"This is the second year running that we have stayed at Stow Cottage."
It has everything that you need, it’s warm, cosy and extremely comfortable, plus it is in the centre of Stow. We love it there and shall definitely be booking again for next year.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Stow Cottage. We shall look forward to welcoming you back again for the third time. Best Wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"The cottage is lovely on the outside and beautiful inside."
Very clean and so many extras included that you wouldn't noramally think about in the kitchen. The milk & biscuits was a lovely thought for our arrival and even tissues. Weve stayed in several properties that have not had this amount of detail. Very spacious & cosy, it really did feel like home. Lots of information in the folder of places to eat etc. Sadly the Jade chinese was not great but the fish & chips were delicious. We would highly recommend this immaculate cottage.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Stow Cottage. It sounds like you had a lovely stay at the property and made the most of the area you stayed in. Thank you for the recommendations on take-away's in the area, this is always very helpful for future guests. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"The biggest bonus was a downstairs toilet which was not listed as a amenity on the website but very welcome."
The cottage is perfect, the only thing missing was a clock which would have saved checking my phone. I would certainly hope to visit this cottage again, really loved the courtyard garden. Thankyou.

"Fantastic location for Stow, the property has all you need utensil-wise in the kitchen,very comfortable beds but sadly is beginning to look rather tired (decor)."
The patio is getting over-grown with weeds. The wi-fi works but is temperamental. Would be helpful to have instruction manuals for TV, washing machine in the Welcoming Book. Check out is 10 but the cleaner turned up at 9.30, we just kept out the way but felt a bit awkward. If the above was sorted we would certainly recommend it as it is a lovely cottage in a great location.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. The owner is planning in redecoration and gardening in the near future. Instruction manuals for the appliances are stored in a drawer. Apologies for the confusion with the housekeeper, she was waiting outside until 10.00, but was invited in to make a start. We are delighted that you enjoyed the location in Stow. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Its very hard to find better."
The cottage is well appointed, comfortable and spacious that provides the perfect base to tour the cotswolds. You have to be picky to find fault with fixtures and fittings- and location is good to walk around Stow. We have stayed in half a dozen similar sized places in the vicinity but this one stands out.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Stow Cottage. It's lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and we would love to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Really convenient location ."
Enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for 5. All the facilities you might need. Would have been useful to have some instructions for the cooker but we muddled through.
Thank you for this feedback which is much appreciated. We're glad you had a lovely stay and loved the convenient location. Thank you for bringing an issue to our attention regarding the cooker which will be passed on to the owner. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"We have been coming to stay in Stow for several years running, and tend to try different accommodation each time."
Not any more though, this cottage was perfect, we really couldn’t fault anything about it. Perfect location, and so comfortable. We shall definitely be back next year.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Stow Cottage. It's lovely to hear you liked the cottage so much, that you want to make it stay number 2 next year. We would love to welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"I do think the main bathroom needs a proper shower."
As an adult it was not easy to use. Also the racket from the social club until 1am on the Saturday night was not good. However the property was lovely, clean & comfortable. I have stayed in another cottage in Stow-on-the-Wold on previous visits but would now happily return to this one.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your stay. We represent our properties as accurately as possible online. If you had any queries or concerns regarding the shower, please know that we are available to assist you. We hope that the noise from the social club did not leave a lasting impact on your stay and that we can welcome you again one day in the future. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Very clean."
There was too much in the kitchen cupboards no empty cupboards to store item when staying. The kitchen sink plug had string tied to it not very hygienic. The en suite door would not shut. Too many place of interest leaflets some out of date. We didn’t let any of this spoil the enjoyment of our stay and would stay again.

The location is very near to the centre of Stow-on-the-wold.

