Absolutely Lovely! 4 months ago

We loved our stay at Holly House last October! Jayne and Dave are the best hosts! Breakfast was amazing! The house is conveniently located to downtown and many restaurants. We loved Bourton-on-the-Water! It was our favorite town in the Cotswalds! Stay at Holly House; you won't regret it!

Best of the best! 6 months ago

Holly House is amazing! David and Jayne are so welcoming and have thought of everything! We stayed in Notgrove Suite which was perfect! Devine bed and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is devine, lovely fresh fruits and David's cooked breakfast is definitely 10/10! Great location for Bourton-on-the-Water and other Cotswold towns and villages. We loved it so much we decided to stay and extra night! Hope to return soon.

Holly House, Bourton on the Water. A true gem. 7 months ago

We’ve just returned from a 2 night stay at Holly House, Bourton on the Water. Having stayed at many, many Bed and Breakfasts over the years we can say with confidence that this is one of the very best. Jayne and David deserve all the lovely comments that other people have made and can only agree with everything positive that has been said. From the initial booking contact to our departure hug from Jayne it was short but memorable stay and one we would like to repeat.

Bourton on the Water is simply beautiful even in November and so well situated for touring the Cotswolds. Holly House is a very easy walk of between 5 and 10 minutes into the centre of the village. Parking is in front of the house and it’s good to be able to leave your car and walk out for a meal in the evening.

We stayed in the Notgrove Suite which has its own private sitting room complete with a fridge (stocked with bottled water, milk, chocolates and chocolate biscuits), settee for two, drinks tray with different types of tea and coffee and hot chocolate. Jayne gives you cakes to take to your room and there is a decanter of Port and one of Sherry in the entrance hall should you want a nightcap! The room has everything you could possibly need including an iron and ironing board, a fan and hairdryer. I can’t think of anything missing. It was lovely to be able to use Netflix one evening as it was cold and wet outside.

Breakfast was perfection. All sorts of fruits, yoghurt, cereals and all manner of hot items too many to list. Just look on their website to whet your appetite. We’ve never had so many sausage choices before in any hotel or bed and breakfast! In fact we’ve stayed in 5 star hotels with less choice.

A particular mention should go to the bed. Often places say that they have comfortable beds but aren’t really. The bed in the Notgrove Suite was perfect. The room was incredibly quiet too and we heard no sound whatsoever during the night.

If you are reading reviews of accommodation in Bourton on the Water (as we did to help us decide) then we can only suggest that you check availability at Holly House. You can’t fail to be pleased with your choice. Jayne and David deserve their high rating and we would like to thank them so much for our lovely but sadly too short stay.

Fantastic B&B 8 months ago

Me and my fiancee stayed here for 3 nights. We've stayed at a number of highly rated B&Bs around the UK and both agreed that this was the best one we've been too! Breakfast was outstanding, the hosts were very friendly and welcoming and the room was comfortable and large. What made is stand out was the number of lovely little extras that you don't get elsewhere. For example, free chocolates in the room's fridge, daily freshly baked complimentary cakes in the entrance hall and lovely extra breakfast options (5 types of sausage, haggis, mango juice etc). I expect we'll be back next time we're in the Cotswolds!

Wonderful stay 8 months ago

My husband and I stayed at this fabulous B&B for five nights. Location wise it was a great base for exploring the Cotswolds and Bourton-on-the-Water had plenty of eateries within easy walking distance of the B&B.
Our hosts were kind and welcoming- even taking our extremely wet and muddy boots into their kitchen to dry off after a particularly mucky walk.
We stayed in one of the suites which was clean, spacious and had extremely comfortable beds. It was lovely and quiet and we slept really well.
Special mention has to go to the breakfasts too which were amazing! So much choice and really, really tasty! It’s going to be hard going back to a simple bowl of cereal tomorrow...
Parking is also no problem as there is ample space on the driveway.
Overall this B&B was a great find and we would highly recommend this to others as a place to stay and relax.

