The cottage was previously owned by a Navy officer hence the name. The cottage next door used to be called Crows Nest as he owned both prior to change of hands. Bourton has many restaurants within walking distance such as the Rose Tree or Smiths (burger and cocktails) , Mousetrap Inn or The Croft, The Willow, The Duke of Wellington or The Manse. So many small shops in the town too or just have a picnic next to the river. A bus stop is at the end of the lane about 100 metres from the cottage. Number 801 bus takes you to Moreton in the Marsh plus surrounding villages. Hire bikes from Hartwells Hardware store which is a 3 minute walk near Londis in the village. Or hire cars from Moreton in the Marsh should you wish to adventure further afield. There are many walks locally. Our favourite is to follow the footpath at the back of the cottage to Lower Slaughter. Once there you can dawdle along the river whilst taking in the water mill and gorgeous rows of cottages. Tea rooms and shop in mill and try the Slaughters Inn for a drink and a bite to eat. Local horse riding available plus the car museum , model village and Birdland all within walking distance.
