“A gorgeous property with the most incredible views.”

Cosy but modern and spacious.

“This is our third visit this year, twice in Cotswold View and this time Beautiful Cotswold View.”

It didn’t disappoint. The accommodation is great and the views spectacular. On this visit we spotted deer grazing, jays and partridges, to name a few. You are so close to many places. Definitely found our special place.

Tamera July 2024

“Starting with the good.”

.. The view was specular! The not so great... lots of spiders inside the house. We noticed a can of bug spray, was that supposed to be a warning? No garbage disposal, steep stairs both inside and outside, and a lot of rules posted "everywhere". It was a little too secluded for us, but the view was wonderful.

- Tamera, July 2024

We are sorry that the our farm appears not to have suited your requirements, it is a 10minute walk down to the centre of the village, the photos show the exterior stairs and the written description on the agents website does makes reference to the farms’ location. The staircases, exterior and interior are built to British standard heights. In the summertime spiders, tricky little critters, can be found in most English farm environments. ‘No garbage disposal’ not something that is very common in England, sorry if having one available was a crucial requirement for you. With regard to what you interpret as ‘rules’; actually simply ‘helpful information’ placed in the relevant locations. Ie. the small ‘STOP’…..Do not put anything down the loo that has not been through or in contact with the human digestive system, signs which are positioned by the various different wc cisterns are a reminder to all of us, that alas, the good old English sewage system is not the ‘Best in the West’ and that the ‘joyful experience’ of a blocked loo is not something most guests hamper-after whilst on their hard earned hols! Please accept our most British light-hearted approach to such matters, it is by no means dismissive of your concerns, but we also see similar ‘helpful reminders’ in loos (rest-rooms) all over the UK. We are sorry we were not at the farm when you made your short visit here and we genuinely do thank you for your prompt observations’ and appreciate that our farm, on this occasion, was not the right place for you but be assured we do sincerely hope that the rest of your trip proved to be enjoyable.

“We had a lovely holiday.”

The cottage was as described and as shown in the photos. The view was beautiful and we saw lots of birds, rabbits and a deer. The owners were very welcoming and helpful.

Lainah May 2024

“When booking this it said about the alpacas which we were all very excited for, however on arriving found that they had all passed away years ago.”

Unfortunately the photos of the lounge aren't up to date. The sofas weren't the ones in the picture, they were all completely different (looking like a charity shop) and the dining room had to be moved if you wanted everyone to sit around it. The upstairs is very small and kept bumping heads. Suitable for kids but adults aren't as comfy. In saying that, it has the best views! Really amazing and watching wildlife is beautiful. Also a short walk to Bourton which is ideal. Sorry to sound quite negative but we were quite upset about being mislead.

- Lainah, May 2024

As the owners we are incredible sorry that you felt you had been misled, thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. The holiday let is contracted exclusively with Sykes Cottages, we have reviewed their description details of the accommodation and can confirm that there is no written reference to the presence of alpacas on the farm, however it is possible that deep in the bowels of the internet there may be an old description from when it was still an alpaca breeding farm. Since the animal breeding ended there has been an on going re-wilding process, as you witnessed and were kind enough to mention it has successfully encouraged numerous birds and wildlife. Our guests come in all shapes and sizes; young old fit and some not so fit, the mix of chairs and sofas is an attempt to accommodate such eclectic needs. The Sykes Cottages photographer is due out soon to update a couple of the photos. Thank you again for your insights. We are so pleased you enjoyed the amazing views and wildlife. Property Owner
Nilisha May 2024

“Lovely property, great location and has many utensils in the kitchen which is useful for cooking.”

More than sufficient plates for 6 people. However it is a shame the tv is so small and isn't a smart tv. The pool table and darts were a lovely added bonus. Great views from the main bedroom, however I managed to bang my head a few times with the sloped roof! Tip for future guests: the notes on the side regarding how long it takes to heat up, take note of them! We rushed our showers as we thought the water must have run out however after 3.5 minutes it really did warm up! Tip for future guests: only provide 1 mini coffee sachet per guest so bring it from home for the duration of the stay.

