Gorgeous quaint cottage in a fabulous village, parking to the front and right in the centre, easy access to everything. The cottage was clean, cosy, warm and well presented with comfy beds. It’s a compact cottage but has everything you need for a short getaway. Logs for the wood burner and a bottle were also there on arrival, thanks

Totally charming. Stairs a bit tricky, but only if you are using the second bedroom. Location can’t be beat.

Excellent location close to centre of town and walking tracks but tucked away from “hustle and bustle”. You can hear the bells from the church which adds to the overall atmosphere. Peter is an excellent host, and very prompt to respond to any queries. The welcoming bottle of milk and wine was appreciated after a long day of travel. Would definitely stay again if we ever have the opportunity.

Captain's Cabin was a lovely spot, removed from the bustle of what can be a touristy town, but with easy access to everything one would want. Excellent.

Our stay at Captan Cottage was everything we expected. The cottage exudes charm at every level. It also provides you with a great example of what’s like to live in a grade 2 property (e.g., narrow challenging stairs). Location was also spectacular being right in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water. I highly recommend this property for anyone wishing to experience the Cotswolds.
