Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives consistent commendation for its spotlessness and cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting this aspect positively. There was a single mention of a cleaning issue upon arrival, but this seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is frequently described as excellent, with the cottage being in a quiet area yet only a short walk from the village centre. Its convenience for local amenities and attractions is a recurring positive point in the reviews.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. There are a few comments about the size of the second bedroom's bed and a suggestion for additional bedside furniture, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the bonus of a ground floor toilet. However, some guests suggested the addition of more kitchen utensils and child-friendly items. There was also a mention of a non-working radiator, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.
Guests often mention and appreciate the thoughtful touches such as the provision of tea, coffee, and biscuits. While these gestures are warmly received, it is important to note that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary with each stay.

Onto the upstairs which boasts two refreshing bedrooms both with views overlooking looking buildings that surround this one.

We have been coming on holiday to Bourton for 20yrs and Kates Cottage rates very high on the list. Everything you could possibly need very very clean and comfortable. Having 2 car spaces was a bonus. The only thing was that in the 2nd bedroom needs a bedside table a mirror and shelf would be handy. These are only minor things otherwise excellent. Would come again and again. Thank you for sharing your cottage.

Kate's cottage has firmly lodged itself in amongst our favourite ones. Nice and quiet but only a few minutes walk from cafes, pubs and the river. The cottage itself had everything we needed. The lounge was spacious which was great in the evening when we went back for a rest. Parking is easy for unloading. A perfect stay!