Everything you could possibly want, better than many good hotels. 10 months ago

There is parking for all guests. The house is situated an easy walk from the village centre, where parking is difficult, and there are plenty of cafes restaurants and amenities there.

The house is quiet and beautifully presented. The room was a good size, well fitted out and comfortable, and included a real fridge with filtered water and fresh milk for tea and coffee provided. Plenty of room to chill wine if you wish!

The breakfasts were truly magnificent, with everything on offer that I could think of eating for breakfast, and several I had never thought of. For example, 5 varieties of sausages, plus 3 varieties of gluten-free ones. Everything was cooked as healthily as possible and nothing was greasy, all freshly cooked.

There is a small lounge area, rare in a B&B.

Jayne and David were friendly and helpful, gave help with the luggage and did everything to make our stay of one week most enjoyable.

I would highly recommend Holly House to anyone and it makes an excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds.

Good location, good sized room and lovely breakfasts. 10 months ago

We stayed at Holly House for 3 nights. We were met by Jayne on arrival who was very welcoming. Offering to help with our luggage, making a cup of tea and giving advice on places to eat. She also told us the short route to the town centre. We therefore knew immediately that we had made a good choice of accommodation.
Our room, Windrush, on the second floor, was very spacious with a king-size bed and a walk-in shower in the bathroom. We found the room pristine and very comfortable.
Breakfast each morning was faultless with lots of options available. I had the full 'English' each day and Jayne went through the exhaustive list of possible options every time and was delighted when on the final morning I finally succumbed and included haggis in my request. We never met David during our stay but certainly enjoyed the food that he cooked for us.
Overall this has to be one of the best B&Bs that we have stayed at and can be thoroughly recommended. We cannot wait to return.

Most wonderful experience 10 months ago

Stayed at Holly House Bed and Breakfast from 16th-20th August. Owned and ran by Jane and Dave. We've all had the most brilliant time...on arrival we were greeted by Jane, a fantastic host who served us rock cakes and tea/coffee in the lounge, conversation flowed easily.
Our rooms, The Nutgrove (with an extra sitting area as pictured) and The Rissington were immaculate. Extra goodies in the fridge, with tea, coffee, drinking water, milk and bottled water were greatly appreciated. (the milk and water were replenished daily).
Breakfast was out of this world, an immense choice of sausage with the fried breakfast, choice of how we would like our eggs cooked and if a fried breakfast was not to our liking there were other options besides.
We were never rushed through breakfast and Jane and Dave had a constant friendly demeanour, kindness in every gesture and always happy to help, nothing was too much trouble. Conversation was plentiful no matter what time of the day.
A short walk to the nearest co op (about 5mins) and 10 min walk to the centre of Bourton allowed us to leave our car at the B&B (saving us from the monotonous parking issues if we had to travel farther afield). Pubs/eateries/coffee shops are a plentiful and the area of Bourton is truly tranquil. I could live here....
All in all a most wonderful break and we really feel we have made friends in our meeting with Jane and Dave. We will definitely be back.
Thankyou Jane and Dave for making our break so relaxing and memorable

The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom includes a lot of amenities.

The location is about a 5-10 minute walk down a tree lined path to the village center. There are many paths easily accessible from their location so we were able to explore in a few different directions.

Breakfast was amazing, a large variety of cereals, yogurt and fresh fruit followed by a cooked to order with selection to fit anyone's taste or food preferences. Breakfast is served in a lovely room overlooking the garden - get a table by the window!

We enjoyed sitting in the back garden reading or enjoying a glass of wine. In the afternoon there are fresh scones - AMAZING - they were a highlight!

A lovely stay at Bourton-on-the-Water 11 months ago

We have lost track of the number of B&Bs we have stayed at over the past month but we will not forget the hospitality and kindness we received from Jayne and David at Holly House at Bourton-on-the-Water when we stayed for 4 nights in August.

