Stow Cottage is highly praised for its prime location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, homely feel, and thoughtful touches like wine and biscuits. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning return visits.
Reviews consistently mention the cottage being clean and well-presented. A few isolated comments about unemptied dishwashers and bins do not significantly detract from the overall impression of high cleanliness standards.
The location is universally acclaimed for its convenience, being within walking distance to Stow's high street, shops, and restaurants, and serving as an excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, cosy, and well-suited for families. The beds are particularly praised for their comfort. Some feedback suggests room for improvement in shower facilities and bed linen quality.
The cottage is well-equipped, with a particularly well-stocked kitchen. However, some guests encountered issues with appliances and switches, suggesting a need for better maintenance and clearer instructions.
While guests mention appreciative gestures such as wine and biscuits, there are not enough reviews discussing these aspects to accurately assess the consistency of such thoughtfulness. Therefore, a score cannot be provided, and guests should note that such extras are not guaranteed.

Alison
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.

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.
