Today Andy and I set off to the Cotswolds to see Cosy Cottage, a property for let in Bourton on the Hill. It was small and quaint, with exposed cotswold stone work and hearth with exposed beams in the ceiling overhead in the front room, a wooden spiral staircase leading to 2 upper floors, first floor with bathroom and 2nd bedroom with 2 twin beds with the master bedroom on the 3rd floor where the bed was centered between the eaves with a little window & padded windowseat overlooking the street. The kitchen was very compact (tiny), leading out to the back garden which was narrow and long, and tucked into one corner was a small dog house built of costwold stone! It was very quaint, but was located on a main road where you could hear traffic passing by. Not entirely ideal, but it was cute. We carried on to Moreton in the Marsh and made a few inquiries with property agents there and saw 2 properties, one which would definitely be suitable, the only draw back really was an electric stove (not at all to Andy's liking being the chef that he is) . We didn't think to ask but suspect parking would be somewhere on a nearby street as it was located behind a shop on the main street, and surprisingly quiet. We are off to Leamington Spa tomorrow to view some other properties.
