"Lovely property, well situated."

"Cottage and location is amazing."
Had all the facilities and space and comfort for a lovely stay. We all loved it. Only feedback is that the cottage could get very cold and the thermostat was set very low so although the handover info asked not to touch the thermostat we had to turn it up to warm up the cottage as we had two older guests who felt the cold. Otherwise everything was perfect, so peaceful and welcoming.
I did notice when going in that it felt cold Heating is on a timer to come on twice a day, somehow no heating was working at all. I had to reset, I did noticed the Bedroom window was left open so cold air going into the property overnight., In colder months Heating is on constant. Jennifer Bell Garden Property Owner

"This is the second time we have stayed at this property- it is in an excellent position, close to the village, lots of wonderful cafes and super places to eat."
The accommodation is superb, it’s very clean and the kitchen has all the equipment anyone could wish for . if the weather is suitable there is lots of lovely seating outside the front and back of the house. The living room has lovely comfortable sofas. The only recommendation would be to buy new pillows as most of them are quite flat and worn and the bed in the annex part of the house needs replacing, I think it must have had some wear and is now not comfortable. Apart from that it is an excellent accommodation in a beautiful part of the world.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your stay and we hope to managed to visit some of the many wonderful places to visit in and around the Cotswolds. We will pass on your comments to the Owner regarding the pillows. We would love to welcome you again soon for another stay. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Wonderful in everything."
It would be good if all the paths and driveways were brushed and power washed. Because of the wet weather they were pretty slippery at times. A bit dangerous for children who only run and don’t walk!!!!!

"An Icelandic family of eight enjoyed a wonderful stay in Bell Garden for 7 nights."
The house is beautiful and the garden is well kept. Rooms have plenty of space and the living room has a large dining table and is stocked with board games and magazines. We cooked lovely dinners in the kitchen which is modern, with a large refrigerator, a freezer and a gas stove. The outside grill was so well cleaned it was as if new. The Bell pub is just across the driveway and the main street is lined with shops and restaurants. We made so many great memories in the Bell Garden and highly recommend staying there!
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback which is much appreciated. We're delighted you and your family had such a wonderful stay and managed to make use of all the facilities. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"The cottage was great the location couldn’t have been any better it was ..."
The cottage was great the location couldn’t have been any better it was central to everywhere easy to get to and loads of parking as we had four cars and very private we had good weather but not good enough to sit outside which was a shame as there were loads of chairs and a bbq to use
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Bell Garden. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at the house, i hope you managed to enjoy some lovely meals in Stow and the walks from your door. We would love to welcome you back again soon.

"Lovely cottage let down by a few things."
Log stove wouldn’t draw, very disappointing & others seem to have had same problem. Kitchen pans very battered. No instruction booklets or leaving info. Downstairs en-suite, top light has no switch? How to turn on? In 2 showers, mixer tap wouldn’t operate handheld shower head. A small milk jug would be useful.
Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Bell Garden. I'm sorry to hear you had a few issues during your stay, did you get in touch with the Owner to address these while you stayed?. I have passed on your comments to the Owner so she can look into this for you. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Well appointed, very clean and well equipped."

"We had a lovely time at Bell Cottage, the photos don't do the property justice."
It's far nicer when you're there. The location was perfect for us, the facilities at the property were excellent. There were 8 of us staying at Bell Cottage so it was quite busy in the morning with all of us getting ready. I had a shower at 9am and there was no hot water which wasn't great. Check in at 4pm doesn't leave a lot of the day to enjoy the property but we made ourselves busy in the town, however we all felt that a 10am check out is a bit mean, it means you can't end your break in a relaxed way. 8 of us seated at a table for breakfast and having to get showered and packed and out for 10am is a rush . We can't fault the property but feel that the check out should be midday to allow a stress free end to an enjoyable break. Kind regards Mr L Ashby
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Bell Garden. It's lovely to hear you enjoyed your gathering at the cottage. We will pass on your feedback to the Owner for review, but the reason for the check-in/out times is because our Housekeepers have to fit in more than one holiday cottage in per day and to enable us to reach high standards we don't rush them. We hope you still had a lovely holiday with us and we would love to welcome you back again. Kind regards Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Lovely house that accommodated 7 of us easily."
Having a large oven over Christmas was superb! Great location being a few minute stroll from the centre of town. We all had a lovely time and thoroughly loved Stow - we will be back!

