Three generations of our family found this the perfect cottage for our weekend. Lots of space for the little ones to run around. Enough rooms to offer lots of flexibility for sleeping arrangements and for larger groups to have their own space. A few minutes walk to the centre of town with lots of restaurants and pubs and a very well stocked Coop.

Perfectly located to wander into Bourton on the Water. The house itself is lovely and was very clean. We stayed there with family and not everyone was happy with the beds - too low and soft - but appreciate that it’s difficult to get that right. On the whole it was a great stay and we had a lovely time.

We had a fantastic time at this holiday home! It was perfect for our group of friends with kids. The spacious living areas allowed the adults to relax while the kids played. The kitchen was well-equipped for preparing meals, and the outdoor space was a hit with everyone. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the location was ideal for nearby family-friendly activities. We would definitely recommend this holiday home for a fun and relaxing getaway with friends and kids.

This beautiful and lovingly converted barn is in a fabulous location in Bourton on the Water, on a quiet road and only a nice 5 minute stroll into town. There are 5 bedrooms in total, and can accommodate up to 12 people. There's a well equipped kitchen with bar seating, a dining room with a large dining table and chairs, and two living rooms with smart TVs in each, dividing the house into two 'wings'. There are a smattering of books, but no board games, so bring your own entertainment if needed. There's a paved garden with outside seating too. The property is gated, and can fit four cars, although the low concrete bollards on the side of the drive are a bit annoying. The beds and the sofa are quite soft and unsupportive, and can be pretty difficult to get out of if you're elderly. But all in all, a nice property with plenty of character in a fantastic location to go exploring the Cotswolds, good value for money, and would certainly consider staying again.

A great property with plenty of space for children to entertain themselves. A great deal of space for every one and ideally situated for visits to the village. The property is starting to look a little tired. The owners need to have a handy person to oversee the property to see what needs to be fixed. (Wine chiller is not functioning properly). Internally, the property was superficially clean, but over time, it needs a deep clean. There were cobwebs and one grandson tried to retrieve something from under a sofa and cut his hand on some broken glass. There were insufficient hangers for clothes. A few more might be helpful.

We stayed at Grey Gables Barn for 3 nights in January. The house is big and cosy at the same time. It was well stocked with everything you need and is located right in the heart of the village with a short walk to pubs, restaurants and shops. There are 2 fires to keep you warm on cold winter nights. The two twin rooms have small beds so better suited to children, not adults.
