"Overall as advertised."
One small gripe - only providing one toilet roll for four people for a week is a bit mean.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We do only provide starter supplies for all stays, however there should have been 2 toilet rolls made available so we will raise your comment with housekeeping. Kind Regards, Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Lovely property with an incredible location!"
We loved being able to walk to shops, restaurants and experience the charming town. House was clean, comfortable and very true to listing photos. We also loved learning a bit more about the home owner's family history and loved visiting the Model Village.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so glad you found Weir Cottage to be so clean and comfortable, and loved the location too. We hope you will return. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"This cottage is in a fantastic location, our stay was also very relaxing and enjoyable, the one thing for improvement would be the shower it wasn’t easy to use, the flow was very aggressive and the temperature was hard to control, but other than that the cottage is a little gem."
-
"Lovely little cottage."
Nice and cosy and we had a brilliant Christmas Day in Weir cottage. It was nicely decorated with a tree and decor. Great location to walk into Bourton-on-the-Water along the water path in less than 5 minutes. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for this lovely review. We're so glad you had such an enjoyable Christmas at Weir Cottage and loved the location too. We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Weir cottage was very good."
the only thing I would say is there was no walk in shower also no Sky TV and no TV in bedroom every cottage we have stayed at they have these facilities other than that it was very good
-
"Anything negative is just the way that it is with an older building and proximity to the road."
A couple of the rooms were under used due to the low ceilings and my 6 foot height. The busyness of the road was tolerable during the day but at night kids were doing figure 8s in the Birdland parking lot. I thought I was back in Atlanta. But the proximity to shops and hiking were outstanding and we left the rental car parked all week. It was hot early in our stay but cool inside with the windows open.

"Great cottage and very well located for the village and travel to surrounding areas."
Fantastic to have parking and a beautiful outdoor space. The cottage had everything we needed and lots of information. Very comfortable especially the beds and good quality linen. Walking distance to a great bakery for morning pastries and numerous pubs, bars and eateries for the rest of the day. Large supermarket a short walk away. Dial house for a special occasion. Would recommend a stay here.
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the local amenities. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

Lovely house Good facilities Ideally located for walks. We intend to return

"The images of the cottage gave the impression it was in a quiet secluded area however it was on a main road ."
Hence traffic noise & people walking past & looking directly in the window was an issue ,
Thank you for providing us with feedback on your stay at Weir Cottage. We can only apologise for the way you feel the images did not represent the cottage properly. We will investigate the property listing to make sure it is as accurate as possible. Best wishes, Character Cottages. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay in Bourton-on-the-Water."
The cottage is well situated with access to shops, cafes and restaurants only a 5 minute walk away and secure off road parking also being very beneficial. (The local Coop was also just round the corner.)The only thing I would say is as it is situated on the main road through the village the traffic noise can be heard when sitting outside and at night but it didn’t stop as from sleeping. Overall we had a lovely week and would recommend the cottage for couples and families.
Brilliant, you had a lovely week in Weir Cottage with the shops and cafe nearby. Pleased to hear the village traffic was not a disturbance for you. We appreciate your feedback and the recommendation. Best Wishes Character Cottages. Property Owner

"What an incredible and quintessentially Cotswold cottage, could not have asked for a better location or more perfect spot to enjoy Bourton on the Water."
The owner actually greeted us and gave us a bit of history. The cottage was built by her grandfather who, in fact, was also the builder of the Bourton on the Water Model Village, an easy three minute walk from the cottage. Having a clothes washer and dryer was so helpful and the solarium and two patios were perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring The Cotswolds! Five star experience!
Fabulous you had a great stay in the cottage and loved the location. So pleased you enjoyed the background history of the property and Bourton on the Water. Glad you made use of the patios to relax after a long day. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. Best Wishes, Character Cottages. Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay at weir cottage ."
For the price we paid didn’t think it was value for money . The welcome pack was a bit mean a bottle of Prosecco & 1 pint of milk . The cleanliness was very poor cobwebs were everywhere and not just been there over night they’ve been there a long time ,above main bedroom window there was massive cobwebs also behind the drawers in the hall were disgusting not been cleaned in a long time . Skirting boards were dirty behind the drawers ,in the other bedroom there was mould and cobwebs behind bedside drawers.It was in need of a good clean . It says in the welcome pack you get kitchen roll there wasn’t any , 3 dish towels we only got 1 for a weeks stay , no bin bags to change the bin.. The shower was terrible no power it took about 10 mins to get the correct temperature. Shower rail comes away from the wall . I’m well aware it’s an old cottage but that doesn’t mean a decent shower can’t be put in also there’s no excuse for the cleanliness. I’m not sure if the owner checks the cleaning of the cottage I would recommend they do as it’s such a shame as it was a nice cottage just needs some attention.

