Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotlessly clean' and 'immaculate on arrival'. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience of the guests.
The location is consistently lauded for its convenience, being central and within walking distance to Stow's centre. The easy access to shops, pubs, and restaurants, along with hassle-free parking, makes the location nearly ideal for guests.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, mentioning 'comfy seating', 'comfortable beds', and a 'cosy' atmosphere. However, a few guests suggested improvements such as a TV in the bedroom and a heated towel rail, slightly impacting the comfort score.
The cottage is well-equipped, with guests appreciating the provided amenities and supplies. Some minor issues, such as difficulty using the dishwasher and suggestions for additional facilities, are noted, but overall, the facilities meet the needs of the guests.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no specific mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category accurately, and the score is set to null.

Have a slight issue with cobwebs, dust and bugs which looked like wood lice. Insistence on late arrival and departure times, which were changed after original contract. Access to the property was changed to 4.30pm yet departure was frequently empathized as non negotiable 10.00 am. Personally I would prefer earlier check in and later departure which means we could get the most from our holiday stay.

Only a short walk into the heart of Stow. Safe parking. Ideal base to explore the Cotswolds.

The cottage was spacious, yet cosy, tastefully furnished and decorated, fully equipped and spotlessly clean. The owners were quick to respond and help with any queries.
