Easter hols break

Stayed here as a group of 6 including 2 teens and 2 elderly ladies for 4 nights. Beautiful house. Super clean and comfortable. Very spacious. Very close to Bourton-on-the-water village and great location to explore rest of Cotswolds. Bed in master bedroom was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Bourton and surrounding area is gorgeous. So sad to leave. Would defo stay here again

Wonderful stay in the the Cotswolds at Fosseside

Fosseside house exceeded all our expectations. We had the most wonderful stay with all the family. The house was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped with more kitchen equipment than we could possibly need. The heating was very effective and easy to control. There was plenty of space for all eight of us throughout the house and the large dining table was perfect to sit around for family meals. We appreciated all the bathrooms and the games room was great fun. The location could not have been better, just a short walk into Bourton-on-the-Water. We walked along the road but also discovered the scenic route by the water. There were beautiful rural walks from the front door of the house. We loved watching the geese waddle past the driveway on their way to the river opposite. Bourton-on-the-Water itself was simple the best location with plenty of independent shops, lovely restaurants and cafes. We would really recommend Fosseside house and will definitely return. Stay Cotswolds were very efficient throughout the whole booking process.Thank you

Excellent Birthday Weekend

I booked Fosseside House to get the family together to celebrate my wife’s 70th birthday and we had a great time in this excellent property. The property is very well positioned, excellently presented and maintained and in a great location within 5 - 10 minutes walk from the centre of Bourton on the Water. As we arrived in the dark our only issue was locating the property initially but we quickly resolved that and would very definitely go back to the property in the future

A home from home in a perfect location

We stayed at Fosseside House for 6 nights. It's so homely and welcoming, with everything you could possibly need inside. The kitchen is excellently equipped to cook a full roast dinner! Several of us needed to work from home for a couple of days during the stay and the house was big enough to let us do that, with no problems with WiFi etc - we even had a room each! We had minor issues with the outside lights, but Eileen went excellent and arranged for someone to fix them before the end of our stay. It's an easy 5-10 min walk into Bourton-on-the-Water, with easy access to other walks, as well as roads to other locations within the Cotswolds. I would highly recommend this house and we will certainly stay there again, if we've in the area!

80th birthday family celebrations

Family gathering to celebrate my mums 80th birthday for 9 people. House was very well equipped with everything you could wish for. Home from home. House was large enough that people could spread out and not feel on top of each other but still maintained its cosy feel. Games room was a bonus for the teenagers and oldies alike! Its only a 10 min walk into the heart of the village which has an abundance of cafés, restaurants and shops. Its a bonus to be able to leave the car at home and venture out on foot. House does need a bit of TLC on the outside i.e. paint peeling on windows and broken glass window in the lounge. Its also quite near a busy junction into the village and does not have any double glazing. So, if you prefer total silence then it may not be for you. Apart from the odd grumble the house was absolutely perfect for us and would defiantly recommend and stay again.

Great for college reunion

A well-located house that can accommodate 5 couples and has all the necessary equipment - including table football. We could wander into Bourton-on-the- Water easily the whole village from this base.
Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024

Beautiful Bourton

Well where do I start! We have been to Bourton on the water before and were enchanted by its beauty and Fosseside House just added to our wonderful week. The location was brilliant for walking into the very busy village so we could leave the car at home. The house certainly lived up to its pictures! It was a great size for our party of 9 and had everything we needed (possibly another fan on the very hot days) The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could need. The furnishings were good quality and well maintained. The garden was private but could have had a bigger grass area for the little ones to run around in (that almost feels like nitpicking) All in all it was a wonderful week in a lovely house within walking distance of a quaint village.

Beautiful house in the perfect location.

Our stay at Fosseside House couldn't have been better. The house easily accommodated 10 adults and the great weather allowed us to make use of the garden. Each room is stylish and clean, there is ample off road parking and the location allowed for an easy stroll into town.

Beautiful house

Fantastic accommodation, all rooms beautifully decorated and furnished, lots of space, very well equipped. Great location. Would definitely recommend and book again. Very minor points, which didn't detract from the enjoyment of our stay - could do with mirror in the main bathroom, twin room a little snug for two adults.

Lovely house - wonderful stay

We rented the house for a family birthday celebration. It was perfect for us. Spotlessly clean; it provided us with everything we needed for a fantastic weekend (including a games room). A short walk away from the centre of Bourton. Would 100% recommend without hesitation. We will definitely book again

Fabulous family home

We had a great stay at Fosseside which comfortably coped with our family of 10 adults and 2 babies. Spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. A short stroll from the middle of town and a great base to explore the Cotswolds.

A wonderful stay

The house is beautiful, tastefully decorated, in excellent condition & has really comfortable beds! It was very clean & well organised with plenty of crockery, cutlery & utensils for cooking meals for large numbers. There was an issue with the heating timer but this was sorted out very quickly. Contact with the owner was great, very responsive & the lovely Dimi came to solve the issue & have the house warming up quickly. He also brought us wood for the fire as well as popping out to get us fire lights & matches. We would happily stay here again.

The Perfect Stay!

The location was perfect, 10 minute walk from the high street. The house was warm and clean - comfortably fit all 10 of us with lots of rooms and extras like the games room. Modern style and a comfy feel for the autumn months. Would definitely return and recommend.
