Summary

The Bybrook is a large detached property, built in traditional Cotswold stone, and located on the edge of the famous village of Bourton-on-the-Water, affectionately known as the “Venice of the Cotswolds”, due to the beautiful river that meanders through the heart of the village. Bourton itself has plenty to appeal to visitors, including a wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as being ideally located for exploring the many other beautiful towns and villages of the Cotswolds. Further afield places, such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Bath are also within easy reach.

Newly built in traditional Cotswold stone, The Bybrook is spacious and well laid out, with modern facilities that include wireless internet access, two TVs (one with a DVD player), and a large, well presented kitchen.

The Bybrook sleeps 8+1 guests in four bedrooms (with the +1 on a day bed in the family room), with two bathrooms and a ground floor cloakroom. There is a lovely enclosed garden at the back of the property and two off street parking spaces to the side. The Bybrook is ideal for large family gatherings or for groups of friends seeking a relaxing break in one of the Cotswolds best loved villages, surrounded by glorious countryside.
