300-year-old Grade II listed B&B in Bourton-on-the-Water
Building & History
Chestnuts B&B occupies a Grade II listed building constructed 300 years ago in the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water. The original stone walls and door frames remain intact, giving the property a historic character that reflects the village's heritage. Guests enter through a shared lounge area that overlooks the village green and the River Windrush.
Accommodations
The B&B offers a wide range of room types, including king-size four-poster beds and suites with en suite shower rooms. Room 5 provides a spacious bedroom and bathroom, while the superior king rooms include a basket of welcome snacks such as biscuits, crisps, and chocolate bars. Free self-parking is available for guests, with 7 spaces allocated across the property.
Breakfast & Dining
Each morning, a full English breakfast or vegetarian option is served in the large south-facing breakfast room with views of the village green. Guests pre-order their breakfast the night before, choosing from cooked items, fresh banana bread, and self-serve toast, cereals, and fruit juice. The breakfast room also functions as a shared lounge where guests can relax and chat with others.
Location & Activities
The B&B sits directly in Bourton-on-the-Water, a famous Cotswold village, and is within a 1-minute walk of shops, pubs, and the river. Cheltenham Racecourse is a 40-minute drive away, and Sezincote House & Garden and Broadway Tower Country Park are also accessible by car. On-site activities include walking routes and fishing opportunities along the Windrush.
Family-Friendly Accommodations
Families with children aged 8 and older are welcome, and some rooms are configured as family suites with extra space. The central location allows families to park the car and explore the village on foot, reducing the need for daily driving. The shared lounge area provides a space for children to play cards or read after a day out in the Cotswolds countryside.
