    Great location being in the centre of town, but in its own courtyard so feels secluded. Great communication from the very friendly and helpful hosts. Stow is a great location for a holiday in the Cotswalds. Independent shops, pubs, restaurants and good bus links too.

    Hi Christine, It was lovely to meet you both and we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay at Coln. As you say the location is ideal and the parking in the courtyard is very much a bonus. We would love to welcome you back again sometime in the future. Best regards Julie & Rob Property Owner

    Perfect spot as it is right in the village. Very cosy and comfortable. Little extra touches like the cake, wine and velvetiser made a difference. We took our four month on her first trip away and she settled in very quickly, we didn’t want to come home. We love Stow it’s one of our favourite places, we have recommended the cottage to our in laws as it would be perfect for them. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  • "The property is ideally situated, and great to have a parking space, the only criticism of the property was the bathroom."

    My husband being tall could not stand in the shower, and the sink was too small, making a wet floor.

    Hi Yvonne Many thanks for taking the time to leave feedback for Coln. The cottage is indeed very well located to enjoy all that Stow has to offer and the parking space is a big bonus. To address your comments as regards the bathroom, it is an over bath shower working within the confines of an old period property & not a cubicle and the slight height restriction is covered in the listing for the cottage so you should have been aware of this. In two years of letting out Coln we have never had any previous comment on the sink being too small. Finally your lowered scoring is a little confusing as your husband described the cottage to me in a text as being great. Best regards Julie Property Owner

    Hi Denize, Thanks for taking time to leave feedback for us and also for your lovely comments.

    It is placed almost in the centre if Stow and there are many pubs, restaurants and shops in this lovely Cotswold town. Highlights for us were visitsvto National Trust houses Hidcot Gardens and, even better, Snowshill Manor. Bourton on the Water is lovely but best visited early on a weekday as it attracts so many tourists. Upper and Lower Slaughter are chocolate boxy villages very close to Stow and there are brilliant walks to be had through delightful countryside. Not far away are Cirencester which is the best town nearby that we visited, Tewkesbury was OK. Stratford-upon-Avon just trades on Shakespeare and the unremarkable theatre but apart from a good waterfront on the river and canal and a few old buildings is rather disappointing.

    Hi Michael, Thanks for your feedback which we appreciate. Glad you enjoyed your stay at Coln and appreciated it's location in relation to other places to visit. We think the cottage's situation on the edge of Stow Square in the quiet little courtyard gives you the best of both worlds with the restaurants and pubs on your doorstep but some peace and quiet at the end of the day.

The property

Situated in the heart of the ancient market town of Stow-on-the-Wold rests this charming stone-built holiday home, Coln Cottage.

Idyllically positioned within the rural countryside of the Cotswolds, Coln Cottage offers an intimate setting for a romantic getaway for two.

Park up in the designated space across the courtyard, before unloading your belongings and stepping over the threshold and into your home-from-home for the duration of your trip.

Marvel at the traditional character of the open-plan living space, beautifully-appointed with rustic exposed stonework, antique wooden beams and a warming flame-effect fire, offering a lovely spot to kick off your shoes and unwind with a cup of tea in front of the television following a day full of adventure.

Be charmed by the fully-equipped kitchen tucked away against the back wall at the rear of the sociable space, home to an array of modern amenities to assist with your self-catering needs, including a handy washer/dryer to freshen up your holiday attire; make use of the facilities provided to rustle up a romantic meal for two and gather together at the dining table to indulge in the fruits of your labour.

As the evening draws to a close, climb the stairs to the first-floor where you'll find a sumptuous double bedroom, idyllically nestled under the intimate setting of the sloped ceiling, providing a peaceful spot to rest your eyes ahead of a new day.

In the morning, pour in the bubbles and indulge in a leisurely soak in the bath, or make use of the overhead shower to kick-start your day with an invigorating rinse.

Enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine in the seating area outside at the front of the property.

Take in the pretty flowers in the planters beside you, or the gentle goings on in the courtyard surrounding.

A short walk from your doorstep will bring you to a fantastic array of local amenities; indulge in a bite to eat in a rustic setting with a visit to The Stag at Stow, add a touch of luxury to your stay with a spot of cream tea at The Old Bakery Tea Room, or pick up some award-winning locally sourced produce from the butchers to prepare from the comfort of your holiday home.

Keep entertained with a visit to the nearby village of Burton-on-the-Water where you can discover a miniature replica of the Cotswold-stone village at The Model Village, lose yourself amongst the hedges at The Dragonfly Maze or meet over 500 species of birds with a visit to Birdland Park & Gardens; a lovely spot to enjoy a picnic surrounded by wildlife and woodland.

Get better acquainted with your surroundings and embark on an adventure through the scenic landscape of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasting over 5000km of walking and cycling trails, passing through honey-stone villages and rolling countryside; take a leisurely stroll through the mature gardens at Batsford Arboretum or marvel at the captivating architecture of England's only surviving 17th-century grandstand with a visit to the National Trust's Lodge Park and Sherborne Park Estate.

Television buffs will be delighted with a visit to Chadlington, the backdrop of popular agricultural documentary, Clarkson's Farm, where you can pick up some 'Cow Juice' or freshly harvested potatoes from Diddly Squat Farm Shop, and if you time it right, you might even catch sight of the cast working in the surrounding fields!

About the location

STOW-ON-THE-WOLD

Bourton-on-the-Water 4 miles; Stratford upon Avon 15 miles.

The highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises olde worlde England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly Farmers' market. The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, this is a traditional fair for people to meet up and trade which dates back to 1476 when its Charter was granted; Stow is very busy for a day or two before and after each fair, and a number of shops, pubs and restaurants are closed. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antique shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of Stow, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close to the town. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' as the River Windrush runs through the centre, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of the most popular Cotswold villages. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are all within easy reach and make a great day out. Cheltenham (20 miles away) is, architecturally, the most complete regency town in England. A spa town with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse-racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. At other times of year, it is host to literature, jazz, classical music, science and food and drink festivals. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called 'The City of Dreaming Spires’ has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens. Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within easy reach, making Stow-on-the-Wold an ideal base.