Jayne & David were cheerful and wonderful hosts. This is the only B&B we stayed at where our bags were taken up the stairs to our room for us! There were countless surprises that made our stay special - homemade biscuits & scones were made daily & there was Port for a night cap. The breakfast was the best we’ve had in over a month with fresh fruit salad and such a personalised hot breakfast selection & home made jams. Everything had such a homely touch.

Jayne even left gluten-free biscuits in our fridge for our coeliac requirements which was such a unexpected surprise!

Our room was lovely, the bed comfortable & the bathroom spotless. Free parking is available on-site. It was a short and lovely stroll into the village & we would not hesitate to recommend this as the perfect place to stay when visiting BOTW

Hostess Jayne was so warm and welcoming! She served us tea when we arrived, and was so cheerful and accommodating at breakfast time and for anything else we needed.

The bathroom was small, but everything fit; the shower was delightful and easy to operate.

Home from home 1 year ago

Stayed three nights at Holly House which we found to be just as good as the reviews suggest. It really felt like a home from home - the room was spotless and very comfortable with everything you could need. Great location close to centre of the village. Breakfast was delicious with great choice. Homemade cakes in the afternoon, and sweets in the hallway. Jayne and David were very friendly and accommodating - allowing us a late check in as we arrived after seeing a play in Stratford. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Our recent stay at Holly House, Bourton on the Water. 1 year ago

We recently spent 3 nights at Holly House and on arrival we were very warmly greeted with tea and homemade cake. Our room was lovely and clean and had a great walk in powerful shower. Bed was lovely and comfy and breakfast was served in the lovely dining room and was very good with a nice selection of cereals, fruits and yogurt and a choice of several different sausages served by our very friendly host Jayne. Nothing was too much trouble and our whole breakfast experience was very pleasant and relaxed. Bourton on the Water is easily walkable in a few minutes and there are many beautiful places to visit in the area. Parking facilities were also very good. We had a very nice stay at Holly House and Jayne and David were the most welcoming of hosts. We would have no hesitation staying again should we ever be in the area. Thank you again for a lovely holiday.

Wonderful, friendly B&B in beautiful location 1 year ago

We loved our stay with Jayne and David at Holly House B&B. They were hugely accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. We were in the area for a few days doing an off road bike event and they were happy to store our mountain bikes for us, and provide an early packed breakfast for the day of the event.

On the other days when we had breakfast at the B&B, it was really tasty, plentiful and Jayne was in gab to check that we were happy with everything.

The room was comfortable, clean and cosy and we were able to have access to a lounge area downstairs to relax and read in, which was an added bonus.

Bourton-on-the-Water is beautiful and the B&B is only a 5-minute walk from the centre.

We would highly recommend staying here and we would definitely stay here again if we were going to visit the Cotswolds in the future. Thanks Jayne and David!

Great accommodation & food. Excellent hosts 1 year ago

My mum& dad visited here earlier this month. They are an older couple & have asked that I put a review on for them....Our Stay at Holly House..
From the moment we arrived the hosts were very attentive and friendly advising that morning was too much trouble & to ask if there was anything we needed. The room was beautiful, extremely comfortable bed and large room with tea & coffee facilities and biscuits which were replenished as the days went by. The room had a fridge which also contained bottled water on arrival. The B&B is situated in a very tranquil area so very quiet & peaceful. Just what we wanted.
The surrounding area was beautiful and very quaint with lots to do and plenty of places to visit without having to travel far.
We will definitely be returning.
Thankyou so much Jane & David for a wonderful and very restful few days.

Beyond the call of duty 1 year ago

We stayed here over the Easter weekend. There are 6 rooms, including 2 suites, we had the Bourton room, which was immaculately clean. The bed is very comfortably firm, and apart from the en-suite bathroom, featuring a lovely rain shower, there is a small fridge in the room, with milk, a bottle of water and some chocolate bars, all complimentary. There are tea making facilities, tv, wifi, radio, docking station and a small wardrobe, ironing board with iron, fan and hairdryer in the room too.
The breakfast consists of various fruits, yoghurt and a variety of seeds, cereals, toast and jam etc. Cooked breakfast with a good selection is also available, with the emphasis on healthy, so very little oil is used. You are really made welcome by hosts Jayne and David, in this superbly run B&B.
As a special treat, when we came back to our room on Easter Sunday, there was a small bag hanging on our door, with an Easter card, Easter egg and as my wife is vegan, a chocolate bar for her! Incredibly thoughtful and a welcome surprise.
We would not hesitate to stay at Holly House again and can recommend it to anyone without hesitation. It is one of the best B&B’s we have stayed at.