- Nilisha, May 2024

Thank you for your comments. A new 50inch Smart TV is now on order from the John Lewis shop in Cheltenham high street, due to be fitted in Beautiful Cotswold View on Tuesday the 30th July 2024 in time for your next visit. You mention the height of the ceiling on the upstairs landing, thank you for this it will bring the attention of our future guests to read the full description of the property available on the Sykes Cottages Web site. We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit and thank you again for your comments. A similar 50inch SmartTV is due to be fitted on the same day in the Cotswold View apartment, an apartment suitable for up to 4 people. Property Owner

“The property was very well equiped with everything you need for a perfect holiday and just a 15 minute stroll to the beautiful village.”

The views were just amazing over the beautiful Cotswold countryside which the property took full advantage of with it's height and huge picture windows and balcony. The wildlife was in abundance with a large bird feeding station attracting goldfinch, chaffinch, greenfinch, great tit, blue tit , green woodpecker, pheasants and french partridge. We also saw muntjak , roe deer, little owl, buzzards, squirrels and rabbits , it was just amazing. There was a pool and darts room which we made full use of being perfect entertainment now the nights are drawing in. There is plenty of outside seating near the wildlife pond , again with fab views. Roy and Sue, the owners, were such lovely welcoming people and could not have been more helpful. We will definitely go back to this lovely unique property .

- Andrew, October 2023
Ian September 2023

“Owners very helpful in providing information on history of their on going projects.”

Location is slightly out of Bourton on the Water in an elevated position ,providing views of the valley below . Many species of birds are attracted to the feeding stations with small deer also using the grassed parkland routes created. An enjoyable stay in a good location to visit the Cotswold villages and towns.

- Ian, September 2023
Matt August 2023

“Fantastic property.”

Views are amazing with lots of activity by the bird feeders and into the fields beyond. We saw Muntjac deer, Green and Spotted Woodpeckers, rabbits, a stoat, partridges and many more types of birds. Headroom is restricted in areas on the top floor, but our tallest family member, at over 6ft, managed fine. 10 min walk into Bourton with restaurants, pubs and takeaways available - 15 min walk back! Glad we chose a property with a view rather than being in the village itself.

- Matt, August 2023
Andrew June 2023

“Great view and location relative to Bourton on the water.”

The accommodation is fairly basic. The accommodation is situated on what I would describe as a farm storage area, consisting of storage containers and abandoned sheds. The outside areas desperately need tidying up to make sitting outside or barbecuing a pleasant experience.

- Andrew, June 2023

Thank you for your comments. First please accept our apologises for this rather long reply, it is an attempt to acknowledge them and explain the consequences of the ongoing re-wilding of Fluffs Farm which has already led to less weeding much longer grass, quite unlike a smart garden in suburbia. Your recent visit coincided with our own break away. With us not being around possibly, understandably, but incorrectly you have assumed ‘abandonment’. Last year the improved wildlife pond was professionally constructed and planted using selected British wild flower seeds, this its’ first year, the flowers have produced the most amazing visual feast, as instructed by the seed providers the one and only annual mowing of it, is to be done in late autumn, wild flowers’ annual ‘hair cut’ time. The ‘present unruly display of nature’ may be regarded by some as a tad ‘untidy’, long grass left to facilitate the ideal environments for butterflies, bees, field voles etc. etc. may too be perceived untidy, disorderly and uncared-for while in fact quite the opposite is true. Storage containers, you are quite right, when looking back from behind the farm house through to the farm yard and on to the entrance gate which is the completely opposite direction to the ‘great view’ one can see storage containers, nowadays such are a very common feature on farms, providing secure storage for implements. The minimalistic decor of the accommodation itself, is in direct contrast to the elevated, panoramic view of the glorious, British/English/UK countryside. Property Owner
Carolyn June 2023

“Second visit to Beautiful Cotswold View lovely welcome from the owners the view is to die for and the amount of wildlife is phenomenal.”

