Bourton-on-the-Hill is a small village about 2 miles (3 km) west of Moreton-in-Marsh and is in the heart of the North Cotswolds making all the local towns, villages and tourist attractions of the Cotswolds easily accessible. The village overlooks the surrounding hills of the Cotswolds and lies on the Heart of England Way walking route, which heads southwards to Bourton-on-the-Water and northwards to Cannock Chase. The village is also connected by a footpath to the Cotswold Way, via Blockley and Chipping Camden. Bourton on the Hill has an award winning gastro pub a few moments walk from the cottage - the Horse and Groom, booking is recommended. The village church is Grade I listed. The nearest shops and supermarkets can be found in Moreton in Marsh. There are an abundance of quintessential Cotswold villages and towns within easy reach of the cottage including: Upper Slaughter, Lower Slaughter, Broadway, Snowshill, Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water. Bourton on the Hill is approximately 2 miles, a short taxi ride/ bus ride, from Moreton in Marsh where there is a train station with a direct line to London. Whilst it is possible to visit the local area using public transport (the train in Moreton in Marsh and local buses), the Cotswolds is a rural area that is best enjoyed by car. A private parking space is provided immediately in front of the cottage. Rental Periods During peak holiday periods our minimum booking is 7 nights. Outside of these times our minimum rental is 3 nights.

The New Years stay will then arrive on the 27/ 30th for 7 nights minimum. Other things to note We are in the heart of the village of Bourton on the Hill and close to the Grade 1 listed church. The church clock chimes reassuringly in the distance every 15 min. Internet access is provided free of charge and is unlimited however we are in a rural location and off the main roads and therefore dependent on the service that BT are able to deliver to us via ADSL. We provide a welcome basket of logs during the winter months. After that guests should purchase further logs, kindling and fire lighters from local super markets/ garages Should Slatters Cottage be booked for your dates or you are looking for a slightly larger place please consider our other cottage in the heart of Blockley just a few mins down the road; https://www.airbnb.com/h/squirecottageblockley