"Fantastic Stay The cottage is in a brilliant location, nearly in the centre ..."
Fantastic Stay The cottage is in a brilliant location, nearly in the centre of Bourton-on-the-water Very clean and cosy cottage, lovely furniture and decor in keeping with the style (Just keep in mind the ceilings downstairs are very low) Really enjoyed our stay and will be booking again :)

"We had been looking forward to our stay and Weir Cottage did not disappoint!"
A lovely cottage with everything and more we could need for a weeks stay. The perfect position to explore wonderful Bourton-on-the-Water. Our only slight niggle was that we found the bed (main room) a bit uncomfortable(could feel the springs). However, we wouldn't hesitate to rate this 5☆ and hope to return one day.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Glad the bed did not impact on your stay. Amazing to hear you enjoyed time at Weir Cottage and look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at Weir Cottage."
It is so comfortable and welcoming. The bed was excellent and the cottage well equipped. I found the communication regarding how to access the property and leaving requirements were excellent. Thank you for the wine and milk! Thank you for contributing to our wonderful experience of the area!
Thank you for taking the time to send such lovely feedback and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Weir Cottage. Unfortunately, we were unable to prevent your comment about the tub/shower drain not draining properly being published,but we have taken note of this and will rectify as soon as possible. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Property Owner

"A lovely cottage."
-
"The cottage was wonderful."
My only complaint is we were only supplied with one nearly used tool, and one full toilet roll. We had to go and buy some more very soon after arriving.
Thank you for your feedback. As our cottages are self-catering, we only provided one toilet roll just as a start however this is the same across most holiday companies. We are pleased you liked the property and look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Property Owner
-
"Beautiful property in a perfect location."
Everything (and more) provided at the cottage for a relaxing, trouble free stay. All the rooms in the cottage were warm, comfortable and beautifully presented. We had a lovely time and will definitely return, and recommend to friends.
-
"A beautifully furnished, comfortable and well laid out cottage just 2 minutes walk from the centre of Bourton on the Water."
Check in and check out instructions were easy to follow, and our dealings with the owners were highly amicable. We would definitely like to return one day and hope that we have the opportunity to do so.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Weir Cottage. It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your stay, it's a lovely base to explore the Cotswolds. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

"We had a lovely week at Weir cottage, it was situated perfectly to explore Bourton-on-the-water."
The property was very cosy and comfortable, it definitely felt like a home away from home. Lots of useful information left by the owners about the local area and we had an amazing time. We will definitely be looking to come back next year!