We kept a log of visitors to the bird feeding station and noted about 25 different species of bird plus we saw deer , a green woodpecker and ducks on the wildlife pond the village is a short walk but unfortunately it’s down quite a big hill and due to advancing age I couldn’t manage the walk back we do hope to visit this property again it has everything we needed and there is a co op in the village plus many places to eat . We had really good weather but with this apartment even if it rains there is always something to look at from the window. Fingers crossed we can return there soon

Mithila May 2023

“We had the most wonderful stay at this property!”

It was spacious, clean, and we could have sat and stared at the view for our whole trip. The hosts were super friendly and knowledgable about the area whenever we bumped into them. The location is great, Bourton is gorgeous but gets a little busy on weekends, and it was nice that only a 2 minute drive from town it was so quiet. My family and I are on quite an extended holiday at the moment, where we have stayed in many Airbnbs and holiday homes, and this one has been our favourite by far.

- Mithila, May 2023
Judith February 2023

“Property was very clean and warm, views were fantastic out of lounge and bedroom plenty of space for a family of two adults and three teenage girls, would definitely book it again .”

Connie December 2022

“Had a wonderful short stay at this apartment in December.”

Wonderful expansive views of the snowy landscape and very spacious and comfortable living and sleeping rooms. A short 5 minute walk down the hill into the village but yet felt peaceful and serene as if in the middle of the countryside.

- Connie, December 2022
Eric November 2022

“We stayed in Beautiful Cotswold View for just over 4 weeks between house moves.”

It surpassed our expectations. Great location and wonderful views. The living area and main bedroom were very spacious and comfortable with all the facilities you would expect in a holiday let. It was very warm with lots of hanging and storage space. If there were any minuses, the bathrooms were a little small. The owners were simply delightful, and nothing was too much trouble.

- Eric, November 2022
Jan October 2022

“Just as it says the most beautiful Cotswold Views.”

We loved our time there, the house was well fitted out with everything you could possibly need. Being so close to the village meant that we could go early in the morning before the crowds arrived, a big plus. Loved the house, loved the location. Perfect.

- Jan, October 2022
Carolyn September 2022

“Loved it wonderful holiday ,nice apartment with a view to die for , lots of wildlife saw deer and so many different birds we even saw a green woodpecker .”

Walkable distance from the centre of Bourton but I must say I found the hill coming back a bit challenging due to mobility issues . Owners were lovely friendly and helpful this is a holiday we want to repeat I want to see Sue and Roy’s wildflower meadow hopefully next year……

- Carolyn, September 2022
Rahu August 2022

“Stunning view We enjoyed every bit of our stay in this apartment.”

very comfortable and peaceful surrounding. we loved the stunning view and the birds. while we were there a pond was built for the birds and enjoyed watching it being done. The owners are so friendly and warm and gave us information where to go for walks, and of places to eat. We enjoyed it so much that we hope to visit again in the future.

- Rahu, August 2022
Bob June 2022

“We had a wonderful time in the Cotswold, which was greatly helped by the impeccable appartment we stayed in.”

Best views ever, clean and well maintained. It was everything as it was promised.

Ritu April 2022

“Overall an excellent property for a perfect holiday stay.”

We loved the views. It was just as we had anticipated from the pictures at the time of booking. The only things I would like to add are: the sofas in the living room need replacement. One of the seats is broken and overall they were covered with covers that made them look quite shabby. The seats were falling out of the sofas. Secondly, whilst the place was perfect for a family that required space for 6, it may not be suitable for a group of friends (3 couples), since the room upstairs were quite small and dark with small windows. But we were very happy with our stay. And thanks to the caretaker, who welcomed us to the farm on first day and also gave us a book on the history of Burton on the water on the day we were leaving. My kids enjoyed reading the book!