"Lovely comfortable and clean cottage and great base for local attractions."
The garden area needs a bit of a tidy up but aside from that it was great
-
"A very clean and comfortable cottage (particularly the beds!"
) very convenient for the town centre. Katrin was very helpful when we had a problem with the tv and got it working again. Very satisfied all round. Slight con - the biscuits were delicious but a small bottle of milk would have been welcome as we could then have had a cup of tea without having to find a shop first.
I’m so sorry, the housekeeper usually puts a pint of milk in the fridge Property Owner

"A very pretty cottage with everything you need for a comfortable home from home vacation."
It was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and in an ideal location very near to the town centre. Stow is a lovely old town with lots of interesting independent shops, galleries and places to eat. We were able to access some really nice walks from the cottage. Would definitely return there.
Thank you for the excellent feedback. It sounds like you had a great holiday, and we'd love to welcome you back. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Due to the Government warnings for the over 70's regarding travel and social ..."
Due to the Government warnings for the over 70's regarding travel and social contact we had to cancel the whole Cottage holiday at very short notice We do not expect a full refund but would appreciate a combined offer from Manor Cottages and the Cottage owner We look forward to a time when normality returns and we can once again enjoy a cottage holiday with manor Cottages
Thank you very much for your comments we are so pleased to see that you have managed to rebook your stay at Stowe cottage for dates in 2021 Property Owner

"Shower was totally inadequate for main shower-4 people having to share the smallest shower I have ever seen."
It also leaked onto floor-something other guests commented on last summer but nothing been done. Bedding was appalling-flattest pillows which were not fit for purpose.The duvets were poor quality and very tired and well worn with the stuffing broken down. You talk about ‘COVID safe & clean’ but this bedding hasn’t been replaced for years & years and definitely not since reopened after COVID and is quite simply not acceptable for a rental cottage.
-
"Very cosy, good sized rooms and great location."
Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you had a lovely stay and would love to welcome you back to Stow Cottage any time in the future. Thank you once again for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in brilliant location."
We contacted Cat over a problem with the oven. With it being 2 days before Christmas, we didn't expect a brand new oven within the next 2 hours. Cat went above and beyond to sort it out. Welcome tray with cake and a real effort with Christmas decorations. Parking is real bonus. Can't fault it, would highly recommend.
We are very happy to hear that you had an enjoyable holiday at Stow Cottage over Christmas. Thank you for this lovely feedback, we hope you decide to holiday in the Cotswolds with us in the future. Property Owner

"An oven glove would have been very useful plus more than 1 tea towel."
Otherwise kitchen very well equipped.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and will pass your feedback onto the owner for full consideration. We hope to welcome you back to the property soon. Property Owner

"See COR-228652-CF Some kitchen items had not been washed ie dirty fat in bottom of roasting tin, dried peas stuck on side of saucepan Only winter duvets available on beds - this was during a 30 C heatwave !"

Nice house the only thing is the bush in front garden when we have 4 in the car we have to stop to let everyone out apart from that would go again
Thank you for your comments regarding the bush, we will pass it on to the owner. Manor Cottages Property Owner

"A well equipped homely cottage that more than met our needs."
The location is great for walking into Stow and an excellent base for visiting the best parts of the Cotswolds.
We are pleased to hear Stow Cottage more than met your needs! Property Owner

"A lovely stay in a very comfortable and clean cottage."
It had all the facilities and equipment we needed and was in a great location, just a five minute walk from the high street. Has space for one car on the drive but there are a few visitor parking spaces too. Would definitely stay again!
We would love to welcome you back in the future! Property Owner

"Stow Cottage was absolutely lovely, the perfect base to visit all areas of the Cotswolds."
The cottage was exactly as described and all amenities provided for. The bottle of wine and biscuits on arrival were a lovely touch. The only issues we had during our stay was the fact that there was no welcome pack in the property so we had no idea of where to put all the various bins on collection day plus we had to sort out the previous occupants rubbish as they had put many items in the wrong bags. I contacted the owner who provided the necessary information. In every cottage we have stayed in previously there has always been a welcome folder for things like Wi-fi passwords etc. Luckily as computer engineers we knew where to look for this sort of thing. I also had to advise the owner that the dishwasher didn’t open without the kick board coming off, I found this out when it landed on my big toe! Again we have had advised the owner who was unaware of this problem. We would definitely use this cottage again and hope to be back in a couple of years.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback on Stow Cottage. Due to Covid 19 owners were advised to remove certain items such as welcome folders from the properties, we apologise for the inconvenience this caused you. Thank you for contacting the owner during your stay so they were able to provide you with the information you required. We hope you return to the cottage in the future. Manor Cottages Property Owner

