Bourton-on-the-Water is about a 25 minute drive away and has Birdland Wildlife Park set on the River Windrush with a Jurassic journey with 30 life sized dinosaurs! The miniature village is also really fun for kids, as is the Cotswold Motoring Museum – great wet weather option. Also, just having an ice cream by the river is so lovely, there are also lots of great pubs.

Montpellier Gardens has a fantastic little playground and is the closest park to the cottage. It’s perfect for toddlers and a large flat area where children can ride bikes and scooters safely and in sight. There’s also a BMX/scotter/bike ramp for older children. Great little café too with nice coffees, cakes and ice creams. Toilets on site.
