Booking and payment

Character Cottages is a marketing agency and we do not own or manage any of the cottages listed on our website. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.

For bookings commencing more than 10 weeks in advance, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The balance payment is then due 10 weeks prior to arrival.

All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.

Security deposits

Security deposits are not required (please note that guests are still liable for any damage or additional cleaning required as a result of their actions).

Occupancy

The maximum occupancy of the property is four guests, at any point during your stay. Unauthorised over occupancy is a breach of our terms and conditions and may result in the cancellation of your booking and additional charges. Please consult us prior to booking if you wish to discuss the possibility of having more than four guests at the property.

Infants who sleep in a cot do not count towards the occupancy figure, however, due to space restrictions, the occupancy figure may only be exceeded by one additional infant.

For the comfort of future guests, we ask that dogs remain downstairs, stay off the furniture and that no trace of a dog remains after your departure.

Other Guest Feedback:

-"This is a fantastic property set in an excellent position a very short distance from the village and among relatively secluded surroundings... Its very clear that a lot of attention to detail went into this setting up this property from the design/layout to the fixtures and fittings. The owners (Richard and Tishy, really very nice people) had left some wine/cheese and crackers as a welcome gift, (a very nice touch) and there was milk, tea coffee as well as all manner of essentials in the well kitted out kitchen area (everything was spotless)
As its the 21st Century, having high-speed WiFi was really useful, as was the smart TV on a couple of evenings! In summary, I would not hesitate to revisit... The location is perfect as a base to venture out on either walking excursions or to hop in a car (or local bus) and explore them many quaint surrounding villages.", Mark, March 2019

-"Amazing, luxury cottage in the most superb rural location, just a short walk from the town of Bourton on the Water. With two young children, when we could get them away from the 'den' in the cottage (an upstairs chill out/play area),we went on lots of country walks (with access to lots of dog walks on your doorstep), including one across the field which takes you to a great farm with things to see for the kids. We enjoyed all that there is to do in Bourton, including the model village, the local swimming pool and even a family hack at the local equestrian centre. Dick and Tishy were so helpful, with chickens that we fed in the mornings. They could not have done more for us. A truly brilliant weekend!", Vicky, February 2019
