It was absolutely perfect! Quaint, comfortable cottage right in the village. Traveling with two friends, each of us had our own bedroom & bathroom. Loved shopping in town, baked goods at Otis and Belle are a must.

Great stay in a lovely Cotswold town
Property was clean, warm (it was very cold outside!) and well thought out. Everything we needed was there with a cosy atmosphere, whilst being plenty big enough for 6 and a small dog. Location is great for exploring Stow. Recommended.

Family weekend away
We celebrated my husbands birthday here with our two adult children, their partners and our two dogs.The cottage was cozy warm, well equipped and immaculately clean. The host had left milk and cake for our arrival which was a nice touch. The log burner was a highlight which we enjoyed playing cards infront of each evening. We took a trip to another picturesque village, Lower Slaughter, for a lovely long walk and enjoyed a roast at the nearby, dog friendly, Bell pub. The only negative was the twin beds had not been made into a king as requested on our booking but overall a fantastic weekend and we would highly recommend.
