Perfectly located for Stow, just a short walk to The Porch House. The cottage was generally clean, well equipped, and nicely decorated, with good‑quality linen and towels. The off‑road parking and the thoughtful touch of complimentary milk and biscuits were much appreciated. A few areas could benefit from some routine maintenance to bring the property up to its full potential. Some windows and bathroom fittings would benefit from a deeper clean, bugs in light fitting, an anti-slip bath mat is needed, and a few ceiling cobwebs (landing/living room) and dust build‑ups (bathroom extractor /behind radiators) were noticeable in places. Some décor elements such as cracked/water stained ceilings, peeling paint, bubbled wallpaper—would benefit from a sand back and light touch‑up. It is situated on a busy main road so quite noisy but not troublesome once asleep. Overall, it’s a lovely base in a fantastic location, and with a bit of seasonal TLC it could be even better. Was reasonably well priced for its location and for that reason would stay again.

The cottage was great, we have stayed in stow many times and the location was perfect. The cottage had everything we needed however could have been prepared more for a holiday with a toddler. Ideally a baby gate set up prior to arrival. This was probably the only thing for us which would have helped a lot. I should have specified this prior to visiting so probably my fault. Parking generally was ok, it was a little tough to get a space if you left through the day and come back later on. It’s first come first served but it’s free and right outside the cottage row. Parking was also found on the main road. Staff were quick at replying but because it was an agent you were bounced from pillar to post sometimes for simple requests like early check ins etc… check in is from 5pm which is a little late in my opinion. I did ask for an earlier check in but was only confirmed on the day. Overall we would return, for us it had everything we needed the decor was a little dated downstairs but it was nice and clean. Thanks for a great trip.

Fantastic location. Shower door and kitchen sink could do with a bit of looking at. Very cosy.

We had a lovely stay in this little cottage which is perfectly situated for walks around Stow. The only issue with this property is the cleanliness, it needs a serious deep clean. There were cobwebs in every single room and the carpet looked like it hadn’t seen a hover for quite some time. The shower door was also broken so wouldn’t stay closed but we managed to wedge a towel so the door stayed put. It’s hard to believe the cottage was in such a need of cleaning when you consider check out is at 10am and check in is at 5pm. That’s 7 whole hours you have to do some serious cleaning, there’s no excuse. The location is ideal and the cottage itself is very cosy but the cleaning really needs attention
