Jules and her husband welcomed us on arrival and, seeing that my wife had mobility challenges, immediately changed our room to a ground floor room. The room was top notch as was the breakfast each day. We will definitely book Southlands again.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by Jules. After showing us to our room we were offered tea and homemade lemon drizzle cake in the guest lounge where we met Tonyand his mum who had made the cake.The bedroom was spacious,very clean and the bed and pillows comfortable.The tea tray was replenished every day. We had room 3 which had a large unsuited shower.Breakfast was served in the dining room over looking the garden. The full Engish was huge but perfectly cooked and the eggs orange.Jules and Tony have made a fabulous job of taking over this b and b so far and can't wait to revisit when their work on refurbishing is complete next year.Just one very minor comment but by no means retracts from anything I have said above and I am sure Jules and Tony will take into consideration, would be to have some bedside lamps. (The over the bed light was a tad too bright).Thankyou again for our wonderful stay and look forward to coming back.

We stayed 4 nights at the Southlands B&B. From the moment we arrived until we left we were treated by the charming host, Jules, like family. The building is beautiful, well preserved and near the main street. The parking is spacious and free. The rooms are comfort and very clean, and breakfast was a real treat. We hope to visit again soon!

I stayed here by myself to have a bit of "me time". It was perfect, the location is a close walk into the busy town (I came in summer), but really peacful. I was met at check-in and checked into my room seamlessly. I was even offered a hot refreshment and cake. My room was great, it was quiet, well equipped, and gave me the space to recharge. The location also had a lovely garden and area for me to relax and read. The breakfasts were tailored to my appetite and requirements, which was great and delicious. I was really made to feel at home here. I can't thank the hosts Tony & Jules enough, they bent over backwards to accommodate me with my stay. Still riding the tranquil holiday high days later!

We recently enjoyed a weekend away at Southlands bed and breakfast, the hosts were most welcoming. There attention to detail made our stay perfect.We were treated to the most memorable breakfast, which had everything you could wish for...especially the huge full English breakfast with the orange egg yolks. Allfresh and locally sourced.What sets the place apart, is the genuine warmth and friendliness of hosts Jules and Tony, offering helpful suggestions for local attractions...Jules' delicious lemon drizzle cake waiting in our room was such alovely touch.We can't recommend this b&b enough, we are definitely going to return.

Room was perfect with everything we needed and plenty of tea, coffee, biscuits etc. Location was perfect, just a short 5 to 10 min stroll into the centre of Bourton on the Water. Jules and Tony were both really lovely and couldn't do enough for you. It was like we were visiting old friends. Brilliant breakfast selection which was delicious. Great to meet Tonys mum and dad (Alan and Jan, I think) too.Nice to be able to sit in the garden in the sunshine. All in all a fantastic couple of days. Thank you Jules & Tony xxx

Just back from a relaxing weekend away.Our stay from start to finish at The Southlands B &B was excellent.Jules and Tony took care of us the minute we arrived, being greeted with coffee and homemade cake!This couple are clearly very proud of the establishment they are building up and rightly so.A 10 min walk to the centre of Bourton on the Water, which itself was extremely busy, and not something we are used to.There was lots to do to keep us occupied for the weekend.Saying that it was nice to come back to The Southlands and sit in the peaceful gardens with a glass of wine.Breakfast, well…not for those on a diet.Cooked to order, fresh and hot.Full English, or bacon sandwich, or pastries, in fact loads of choice, with juices, coffee and obviously toast.Our room was clean, tidy, with tea tray that was replenished daily.I did question the reviews I read, can a couple really be this good.Well actually they jolly well are.Well done Jules and Tony.Thank you for making your home ours for the duration of the our stay.We hope to be back during a quieter time.

This boutique B&B was top class. It is only a 10 minute walk to the main village and is situated in beautiful grounds. The decor and quality of the room was beautiful and very clean. Quite a large size room with ensuite compared to some we have stayed in. Jules & Tony made us feel very welcome with a lovely slice of lemon drizzle cake on arrival. Nothing was too much trouble. Jules did lend us an umbrella as I had forgotten to bring one, as it rained for some of our stay. They supplied us with plenty of ice and also prepped some strawberries which we had bought. They went over and above to makeUs feel welcome. The cooked breakfast was 1st class and I also had fresh fruit with yoghurt. Everything was of good quality, and wewould definitely stay here again.

We found Southlands B&B on Google. We read the room that was available and booked it.On arrival,Jules met us with a lovely warm welcoming smile, offered us refreshments and home made Lemon cake, which was absolutely delicious. Tony popped his head out to say hi too. Sucha lovely welcome from them both. Jules showed us to our room. Lovely, clean and welcoming room. On suit bathroom, which had everything you need for a shower and wash, shampoo and soap provided. Kettle in room for tea, coffee,hot chocolate, along with biscuits too. Bottled water as well.The bed was lovely and comfortable. The view from our window was lovely, looked out onto front garden. The garden,was well maintained and featured a lovely Iron Elephant, full size, i might add.Morning breakfast coverers everthing youcould want for. Full English, yogurt & fruit, cereal, pastries, toast, eggs to your liking,juices, tea & coffee, again to your liking. All cooked for you while you wait.The B&B is about 5mins walk from the village of Burton-on-the-water. There are many places to eat out at. Lots of village shops to browse around. A model village to visit, Bird world place as well. A good place to stay for a long weekend. We had a wedding to attend and it was a perfect place to stay at.As I said at the beginning, lovely clean, tidy, welcome place to stay. Would highly recommend Southdowns. 5*

What really made it so special was our stay at The Southlands B&B. Tony & Jules were amazing hosts who cared for our every need and nothing was too much trouble for them. Our room was spotlessly clean, spacious, had a very good size bathroom, with a comfortable king sized bed and a lovely view of the large front garden + Elephant. The dining room is decorated and equipped to a very high standard, with a very good varied selection for breakfast and the Full English was amazing (along with the Lemon Drizzle Cake)We would highly recommend The Southlands B&B and will definitely be returning for a prolonged stay during the summer months.

My wife and I had a delightful one night stay at this recently refurbished B&B the new owners Tony and Jules were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere warm relaxed, just how we like it.Our room was spotlessly clean as was everywhere and suitable equipped with all what you would need, a home from home. Our room was spacious and very comfortable and we both slept like logs, we looked over the garden that considering the time of year looked marvellous and we could see their full size elephant figure that made us laugh. after a super hot shower we went for breakfast, plenty of choice, cereals, pasties etc, we both went for the full English which was freshly cooked and tasted great. their was plenty of nibbles but we were to full.Southlands location is ideal, Its just outside of the town so you avoid the hustle and bustle that you sometimes get, we are both in our late 60s and the walk into town was flat and easy.The town has so much more to do than we had realised, with its quaint old stone buildings and the river Windrush winding through its middle crossed by a number of small unique bridges, we tried the local dark beer at the Mouse Trap Inn which I can highly recommend.The B&B is set well back from the road so you feel safe and secure, our only regret is only staying just for one night. Will we come back, most certainly, there is still so much to enjoy in the area and Southlands is an ideal base, my wife may even let me bring my fishing rods.
