South Winds - sleeps 7 guests in 4 bedrooms

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

Kitchen/Diner:
Flooded with light this spacious living area has a glass roof lantern and two sets of French doors opening onto the rear garden. The dining area is a fantastic space for entertaining with room for all guests to sit together for hearty meals. While dinner is being cooked in the well-equipped kitchen, relax on one of the armchairs at the end of the room as you wait to be served.

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:
Open the French doors to the living room to create a wonderfully sociable space. Here you can laze on the corner sofa watching TV or play a board game with the family. It is the ideal place to spend evenings when you want to stay in.

Snug:
Bring your games console and escape to the snug room which features a 32” Smart TV, comfy sofa, DVD player and stereo.

Bedroom One:
The ground floor bedroom is hidden away through the snug and has a cosy double bed. Suiting those with limited mobility it also has a handy en-suite.

En-suite:
The stylish en-suite has a walk-in shower, vanity mirror and hairdryer.

First Floor

Bedroom Two:
Looking across the garden to the Cotswold countryside beyond, bedroom two has a king-size bed and a double wardrobe. Light and bright, it is a wonderful place to start your day, decorated in calming blue tones.

En-suite:
The en-suite to bedroom two has a bath with a shower over and is kept nice and warm with underfloor heating.

Bedroom Three:
This bedroom has a king-size bed and welcomes you with views out its dual aspect windows. Storage is provided with an open wardrobe and there are bedside tables for setting your morning coffee while you enjoy reading for a while.

Shower Room:
Shared between guests in bedroom three and four, the shower room has a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, hairdryer and vanity mirror.

Cons. No hot water on first day it had been left turned off. TVs and sterios were in a knot.

Lovely house in convenient position. Someone should check TVs and radios before handover as they had been left in operative.

Wedding stay

This house was a perfect size for us to prepare for my daughters wedding particularly with 3 bathrooms. It is spacious and so well equipped that it made celebrating and entertaining with family effortless. It is ideally suited for exploring the Cotswolds and very convenient for Hyde House wedding venue.

Spacious and well appointed villa. Very clean and very modern interior. Not the most comfortable living room furniture but, hey, it’s the Cotswolds - you’re not going to be sitting inside very much.. Plenty of back garden for kids to play in and adults can easily be accommodated around the comfortable garden furniture. A most enjoyable stay in the finest of Cotswold villages..

Lovely Stay

We all had a great time, the property was lovely with everything catered for. However some routine maintenance is required such as the patio area could have been cleaned more regularly, the parasol & cushions could do with a clean. Internally the kitchen would benefit from atrium / window blinds as extremely hot in that room. Minor issue the remote control for the dvd had no batteries. Overall we all had a great stay & would definitely stay there again. Thank you

Sadly - didn't go

Unfortunately, the UK's ongoing pandemic restrictions (even for fully vaccinated travelers) made it impossible to go to the UK this year. Some other time.

Like Mary Poppins, it was practically perfect!

Fabulous place in a fantastic location. Warm, cozy, well equipped, beautifully decorated...there aren’t enough great adjectives to describe this gem. We felt it was one of the highlights of our trip. Close to town, near everything, we only wished we had differed our plans to stay longer.

A bit disappointing

We booked this house based on the beautiful photos and the good reviews but were a bit disappointed ourselves. It's located almost next to a large road. The bedroom in the ground floor looks out onto the parking lot. The interior is very basic, with everything missing that would make it a bit more cosy (nice light, curtains, etc.). The beds are incredibly small so that all of the adults slept horribly every night. On the positive side, the kitchen is very well equipped and there is a folder with excellent information about the area. There is a beautiful walk to some nearby lakes and rivers (which we found ourselves, though, it was not in the folder). I have stayed in much more beautiful Cotswolds houses than this one.
