so that I could have got some earplugs before I arrived. That said, noone else in the family seemed to mind!

  It is a really pretty place. Off street parking makes life very easy and the whole town is just footsteps away. Inside the furnishings are lovely, clean and, comfy.

  The cottage is clean and comfy, but quite small if there were 4 adults sharing, it is best suited to two adults and two children as the 2nd bedroom is accessed via the 1st bedroom. We would suggest that the bathroom could be updated to have a showerscreen, and the access to the parking is really quite tricky. We have a 4 x 4 car and getting to the parking space was 'snug' to say the least, (with wing mirrors turned in, we had 3 inches on either side of the car !!)
