Kimkeri is a charming semi-detached, Edwardian villa in the popular village of Bourton-on-the-Water. Lying within the Cotswold stone interior is a spacious house filled with an abundance of character. The ground floor flows effortlessly with rooms that link to each other but also create individual spaces for guests to spread out and relax. Kimkeri comfortably sleeps six guests across three elegant bedrooms with two bathrooms and features a fully enclosed sunny garden. Whilst perfectly placed for enjoying the charms of Bourton-on-the-Water, it is also in a superb location for exploring the wider Cotswolds.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kimkeri. It was especially nice that we could park the car behind house and then spend most of our time walking to everything. Our granddaughter was thrilled to have a playground so close. The place was very comfortable and well equipped.

Nice property only 2-3 minutes walk from shops and restaurants in Bourton-on-the-Water. Standard of finish could be better and both lounges are a bit dim and unwelcoming. Conservatory/dining area could do with more seating like an L-shaped sofa rather than the two tub-chairs, as not enough for 6 people when it's the natural place to want to sit. Has everything else you need though including a nice garden/garden furniture, good parking/access for 3 vehicles and very comfy beds with good quality bedding and towels.

Kimkeri is a really nice family holiday home. Great selection of games and toys and garden is perfect for relaxing. We loved that we parked our cars in the allocated spaces and then didn’t use them for a week. Everything in the village is within walking distance!
The only thing missing for us was a stair gate! That would have been really useful when holidaying with a 21 month year old!

We stayed at Kimkeri for 6 nights. From there, we had access to Chipping Camden, Bibury, Stratford Upon Avon, Stonehenge, and more, within easy driving distance. The house sits a short walk away to a playground that our two boys (8, 5) absolutely adored, especially the zipline! Mousetrap Inn is a 1 minute walk (kids loved the Eton Mess!), Bakery on the Water is 3-5 minute walk (fabulous pastries, coffee and more), and several other restaurants that we truly enjoyed. Perhaps the best of them was the Old New Mill at the opposite end of town, easily worth the 10 minute walk especially if you can sit on the back patio on a blue sky day. Bourton’s “high street” is unquestionably charming, but best enjoyed before 9 am. During the day it’s overrun with day trippers hovering along the river and swelling the adjacent shops and restaurants— none of which we found to be “can’t miss” (save for the Corswold Bakery and a few ice cream spots). The house itself had 3 generously sized bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (2 showers), and a very functional first floor layout. We repeatedly struggled to figure out how to use the combo washer-dryer (hit or miss as to whether our clothes would come out dry), but perhaps that’s because Americans are so unfamiliar with the combo equipment. We did try everything! The patio door is sneaky hard to figure out how to lock. With a few handle jiggles and several full key turns it eventually latches, but it isn’t intuitive. Otherwise, no complaints whatsoever. We had a wonderful trip and would recommend Kimkeri without reservation to anyone wanting to enjoy Bourton and the best of the surrounding Cotswolds.

We have shared your feedback with the owner and housekeeper who wish that you had reported during your stay about the washer dryer and patio door as they would have been happy to visit the property and help you with these.

My family and I loved Kimkeri. It is a comfortable, lovely cottage. We loved the easy walk to restaurants, shopping, and of course the water and ducks. We’re sorry we couldn’t stay longer and enjoy more time in the backyard, especially.



Very pleased with our accommodation.

We were very pleased with our accommodation. Clean and well resourced. Several sitting areas was a bonus. The location and parking area was great. Enjoyed so much, we’ve booked again. Would thoroughly recommend Kimkeri.

What a perfect place, in a perfect location, in a gorgeous part of the Cotswolds! Kimkeri was a lovely cottage and so spacious! 3 really good size bedrooms, 3 sitting areas! There was only my husband and I, and our 2 year old but we would have easily had another 2 adults comfortably stay with us. Very comfortable beds and the kitchen was really well equipped. Bourton on the water was wonderful and it was less than. 5 mins walk from Kimkeri to the centre of Bourton. The bonus was the 3 parking spaces and playground at the end of the road! We would definitely stay here again when we’re back in the Cotswolds.

The house is extremely well equipped with high quality gadgets. Central location with parking. It is very spacious with ample room for 6 people, ideal for a longer stay.
Arrival and departure times could be improved by adding an hour each end to make it more comfortable. Email contact did not work but phone was answered immediately and issue resolved promptly. Would happily return.

Four generations of our family spent a week at this lovely house.
Communal areas on ground floor were ideal for family life. Two supersized televisions and large dining table provided great spots for the family to gather. Kitchen was extremely well fitted out.
All bedrooms had comfy beds and adequate storage.
Rear garden was large and had the weather been warmer would have been ideal area to relax in.
House is in an ideal spot to access the village.

As a family we've stayed at many cottages in the Cotswolds, to be fair mainly Rural Retreats. Kimkeri was very clean, beds very comfy, well equipped and great location. BUT we bought my 85 Mum along and the outside of this property needs to be looked at urgently. No lighting in the back of the garden, if you arrive in the evening, its so dark and the pavement is extremely slippery. I couldn't let my Mum walk on her own outside, too dangerous.
Also, the outside light at the front of the house doesn't work which was also very dark, couldn't see the steps and again very slippery.



A thoroughly enjoyable family break at Kimkeri.

Kimkeri is a spacious, well equipped, clean and comfortable house very close to the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water. The garden and provision of ample private parking were great assets.

The property was ideally located for access to the village which had plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as a small but well stocked supermarket. The property had an enclosed garden which is ideal for dogs. Nicely furnished with all the required amenities. Two bathrooms both had showers but no bath. Downstairs toilet very useful.

What a treat! We stayed with our two children and grandparents. Beds are huge and comfy. Plentiful blankets. Huge fluffy towels. Everything you could want in the kitchen. Thoughtful extras in condiments and toiletries.
Massive TV screen, big fridge... the owners are very generous and it makes the house feel like home from home.
Kids loved being so close to a good playground, we loved the garden furniture, church bells and easy walks onto the village and fields beyond. We also worked from home whilst grandparents looked after the kids and found WiFi speeds good with 2 of us working. Definitely a place we will return to.

Had a great week at the house. Lots of outdoor time. The garden was perfect for the dog. The Gardner came the week we were there but I think it’s needs more upkeep, looking a bit scruffy. The recycle bin was overflowing, as I presume it’s picked up on alternate weeks. The house was great for summer and easy to get into town.

House in a superb location for everything in Bourton & Bourton was central to wider area for places we visited.
Customer Service was very responsive.
Some lovely touches and extras in the house but some basics missing (Dishcloth, Washing up bowl, Cheese Grater, Measuring Jug, bin bags) which one would expect for the price. Assured these will be replaced via a text by return so I have no doubt that they will.

Brilliant location in central Bourton on the Water so easy 5 minute walks to good restaurants and local shops. We holidayed as a family in late November and had a great time even if the weather was sometimes inclement, in the summer it would be fabulous as the garden is well set up and secluded for outdoor dining.
House is well equipped over three floors with bags of Cotswold character and it has off street parking which is a real bonus.
Would happily return to this one.
