Elvington Cottage - Family-friendly cheerful house at the heart of the Cotswolds

The property is walking distance to the town. We chose this cottage as it offered twin beds in most rooms. We had my sister and mother, our two nephews and our son.

All the rooms had a wash basin but the washbasin had separate hot and cold water taps. When you renovate the property please ensure you have mixer taps.

Well placed for the village. Comfortable beds and bedding. Good levels of equipment. Excellent property for 7 friends doing our annual catch up for the weekend Lovely and warm. Good supplies of hot water. Excellent host and management company - very responsive to queries.

That we had to leave ☹️

There were 3 bathrooms + downstairs loo, and enough bedrooms to sleep 3 couples. Extra spaces downstairs too. It was a comfortable, convenient and warm space to spend 2 nights with friends. Good walking distance into Bourton-on-Water, great places there to eat in the evening.

It's not a place with a great atmosphere or style, but doesn't pretend to be! A few missing items in kitchen - eg. Egg cups, bread board.

Elvington cottage had all the amenities of home and made for a big comfortable space with our group and doggy. The check in process was easy, and communication with the owner was great! There was butter, eggs, coffee, milk, and sugar all left for us to use, the beds were all big and comfortable, and there were some great walking paths behind the house that took us through some beautiful parts of the Cotswolds. The location was perfect - close enough to walk into Bourton on the water but far enough away where it wasn’t noisy. We loved using the BBQ, sitting outside, and had family dinners every night together. Its perfect for kids (highly recommend the Wildlife park in Buford, the small playground with a zip line in Bourton) and groups of people coming together for a relaxing weekend. This house had a lot of charm and decor, including games for the kids to play, a mini library, and a tiny bathroom under the stairs. I would come back and stay here for every visit! We loved it.

With a house this size, it’s understandable that check in time is later than normal (5pm) and check out is earlier (10am) than some of other to accommodate for cleaning. The owner communicated with us as soon as it was ready and we were able to get in much earlier seller than planned! He offered to let us park when we arrived there as well.

Great location

Good location

Nothing

lovely spacious home and a very thoughtful welcome pack left for us. comfortable beds and clean.

The property is very dated, no egg cups and we repeatedly had to go into the garage where the fuse board was as the upstairs power kept tripping. A bit upset that I got a text the day I arrived telling me I was checking out the next day when I had booked for 2 nights.

It was comfortable and clean with plenty of space to relax and enjoy time with the family. Nice touch having a Christmas tree. It was near enough to walk into town and enjoy the lovely scenery.

My only concern was that there weren't enough pots and pans and baking dishes for a large group or family, we nearly had a roast potato panic for Christmas dinner 😂
