Step through the garden gate and meet our storybook cottage...
​
Darly Cottage looks like the Cotswolds cottage you'd dream up in childhood: a secret garden, perfect proportions and characterful stone. Pinch yourself, it's real.
Inside you'll find two sitting rooms to lounge in, a family dining room for making memories and spacious individual bedrooms. Curl up in front of log burner on colder evenings, or in the summer pick mint and strawberries for Pimms from the cottage garden - this is a place for making those childhood dreams come true.

Why I love this Cottage Gem
"As soon as I walked through the garden gate I fell in love - everyone does! This is exactly the cottage that everyone dreams of when they think of the Cotswolds.
​
In practical terms, Darly is wonderfully spacious so even if there are 8 of you here you don't feel like you're on top of each other, with two sitting rooms, big bedrooms and of course the lovely garden.
​
Here you get the best of both worlds, being a little out of the village centre but still within easy walking distance of the centre of Bourton on the Water."

Location
​Bourton on the Water is one of the most iconic Cotswolds villages, with good reason. Quaint cottages cluster around the village centre where the river Windrush flows quietly through criss-crossed by little brides, earning Bourton its nickname of "the Venice of the Cotswolds". Here though the river runs clear and is shallow enough for paddling!
​
Bourton on the Water punches above its weight when it comes to amenities, with UK-leading restaurants and pubs, attractions like Birdland and the Cotswold Motoring Museum (home to Brum) as well as independent shops and cafes. You can also walk from the village to Hawkstone Brewery, where Jeremy Clarkson's beer is made, for a guided tour or drink at the bar.
​
The village also makes a great base for exploring the wider Cotswolds, with direct walks to villages like the Slaughters and the Rissingtons, and being no more than a 30 minute drive from popular towns like Stow on the Wold, Burford, Broadway and Cirencester.
