  : The cottage was an ideal for us group of friends for a long weekend. Lovely cosy cottage , with everything we needed for our time there. Parking was a, bonus and could park outside the cottage. The location was great , with plenty of places to eat and drink within walking distance. Cottage is cosy, with large fire place a kitchen with large table to sit around and eat. We were 4 adults so all had a bedroom each and there was plenty of bathrooms .Bathroom in 1st floor bathroom the toilet doesn't always flush.The kitchen has everything we needed. New wine glasses would be my only suggestion.For our long weekend this cottage was ideal and was a last minute change to due to my original cottage being unavailable. We had lovely long days out enjoying Stow and lovely cosy evening in the cottage.
  : As the cottage is on the main round the owners have put a frosting over the windows , so there is very little natural light ,We totalling get why this has been done, but maybe blinds would be better to have the natural light coming in. It did feel enclosed .

  : Great location. Stow and surrounding area is lovely.
  : We live in a quirky house with restricted heights/ceilings. The Cottage is not a suitable property for 7 adults. Maybe okay for a mix with children. The weather was good , but wed have struggled due space in the property if it had been wet/cold. Beds, bathrooms and plumbing are really not too clever. The whole place needs a good makeover and bathroom upgrades. Whilst the welcome pack ( biscuits, crisps, milk and truffles) was very good, the 10 mls of washing up liquid is a joke ( best not bother at all). Most alarmingly no soap/ shampoo supplies in any bathroom, if youre going to supply towels, surely you should provide soap? ( It might cost 3 for a weekend?) Im not ignoring the watered-down hand liquid soap, but that is a health issue. Those products are formulated with preservatives, so adding water is not only a bit mean, it is also not a good idea. The location is excellent.
