Craigmoor Cottage is a large newly renovated and uniquely refurbished traditional Cotswold stone cottage built around 1800; located at the end of a quiet lane that leads directly onto the river Windrush. The cottage is at the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water with pedestrian access to the High Street, the footbridges and the footpath along side the River Windrush.
The space
Craigmoor has undergone complete renovation that was completed in February 2017. The cottage was refurbished to offer true luxury in keeping with its history with a plethora of traditional features such as oak beams and exposed Cotswold stonewalls.
Particular emphasis has been given to the finishings and the decorative items. Our aim is to provide a spacious, calming luxury cottage.
Living/dining room: This is large warm calming room with exposed Cotswold stonewalls full of traditional character; this is enhanced by the white painted beams and the exposed stained beams in the dining part of the living room. The room is covered with think 21 mm engineered oak flooring with a bespoke off white finish. The living room has a large L shape sofa; an elegant beautiful velvet armchair with a weather oak frame and a caned back. There is a Samsung TV with a built in satellite tuner. The oval dining table is a French provincial style, with a distressed effect finish, that sits eight. The rooms share a woven Jute carpet in a oatmeal colour. The walls are decorated in the living room with a set of four framed embroideries of family crest designs. The walls in the dining part of the room are decorated by a set of six botanical prints depicting tree leaves, framed in distressed black painted wooden frames. The private garden can be viewed from two large windows made from hardwood and toughened glass. A delightful grey effect sidetable crafted from solid oak. Finally in the dining area there is a European school, 19th century oil paining of a mountainous landscape.