"We absolutely love Bell Garden, now being the second time we have stayed with ..."
We absolutely love Bell Garden, now being the second time we have stayed with friends and family Gorgeous house and beautifully decorated throughout with all the amenities you need Within a very easy walking distance to the lovely town, shops and restaurants in Stow on the Wold
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your second stay. We hope that we can welcome you back again for a third time. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"We loved the property and it was perfect for our needs."
The following are simply things that you might wish to consider in order to make future guests even more comfortable: - the Internet in back bedroom (the one that has been converted from the garage) is non existent. Difficult as a visitor from overseas - I churned through my roaming data. Maybe consider a booster? By the way, I did not find this room cold at all, as some previous reviews have mentioned. - we needed to leave a day early for family reasons and therefore received the departure instructions after we left. We looked everywhere in the house for them, as I like to leave properties exactly as the owner wishes, but there was very little information. As a result we were not able to strip the beds as requested. Perhaps consider leaving departure info in the house or providing it on arrival. - I couldn’t get the wood burner to draw (and I live in a house where my only heating is a wood burner, so I’m pretty experienced!). It smokes badly when you open the door. I wonder if the chimney could do with a clean? Either way, some instructions would be useful - there are a lot of vents and, even with my experience, it was complicated.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Bell Garden. It's lovely to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us and thank you for your feedback, we will pass on your comments to the Owner for review. We hope to welcome you back again very soon.

"Lovely cottage, we were a multi generation group and it worked really nicely for us and the location was great too."
-
"Stunning property."
Excellent location to explore Cotswolds. Convenient for local shops and restaurants. Owners went beyond expectations to ensure we enjoyed our break.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It's fantastic to hear that you enjoyed your time at the beautiful Bell Garden and took full advantage of the surrounding area. We hope to welcome you again one day soon. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Our second stay at Bell Garden."
Perfect for three generations, we had a lovely holiday. Plenty of room in the house, lots of parking and a few minutes walk to the centre of Stow-on-the Wold. There were a few minor maintenance issues which we did report.
-
"The house was amazing- it was furnished to a high standard and had all the equipment that anyone could wish for."
The house was so clean and welcoming, the flowers, milk and Prosecco were very much appreciated- thank you! It is in ideal location to explore villages in the Cotswolds and it is only a 5 minute walk into Stow on the Wold where we had wonderful food in 'The Porch House' and 'The Sheep' We would highly recommend this house, we have been back home 3 days have already booked the house for next year! We had a slight problem with hot water but Sykes Company and the owner were so efficient and the owner came on the same morning has the problem was reported and all was resolved. There is a little problem with the shower taps, as soon as your hands are wet no one in the family could turn the taps off or on in any of the showers, they are so slippery, without getting the aid of a towel.
-
"Really enjoyed our stay at Bell Garden, Stow on the Wold is an excellent location for seeing the main towns of the Cotsworld."
.. highly recommend a trip Broadway, Bourton on the water (first thing before the coaches arrive), plus a trip to Daylesford Organic is a must!!!! Plenty of places for dinner in S-o-t-W, all within walking distance of the house. I would ask the owners to get a bowl for the kitchen sink, as it would make washing up a lot easier and us less water!!!
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your suggestions. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

"We have just returned from a lovely family week here with our grown up children."
Excellent location, great for local walks direct from the property, 50m from the Bell pub itself, and only 100m from other pubs, restaurants and the busy centre of Stow. Two of our children arrived by train which was easy as Moreton in Marsh station is just 15mins away with a regular service from London. The house itself was very comfortable and well equipped, clean with good showers and plumbing throughout. There was a comfortable lounge / dining space for 8 adults. The back patio had a good quality gas BBQ and seating, but was close to a busy road so quite noisy at times with traffic. The house was well sound-proofed, however, so inside the property was fine. The bedrooms all had comfortable beds. The properly was enclosed and gated, which was great for our dog (although he did manage to escape through the hedge once… ), but certainly very safe for children. We had a great stay and would love to return.
We are pleased you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the location, close to the centre of the popular town of Stow. Best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

"Had a lovely stay, cottage was lovey."
If I could provide some positive feedback it would be to add a bowl for the kitchen sink, some antibacterial spray and some jig for the sink? Thank you, we would love to come back and stay.
Thank you for your review and we're so glad you loved the cottage. Thank you also for bringing to our attention some recommendations which we will of course note. Best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

