The following country cottages are on the edge of the village of Bourton on the Water in Gloucestershire.

Two things above all give the Cotswold landscape its special warmth and richness; the soft natural limestone and the wealth of the past wool trade, which has left a heritage of superb buildings. 

Great variety of attractions: from wildlife parks, to historic houses and gardens, to water parks and sporting facilities. 

These are quite apart from more sedate pleasures such as browsing amongst superb antique shops (Tetbury alone has over 30) or just enjoying the peace and tranquillity of this, Britain's biggest 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. 

Places for day trips in the Cotswolds: Bourton on the Water is the ideal base to explore other parts of England such as the university town of  Oxford, Cheltenham, Stratford upon Avon and London - all of which are easily and quickly accessible by car or public transport
