Swallow Cottage is a charming one-bedroom retreat for couples in Bourton-on-the-Water, offering comfortable self-catering accommodation all on the ground floor of a beautifully restored mill. This pet-friendly cottage blends historic character with modern comfort, featuring exposed Cotswold stone walls, beamed ceilings and tasteful furnishings that create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Relax in the cosy living area after a day of exploring the Cotswolds, choosing to dine out, grab a tasty takeaway, or make good use of the well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals with ease. End the day snuggled down in the kingsized bed and drift off gently to the murmur of the river just outside the window.
Bourton-on-the-Water, often called the "Venice of the Cotswolds" for its pretty bridges and the River Windrush, offers all you need for a relaxing getaway. From Swallow Cottage's doorstep, a short stroll leads to local shops where you can pick up fresh produce and daily essentials. You'll also find inviting tea rooms for afternoon cream teas, traditional pubs with log fires, and a range of restaurants – whether you fancy a hearty pub lunch or a romantic dinner by the water. The village itself is rich in attractions: explore the famous Model Village (a miniature replica of Bourton), meet exotic birds at Birdland Park & Gardens, or discover vintage cars and nostalgia at the Cotswold Motoring Museum. With everything within walking distance, you can enjoy the charm of Bourton-on-the-Water at your own pace.
Beyond the village, the wider Cotswolds beckon with rolling hills, historic sites, and picturesque market towns and villages all within about an hour's drive. Venture to nearby Stow-on-the-Wold or Bibury to stroll among antique shops and see iconic sights like Arlington Row. Don't miss the gardens and house at Sudely Castle - the last home of Jane Seymour- or go further back in time to the Roman amphitheatre in Cirencester. Nature lovers might explore the trails of the Cotswold countryside or enjoy a picnic with views from Broadway Tower. The area is ideal for walking and cycling, with scenic footpaths connecting chocolate-box villages like Upper and Lower Slaughter, which are only 1.5 miles from the cottage. After days spent wandering through wildflower meadows, browsing farmers' markets, or exploring National Trust gardens, you'll love returning to the peace and comfort of Swallow Cottage.
This pet-friendly cottage for couples is the ideal base to experience the best of the Cotswolds. It offers a tranquil retreat with all the convenience of Bourton-on-the-Water's amenities close at hand. As one of four one-bedroom cottages in the former mill, it's ideal to holiday with friends or extended family while retaining personal space and privacy.
