🌿 Meet Rusty… the gentle giant of Southlands 🐘
One of the most talked-about features of our garden is Rusty the Elephant, peacefully standing amongst the trees and greenery here at Southlands B&B in beautiful Bourton-on-the-Water.
Guests love relaxing in the garden with a cup of tea, listening to the birdsong and spotting Rusty watching over everything — he’s become quite the local celebrity!
If you’re looking for a peaceful Cotswold escape with warm hospitality, beautifully refurbished rooms, delicious breakfasts and tranquil surroundings just a short stroll from the village centre, we’d love to welcome you.

There’s always one guest favourite in our garden… and it’s definitely Rusty 🐘❤️

Our life-size elephant has become quite the celebrity here, bringing smiles, laughter and plenty of photo opportunities for guests of all ages. From fun poses to big grins, we love seeing everyone making memories with Rusty during their stay.

He may not move much… but he certainly knows how to make an impression! 😄

Have you met Rusty yet?
