Honeycomb Cottage

The neighbourhood

Set in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water, the cottage places you in one of the Cotswolds’ best-loved villages. Known for the River Windrush flowing gently through its centre and the pretty stone bridges that cross the water, Bourton is an idyllic place to experience quintessential Cotswolds life. From the cottage, an abundance of shops, cafés and restaurants are within easy reach, making leisurely mornings and spontaneous dinners wonderfully simple.

Spend an afternoon wandering beside the river, browsing local shops or settling into a cosy café. Food lovers are particularly well catered for, with a choice of restaurants in the village and celebrated dining destinations scattered throughout the surrounding countryside.

There is plenty to discover beyond Bourton too. Stow-on-the-Wold offers boutique shopping, tearooms and restaurants, while picturesque Cotswolds villages including Kingham, Snowshill and Blockley provide plenty of inspiration for days spent exploring. Further afield, Cheltenham and Cirencester offer a change of pace with more shops, restaurants and attractions.

Families will also find plenty nearby, including Bourton’s Model Village and Cotswold Motoring Museum, while Cotswold Farm Park, Cotswold Wildlife Park and Blenheim Palace make excellent day trips.

Whether your ideal escape involves countryside walks, lingering lunches or simply discovering honey-coloured villages at an unhurried pace, this is an exceptional base for experiencing the Cotswolds.
