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!

Thank you Willem, it was lovely to meet yourself and Netty. Wishing you further enjoyment in the UK.

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.

What an amazing review, thank you so much Norma. It was a pleasure to meet yourself and Derek. Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for the delicious lemon drizzle cake, it is my Mother-In-Law Jan who is the fabulous baker! We look forward to welcoming you again in the future, but in the meantime, we wish you a fabulous rest of the year!

Excellent place to stay just outside the busy village of Burton on the Water.About a 10 - 15 minute walk to get to the village and restaurants.Jules and Tony are delightful. Breakfast amazing!

Aww thank you Donna, we look forward to welcoming yourself and Lee again in the future. Thank you for also leaving a review on Booking.com

We arrived 3 hours before check in and were welcomed with a coffee and home made lemon drizzle cake! Our room was ready to so we're able to unload. 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

Thank you Lucy what a most wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure to have yourself and Trevor stay with us. We wish you an amazing rest of the year!

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.

Thank you Hayley, what a lovely review! We look forward to welcoming you again in the future! Wishing you a happy, fun summer!

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.

Little extra touches make a difference,a hand written welcome greeting,tea coffee biscuits but also bottled water, little extrathe bathroom roo.Decent off road parking and camera security.But the best was the breakfast,no words, absolutely the best cooked breakfast.As well as a host of other options,spolit for choice.The room was refreshed on our second day which was another welcome touch.The beautiful garden at the front is another bonus, sit a watch the world go by.This b&b is highly recommended.All this amd a fab location 5 mins walk if that into Bourton.Thank you so much.

Well, Abi it was a pleasure to have you and your family stay with us. So pleased you enjoyed Birdland and had perfect weather for your visit. We look forward to welcoming yourself, Jamie, Tracey and Scott again in the future. In the meantime, have a wonderful summer!

Jules & Tony looked after us so well. We liked the room and food and the great hospitality. Great location too. EV charger would be helpful as not many in the area but I know they’ve only just taken over the B&B and have a list of things to do to improve the establishment to even greater heights! Highly recommended.

Response

Hi Steve thank you for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to have yourself and Julie stay with us. With reference to the EV charger, this is an avenue we are exploring to see if it is an option for us to offer. Wishing you a great summer!

Thank you Jules and Tony for a simply wonderful stay.From beginning to end it was memorable, from the freshly baked lemon drizzle cake and cuppa to the big hug from Jules at the end.There is nothing more we could have asked for.The decor of your home is truly beautiful.We felt very comfortable and pampered in our glorious room.Tony's breakfasts were sensational and I did over indulge.The location was fabulous, just a short walk into all the activity in Bourton-On-The-Water.I will pass the word to anyone I know who is coming your way and we hope to be able to return one day.Thank you so much and I wish you much success.

Response

Thank you Karen, what a lovely review! We enjoyed having yourself and Carl stay with us. Have a fabdabulous summer!

We had a lovely 2 night stay at Southlands. It had everything we needed (and more!). Very clean, well-appointed rooms, great location 10 mins walk from the village centre. Jules was ready to welcome us with tea and cake on arrival, but as we had a dinner reservation, we had to decline. The following day, when we arrived back from our sightseeing, our cake had been thoughtfully wrapped and taken to our room with a fresh supply of tea and coffee - our kind of hospitality! Would highly recommend.

Response

Thank you Diana, we are so happy that yourself and Mark enjoyed your stay regardless of the weather. Hopefully sunny days will come for us all soon. Wishing you a wonderful summer.

Response

Thank you for your lovely review Jane. It was great to meet yourself and Denise and the tips you gave us on the surrounding area such as chocolate shops and flower shops.Wishing you a lovely summer.

Jules and Tony were excellent, welcoming & friendly hosts. Our stay at Southlands was a most relaxing break. Our room had everything we needed, tea & coffee facilities, lovely comfy bed and a lovely size bathroom.Breakfast was delicious, with a great variety to choose from and the produce delicious.We would recommend the circular walk from Bourton through Upper and Lower Slaughter which is approximately 5 to 6 miles. We ate in a number of cafes and pubs during our stay and all provided very good quality food. Southlands is just a short 5 minute walk from the centre of Bourton with ample parking.We would highly recommend a visit to Broadway which is simply beautiful.We would not hesitate to recommend Southlands to family, friends etc and anyone looking for a lovely, quiet but central location.Thanks again to Jules and Tony who very much helped to make our stay so enjoyable.John & Alison

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*

Response

Thank you Park it was a pleasure to have you stay with us and we look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you again.

The location of the property is ideal, as it is walking distance from Bourton on the water (my favorite village in the area).The room was very nice, spacious, super clean, and with an amazing view to the garden. We woke up with a view and the sound of birds singing!Most importantly Jules and Tony were excellent hosts, which really made the whole experience unforgettable and personalized. They were very welcoming, caring, happy to chat and share information for nice walks and villages to visit in the area. The highlight was the delicious cake that they gave us upon arrival (it was dreamy); while they even shared with us recipes for other cakes! Definitely going back to this place & I would highly highly recommend it to everyone!

Response

Thank you for your fabulous review Gemma, Tony and I look forward to welcoming yourself and Elliot again soon.

We have really enjoyred our stay at Southlands. Jules and Tony are wondeful hosts, who sapre no effort to make their guests feel at home. They both have a keen eye for details and are always ready to help. The place is 5-minutes walk to the centre of Burton-on-the-Water where water, architecture and local history come together to provide an excellent start for your discovery of Cotswold.

Response

Thank you for your lovely review Mehmet, it was a pleasure to have yourself and Sema stay with us.

My wife and I have just had the pleasure of staying 2 nights in one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited, Bourton on the Water. 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. Thank you Tony & Jules for making our stay so special. Regards Keith & Denise.

Response

Thank you for the fantastic review Keith and Denise. We look forward to welcoming you again in the summer.

Response

Stayed here before but new hosts this timeExcellent service and accommodation hits the spotGreat breakfast. Be back soon

Response

Thank you Andy, we look forward to welcoming you again soon.

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.

Thank you for such a wonderful review Kevin, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you again soon.
