Our time in Bourton-on-the-Water at Pear Tree Cottage was magical. We particularly enjoyed our time at the end of each day in the warm and cozy lounge. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds very comfortable, and the showers were excellent. Many happy memories and we would certainly stay again. ##### Steve N. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2023 This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Oct 6, 2025 #### Pear Tree Cottage was our best Cotswolds rental ever We stayed at Pear Tree Cottage for three weeks in September. From the first day, we fell in love with the cottage, with its comfortable places to settle in on rainy days to the beautiful garden (unfortunately, not enjoyed a lot due to unfriendly weather). The beds were extremely comfortable and house guests loved the second floor "apartment." The kitchen was very well equipped, important when staying for three weeks, and were greeted by coffee, tea and milk. (Suggestion: instructions for appliances would help as we live in the U.S. and needed assistance operating the equipment.) We appreciated the wide range of reading material, local art work, antique furniture and fascinating ornaments, especially "pear" symbols everywhere. The location is terrific, a five-minute walk to the town center, and The Smiths restaurant, just round the corner, became a favorite. We did not have a car, fortunate as there was literally no parking on the street due to others' permanently occupying the space, but visitors faced a challenge. Overall this was one of our most successful stays in the Cotswolds. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna D. Jun 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Traveller Pear Tree Cottage is absolutely adorable and the garden is beautiful. The entire house is equipped with everything you need for a self catering vacation. It’s in a great location on a quiet street a short walk from the village square. The property manager, Joanne, was responsive to every request and a delight to work with. The only thing I would suggest is some attention to the toilets. We had a lot of difficulty getting them to flush thoroughly. Perhaps an increase in the water pressure or larger tanks would help. Regardless, this issue would not deter me from staying at Pear Tree Cottage again. ##### Donna D. Stayed 28 nights in May 2023 This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 8/10 Good May 23, 2025 #### Wonderful Stay! Great Location! Fantastic Client Care! My wife and I frequently come to Bourton on the Water and this cottage tops them all! Great location; beautiful private garden; plenty of room…bedrooms are spacious and well decorated. Dealing not only with Staycotswold, but also the owner and local manager was a breeze. Few cottages have everything you would want - spacious refrigerator/freezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher and even a garbage disposal! Television has wide range of channels including access to all major premium channels (just sign in to hour account). Wifi is VERY strong all over the house and garden. Fireplace was perfect and we used it every night. ONLY recommendations—-it is time for nee beds. The bed in the master is a double…and if you are a tall/big fella like me…it’s a tight squeeze for two…and it sinks in the middle. The twin beds on second floor are also a bit out of date…went for a nap one day and it was leaning to the side. Might also consider a small tele for the Master. But, overall—a fantastic stay…highly recommend the Cottage, the owner and StayCotswold! ### 10/10 Excellent #### John G.
