    “A lovely quaint cottage in the perfect location.”

    The downstairs is lovely and the kitchen is extremely well equipped. The stairs are very steep and a little challenging and access to the bathroom and second bedroom through the main bedroom makes it a little less private. We were 4 very good friends so not a massive issue for us but probably may put us off stopping there again. We really enjoyed our stay though and the price was very good. Overall a great stay.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you all had a great stay. We are sorry to hear that the cottage layout was not suitable for you. The cottage information is detailed on the website which mentions the layout and the staircase. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

The property

Japonica Cottage is one of a row of five delightful Cotswold cottages set in the heart of the very famous and very attractive village of Bourton on the Water.

Internally the cottage is presented in cosy and charming style, with the rooms and their furnishings typifying the Cotswolds, including some original doors dating back hundreds of years.

In our opinion this is ideal for a couple or a small family wanting to tour the local area.

The heated conservatory which is attached to the cottage is a very pleasant place to enjoy a quiet moment!

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.
