About Kestrel Cottage

Kestrel Cottage is a thoughtfully designed one-bedroom holiday cottage situated on the first floor of a beautifully converted water mill in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water. With original Cotswold stone walls throughout and views over the rooftops of this iconic village, it offers a peaceful and comfortable base for a self-catering holiday and is perfect for couples seeking quiet comfort in a characterful setting. The open-plan layout features a well-equipped kitchen, a light-filled dining area with a breakfast bar, and a cosy lounge with comfortable seating and a TV with a DVD player. A king-sized bed in the double bedroom provides a restful night's sleep, while a sofa bed in the living area can accommodate two additional guests if needed.

Located in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water, Kestrel Cottage places you just steps away from everything this picturesque Cotswold village offers. You can stroll along the River Windrush, browse the independent shops, or enjoy lunch in one of the many cafés, pubs or tearooms nearby. The village has several well-loved attractions, including the Model Village, Birdland Park and Gardens, and the Cotswold Motoring and Toy Museum, which sits just behind the cottage. A local bakery, deli and small supermarket mean everything you need for a relaxed self-catering stay is close at hand. With free WiFi and allocated parking included, you can settle in and feel at home from the moment you arrive.

Beyond Bourton, the wider Cotswolds invites exploration. Within an hour’s drive, you can visit market towns such as Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford and Cirencester, or spend a day discovering the historic charm of Sudeley Castle, Blenheim Palace or the Roman sites of Bath. If you enjoy walking, there are countless trails from the doorstep, including gentle riverside paths to Lower and Upper Slaughter and longer routes along the Oxfordshire Way. Whether touring the rolling countryside, visiting farm shops and traditional pubs, or simply enjoying the slower pace of rural village life, Kestrel Cottage is your peaceful, pet-free retreat in one of the most beautiful corners of England.
