About this cottage rental

Middle Gable The Old Hall is a beautifully presented Grade II* listed property which sleeps five guests, in two well-appointed bedrooms, with a modern family bathroom and a further ground floor shower room. The property is styled in a traditional yet contemporary manner, boasting a wealth of original character features including dovecotes (square holes on the outside wall, originally intended to house doves or pigeons), stone mullion windows, wooden beams, a magnificent fireplace and wooden flooring. Outside there is a double garage with off-street parking directly outside for one additional car and a tranquil garden with plenty of seating for al fresco dining. Middle Gable The Old Hall is situated in Bourton-on-the-Water, often affectionately referred to as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' due to the low arched bridges that cross over the River Windrush, which is home to a variety of fine eateries, tearooms and boutique shops, as well as numerous tourist attractions.

We travelled from Australia to the UK for Christmas for the second time once we knew we could again stay at Middle Gable. It was as wonderful as ever - such a beautiful and unique place to stay, So very close to everything that we needed in the village and a beautiful time of the year to be in Bourton on the Water. Host Cate was very responsive and helpful. Many thanks

A beautiful and historic home in a wonderful Cotswold location. We could not have been more pleased with Middle Gable! And the owner was very responsive and helpful. A top pic in an idyllic Cotswold town. RDD.

Check in at 5pm far too late and not warranted. Had to strip our own beds on last day which for the price we paid was ridiculous. No bins in kitchen to encourage recycling which didn’t make sense as had to collect rubbish in own bags anyway to take out to external bins. Banned from charging electric car, which as it turned out was a nightmare as local facilities really limited. Would only stay here again if they changed attitude to electric cars and check in time.. Neighbour’s lovely and very beautiful quirky old house in fabulous location with parking.
