A nice welcome

"A lovely, cosy and comfortable cottage very nicely decorated and well equipped."
The location of the cottage is just a short walk into the heart of Stow where there are plenty of places to eat and drink.
-
"Perfect location within easy reach of town centre and local pubs/restaurants via the ture's."
A lovely traditional and cosy cottage with excellent modern facilities, which I would highly recommend. The parking arrangement with the nearby Church (provided by the owners free of charge) is essential as the adjacent road does get busy at times with limited on-street parking. A lovely relaxing holiday in a good central location.

"Wonderful property and owners were so accommodating!"
Family of four with teens. Perfect place and all of the details of decor to the cottage are done so well! Would 100% stay again!
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Spinners Cottage. We are so pleased you had a lovely stay and we would love to welcome you again for another stay with us soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Absolutely beautiful cottage decorated to a very high standard and has pretty much everything you could possibly need inside, apart from a microwave which would have been useful."
Great location for exploring the local area. I have to mention that the beds were the comfiest i gave ever slept in, the mattresses were so comfy! The only downside for us as dog owners was the fact that the courtyard garden had to be accessed by the cottages next door and the gate was often left open which meant our dog could have got out onto main road. But apart from that everything was perfect!
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Spinners Cottage. We are so pleased you enjoyed the property and Stow. We hope you managed to enjoy some of the lovely places to eat at in Stow and we would love to welcome you again for another stay. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"A lovely property, perfectly located with everything you need."
The parking arrangement was good as parking is at a premium in the area. So much to see just a short drive away making it the perfect place to stay.

"Lovely cottage, very well appointed and in a brilliant position for amenities in Stow."
The only downside was that we booked to stay the same week as the horse fair so all the pubs and most of the shops were closed for the duration of our stay. Really think this should have been made explicit with this property and any others you have listed for Stow for the affected weeks in May and October
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Spinners Cottage. We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and I’m sorry if you didn’t see the notes on the property listing. We do mention on our Website that the Stow Fair in on during these dates, but we will have another look at the listing, to see if we can make it more prominent for future guests. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"I recently had the pleasure of staying in this charming cottage in Stow, and it was an absolute delight."
Its cozy ambiance, making it a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's impeccably clean and well-presented, which made for a comfortable stay. The upgraded kitchen appliances were a highlight, adding a touch of modern convenience to our rustic getaway.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Spinners Cottage. We are so pleased to hear that you loved the cottage.

"A lovely cottage."
It was a very comfortable stay. Everything worked (which isn't always a given) and everything was of high quality. The location was great, quiet enough away from the main roads, but only a couple of minutes from the middle of Stow.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Spinners Cottage. It's lovely to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and we hope you made the most of the lovely Restaurants in Stow. One of our favourites is the Sheep in Stow. We would love to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"We absolutely loved the cottage and the wine and biscuits on arrival were a lovely touch, thank you."
It was the perfect location, spotlessly clean and all the furnishings etc were of a really high quality. It was my dads 83rd birthday whilst we were there and it was perfect. It was really warm and cosy after coming in from a really cold day of walking. Would definitely come back for our next trip to the Cotswolds.
Thank you for your feedback, it's lovely to hear you celebrated a birthday while at the house. It sounds like you had a wonderful time. We would love to welcome you all back again very soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"A truly lovely "show home" cottage."
We felt as though we were the first people to stay at Spinners, it was so clean, beautifully furnished and decorated. A very comfortable bed with ensuite facilities added to our perfect week in the Cotswolds. If only all holiday cottages were to this standard, very well done.
Thank you for this lovely review which is much appreciated. We're delighted you loved the cottage and found it so comfortable and to such a high standard. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Spinners Cottage is comfortable, stylish and designed to maximise the space, while keeping the unique character."
It is spotlessly clean, well equipped and has a thoughtful layout, allowing visitors to feel at home(from home!). In short, we loved it and hope to visit again. Many thanks

"Could not have hoped for a more perfect cottage to stay in."
It’s beautiful, comfortable, clean and great location. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comments. We hope we can welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
-
"A lovely cottage, much improved by the owners."
The improvements they have made look very smart against this traditional cottage. Great to have a good size welcome lobby to kick off your shoes and hang up your coats. Very cosy living room and practical kitchen with high tech appliances that are easy to use. Steep stairs but comfortable bedroom with an en-suite and the main bathroom. We had a lovely time relaxing here after days spent exploring the Cotswolds. Parking nearby very useful as well. Do take care when stepping out onto the road from the gated front garden as some drivers do tend to ignore this is a small residential street and drive too fast.
-
"Beautifully appointed cottage in a great situation."
Lovely touches that we appreciated. Comfy beds/pillows, kitchen well equipped. Would stay again - we all had a great time.
We're so pleased that you had a lovely time at the wonderful Spinners Cottages and would love to welcome yo back again. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

"This was such a lovely cottage, clearly a lot of time and attention has been put into creating a beautiful space."
It's so comfortable, but doesn't feel overly "modernized", remaining true to its historic feel. It was an absolute delight to stay here and I was very sad to leave!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback, we're pleased that you enjoyed all that Spinners Cottage has to offer and would love to welcome you back. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

"A fabulous maintained cottage in a great location."
Premium quality fittings and furnishings including all kitchenware. The only thing that would help would be some additional bedroom storage . Overall a fantastic cosy holiday cottage . Thank you
Thank you for you feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your break at Spinners Cottage. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

"The cottage was very newly decorated and very clean, warm and well equipped."
We had a comfortable, enjoyable week in spite of the very cold weather. Would recommend it Only points - I assumed from the listing with off road parking that the parking was on the property and was surprised to see it was at the church hall and not available at certain times. The TV and cooker were top of the range but we had great difficulty using them just couldn't get some channels on the TV. Maybe need an idiot guide for the technically challenged
Thank you for your comments. We are pleased that you were comfortable and warm. The owner makes special arrangements to provide a parking space for the property, details of which are sent out prior to your stay. We will pass on your feedback regarding instructions. We hope you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

"What a fabulous little cottage."