"We had a lovely week at Bell Garden."
Felt homely and comfortable. Lots of room in the house. Garden was good for the children. A couple of items. The windows were extremely dirty, both inside and out. They obviously hadn’t had a clean for a long time. Windows with secondary double glazing were particularly dirty. Lots of bird muck around the garden which would have benefited from a good sweep. Two sun beds for use in the garden were broken.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback and we're glad you enjoyed a lovely week at the Bell Garden. We're sorry if the cleanliness of the windows was not up to our usual high standards. Your comments and those concerning the garden have been passed on to the Property Manager. Best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

"The house is situated in a delightful setting in Stow, very easily accessible by car and perfectly situated for getting around to explore the town, shops and pubs on foot."
The house is well presented and we stayed over the festive period and I was worried about cooking Christmas dinner for the whole family with limited kitchen accessories and equipment but this was not the case at all, there were many pots, pans and baking equipment it was easier here than at home! One let down of the house is the dining arrangement, the chairs are oversized and seat 6 adults snuggly, we had a family member visit for the day and although it’s an eight sleeper house getting 8 chairs around the table in the space in the house would be rather uncomfortable. All the bedrooms has plenty of storage and were comfortable to sleep in but watch your head in the eaves of the two upstairs rooms! The second bedroom downstairs which feels like a garage conversion was always cold even with the radiator turned up. Again the bathrooms were a good size with good towels and the showers were nice with lots of hot water. Remember to bring your own toilet roll though as we were left with four rolls for 6 adults for a week. One minor tweak is that the larger downstairs shower could have a rail added to make is more accessible for those with mobility issues, one of our guests struggles with mobility and felt uncomfortable using the shower without a rail. The house was generally well presented and clean, however when we arrived the cleaning team were still working hard but a few areas could have been swept better, there were some sweets under the sofa and confetti left in the dining chairs but these were small things. We did thoroughly enjoy our stay and would recommend this house and the pub across the road!
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your Christmas break at Bell Garden and we appreciate your comments/suggestions. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

"We stayed here for our sons wedding."
The house was very spacious and exactly as described. The location was excellent, especially having The Bell pub just over the road! The Sunday lunch there was excellent. The property is ideally situated for walking around the lovely village of Stow. It’s well equipped and is a great place to return to at the end of a busy day. This property is a genuine find and somewhere we would definitely want to return to. Thank you to the owners for making our stay so enjoyable.
What a lovely review, thank you for taking the time to leave a response, it is much appreciated. The area is such a lovely base from which to explore the surrounding town and villages. We hope to welcome you again in the not too distant future. With best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

"Bell Garden was perfect for our stay for our daughters wedding locally, easily accommodating 4 adults and 2 children in great comfort with modern fittings and decor."

"Hi, we did come and see your office as we were leaving on Monday."
We had a fantastic stay in a beautiful house but there were a few issues. The downstairs toilet had no hot water, in general the house was cold even when the heating was on it was chilly and 2 bathrooms had no heat from the radiators but the kitchen accessories was the most disappointing. 4 champagne flutes for a house that sleeps 8!!. We eat in when we visit and there is a lack of equipment, no serving platters, dishes for veg, serving spoons etc. we put nibbles out and then had to wash bowls before we could eat dessert. We took photos of the baking sheets that had the top layer of Teflon literally flaking off, the frying pans have lost their non stick surface. The kitchen accessories desperately need changing and upgrading, we went out and bought 2 platters for ourselves which we felt was poor for a house of this standard and price range. Feedback from yourselves as to whether anything will be upgraded would be appreciated as we would dearly love to return next year.
Thank you for providing us with your feedback. It's great to hear that you overall enjoyed your stay, and we would be delighted to welcome you back to the property any time in the future. We can only apologise for the issues you encountered during your stay and appreciate your suggestions for improvement. Following your feedback, the owner has informed us of the following; Frying pans and baking sheets will be replaced, the heating is going to be looked at and there will now be 8 champagne flutes in the property. We would like to apologise once more for these issues, and hope to welcome you back to Bell Garden in the future. Property Owner

"Lovely property and great location with good facilities but we felt it could have done with a spring clean as cobwebs were visible throughout the property and the coffee maker had mould in the filter."

The owner of this property has very high standards, so I'm confident this will be addressed. We hope you enjoyed yourselves and we would love to welcome you again soon. Property Owner

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.