"Well equipped cottage set in a excellent location just five minutes walk into Bourton on the Water."
Nicely decorated along with a well equipped kitchen. Nice private area for sitting out and relaxing. Ideal location for discovering the wonderful Cotswolds. Very good restaurants within walking distance especially The Rose Tree, excellent for and service. I can highly recommend this property.
-
"We had an amazing break at the cottage."
It is a credit to you. An amazing Cotswolds bolt hole.
-
"A lovely cottage in a great location for exploring Bourton on the Water and the rest of the Cotswolds."
Lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance, as well as plenty more a short drive away. Highly recommend a circular walk also from the front door to Naunton and back through the Slaughters - brilliant! The accommodation itself is lovely and authentic but with some modern touches - we felt at home straight away! We stopped as just a couple but plenty of room for two couples or a small family comfortably. We didn’t need much help from the owner but they were very helpful when we released we had left some stuff behind so full marks there too!
-
"A wonderful cottage within the shortest of short strolls away from delightful Bourton on the Water."
A roaring fire, a glass of wine whilst curled up on the sofa - simply magical. A fabulous retreat to the Cotswolds.
-
"Beautiful cottage in the Cotswolds!"
Excellent location and really made our trip the perfect getaway! Would 100% stay again and recommend the cottage to friends and family! Thank you so much! The bottle of Prosecco in the fridge ready for our arrival was the icing on the cake too!
-
"My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the cottage."
Nice period features in a great area. The cottage was well setup with the all the modern amenities you could need without losing the character of the cottage. Parking was easy and the location is a short walk to the main high street. Highly recommended.
-
"Absolutely beautiful cottage in the perfect location!"
Right in the heart of the town, everything was walking distance away. The cottage was so clean and cosy, had everything you’d need in the kitchen, and had a great garden area outside. There was also a bonus bottle of Prosecco on arrival. Couldn’t have asked for more, we will definitely be back again.
-
"This is a lovely cottage."
Not for anyone over 6ft but perfect for our family to relax in and explore the cotswolds from. Very clean, lovely kitchen and dining area, great bath. Would recommend.
-
"Lovely place, great location."
Very roomy cottage.
-
"The property was lovely - really clean, good sized bedrooms and a great kitchen/dining and lounge space."
The location is quiet though central - ideal for getting around Bourton-on-the-Water as even though we had a car (there is off street parking), we could easily walk around the town. We cooked one of the nights during our stay and appreciated all the thoughtful touches in the kitchen to make this an easy experience - good cooking utensils, pots/pans, and basic oil, salt etc. Thanks again for a great stay - would highly recommend.

It had everything we needed and everything was at an amazingly high standard.

Equipped with everything we needed and more! We travelled with our toddler and the host provided a cot, high chair and stair gates which was a great bonus.

The cottage was beautifully clean. Decorated and furnished to a very good standard. A wonderful base from which to explore. Will definitely return.

"The cottage has very good facilities and is close to the middle of Bourton on the Water."
The only drawback is traffic noise as it is beside the road however this is compensated for by the location and ease of walking into Bourton.
-
"Wonderful cottage in a fabulous location, well equipped and full of character yet with all the modern day to day comforts."
-
"Beautiful cottage in a central location for exploring the Cotswolds, with lots to do on the doorstep for old and young alike."
We particularly liked the outside areas, which we were fortunate enough to take full advantage of l, being blessed with good weather for the duration of our stay! Space for parking was also a distinct advantage. We have no hesitation in recommending Weir Cottage.

About the location
BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER
Stow-on-the-Wold 4 miles; Moreton-in-Marsh 8 miles; Chipping Norton 13 miles; Cheltenham 15.5 miles.
Located in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the historic village of Bourton-on-the-Water dates back to Neolithic times with over 100 buildings being Grade II listed or higher. The picturesque high street nestles alongside the River Windrush over which several low stone bridges span, which is why Bourton-on-the-Water is known as the Venice in the Cotswolds. Tradition states that an annual football match is played in the summer, in the River Windrush with the banks lined with spectators, with the aim to score as many goals as possible and get as wet as possible! The village has an eclectic range of visitor attractions, including The Model Village, Cotswold Motor Museum, Birdland Park and Gardens as well as a Dragonfly Maze, monthly farmers’ market as well as many tea rooms, an artisan bakery, antiques and craft markets, traditional sweet shop, cycle hire and its very own perfumery. Nearby, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises traditional England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly farmers' market. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antiques shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Also take a visit to the medieval town of Burford for a great day out where you can enjoy a trip to the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are both within easy reach and make a great day out. The spa town of Cheltenham is, architecturally, the most complete Regency town in England with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called The City of Dreaming Spires has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens. Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also all within easy reach.