- Ritu, April 2022

Thank you for your feed back we are so pleased that in your words “you found the property excellent for a perfect holiday”. The sofas were replaced earlier this year but getting the most appropriate ones can be a tad tricky, we are all so different. We need to provide comfy sofas whilst trying to maintain them stain free; tea, coffee, soft drink spills happen. Self catering properties differ from hotels and as you obviously were aware it is the guests’ responsibility to leave the property as found, you certainly did and thank you for that. The set of stretchy removable sofa seat covers are an attempt to help against said accidental spill stains. The gentleman you met was actually Roy the farm owner, he and myself, his wife are not always at the farm. Photos of the upstairs rooms and an accurate written description is on the website. The black out blinds were fitted to the windows in response to a guests’ recommendation, they themselves had found the rooms were too light, again everyone is so different, the blinds can of course can be for more light. Thank you again.. Property Owner
Deborah March 2022

“We found a little bit of paradise with an abundance of wildlife on the door step .”

Fluff’s Farm is truly a special place. The apartment was very clean and very comfortable. The far reaching views of the Cotswolds outstanding and the owner Roy is very friendly.What more can I say , other than we hope to visit again very soon. Nb Only a very trivial matter, the “stretchy covers “ albeit clean and comfortable on the sofa spoilt the look of the living area and being a bit ocd I spent a lot of time trying to straighten them out, but that is just me .

- Deborah, March 2022
Keith February 2022

“We spent a week at this cottage and were impressed by the view every morning.”

We went in winter and I am sure the view would be even more splendid in the summer. The owners were very nice and offered some booklets to keep my children busy and other advice. Overall very happy with the stay.

“The name of the property says it all - stunning views from a beautiful property.”

The owners are delightful and we can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend staying here

Sudha December 2021

“We had booked the place for 6 people over the Christmas but luckily 2 members of our group could not join us due to covid.”

The accommodation is too small for 6 adults. the beds in the loft room with only a toilet and basin are not suitable for adults specially when you are paying good money for the rent. The place does not even have sets of 6 in some crockery and glasses. if you are looking for a very basic in accommodation yes go for it.

- Sudha, December 2021

Thank you for your feedback. First, may we apologise for the fact that the weather was so dismal, thick fog for days and no clear visibility to enjoy the amazing views, and footpaths so wet, we can fully understand any disappointment you felt not to enjoy a clear day and a lovely to walk on Christmas Day, such a special time. With regards to the accommodation itself, it has been available for the use of our guests for just over six years, in response to your comments, the photos and the property description on the web site have been checked to ensure that they do still accurately, show the rooms that are available. With regard to crockery etc. thank you for making us aware that out of the 20 glasses and tumblers that are normally available there were in fact two glasses and two side side plates missing, plus a couple of the little tea cups, there were still 22 plates available plus a further selection of mugs and cups. The few missing items have been replaced by the management company. Again, we are sorry you encountered such gloomy weather and that you were disappointed on this occasion. Hopefully you will have the chance to visit the area again in more clement weather conditions. Kind regards, the owners…..Roy & Sue. Property Owner
Ben November 2021

“Nice property in a nice location and had what we needed.”

Disappointing upon arrival to find dead flies on the bedroom floor when paying as much as we did and especially when the time was moved from 4pm to 5pm after already purchasing the stay, for what we were told was an extra hour of cleaning!!!! Check out at 10am was also a little early, again for the cost, doesn’t give you a great amount of time for a 2 night stay. Signage all over the walls inside the apartment in almost every room is overkill and not very ‘welcoming’, not sure why it couldn’t be kept to the information folder?! Cotswolds itself was lovely and made the stay a good one.