"A wonderful cottage, located in walking distance of all the amenities of Stow village."
Equipped with all kitchen utensils you could possibly require Highly recommend.
-
"Great location with the benefit of off-road parking, very well equipped accommodation."
Only slightly frustrating elements were having to put the rubbish out for recycling for the previous occupants as well as our own at the end of our stay. Also a number of switches had black tape over them which obviously shouldn’t be used, but more of why. This is especially on a 3 way switch, were there electrical issues in the property ? There were no notifications to determine this.
Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry you had to deal with the rubbish. The black tape is on the switches as they need to remain on at all times as they are outside lights or the extractor fan. There is no problem with the electrics at all. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back to Stow Cottage Property Owner

"Our family had a wonderful Christmas at Stow Cottage."
The cottage was perfect for our family of 4 with 2 very young boys. The location is amazing - literally a few moments away from all of the pubs, cafes, restaurants as well as access to country walks. We have booked again for Christmas 2020!
We are glad you had a wonderful family Christmas and we look forward to welcoming again this Christmas! Manor Cottages Property Owner

"The cottage was really comfortable, clean and cosy."
It was a pleasure to come back to it after a long tiring walk. It was perfectly placed for everything. Within a Two minute walk we had cafes, pubs, shops and restaurants. Perfect stay we loved it.
-
"Lovely cottage, good parking and close to the town centre."
Stow on the Wold is a beautiful town with excellent pubs, cafes and shops and makes a good base for exploring the Cotswolds.
-
"Lovely property in a convenient location for short walk into town."
Beautiful views over fields at the back. Well equipped kitchen.
-
"The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and in an ideal location being quietly situated, but only a few minutes walk from the centre of Stow."
The town is well served with pubs and other eating places, together with a good range of shops, including a Tesco store on the outskirts. It is an ideal base for visiting many of the attractions in the area.
-
"The accommodation was of a high standard,very well stocked& very generous in what was provided."
The cottage is very close to Stow,and very central for visiting The Cotswolds.We spent a very enjoyable week& would recommend it to friends&family. Compliments to the owner,Thanks.

-
"Beautiful cottage, perfect location a 5 minute walk from lovely shops, tea rooms and restaurants."
Thank you for a wonderful stay!
-
"Lovely cottage idealy located only a 2 min walk to the shops."
The property on the whole was in good order through out, just a couple of small items need some attention, the taps in the on suite shower room need new washers and the hand shower in main bathroom was leaking also the taps were so hot after running a bath we had to put a towel around it to turn it off. There are signs up stating that the water is very hot but i would have thought the boiler temp could be turned down. Just one last thing all the window hinges need a good spray of WD40 as they are hard to open and close. These negative things are only a a couple of hours job but if nobody tells the owner nothing gets done, but saying all of that it was a very quiet area and a lovely cottage and would go there again.
-
"Good base for touring the area"
-
"The house is very well-appointed and in a quiet location; access information for spot on."
The quietness may soon be compromised as the allotments which were behind the house, are no fenced off for building. Parking is tight unless you have a small car. The dishwasher hadn't been emptied, nor had the recycling bins in the kitchen. This was at odds with everything else. Dishwasher tablets were listed but nor there. It is in a very good location for visits to most places in the Cotswolds and regardless of weather, there is plenty to do.
-
"Pretty much everything you would need was provided."
A great property for easy access in to Stow to sample the numerous eating places and great tea shops.
-
"Although we found the Cottage fairly easily from the instructions, the reference to The British Legion was confusing at first as it is signed as The Stow Social Club, not per your instructions."
-
"The cottage is lovely and well situated."
Having stayed in the cottage previously, the new furniture etc. downstairs is an improvement as is the new smart TV. It was well decorated for the festive season with a beautiful Christmas tree. We had a relaxing time at the cottage. Some small improvements could be made such as replacing the shower head in the en suite, providing larger bath towels and having better quality bed linen but overall it’s a lovely place to stay.

"Lovely cottage - well proportioned for a small group Not ideal if you plan to ..."
Lovely cottage - well proportioned for a small group Not ideal if you plan to do a lot of cooking as very little "prep" space - but so easy to get in and out of Stow Perfect having two bathrooms and a downstairs loo - for two couples who just plan to chill, explore and dine out
-
"The cottage was lovely, clean, had everything you could want and very well appointed to walk into Stow on the Wold, it literally is only 3 minutes walk and Stow is beautiful with some lovely quaint shops, and some lovely cafés."
The cottage is located in such a quiet place, you wouldnÂ’t think you were just off the main street. It really is worth the money, and I would recommend this particular cottage to anyone.

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.
