Cotswold Cottages, picturesque holiday accommodation in the heart of Gloucestershire’s Bourton-on-the-Water, has unveiled a major refurbishment of its largest property, Stepping Stones.
The spacious three-bedroom cottage – which has appeared on the likes of Kourtney Kardashian’s Instagram story – has undergone a £50,000 upgrade.
The renovations include a brand-new kitchen as well as new soft furnishings, furniture and decorative accessories, which have enhanced comfort while preserving the property’s traditional Cotswold charm.
The refresh is the second stage of a wider £100,000 investment across the site which began in 2025. The initial works saw the four neighbouring one-bedroom cottages fully renovated with new kitchens and bathrooms, alongside upgraded beds, sofas and furnishings.
Blending character with modern comfort, Stepping Stones retains original features such as exposed Cotswold stone and beams, while offering a warm, contemporary space designed for families and small groups.
The cottage sleeps up to seven guests and comprises of a double bedroom, twin room, single room plus a sofa bed in the living room.
Mandy Watkins, regional general manager for Boundless, said: “Stepping Stones is a standout property for us, offering the space and flexibility that larger families and groups are looking for.
“These updates ensure it matches the quality and feel of the wider site, while still celebrating the charm and heritage that make it so special. It’s a fantastic base for enjoying everything Bourton-on-the-Water has to offer.”
Guests staying at Cotswold Cottages receive free entry to the nearby Cotswold Motoring Museum and Toy Collection, home to the original Brum and a unique collection of motoring memorabilia.
Alongside the accommodation upgrades, £200,000 has also been invested at the museum to transform the on-site gift shop, now redesigned with a car-and-garage theme that reflects its heritage.
Cotswold Cottages are owned by Boundless, the membership club for current and retired public sector and civil service workers. Members can save up to 20% on public prices, with membership starting from just £45 a year.
