Overview

**This property is new to our portfolio and will soon be ready to take bookings. If you’d like further information, please do get in touch with our StayCotswold Bookings team**

Murray's Cottage is a spacious holiday let which enjoys far-reaching rural views across the stunning Cotswold countryside. With three peaceful bedrooms and two bathrooms, this lovely home accommodates up to five guests, and features country comforts with a log burner, cosy seating and a welcoming kitchen designed for relaxed dining and spending quality time together. Out in the garden, guests can enjoy home cooked meals overlooking the expansive views, whilst upstairs, a balcony off the primary bedroom offers a more secluded spot from which to savour a morning coffee, while away long summer evenings with a glass of wine or even stargaze on a clear night. Murray's Cottage is an idyllic country retreat, yet is just three miles from the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water, home to many eateries, shops and attractions.

Booking & Payment

StayCotswold is a marketing agent and therefore does not own any of the cottages listed on our website. In terms of cleaning and maintenance, the properties within our portfolio are managed by a third party property manager or the property owner – your pre-arrival email will contain confirmation and contact details for the person managing your property. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.

For bookings commencing more than 8 weeks in advance, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The balance payment is then due 8 weeks prior to arrival.

All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.

Location Information

Murray's Cottage is nestled on the edge of Clapton-on-the-Hill, just three miles from Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds'. A number of much-loved attractions are nearby, including the renowned Hawkstone Brewery, which offers fantastic tours, and the family friendly Cotswold Wildlife Park. A particular favourite of the team is Dunkertons Park, ideal for a relaxed afternoon out. For those looking to dine out, The Mousetrap in Bourton-on-the-Water is a must-visit, while The Stump and The Fox at Great Barrington are also excellent choices.
For your shopping essentials, there is a Co-op in Bourton and a Tesco superstore on the outskirts of Stow-on-the-Wold.
Clapton-on-the-Hill is perfectly placed for exploring the market towns of Stow-on-the-Wold and Burford, as well as the picture-perfect village of Lower Slaughter, with its gently winding river and historic watermill.