- Ben, November 2021

Dear Mr Chamberlain and family, First, as the owner’s please accept our sincere apologies. Though we no longer breed animals on Fluffs Farm, neighbouring farmland is still in use for breeding cows, sheep & horses, livestock and manure equates to the prevalence of flies. Thank you for bringing attention to this issue. The management company send their apologies too, they oversee a large number of self catering holiday lets, consequently exact times of their employees’ attendance to each property can not be accurately predicted. We are aware that guests who made holiday bookings before and during the advent of Coronavirus, then transferred to future dates will have received information confirming a different arrival time, departure times have remained the same as before. We understand that your young family consisted of just 2 adults,1 child and 1 infant. The pricing structuring for Beautiful Cotswold View is calculated on the maximum accommodation available. As a three bedroomed apartment it is available for up to 6 adult guests plus a baby. Please accept our apologies that your family were not able to benefit from the maximum accommodation available. With reference to signs, by their nature signs can be viewed subjectively. They are displayed to help reduce confusion arising from guests who for whatever reason choose not to check through the information and equipment folders, of course, there is also now a requirement to display signs with reference to Coronavirus. Thank you Mr Chamberlain, for choosing to visit Beautiful Cotswold View, we are heartened that you still found your visit to the Cotswolds a good one. Kindest regards, Roy & Sue. Property Owner
Janet October 2021

“The property is in a perfect position for exploring The Cotswolds.”

It was clean comfortable and well stocked with all necessities. I did find the seating slightly uncomfortable and would have preferred maybe a traditional suite however this is a personal preference, we found it awkward for 4 people to watch the television, play games games together or just chat with the configuration. The owners were on site and were extremely helpful, friendly and helped make our stay an excellent experience. The title of the property aptly describes it, it was indeed a beautiful view and we were able to watch the birds as they fed at the feeding station well positioned for viewing. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

- Janet, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we are so pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay, taking into you comments, a more tradition sofa has now been put into the the accommodation. Kindest regards, the owners…. Roy & Sue. Property Owner
Janice September 2021

“The property is very comfortable with beautiful views which live up to the name and is very well positioned for exploring the area.”

Unfortunately it could have been cleaner, finger marks all over the panoramic windows and also visible on the microwave. Other areas needed some cleaning attention too. Although this is not acceptable at any time, particularly unacceptable these days with Covid-19. However we had a lovely holiday and it wouldn’t put us off visiting again, hopefully the cleaners will take note!

- Janice, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback, as the owners we are sorry and embarrassed about the less than acceptable issues that you encountered. Unfortunately, due to our I’ll health we are not able to service the accommodation ourselves, we are reliant on an independent management company that visit to change the linen and clean the property. However we are so pleased you found the views and the location ideal. Kind regards, Roy & Sue. Property Owner
Gill August 2021

“Fantastic place to stay.”

Lovely views from living room, balcony and main bedroom. Lots of wildlife spotted. Well resourced cottage, comfortable bedrooms that were light and very clean. Would definitely stay here again.

- Gill, August 2021
Barbara Ann July 2021

“Could be cleaned better.”

There was dust combined with hair under the bed in the main bedroom and the pans needed washing before use.As we were 6 adults for part of the time it was a problem that there were only 6 of everything, cutlery, mugs, bowls etc. Otherwise it was well equipped and the view was as claimed. We still had a lovely time there. It was well placed for walks and visiting local sites.

- Barbara Ann, July 2021

Thank you for your review of our cottage. We have spoken to our cleaning company regarding the issues you have raised. I have been monitoring them since you made us aware of this and am pleased to say that the standards we expect of them are being maintained. Property Owner
Martyn June 2021

“Great base for walking the Cotswold Way.”

Fantastic views with wildlife to watch from the balcony and massive windows. Bourton gets very busy at the weekends but quieter mid week. We would recommend the Mousetrap Inn and Rose Tree. Friendly owners Roy and Sue live downstairs and very helpful if needed. Only criticism is that there are just 6 of everything so we needed to use dishwasher/wash up frequently.

