Additional information

Craigmoor has undergone complete renovation that was completed in February 2017. The cottage was refurbished to offer true luxury in keeping with its history with a plethora of traditional features such as oak beams and exposed Cotswold stonewalls.

Particular emphasis has been given to the finishings and the decorative items. Our aim is to provide a spacious, calming luxury cottage.

Why they chose this property

The property has been completely refurbished over 10-12 months. The works have been completed in February/March 2017. I have been at the property almost every day throughout this period. I believe that the quality of the work, the finish, as well as the furnishing are exceptional. We have used thick engineered floor, quartz worktops, natural stone in the kitchen, entrance hall and the bathrooms, underfloor heating, fitted a pressurised hot water system, completely rewired the cottage etc. I am honestly not sure if there is a market for a property of this quality as I could not find anything that would be comparable to it in the area. I look forward to receive feedback from guests.

What makes this property unique

Bourton-on-the-Water is often referred to as the "Venice of the Cotswolds", due to its character and beauty. Although it is one of the most popular tourist spots, this property offers quiet tranquillity. Situated in one of the most elegant areas of Bourton-on-the-Water as it overlooks a large green and all of the surrounding properties are old traditional Cotswold stone cottages. It is also perfectly located for exploring other beautiful villages and towns in the Cotswolds.

The cottage is at the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water with pedestrian access to the High Street, the footbridges and the footpath along side the River Windrush. In addition to the lovely walks in the village centre, the cottage also boasts the benefit of several public footpaths, two of which begin opposite the cottage. Moreover, numerous shops, pubs and restaurants, including the village supermarket are located a short walk away.

The cottage is an ideal option for friends or families seeking a relaxing break in a beautiful truly luxurious traditional cottage in a stunning Cotswold village.
