Kimkeri, Bourton-on-the-Water - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Set just a short stroll from the centre of picturesque Bourton-on-the-Water, one of the Cotswolds' most iconic villages, Kimkeri is a traditional Cotswold stone house with a wealth of charm and character. This is the perfect choice for those searching for a peaceful Cotswold escape with plenty of attractions within walking distance.

Once inside you'll find original quarry tiles lining the hall floor, which leads from the front door to the rear of the house, stained glass windows and exposed Cotswold stone walls and beams all adding to the appeal. On the ground floor there's a spacious living room and cosy snug, both with decorative fireplaces, and stretching the width of the house is a fabulous dining/family room, a sociable space with plenty of room for all. To one end is a light-filled dining space with a large dining table set beneath glass roof lights with doors that you can throw open to the patio and to the other a relaxing TV area. On the first floor are two beautiful bedrooms and a bathroom, and on the second floor, a spacious master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.

After a busy day exploring, the enclosed, sunny rear garden is a beautiful and peaceful spot to relax with a G&T or two, as you listen to the bees busy in the lavender bushes, and perhaps rustle up a delicious feast on the barbecue. Through the garden gate at the end of the lawn, you'll find private parking for three cars, a real bonus in such a central and popular location.

The storage cupboard built into the original fireplace contains a selection of board games and cards.

The rear garden of Kimkeri is a beautiful south-facing plot with a large, level lawn, perfect for garden games and picnics. It's fully enclosed with an old stone wall to one side bordered by a swathe of fragrant lavender bushes, whilst the other side is a well-established hedge. The large patio boasts a rattan outdoor dining set.

A path leads through a high gate into a small courtyard area, where the owner has a garden shed, and a second gate leads into the front garden. A beautiful pear tree flourishes here, in honour of an original pear tree that was once planted. Raised borders and gravel beds frame the footpath and front gate. There is parking for three cars in a private parking bay for Kimkeri at the rear of the garden.

A perfect home and location for our Cotswolds adventures
We stayed for two weeks at Kimkeri and we don’t think we could have found a better situation for our needs. The location to Bourton on the Water and the bus line were ideal for mornings and evenings in the village, and a bus line for our many day trips. The home had three snugs which allowed us to spread out and have time alone as well as together. The backyard was where we spent most morning and evenings, enjoying the gardens, the apple tree, the birds. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen suited our needs. We would highly recommend Kimkeri to anyone. We loved coming home to Kimkeri after our days adventures. Thank you for the opportunity to stay here!

Very disappointing
The property was not as described and had numerous faults. The freezer in the fridge was frozen over, their was mould above and in the shower, the shelf in the kitchen and above the floor in the living room was peeling, and there was a terrible smell in the kitchen. The ,location was excellent but this could do with a good deep clean and touching up peeling paint work

Great location
Great location in Bouton-on-the-Water. Everything was within walking distance of shopping and great restaurants and bakeries. We were even able to walk to a few other Cotswolds villages via public footpaths. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the location was superb. Overall, a very nice stay.

Great location
Una casa estupenda para una familia de 5, tres habitaciones smplias, con camas muy comodas, 2 cuartos de baño y un aseo, buen jardín con barbacoa y zonas comunes comodas y funcionales. La ubicación inmejorable en el centro del pueblo. La limpieza,correcta sin más, habia cosas a mejorar, seguramente la casa llevaría dias sin alquilar. Sin duda un sitio para repetir
