Step into your sprawling sociable cottage...
​
Ivy Cottage from the outside is a smart Cotswolds townhouse built from the richest honey-yellow stone. Step inside and the space unfolds to reveal a cottage made for memory-making.
From the large family kitchen you see the conservatory dining room, all ready for special breakfasts and glimmering evening light. From there the garden just keeps going, with a lawn for running around and tangled roses in the beds. The living room is the hub of the house, large enough for everyone to spread out, or come together in front of the log burner.

Why I love this Cottage Gem
“Ivy Cottage is fantastic for a sociable holiday, whether you’re here together as a family or a group of friends. The spaces flow so well together, with elegant glasshouse-style dining, a big garden to hang out in, as well as a living room that achieves cosiness while being spacious.
The cute bedrooms in the eaves remind you that you’re inside a historic cottage too! You’re only a few minutes walk from Bourton on the Water here, but you’re also across the road from a great pub!”

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.
