1 / 24Hatties House
Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire
A two bedroom cottage for four in Bourton-on-the-Water with an enclosed garden, a wood burner and two dogs welcome, a short walk from the middle of the village.
The enclosed garden at Hatties House has a gate that opens onto the communal parking, which is worth knowing on the first morning rather than the second. It sleeps four in Bourton across two bedrooms, a king plus a twin, dog friendly, with a burner in the sitting room. Shut, that garden is a proper enclosure with a patio, and two dogs can have the run of it without anybody standing over them.
Two bedrooms and one bathroom is the ordinary shape of a Cotswold cottage for four, though a separate WC upstairs stops the morning becoming a negotiation. The sitting room has the fire in it, the dining room the table. Two dogs fit into that easily, because a cottage this size has one obvious place to lie and both will find it.
It suits four people who would rather be inside a village than looking at one from a lane. The house sits back from the busiest part, and the routine that has formed by Tuesday involves two dogs, one gate and a walk that starts before anybody else is up. A pair of dogs on the booking is the harder thing to find in a cottage this small, and it is what this one is for.
Winchcombe, 10.1 miles west under the escarpment, has a Neolithic long barrow above it at Belas Knap with a false entrance built into the front, meant to send grave robbers the wrong way. The climb is steady rather than steep and the top is open grass. Sudeley Castle stands below in the same valley with Katherine Parr buried in its chapel. Two dogs get the barrow and the hill under it, which beats the village street on any morning.

Is Hatties House dog friendly?
Yes, Hatties House is set up specifically for guests travelling with dogs — up to two are welcome. The cottage has an enclosed garden where your dogs can roam freely without needing to be supervised, and a wood burner in the sitting room to come back to after a walk.
Are dogs allowed at Hatties House year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the details suggests otherwise. If you want to confirm availability for a specific time of year, it's worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Hatties House with my dog?
The enclosed garden has a gate that opens onto the communal parking area — something worth getting your bearings on before your first morning walk so you're not caught out. Up to two dogs are welcome, and the cottage is a short walk from the village, with easy access to trails including the hill up to Belas Knap long barrow near Winchcombe, around ten miles away, which makes for a good dog walk with open ground at the top.
