Terracotta

Bourton-on-the-Water draws visitors year-round for its River Windrush, five stone bridges and rows of honey-coloured houses that define the Cotswold character. Terracotta sits on the first floor of a mellow stone building a short walk from the village hub, where pubs, shops and the famous Model Village are within easy reach. The Cotswolds stretch out from here in all directions—Blenheim Palace, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle and Oxford are each under an hour's drive away.

The apartment itself is a self-contained space with one double bedroom, a bathroom with bath and shower, and a combined living and dining room. The kitchen is equipped for real cooking: electric oven, microwave, fridge-freezer and washer-dryer mean you can prepare meals or do laundry without fuss. Bed linen, Wi-Fi, heating and electricity are all included. One parking space is available on site. The property is non-smoking.

This works well as a base for walking, exploring the wider area, or simply spending time by the river. Moreton-in-Marsh railway station is 8 miles away if you're travelling without a car.
