A picturesque cottage located in popular holiday destination Bourton-on-the-Water has revealed its £50,000 renovation.
The property, called Stepping Stones, was visited by Kourtney Kardashian last year.
The spacious three-bedroom cottage – which has appeared on Kourtney’s Instagram story – has undergone an impressive 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.
Cotswold Cottages this week unveiled the major refurbishment of Stepping Stones, its largest property.
The cottage sleeps up to seven guests and comprises a double bedroom, twin room, single room plus a sofa bed in the living room.
It’s clear the cottage has all the charm one would expect of the Cotswolds, with the famous Kardashian sharing pictures of her Cotswolds stay on social media alongside the caption: ‘Dreamy storybook fairytale enchantment.’
Fans of the celebrity commented on the dreamy holiday on Kourtney’s social media, with one writing on Instagram: ‘Whimsical….where fairies live.’
Another excited fan wrote: ‘Oh my goodness you’re not far from me! Have a wonderful time, its so beautiful and picturesque.’
A third chimed in: ‘We hope you love The Cotswolds as much as we do!’
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 per cent on public prices, with membership starting from just £45 a year.
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.
