This lovely house sits just on the edge of Bourton with a flat 10 minute stroll into the village. It is warm, cosy and the additional of a hot tub is fabulous. It has little touches like a wireless phone charger, alexa, posh toiletries and towels and flip-flops for the tub included. There were a few niggles that didn't spoil the stay but we're annoying. On arrival a smoke detector was constantly bleeping, the remote needed new batteries in the small upstairs bedrooom,there was no potato masher and the dishwasher had no salt so nothing was getting clean. The radiators had to be bled as upstairs was cold.. The biggest issue was the hot tub stopped working on the Saturday due to not being filled sufficiently . Kevin the agent come round within 10 minutes of calling on Saturday afternoon and sorted the issue by getting a hose and refilling.Sadlyit took until sunday morning before the tub was warm enough to use. Despite these niggles we would stay here again and had a fabulous time.

We stayed at Puddleduck House over Christmas and we couldn’t have had a more fantastic stay. The owners have thought about everything - the cottage was decorated for Christmas, there were milk and cookies on arrival, bathroom and kitchen necessities in the cupboards and extra towels for the hot tub. The house was spotless and bed extremely comfy! We were contacted on the day of arrival at 3:30pm to say the cottage was ready for us early which was fab. Puddleduck House is in a perfect location, it was a 10 minute walk into Bourton on the Water, which we would walk daily. We felt the house was a lot more spacious than the photos, and the hot tub really made it that extra bit special. The outdoor space is great and we could imagine how nice this would be in summer. We stayed 7 nights over Christmas and really felt like we got great value for money given the time of year - I would recommend Puddleduck House to anyone and we would definitely return!

Where to start..wow is all I can say for this beautiful home!! Milk and eggs left in the fridge too! We stayed for 2 nights and had no trouble settling right in before heading to the village for a mulled wine! The bedrooms were so spacious and couldn’t have asked for a better location just half a mile stroll from the pubs and shops. The hot tub was lovely and warm on arrival and even came with a little changing room where we could remove wet clothing before heading back into the house which was ideal. Each room had its own tele but we didn’t use them much as we were out and about most of the time. We enjoyed a lovely morning walk on the Saturday just up from the house which was a circular route, well maintained and signposted the entire way past some pretty lakes and farmland. Can’t fault the house other than some minor marks on the walls in the kitchen and up the stairs but that did not bother us in the slightest! Parking for 2 cars easily but you could fit a third! We stayed in autumn but I can imagine this would be ideal in the summer as the garden had sun loungers!

Great house in a fantastic location, lovely to be able to walk into the village. We were 6 adults and were very comfortable, beds were great! Would have been better if the hot tub had been left hotter for our arrival, it takes a while to warm up and it meant we couldn't use it the evening we arrived. Generally clean but needs a deep clean (cutlery drawer, bin etc), shame the nice looking toiletry dispensers in the shower were empty. All in all a great place to stay