- Martyn, June 2021
David May 2021

“You need to sort out the booking and payment arrangements for the use of the onsite Electric Vehicle charge point.”

Lorna, the advised contact re: the EV charge point didn't have a clue about it, Emma from Molohh was equally unaware, Skyes Customer service assistants didn't have a clue so I ended up writing to the owner to book it and to request details of it's use and payment. He very kindly telephoned me back and sorted out my queries. Skyes Cottages needs to address this and allow booking of this facility via their website. The table in the premises was positioned right in front of the hall door making initial access with bags cases etc very difficult and obstructing ongoing access. This table would be better placed against the wall between the french doors and the window

- David, May 2021
Diana October 2020

“We absolutely loved our accommodation at Bourton on the Water, everything we required and needed was provided.”

It was fabulous and the views extensive. Great base for visiting the lovely villages of the Cotswolds and would definitely visit again and certainly recommend to anyone wishing to visit the Cotswolds.

Lots of local walking and well marked paths around the whole area. Each day we were able to walk somewhere different from the property, hardly used the car at all

“We took my mum for a surprise birthday weekend away with the family.”

Its was absolutely beautiful. The veiw was incredible and the wildlife that wanders around outside the window is fabulous. The village is beautiful and its in vert close proximity to other little places to wander around. We would all highly recommend staying at Fluffs Farm.

- Natasha, February 2019
Linda October 2018

“Outstanding views.”

Very comfortable and well equipped accommodation. Shame that the alpacas had gone but we were informed by Sykes beforehand about the change. There was plenty of other wildlife to see though. Although the owners were on site we did not meet them until departure when they were very friendly. They even gave the children copies of their books about the alpacas adventures. Overall it was a perfect way to celebrate a special birthday with family.

Our accommodation was top notch and the owners couldn't of been more helpful we will definately return. Highly recommended.

Jacqueline April 2018

“Double bed in bedroom on top floor far too low and could be a little higher enabling you to get out of bed properly.”

Few more dishes in kitchen such as Pyrex dishes etc. We had a great stay and would not hesitate in booking this property again.

John April 2018

Delightfully warm on a cold weekend. Owners very helpful. Views amazing . Alpacces and wildlife entertaining

- Lynn, February 2018
Sharan January 2018

“The bed in the upstairs room, is a mattress on the floor, and not very comfortable, and not suitable for older people or anyone with a bad back or dodgy knees.”

The sinks are very small in the bathrooms, the Men found it awkward for having a shave. We were only left 2 T-Towels , we didn't use the dishwasher, is was much quicker and more efficient to hand wash. Also we had to wash all the pans and plates before using as they were dirty. BUT we did have a great time, and the views from the lounge was stunning. The house is well equipped, apart from extra t towels .

About the location

BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER

Stow-on-the-Wold 4 miles; Moreton-in-Marsh 8 miles; Chipping Norton 13 miles; Cheltenham 15.5 miles.

Located in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the historic village of Bourton-on-the-Water dates back to Neolithic times with over 100 buildings being Grade II listed or higher. The picturesque high street nestles alongside the River Windrush over which several low stone bridges span, which is why Bourton-on-the-Water is known as the Venice in the Cotswolds. Tradition states that an annual football match is played in the summer, in the River Windrush with the banks lined with spectators, with the aim to score as many goals as possible and get as wet as possible! The village has an eclectic range of visitor attractions, including The Model Village, Cotswold Motor Museum, Birdland Park and Gardens as well as a Dragonfly Maze, monthly farmers’ market as well as many tea rooms, an artisan bakery, antiques and craft markets, traditional sweet shop, cycle hire and its very own perfumery. Nearby, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises traditional England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly farmers' market. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antiques shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Also take a visit to the medieval town of Burford for a great day out where you can enjoy a trip to the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are both within easy reach and make a great day out. The spa town of Cheltenham is, architecturally, the most complete Regency town in England with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called The City of Dreaming Spires has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens. Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also all within easy reach.