"Excellent property located for easy walking access to Stow on the Wold."
The town has many excellent pubs and restaurants with most being dog friendly. Stow on the Wold is an excellent location from which to explore the Cotswolds.
Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at Spinners Cottage. It's lovely to hear you and your furry friend enjoyed your stay and from the sounds of it explored a lot of the Cotswolds. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards Character Cottages Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location."
Equipped with everything you need for a short break. Loved the Sam Wilson diffuser smell so had to pop and buy one from the shop in the square. We especially enjoyed the quality of everything in the cottage. It's touches like these that really make a holiday so much more pleasant. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and we're clean freaks so this was such a bonus. We'll definitely look to book again in the future.
Thank you so much for providing us with such lovely feedback on your stay at Spinners Cottage. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we cannot wait to welcome you again in the future. All the best, Character Cottages. Property Owner

"The cottage was really lovely and the location is fantastic."
One of the reasons I booked was because I had seen a lot of comments about how clean the cottage was. The towels and bedding were lovely and clean however some of the surface areas I didn’t think were very clean. The kettle was absolutely full of limescale, really badly in fact so we had to boil pans of water if we wanted a hot drink. The television only worked if you were using Netflix or one of the apps, normal television did not work. The double was was extremely uncomfortable, there seemed to be an issue with the mattress in that there was a bump in the middle of it, so good nights sleep didn’t happen. We were left a bottle of wine and biscuits which was a really lovely touch, so thank you so much for that.
Thank you Emily for the feedback and I enjoyed chatting it through with you as its really important to us that everyone who visits the cottage has a lovely time. We hadn't realised there was a problem with the kettle and this has now been replaced so thank you for bringing it to our attention. As mentioned, both mattresses are actually brand new Vi Spring mattresses and cost £2,500. I will check them over for any bumps / faults and if so they will certainly be replaced. The TV is a new Samsung Smart TV and you're correct that the signals in Stow can be patchy, so I just wanted to make sure there was an internet option as well for everyone. Apologies though as I hadn't left out the instruction manual, but it's there now. I have also shared your comments with our housekeepers re some of the surface areas for as you say they have very high standards and pride in their work . Thank you again Emily for taking the time to provide your feedback and to chat, and so pleased you are looking to come back to the cottage again. Property Owner

"Your General Feedback Would you like to provide feedback about the holiday property?"
This will be shared with the property owner. Beautifully appointed and recent updates have obviously been done with a lot of thought to presentation and style (updated photos on the site would be helpful!) by the owners. Great location in heart of Stow with easy walk to shops, pubs and restaurants and all key sites in the Cotswolds within 30 mins drive. Use of church car park good addition as road outside the cottage busy during working hours. Cottage was immaculately clean, piping hot water at all times (we were there in a heatwave so can’t vouch for the heating!) good provision of basics and the wine and shortbread a nice welcoming touch. So, what’s the catch?? This is a typical Cotswolds cottage and the major drawback is that the cottage is absolutely tiny with room sizes and ceiling heights to match. My husband and I stayed for a week so the lack of decent wardrobe space or drawers was a problem. As a result would recommend 3 adults max. and only a couple if you want to spend your break in some comfort. The staircase was borderline dangerous (steep and slippy) and this should have been highlighted on the listing to help those with mobility issues. Couple of maintenance requirements - missing bottle shelf in fridge, shower head in en suite needs descaling/replacing and outdoor furniture needs to be cleaned to same standard as inside. I feel sad writing all that but the lack of comfort did take the edge off a lovely week’s stay.

-
"Cottage was cosy and comfortable."
Few light bulbs out in places and couldn't see a spare. Heating was on constantly, assume this is because its an old cottage. Had a wonderful time and the snow was a bonus!
-
"Delightful stay in a cosy and well equipped cottage."
-
"Lovely Cute Cottage, Great Central Location!"

-
"This cottage was such a wonderful place to stay in Stow-on-the-Wold."

"Well appointed, comfortable & simply a cosy cottage!"
It was everything I hoped it would be! I have told my friends about renting it or something similar with Character Cottages. Should I come to England again, I would definitely rent from Character Cottages!

"This is a beautiful little cottage that was absolutely perfect for our group: two couples and a baby."

"Lovely Cottage, great position in the heart of Stow on the wold, very clean and well presented, communication was good, would throughly recommend and stay again."
-
"Really nice place."
-
"From the photos we made assumptions about the quality of the premises and we were not disappointed."
On the contrary, we found the accommodation to have surpassed our expectations. The provision of parking at the church was a Godsend in such a popular village. Stow proved to be the ideal centre for touring the North Cotswolds and for visiting family nearby. A successful vacation in every way and the cake was, well, the icing on the proverbial. Thank you.

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 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.