Perfect birthday treat 1 year ago

We chose Bourton on the Water as a convenient location for our visit to the Cotswold Farm Park for my partner's birthday. Not knowing much about the area, or anything about accommodation in the village we relied on reviews for guidance in making our choice. And the reviews for Holly House do not lie! What a find! Such a lovely welcome from Jayne and a lovely comfy room, with the added extras of chocolate, biscuits and toiletries, not to mention the card and chocolates provided by David and Jayne for my partner.
The breakfasts are delicious, with such a wide choice of local produce, catering for all tastes, healthy or indulgent!
Holly House is within such easy reach of all that the village has to offer, ideal staggering distance, with the added bonus of on site parking.
We couldn't have asked for anything more for our celebration weekend. Thank you both for helping to make it so perfect.

Perfect Stay 1 year ago

So glad we picked this B&B to stay at for our weekend visit to Bourton-on-the-water! As soon as we arrived Jayne welcomed us in, asking if we wanted tea or coffee. When we got into the ‘Notgrove Suite’ it was very spacious and clean, just how it looked on the website. (If not better!) The breakfast certainly lives up to every expectations. We had high expectations from the reviews on here and we certainly wasn’t disappointed. You can tell just how much hard work Jayne and David put into their B&B while giving their guests an A* experience.

Perfect b&b with perfect hosts 1 year ago

We have just returned from a 2 night stay in Holly House. We were made to feel very welcomed by Jayne both on arrival and throughout the whole of our stay. The Windrush room was lovely, bed was large & comfy.
We especially loved the little decorations and homely touches around the place, including sweeties and home-made cookies for guests to help themselves to.
Breakfast was served in a lovely room by the garden, lots to choose from on the menu and again Jayne was very attentive.
The location was also ideal as only a short walk to the village and we enjoyed visiting Birdland.
We would love to return to this b&b next time we visit bourton-on-the-water for a weekend!

Perfect venue 1 year ago

From booking to the end of our stay everything was first class.

Thank you David for sorting our correct room out after we made a mistake with the on line booking. Just a quick phone call and it was sorted.

On arrival were met by Jayne who made us feel very welcome and supplied a much needed hot drink.

There were lovely homely touches everywhere in this scrupulously clean B & B. Our room had a huge comfortable bed, a small lounge with seating and the most well stocked fridge I have ever seen.

Breakfasts were amazing, so much choice. I don't think you could stay there a week and have the same thing to eat.

I would unreservedly recommend Holly House.

Thank you David and Jayne for a wonderful stay.

Highly recommended. 2 years ago

What do you expect in a B&B? A clean and comfortable room, good breakfast, friendly landlady? What do you get at Holly House? Spotlessly clean and sumptuous bedrooms, the best cooked breakfasts we've had in any B&B or hotel and welcoming owners who genuinely make you feel like guests rather than paying customers. No wonder it's rated No.1 in Bourton-on-the-Water.

Can\'t Recommend It Highly Enough 2 years ago

Everything was spot on and exactly as advertised. Our room was very pleasant, spacious, well stocked up on everything and very clean.

I often have trouble with mattresses in new places but had no issues with our mattress in our room and slept very well.

The staff were super lovely and the food was delicious.

Now I'm craving their salmon muffins and will be making an attempt to cook some homemade granola like theirs!


You could tell the food was freshly cooked and with quality ingredients as it tasted better than most restaurant food.

The service and set up, including decoration, showed clearly that Jayne and David really care about their B&B and their guests, and pay attention to the tiniest detail.

My partner and me can't recommend this place highly enough!
